Baseball Thoughts
I've been watching the World Series and enjoying it very much thank you. But, a couple things. . .
The first two Red Sox player they interviewed after tonight's game thanked God for their win. That's nice and all, it just kind of bugs me. And of course, it begs the age-old question, if God is on the Red Sox side, then who is on the Cardinal's side? Or how about the winner saying, "I'd like to thank Satan for the win, the goat we sacrificed on the pentagram in the locker room must have really turned the trick."
I know that's kind of lame, I just wanted to link to a picture of Hot Stuff and thats the only way I could think of to mention Satan.
What's with all the loser St. Louis fans turning their hats inside out around the seventh inning?
I don't get this "God Bless America" stuff during the seventh inning either. I guess that's some post-9/11 deal and if you don't like it you hate our freedom or something. Whatever happened to "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." Thats the seventh-inning stretch song dammit.
For someone who said he was enjoying the World Series, that was a lot of bitching. Its just so much easier to complain than to say something nice.
Literature Korner:
Here's a chance for everyone to learn something. I'm going to keep running entries from that wonderful book: A Handbook by Literature by Holmon and Harmon.
Epanalepsis: the repitition at the end of a clause of a word or phrase that occurred at its beginning, as in Shakespeare's lines from King John (II, i):
"Blood hath bought blood, and blows have answer'd blows;
Strength match'd with strength, and power confronted power."
The device is used extensively by Milton and Whitman.
