Great earworm! Since my most recent earworm was from a TV commercial, I’m truly grateful!

If you're going to have an earworm (and in my experience you will about 53% of the time) you might as well have a good one and Liar, Liar meets that criteria. I always thought that was a woman singing, but apparently it was the guitarist, Robert Folschow. In any case, you're welcome.

Good thing he shot his “wide,” first that typo might have been her “One too Many.”

Fair point. That might have been one of those Freudian slips that deserves a swift quick in the pants. Or maybe I'm just a bad typist. Either way, once again it's my fault.

All these random ideas come together for a very amusing piece of writing.

Jen, thank you very much. I've told this story before, but when I first started covering the Kansas City Royals I had to write a lot and hated what I was producing because I was trying to imitate sports writing in newspapers. Finally I said to hell with that and decided to write like I talked and just tell stories.

That must have worked because I've had people who know me say my writing (digressions, wild goose chases and the occasionally profanity) sounds just like the way I talk. So apparently I can't stay on track in the Real World either.

In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
