Pop culture is everywhere, in fact, it's in your kitchen right now, eating all the yogurt. The problem is, the term "culture" is so generously used by too many people who have no idea how to define it. Much like irony, and Bjork. So, I'm hoping to kill that trend by defining the seemingly boundless scope of popular culture with a flair usually reserved for gay magicians. More Flair than Ric, mofos! I'll be adding at least one definition per night. There are worse ways to waste your time. Enjoy!

Little League
Little League - the genesis of more revisionist history than all the first dates and World Wars put together. Suddenly, every Dad played semi-pro ball in the Dominican and was a late season call up for the Padres in the late 80's. Then they scream down their kid for "embarrassing your family."

Dude, I played as basically a part of my parents' divorce terms. That and Jew school back-to-back on Sundays were the bane of my week.
ReplyDeleteOf course they stuck me on my Dad's friend's team, and we were the worst team in the league, which aggravated his gout constantly. Remember how the Mighty Ducks gave their first coach a coronary from sucking? That was us. With rich food.
But one year, we totally walloped the best team in the league in a first round playoff upset. We made kid's fuckin' cry, bro. Like 12 year olds. Big ones. With clubs.
