S: 1440 Digest
ON this date in The Adventures of Bun Man and Mr. Purple will not be updated today.
I tried, Lord knows I tried but seems the Boys found my stock of select National Geographics highlighting the African Continent and, well, let's just say they're fixated on some anatomy...
You can take the boob out of the boy, but you can't take the Boyz away from the Boobs.
Yea, boobs pretty much rock it for most of us males.
RADIO FIXING
ON this date in 1956 - NFL commissioner Bert Bell disallowed the use of radio-equipped helmets by NFL quarterbacks.
Bun Man still shrieks when he remembers the story of Y.A. Title wearing his helmet w/ that big, long antenna protruding from the top.
Y.A. put his head down on a QB run and completely pierced DB Jonny VanStreuben along the sideline.
It was a gory mess...all the NFL King's horses, all the NFL King's men and even Mr. Purple couldn't put Jonny back together again.
ADJUSTING
Ken-Dogger: Hey Brutus, what up?
Brutus: Can ears express?
KD: Wha?
B: Well, with these masks, I can’t see your whole face. I was just wondering what to focus on.
KD: Not sure about ears expressing, I guess they can, but the movement seems limited.
B: Well then, how do I know you’re kind when you are wearing a mask.
KD: You know it by how I act, you also know it by my eyes.
B: Ah, the eyes, windows to the soul…Guess I’ll have to adjust.
KD: We all are Brutus, we all are.

Yes, so cherish the LOVE...
