Flash Cavalcade #13

We drink Ritalin and so should you!

Nostradamus Redux

Here’s something that’s been rattling in my head the last few days. I think it came about during a fever dreamDo Flavor Flav’s prophetic lines

“So get up, get, get get down

911 is a joke in yo town

Get up, get, get, get down

Late 911 wears the late crown”

from the song “9-1-1 is a joke” have to take on a new meaning these days? Or even be wiped from the historical record?

Could Flavor Flav have known something our own government wouldn’t tell us? Is he a modern day Nostradamus with advanced knowledge of the “world-changing” events of this past September? Could the government have tried to sensor the clairvoyant Flav? Maybe his buddy, loudmouth Chuck D knows. If only we could get Chuckie to speak out about important issues, like team mascots.

Going, going, gone!

Why would a man who makes $700,000 a year steal and sell his teammate’s baseball glove for $2,500? Ruben Rivera, a 28-year-old outfielder for the New York Yankees was released Monday night for allegedly swiping the glove of All-Star shortstop Derek Jeter. Sources say Rivera sold the glove to a memorabilia dealer and had plans to steal Steinbrenner’s jock and sell it on eBay. The Yankees left the final “should he stay or should he go” decision up to Rivera’s teammates, who apparently discussed the matter for a full 60 seconds before rendering judgment.
