A wrap-up of the weekend that was:
- AMI's executive director Aaron Perlut reported May 23, he chose to remove his cookie duster. He reports said soup strainer is now back, in full bloom. God bless.
- CNN is reporting that most Americans think the economy is weak but will improve. Yeah, well, there's a news flash. Thank you for your hard-hitting coverage of the information that matters to the general public.
- We told you Thursday we think the Celtics will prevail over the Lakers in seven. And with Boston's 108 - 102 victory in game two last night, we are getting closer. But now the series heads to LA for three games where the tide can turn. So we may see a return to Boston with the Lakers up 3 - 2. But who the hell knows? Only my college buddies gambling their infant sons' and daughters' college savings away but betting the over on South Boise State University's women's lacrosse team in their third game of the season vs. St. Genevieve's School for Ambulatory Wellness of Newark.
- We all have been wondering what Clay Aiken's been up to. All of us. He's so freaking manly....yeah....well. He tell's CNN that his private life is off limits. We really can't figure that one out. Oh, yes, wait a minute...it may be because his private life has his dressing up like Little Bo Peep....now that's not very fair.
- Huge news out of bowling circles! Huge! The International Bowling Museum & Hall of Fame in St. Louis announced it's pulling up stakes and moving to Dallas. This will be an enormous loss for the dozens of bowling fans who have visited the museum since it opened in the early 1980s. As St. Louis residents, we at AMI are crushed, simply crushed.
- We should have reported on this last week, but the AMI kickball team finished it's glorious season. The team won three straight games in day one of the playoff weekend but perished the next day in the final day's games. Better luck next year.
- Finally, we're so glad that "horse season" is now over with the racing of Saturday's Belmont Stakes. Now we have to deal with the fallout from steroid-filled Big Brown losing. I just can't wait for the horse news to go away for the next nine months. Seriously, who cares? When Barbaro died a few years back, our sports pages were littered with endless banter about the freaking animal. It's an animal! Get over it and bring on the Fall football season.
That is all. Carry on.
About afroman
The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
