Golders Makes Her Rounds
Whimsical eBay artist and parasol fancier Golders often talks of "making her rounds." Apparently it's something she does with a dog dressed in drag and a loaded 357 magnum. Whenever she says it, this is the image I see. Watch out for hiney bugs!

Old School All Stars
Lester "Baby Huey" Hughes
Mick Reasor
Gouache on Rives BFK, 3.5 x 2.5 inches.
From a time before endorsement deals, earrings and astroturf when real men with politically incorrect nicknames played their entire careers for the same team, comes Old School All Stars. Original, One-of-a-kind miniature paintings by Mick Reasor featuring fictional heroes of the gridiron. This card portrays Lester "Baby Huey" Hughes, offensive tackle for the Cleveland Cuyahogas. "Baby Huey" reports to training camp every year with a little more "luggage." But that bulk has helped him become the proverbial "immovable object" on the offensive line.

Noah and the Raven: Doves Get All the Credit
Mick Reasor, Gouache on Paper, 2.5 x 3.5 inches
Genesis Chapter 8
6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
7 And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
8 Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Some believe the raven was sent out to feed off the carrion left behind by the flood. Finding none it returned only to be refused entry by Noah and was forced to go forth to and fro. Other cholars have theorized that the raven, rather than being sent on a mission, was evicted because he had broken the rule against procreation while on the ark. Is it any wonder he refuses to appear in a painting with Noah?

The Inspector Calls the Strikes and Balls
One of the few times you'll catch Inspector Fitzgerald, proud member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, out of uniform is when he serves as umpire for the Regimental Baseball Tournament. The Inspector is in great demand as an umpire. It's not because he's especially fair or well versed in the rules of the game but because his calls are consistently bad, leaving neither team the advantage. The Inspector calls them as he "sees" them.

Elvis and the Badger
Great Moments in Rock & Roll History:
You Ain't Nothin' But a Badger?
Concept art for the ill-fated You Ain't Nothin' But a Badger record sleeve is the only remaining evidence of a narrowly averted Rock & Roll disaster. On the eve of the release, after 27 takes, songsters Lieber and Stoler rewrote the original lyrics substituting a hound dog for the badger and making the lyrics a little less encyclopedic. The reworked single was released with Don't be Cruel and the record stayed at #1 for eleven weeks.
The original lyrics?
You ain't nothin' but a badger
Tunneling after ground dwelling rodents all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a badger
Your name possibly derived from the badge like marks on your head.
You're the state animal of Wisconsin
And the namesake of Pittsburgh Penguins hockey coach "Badger Bob" Johnson
