All over ESPN last night and today were highlights from the Orioles game of money falling from the sky. A bunch of singles were falling from somewhere and all the fans and players were picking them up and laughing about it throughout the game. It turns out that there was a "big-timer" sitting in a luxury box who threw a bunch of singles out of the box into the stands. He thought it was hilarious.
It would be hilarious, if he had thought of it first. Last year a group of us went to a ballgame at Miller Park on a Saturday. We were playing a game in which we passed around a cup and either put money in, or took money out, depending on what the batter did when you had the cup. At the end of the game, after one of many Derrick Turnbow's implosions, my buddy "Snowman" threw the cup with about $7 in out over the edge. People around us couldn't believe that we would throw money around like that. We told them, "thats how we roll..." Somehow we didn't get on ESPN for that, but this second-act wannabe does, WTF? Get your own material buddy.
Now if Snowman would actually get his own blog, this is exactly something he could blog about....

I like stealing ideas. No one gets hurt, and I make money.
I appreciate your giving credit where it's due. True geniuses are usually never recognized by their contemporaries. Instead I have to listen to people talk about how charlatans like Pacman Jones invented 'making it rain'. Clearly I need to punch even more strippers in the face . . .
