Fasolamatt’s afternoon links and RandBall Motel
Posted on March 27th, 2008 – 2:29 PMBy Michael Rand
First of all, we have to imagine Sassbottom created that image. If he did not, we must stay at the Hermann Motel sometime. Not so much because it has our name on it; we’re just suckers for clean sheets and free wi-fi. In any event, Fasolamatt has been hangin’ round the Internets this afternoon and has this to offer you:
Dan Shaughnessy reviews the BoSox Japan trip:
“Highlight of the trip, hands down, was EMC CEO Joe Tucci having a catch with Hideki Okajima at a fancy reception at the Sox’ New Otani Hotel headquarters Monday. While 2007 World Series clips were shown on a Green Monster-sized LED screen, assorted clients and dignitaries — most of them Japanese — feasted on sushi and fine wines. After a few speeches and interviews with Mike Lowell, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Terry Francona, a couple of fielding mitts were produced and Tucci lined up to play catch with the Sox’ second-most-famous Japanese hurler. Standing in front of the giant screen, Okajima softly tossed to Tucci, who was about 20 feet away. Tucci made the catch, and before you could say, “Nuke LaLoosh,” gunned a wild heater that sailed far high and wide of a sprawling Okajima and punctured the precious LED screen.”

Why do pennies still exist?
How about the University of North Dakota Spirited NoDakers?
Andrew Bogut pretends to have friends at the foul line. Awesome, really.
Plus, a classic.

Pennies excist to confuse teenage checkout girls.
If you want to confound a teenage checkout girl give her exact change
If I had to choose, I’d probably take the free wi-fi.
Sass - Is this one of those hotels that you pay for by the hour?
Pennies are for annoying people. For instance, have you ever gone to a fast food restaurant and paid for a $10 meal with 1000 pennies? Or sat front row at a “gentlemen’s club” and tipped with 100 pennies (good way to get thrown out quickly). Now that Packman Jones is going to get really poor really quick, it might be a good idea to make it rain with pennies for the time being.
I believe the respective proprietors — RandBall and Mr. Hermann — negotiated a per-quarter-hour rate.
Our boy Rand just doesn’t need that much time to make his point.
If you go to the Hermann Motel, I would still bring a black light. Maybe you can borrow Rick Kupchella’s.
I have always wanted to pay an annoying bill with only pennies.
Good news for the $2 bill guy: He’ll get way more than his $114 back when he sues the dumb[redacted]s at that store or the police department. You’d at least think law enforcement would know what $2 bills look like, yes?
It’s nice to see that the spirit of Ralph Englestad, and dressing up in offensive costumes at parties, lives on at UND. That arena donation really did its work well.

Still funny the next day.
