Just been emailed this little bit of trivia . . .
-In 1963, baseball pitcher Gaylord Perry remarked, "They'll put a man on the moon before I hit a home run." On July 20, 1969, a few hours after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, Gaylord Perry hit his first (and only) home run.
What I want to know is - what were the parents thinking!?! I mean, come on! Who calls their kid Gaylord??

It was a popular name until the Homosexual Rights activists stole a perfectly good word.
Frankly though, I prefer the word "gay" hijacked, rather than have to live in a world that actively discriminates against people on the basis of sexuality.
For as those who oppose Civil Union or same sex marriage: Oooo monogamous gay people! How scary. (That was sarcasm btw).
Good on Gaylord for hitting that home run though.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Do you think Gaylord was a Packer?
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society

Why do you ask? Was he known to moonlight at the fudge factory? I've heard that the people who work afterhours there in the packing dept tend to keep it pretty quiet . . .

What about the unfortunate surname of the girl who won America's Next Top Model competition - Pigford!
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
