an old one, but Larry Andersen tormenting Mariners manager Rene Lachemann with Jell-O is always a good one

Certainly, as Lachemann can attest, no one comes close to pulling pranks like Andersen. Lachemann should know. He was victimized by “Mr. Jell-O,” considered by Lachemann as the greatest prank in baseball history.

“To this day, I refuse to take my eye off him,” Lachemann said.

It happened in 1982 when Lachemann was managing the Seattle Mariners, and the team was in Chicago. Lachemann went to Rush Street after the game, leaving Andersen, Richie Zisk and Joe Simpson all the time they needed for their devious plot.

They procured a room key to his suite and began stashing every item they could find into the bathroom. Furniture. The bed. Light bulbs. Paintings. Even the digital alarm clock.

When Lachemann came into his room, a bit inebriated as he recalls, he flicked on the light switch. No light. He tried to feel for his bed. It was gone, too.

He finally found everything in the bathroom, including a toilet full of green Jell-O and went absolutely berserk. He called Zisk. He called Tom Paciorek. They couldn’t hear a word, because the mouthpiece from his phone also was missing. Lachemann finally slept on the floor.

He spent his entire season trying to find the culprit. In every city he went, Jell-O boxes were left in his suite. Once, the coaching staff went to his room only to open a couple of cans of beer and to find more Jell-O.

“I mean I’m doing everything I can to find out who’s behind this,” Lachemann said. “Everything leaks out in baseball. You think I’d find out from somebody. It was absolutely amazing.

“If these guys were in the White House, Nixon would still be President because there were no leaks.”

WXPN doing their Beatles block reminded my of my foolproof Beatles Compass classification system (placement within quadrant doesn't mean anything, it's just a binary yes/no on each axis for me)

Blank Political Compass with the two axes labeled "Enjoyability" and "Musical Quality" producing four quadrants with the following labels and examples:

Good Good Beatles Songs:
- In My Life
- Here, There, and Everywhere

Good Bad Beatles Songs
- Octopus's Garden
- Rocky Raccoon

Bad Good Beatles Songs
- Yesterday
- Across the Universe

Bad Bad Beatles Songs
- Piggies
- Yellow Submarine

I was trespassed from a Panera Bread recently for screaming at a bunch of pro ICE old people that they should go home and off themselves and I don't regret a second of it.

You could easily convince kids these days that the Chicago Bulls were a fake team that WB made up for Space Jam to avoid copyright issues

Well, that was cool. But we can't put in on a pizza.

My Python book wanted me to build a program that prompts for pizza toppings to practice user input and while loops, and I think I have to rename this one yo_dawg.py now

What topping would you like to put on your pizza?

Ok, we'll add pizza to your pizza.

still working on getting all the way to Fern Rock (it's expensive and I'm still dealing with the bond I took out to get from Cecil to Erie) but you better believe I'm planning ahead so I can drop the Roosevelt Boulevard subway in there when the time comes

For the real sickos, this might be the giveaway that I'm more or less following the Merritt Taylor plan. 29th St el into a subway by the Parkway, through Rittenhouse, then down to the old 25th St freight el somehow. Not a high priority yet, just sketching the idea for a cost estimate

Of all the fantasies I've had in this game, a South Front Street el is probably the one I most want in the real world. Think of all the extra John's Roast Pork we could be eating
