We're probably going to need a thread to talk some trash about the Cubs at some point this year... and since I came across a brilliant nugget last night, I thought why not start it now. While reading over Sparky Lyle's Bronx Zoo (a great behind-the-scenes journal - basically - chronicalling the 1978 ('Bucky Bleeping Dent!' season), I found this priceless bit about Sweet Lou:

 

 

"Lou has a habit of grabbing the ends of his hair with the tips of his fingers, twirling them into a strand, running his fingertips along the strand, and then after dropping the strand, he smells his fingers. It's a compulsion for him. He can't stand not to do it.

 

Before the game, Lou was getting on Cat [Catfish Hunter] real good. He said, 'When I take my wife out to dinner, I take her in my Cadillac. When you take your wife, you take her in a John Deere tractor.'

 

Cat said, 'Oh yeah, why don't you go smell your hair.' Lou didn't know what to say. He said, 'What? Huh? What did you say?' Then Cat and Craig and a couple of other guys put their fingers up to their nose they way Lou does and started smelling them. Afterward, Lou was grabbing the ends of his hair, twirling them like he always does, but he wouldn't drop the strand unless he was sure no one was watching him. He waited and waited, and when he thought no one was watching, real nonchalantly he sniffed his fingers."

 

If there's any way we can get a "Lou - Why don't you go smell your hair?" t-shirt, or some variation thereon, I think it has to be done.

 

For suggestion, front would read "Lou - why don't you go smell your hair?", and the back would feature this stunner:

That was great, I was lol at that. The thought of all those guys putting their fingers to their noses was too much.

That is awesome.

 

I found some good Cubs jokes on the internet. No better place than here to post them.

 

 

"Will the lady who left her nine kids at Wrigley Field, please pick them up. They are beating the Cubs 4-1 in the bottom of the 7th."

 

 

"What does the World Series and a bear on birth control have in common? Neither one can have Cubs."

 

 

"How many drunken frat boys does it take to over turn a car? I don't know but we will find out if the Cubs ever win the World Series."
