Washington, a samurai sword... I'd say at least a ninety percent chance of it being an Ichiro card.

Love this hilarious quote from the article....get out much?

"....police sent a SWAT team to the baseball carnoisseur's layer...."

Not sure what a "carnoisseur" is, but I guess the guy had chickens in the back yard.....

David Mailman or Wally Post

castle?

Am I the only one who wants to know what card it was?

the carnoisseur's layer

I believe it was for protection against meat-eating dinosaurs. The carnoisseur was a plant eating dinosaur with no external body armor. It had an extra layer of skin that shed when the creature was bitten, allowing it to escape. Male carnoisseurs would surround the female while she was laying her eggs, in order to protect her. Several years ago, scientists found footprints of such a scene in Mongolia, where careful reconstruction showed that the heroic males were able to to defend the female by retreating to an ever-smaller circle until the attacking allosaurus was distracted by what researchers believe was a 1952 Topps Gus Zernial.

#7 I believe it all except the Zernial bit. Everybody knows you need a DiMaggio for defensive purposes.

Clearly he's the last card collector in America to find out about Strasburg's injury.

What a Fu*k Face!

I think being a carnoisseur includes having an unhealthy attraction to Diane Ladd.

Negotiators asked the man to come out using a loud speaker and bombarded his home with tear gas, in response the man threw the tear gas back onto the street.

This just killed me. I love the idea of the SWAT team standing there, launching tear gas, only to have to come bouncing back at them 10 seconds later. It's like something out of a movie.

Thanks to jwb, I followed the link and discovered that the hottie who played Gwendolyn Pierce on Charles in Charge is 50 years old!!!!

#13: Yeah, but she still looks as dashing as ever.

launching tear gas, only to have to come bouncing back at them 10 seconds later.

how often does this really happen? whenever i see it in a movie, i think 'oh sure, more hollywood stuff.'

#13: Yeah, but she still looks as dashing as ever.

Tinyurl? There's basically zero chance that isn't an Albright link...

Always with the stereotypes, these people.

Wow, the video is great.

The guy who got threatened has a neck tattoo.

There's no such thing as an unhealthy attraction to Diane Ladd.
