How this blog got its name
------------------------------------
There was a large painting of Evel Knievel shaking hands with Richard Nixon. It hung in the Mayors office. Late one evening after everyone went home. I took it down to the lab. I zoomed in on Evel’s left eye a 100x and enhanced it. It was an address. I went to the address. It was a modest, 1970’s style, split level ranch home in the suburbs.
-----------------------------------
Inside I found a dead parrot lying on a waterbed. I revived the parrot with some saltines and adrenaline. We became good friends. The parrots name was Randy. One night a few years later while Randy and me played Gin Rummy, he sang me a song about a fire. The title of this blog was never mentioned but I sensed it, and Randy confirmed it by giving me ‘THE LOOK’.

Right about now Earl Weaver is cussing out God. For those of you who don’t know Earl Weaver, he was the baseball manager for the Baltimore Orioles for almost 20 years in the late 60’s - the mid 80’s. The only thing ol Earl liked more than a 3 run homer was cussing and getting tossed outta games.
Another great vid is Earl giving an foul mouthed interview as a gag that was actually taped http://youtu.be/QWQbN0jFo_k
