    People who, when you agree to meet them at 5:30 for a social event, say, " I have been waiting for 20 minutes!" when you walk up at 5:27.

    I can't imagine a child alive seeking out Tommy Lasorda's signature unless they get poked in the ribs by some geezer saying "Go get that guy's autograph." He might as well be the mailman to anyone under 25.

    Tommy Lasorda is a despicable old clown.

    A guy here at my job was retiring after a long time with the company, a big wig, and their idea for a surprise gift? An authentic LaSorda jersey signed by him. Why? Because the guy's favorite baseball figure was Tommy LaSorda. WTF. So the powers that be here were on a wild goose chase in NYC to find an authentic LaSorda jersey. Couldn't find one. Or not one for a reasonable price anyway. Hall of Fame apparently doesn't make 'em either because no one fucking wants one. So ultimately they settled on getting a knockoff in LA, got LaSorda to sign it. But what's he do? He signs the front. So they have to track him down again, ask him to sign the back near his name. So now the thing has dual signatures. So they get it framed in a case with glass on both sides. Then they fly the thing on a private jet to a leadership conference where they present this retiring exec, a company lawyer, with the framed LaSorda jersey.

    These guys are not gods, and they should be reminded of that when necessary.

    "OH, YEAH? WELL, FUCK YOU, FATASS!" was sorely needed in Lasorda's case. Light that fucker up.

    This thread makes me want to ask the opposite. Do you ever yearn?

    I don't yearn, but my mom crochets.
