Who in their right mind would want this ugly thing? At $25 per, too.

I don't understand.

it looks like the world's worst fresco.

is it a t-shirt? or a towel? or just an ugly gif? that's a bit much for a gift, even with the goat.

It's a sample. Duh!

It's an 18" x 24" poster, sold by the fine folks at curseofthebillygoat.net. I saw the ad in today's Red Eye. Interesting to see that these talentless carpetbaggers are from Nebraska, too.

The world needs more Space Moose posters and less cubsfan horseshit, it's true.

Is it a clever allegory that I don't understand?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I like it until I know why.

It's a sample. Duh!

It's sarcasm. Duh!

Anyways, that's an ugly image regardless of what it is stamped on. But then again, it is aimed at the sporting crowd so maybe it is spot-on.

I'd be curious to find out what medium the original art was done in ...

I think baseball geeks may very well be the worst geeks of all.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Nah, star wars or star trek.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

maybe they should just sell mirrors instead so sports fans can find out who the guilty party really is.

xpost, music geeks are the worst.

the worst geeks are the geeks that you aren't.

It's telling you to sample more. Just sample, people! SAMPLE IT!

I want to punch the guy directly above the "m".

He appears to be looking at Sammy Sosa, in right field, and screaming "Duuuuude!"

― Baked Bean Teeth (Baked Bean Teeth), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

or perhaps "Corky!"

just a friendly reminder of the continually evolving and engaging I Love Baseball forum.

My team is beyond hope, all is heartbreak and ruin.

Is the guy right underneath the 'S' Michael Gross, a.k.a. the dad from Family Ties?

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Mark, was that supposed to explain things?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 11 December 2003 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

N., long story short: the Cubs have had the "curse of the billy goat" put on them by Sam Sianis, owner of the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago, since was denied admission to the Cubs' ballpark for his goat. This was back in the '50s I believe. Fast forward to 2003: Cubs are up 3-1 in the 8th inning, 5 outs away from going to the World Series, when the Steve Bartman incident happened.

The above horrible piece of tripe is "humorously" attempting to incorporate the goat curse into the events of October, 2003. But, more than anything, it's a terrible cash-in attempt with a target audience of probably zero.

Thank you, I think.
