I was checking out what happened on this day in history this morning and learned that Hagar the Horrible, that great 'Viking businessman' was introduced to the world on this day in 1973. One of his best lines was to his daughter, Honi, when he heard she plucked her eyebrows and said, "When you pluck out one, four more come to the funeral...look at mine!" Needless to say, Honi went off greatly dismayed with the cry, "Mother...!"
Likewise, I heard on the radio that some fancy schmancy clothing company was going to carry an 'evening line' and a 'sports line' and wondered if lingerie would be considered an 'evening sports line.' Of course, that prompted me to think of Eve turning to Adam as she modeled her first 'skins line' after the Fall and asking, "Honey, does this outfit make me look fat?"
Then there was the item that in 1974, Mats Wermelin, a 13-year old in a Swedish youth basketball league scored all the points in his team's 272-0 victory. I wonder if he changed his name to 'Gunner' after that? Shouldn't a kid named 'Mats' be a wrestler?
