While I was waiting for the train today at the Central Sq. T-stop I spied a gentleman across the platform wearing a "Cedar Point Athletics" t-shirt. For those of you who don't know, Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, OH. Like me, you may be asking, what does an amusement park have to do with athletics? Well, my friends, I'd love to offer you an answer, but I'm stumped as well. All I can come up with is more questions. Like, who is the bigger asshole, the guy who decided that a CPA shirt would be a good idea, or the guy who agreed and bought the shirt?

It reminds me of this stupid school fund raising event we had at the venerable Butler Intermediate High school. If we could get something like half a billion people to get a subscription to Newsweek we could win a t-shirt. Not just any t-shirt mind you, but a "Butler Polo Club" t-shirt. Ha ha ha. Butler is a town of about 20,000 people an hour north of pittsburgh. There is high unemployment because all the steel plants closed. The closest thing to a polo club at butler would be the coin-operated rocking horses outside of k-mart. i didn't sell any magazine subscriptions that year. or ever , really.

you should all go out and buy snow patrol. they're really good.
