legend at the bar tonight told me the following facts:

Mickey Mantle invented the Wild Card and the World Series
Ben Franklin is the only non-president on a bill
once you run for president and lose, you're not allowed to run again
Mike Ditka used to elbow people in the face back when he played in the '30s for the Chicago Bears

i'm quite sure there were other facts. but these were my favorites.

Is it awkward to ask my boss if he has a copy of my resume?

You should ask him for all his twenties, as Alexander Hamilton was not a President so those moneys are obviously fakes.

When I lived in Bloomfield, I remember watching the local access cable channel and I'd see announcements for something called a "tricky tray" which I think were fundraisers. They were typically run by the PTA or some such group. I had never heard of one before.

speaking of Colbert, I read this:

He boosted Wired’s newsstand sales by 38 percent, Esquire’s by 17 percent, Newsweek’s by 16 percent (according to unaudited numbers), and GQ’s by 6 percent. New York’s sales of its Colbert-fronted issue were about average, and Rolling Stone has not yet reported the numbers for its August 14, 2009 issue, with Colbert on the cover.
