Trying to figure out what we wanted to post here today, we came across this: SportsPop: A Realistic View Of A Fictional Fantasy Baseball Team. It seemed like a no brainer that we would post this. It’s about baseball. It’s about fantasy baseball. It’s about how fantasy baseball collides with out cultural landscape. And it allows us to restate our longstanding complaint that any fantasy baseball roster made up of fictional characters that does not feature Crash Davis is a complete waste of time.

But then we came across this: “Elgin Woman Charged with Sixth DUI Comes to Court Drunk, Authorities Say.” This one wasn’t as obvious for posting since, for those of us who operate the SLPL Blog, drunk is our new sober. Sober is what’s discombobulating. Sober is our new drunk. We can’t handle sober. To have arrived at the courthouse for our sixth DUI sober would have been news. So we weren’t going to post this story ... until we came across this line: “She received two DUI convictions in 1999 for separate offenses that occurred on the same day.” Regardless of our perpetually high blood alcohol levels -- just to give you a sense of proportion, we call them “alcohol blood levels” -- not one of us here at the SLPL Blog has the nads nor the dimwittedness required to get behind the wheel within 24 hours after receiving a DUI arrest. I mean, really, this lady’s a drunken marvel.

So, what to post on the blog? Dis aceball dorey or dat dunkem one? Oh, darnit ... we muth bee thober aggin.
