That was the revised, politically correct version of what I 
originally wrote. I do think, though, this is going to be the last 
official year of The Curse Of Mike Piazza. The concept of 
Steinchthulhu, though, is a big hit among a small but vocal group on 
alt.sports.baseball.ny-mets . Think about it... the NY Yankees owned 
by a supremely evil, giant, drooling-idiot, octopus-headed man-eating 
toad from another dimension. It explains a lot, doesn't it?

QED. Add The Sting, The Godfather, The French Connection, Blazing 
Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and a few others.

Vaguely.

Nope.

Unfortunately.
