Sweet Uncle Lou’s “Friday” Roundup: The “Chicago Folk Heroes United” Edition
Well, well, well. The two greatest baseball players in Chicago history are finally united in San Francisco. The Giants’ signing of Mark DeRosa unites the stubbly heartthrob with Aaron Rowand, who made ladies swoon over the “run face-first into a wall” move before Reed Johnson thought of it. Thus, the 2010 Giants became an unstoppable juggernaut. It’s been slow around here lately, but all of our New Year’s resolutions are to post more often, finish the damn T79, and just generally be the best damn HJE we can possibly be. Thanks, as always, for the tips. Have a safe and happy New Year’s celebration, and I will see you in 2010.

- The article is nothing special, but I have to admit that I laughed out loud at this headline.
- All this talk of Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson, and Brittany Murphy has me longing for the simpler death of a Gary Gygax. (HT: CT)
- If you’re one of the millions of people playing Farmville every day, you might enjoy this. (HT: Brant)
That’s it for me, kids. Everyone be careful tomorrow night. Champagne can make you do some strange things, like sign Aaron Miles.

Is that Judy Baar Topinka on #7 of the Holiday Card link? It is! I recognize that clown makeup from a mile away.
My sweat smells like lilacs.
