I'm coming out with a new book just in time for the hollidays. I figured that since I work at a job I really don't like all that much, I may as well capitalize on the opportunity and cash in while I can.
So what is this book?
It's going to be a new coffe table book that sweeps the nation. Our America...or even the world...hasn't seen the likes of it since Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables.

Because you all are my loyal readers, I'm going put the Introduction to the book on this blog. This is the same introduction you will see once the book comes out. The following should explain everything.


Ladies and Gentlemen, the Introduction to my first coffee table book.


Introduction
Being a teacher puts me a unique position. I get to
educate America’s tomorrow. I also get to confiscate
their notes. The following notes you are about to
read have been censored in terms of who wrote them and
cuss words. Every note in here was either found on the
floor, a desk, the water fountain or seized.

Some times I wonder if I were to have let him or her
write a little longer…just a little longer… what other
magnificent insights you, me, and the world would
receive from these seventh graders. However, I can’t
take that chance. If by the chance they quit writing
and put it away, I can’t have them open their
three-ring binder and ask them to take out the note
they were just writing on, can I?

you've got to be kidding

A lady in St. Louis had this in her obituary this weekend...


"Mrs. Eckert was a member of Zion United Church of Christ, Millstadt, Ill., Zion Women's Fellowship, VFW Post 7980 Ladies Auxiliary, Millstadt, Ill., an avid Wednesday night bingo player at VFW, when she was younger and playing softball she led the league in batting, she made several quilts, enjoyed cooking and baking and she was a big Cardinals fan, she was glad to see Ray King traded."


I don't make this stuff up, people. I just report what I see.

Whoever posted that, obviously didn't leave a comment on the last post, so guess what you get.

More baseball talk! Maybe someday, we'll learn our lesson.

Last year, Edgar Renteria signed with the Boston Red Sox. Then, David Eckstein signed with the Cardinals. Cubs fans every where were going nuts.

"Ha! Eckstein to the Cardinals! He's...like...12!"

Cubs fans love to say that Eckstein is looks like a twelve year old. As if that makes him play worse.
That's fine. That's one heckuva 12 year old baseball player.

Cardinals fans all along said that Boston fans were going to rip Edgar apart, and he would not be nearly as good or happy there. Not soon after the season started, fans there started calling him, "Edgar Rentawreck". Rentawreck commited an MLB leading 30 errors, and did very little with the bat.

Yesterday he was traded. To the Braves. Now, I actually think that he could do very well under Bobby Cox. But, I think I can speak for all of Cardinal Nation when I say to Renteria...I told you so*.

Matt Morris should learn from this and resign with the Cardinals. 8 million per year for him is the going rate now, and that'd be okay with me. I'd rather have Burnett, but not at 55 million dollars.



* I've actually never talked to Edgar Renteria. However, a year ago I did say "Edgar is not going to be good in Boston. It's going to be too much pressure" to my computer screen.

Danny Cox's 1985 brown blazer

Because of my stent, I have not been able to tuck in my shirt for the past 2 months. It hurts whenever I have to tighten my belt *down there*.

So when it comes to what I've been wearing to school, I've had to adapt. Go with the flow. Listen to what my body has to tell me. And it's been telling me, "Jerry, just go with it. Go with it." So I've been wearing jeans at least 3 out of the 5 work days, and I moslty wear long sleeved dressed shirts, a variety of Steve Madden shoes, and top it all off with one of my 3 blazers. Navy Blue, Grey, and Brown Chorduroy.

Today I chose Steve Madden shoes with orange stripes (which Tim Lybarger made fun of), a tan brown and orange striped dress shirt, and my classic Brown Chord blazer. Get that mental picture in your head. Got it?

When I walked into first hour today, one of the girls asked if I could come over to her. I went over there, and she said, "Mr. Cox, you are the best dressed teacher. You're always mixing and matching. I love your outfit today! You're always lookin' clean. You should be voted best dressed teacher this year."

Then her fellow brotha chimed in.
"Yeah, Mr. Cox! You're like a white Kanye West!"




George Bush hates white people!!

5 years, $55 million

Who in the world would want to play for the TORONTO BLUE JAYS?!?!!? When they're offering $15 million dollars more than the Cardinals, I guess anyone. The Cards were said to offer 4 years at $40 million, and with that, I'd be a little weary. But 5 years and $55 million?



Even if AJ would have went with the Cardinals offer, it would have been near impossible to resign Mulder and Carpenter when their time would come. How can you give 10 million dollars to a guy with a career .500 record and expect to sign a Cy Young award winner, and the guy with the best winning % in the major leagues to less money?
Jocketty is one of the best GMs and he always finds his guys to fill in. I'll just sit back and watch him do his thang.
