Accepted! But don't feel bad about the diapers. Ironically, I wear them too. I have a very rare condition that causes me too crap my pants anytime I yawn. A big steamer at that. It's controlled by frequent naps, but with a 1 year old son at home, and a lack of sleep ever since he was born, my diapers just aren't cutting it. I'm kind of a husky guy, so you know what that means. Husky guy = hearty dump. Ok, this is getting carried away...

I figured he was either Hunter or Warren Zevon, but since Warren has been dead for nearly a year, that's not an option - although HST and WZ were great friends.
I'm a big fan of both - HST and WZ that is.

Mr. H.S. Thompson did write a small article for S.I. about baseball cards entitled, Fear and Loathing in Newport Beach. He avered the whole hobby was built around Visine sales. Also, he only let men with one testicle grade his cards. Testosterone gets in the way of fair grading. Macho-style chuckleheads tend to project their own grade on a card without taking in the full nuance. It's akin to seeing that your wife bought new drapes. You see drapes while your wife sees an existential motif. Drapes say a lot about a family. Next to raw cash in a hidden safety deposit box, drapes are the best determiner of financial wealth. Hairy, hulking card jockeys often see a 1954 Willie Mays while a scrotal challenged card opiner notes the shade of yellow, the beauty of Willie's smile and the malignant presence of numbers on the back of the card. Women and half-men don't like numbers. They are constantly battling with quanities. How many cups of Crisco for this recipe? How many milligrams of Valium do I give the baby to go to sleep? These are uncomfortable questions for minds that haven't developed too far past object permanence. Why must we pay 54.52 to the phone company when we could send 56 dollars? I don't know. Probably because a round number negates all our extra hours of work to accumulate those few cents. Pretty soon we'll just round it to 60 dollars and, then, shoes will either be free or over 200 dollars. But, the whole point is Cliff Heathcote heavily influences our daily lives even though he's dead and didn't really do crap back when a baseball was as hard as your grandpa after a renal stroke.
I want to say I love Earl Whitehill. He might have scribbled serial killer poetry in chalk on school playgrounds and fed park bears hash brownies, but, in my mind, he's pure. He represents everything good in the world. Then, much like us, he's sent to a completely arbitrary institution to be judged and labeled. We were all raw cards at one time. Now, we have fifty different subgrades and we put our parents in pre-morgues called retirement homes because they didn't rebel and raise us in the wild with the aforementioned park bears. Card grading is going to continue and grow. We can't fight it. It's just as unavoidable as the destruction of the Amazon which was begun to make baseball cards. It's a vicious cycle rotating on a tilt-a-whirl. Baseball card grading is entropy in reverse. It breaks most of the physical rules of the universe. Cards are becoming more ordered. Their diaspora is being reigned and reversed. We can only hope the men with one testicles use their power wisely. The rest of us are doomed to missing the fairway and hitting out of seven inch rough. That grass grabs your hosel and forces you to hook everything. We're all hookers now except for those fortunate enough to have a testicle that decided it was staying put instead of going south. I think you all know what I mean.

When "entropy" is used in a cultural sense as opposed to it's usage in thermodynamics or information theory, it's opposite would be "extropy."
