‘Why don’t we just make up a player and draft him?’

January 7, 2014 By Kathy Shaidle

Sometimes I miss the Seventies.

People talk about “epic” pranks but this one was truly a work of art.

Although this new one is not only funny, but was undertaken in the service of exposing an elitist scam, a la the Sokal Hoax…

Another problem is that if we indeed insert Sholay dialogues here, they will all show up in red due to the spell check, and we are a little worried that someone might hit pagedown and notice that section. So, instead, we are replacing it with dialogues from our wife’s favorite English movie, My Cousin Vinnie.
