Nice pic, Aaron.  Would "Davis Delivers" have sounded like a courier company slogan?

I've had a dislike of alliteration ever since the project in grade school art class where we were supposed to create the box for an alliterative breakfast cereal -- I made Slaughtered Sloth Sloppies, with a drawing of a bowl full of bloody chunks of meat and fur.  I will never forget the grade and comment:

D-  inappropriately gruesome

Funny story today:

I'm sitting in my marketing class today and some dude sitting in front of me is talking to his friend via MSN. Since this class was generally pretty boring, I looked over and realized that his friend's MSN picture (the little picture on the right of the conversation box) was one of NFHs. (The Blue Jays logo with the players ingrained within).

Good work travels fast!

Slaughtered Sloth Sloppies- D-

No wonder some kids get turned off by the education system.  All the creativity gets sapped out of them. 

Is it just me, or does Romero have the look of the crafty lefty? Maybe I'm wishcasting.

I have a handful of pictures of him with a sneaky look on his face...

"Is it just me, or does Romero have the look of the crafty lefty? Maybe I'm wishcasting."

Not only that, but he reminds me a wee bit of Pedro Martinez..... well maybe I'm dreaming but what the hey. :)

I met Davis Romero in Cleveland last August and he reminded me of FES from That 70s Show. The parallels were quite amusing. I had my picture taken with him and between my height over him and the stands adding a few inches, I had to really lean down to get both of us in the picture. He's really, really small.

Then the other night in the bullpen he let out a "Aieeeeee!". I'm not sure what prompted him to, but it had hilairous results.

That reminds me, I have a picture of Reed Johnson standing next to Alex Rios -- all I think of whenever I look at it is that guy from Lost standing next to a talking tree.

And all this time you didn't realize that it was your use of imagery, not alliteration that landed you the harsh criticism?

I'd love to see an artist's rendition of Slaughtered Sloth Sloppies, if goof-off time is abundant enough.

Or a challenge for more great breakfast names of the same alliterative animal variety. Pureed Pig Porridge. Wallopped Walrus Waffles. Crunchy Crocodile Crisp.

They've forever been fused in my mind.
