Guest post COW: Super Rookie’s $.42 Internet stamp
Posted on April 1st, 2008 – 2:57 PMBy Michael Rand
Super Rookie says he had a much better post in his head the other day; nonetheless, he guts it out and cobbles something together for your Interweb pleasure. He earned the floor with a solid week of commenting.
After the weather fiasco at the Twins home opener on Monday, I think the organization and the architects of the new stadium should start highlighting the Garbage Burner that is located right behind the 3rd Baseline. Sure, the smell is a little terrible, but I am sure they can come up with a way to heat up the seats on a really cold day. The last thing we want is to be forced to have our home openers in Milwaukee like the Cleveland Fasolamatts had to do last season.
On an unrelated note, I ran into Jon the other day at the airport. He was on his usual flight in from California (one hell of a commute) to go to work as Reusse’s lackey at the Strib office. What amazes me most about Jon is that his blog, TNABACG, is one of the better written ones out there. If you need to get caught up on local sports scores and analysis you should head over there (cc to Marthaler: I like Premium).
So, in short, this COW post isn’t really about anything, but then again, when are we really discussing anything of value, other than Stu’s huntdowns (please oh please do write about Basil McRae AND Shane Churla at the same time), and movie quotes from movies that Rand has on Betamax.

Since this cow post is about everything and nothing, I’ll throw this in the mix.
I think a team needs a new logo/mascot and it should involve this.
PS. I’ve met super rookie on numerous occasions and I’ve even gotten a 2nd interview to be the ring bearer in his wedding. My point is that he’s actually twice as cool as that picture makes him out to be. Which explains the sunglasses.
Inside-joke deciphering, for those not in the know: last year around this time, Super Rookie got confused and thought that I lived in Anaheim. (I do not.) Hence, the jokes about that daily California commute.
Also, I am humbled by this effusive praise. I would return the compliments, except I’m too obtuse to understand cycling, and consequently can’t figure out what he’s talking about half the time.
Super Rookie’s next media appearance will be this Saturday morning when he, Bel, and Bobby will be taking phone calls on how you should tend your garden this spring. HINT: keep those bulbs warm!
(Inside joke: Super Rookie appears in many, many media outlets.)
Including “Bicycling Now”
You’d think they’d have chosen a better picture.
By the way, whoever’s meeting up with the Sooze this evening, give my regards and stay classy. I’ll be doing laundry and making Sloppy Joes, so don’t envy me too much, jerks.
Stu - I dare you to come up with a better picture.
I am available to sign copies of that magazine if any of you would like. Oh, I didn’t think the editor would allow my, “please do basic and churla at the same time…” but it was worth the try.
Thanks for putting up with the nonsense in the post.
S.U.: I do requests, so I’ll do my best. Sadly, the internet has a shortage of information on obscure goons, which is why the Willi Plett Hunt Down just isn’t happening. I think the Canadian intarnets are clogged by delicious maple syrup.
Roughkat: I thought the spread that City Pages did on him had better lighting.
Super Rookie, King of All Media.
