Smarter than the Average Berra!

A quick sports note about a quotable quoter: Yogi Berra, famed catcher and baseball manager (and legendary mangler of English) was born today 84 years ago. He is the renown inventor of Yogiisms, which have to be read to be understood. Brilliant work, man. Daria loves you!

Interesting, I just noticed that Trent is wearing Lawndale High School colors. Wonder if he finally got a job working for Ms. Li.

It Ain't Over Till It's Over

Given Daria's appreciation for a clever turn of phrase, it is appropriate to celebrate the 83rd birthday today of Baseball Hall of Fame great Yogi Berra of the New York Yankees, whose Yogiisms have entered the English language and immortality. You've almost certainly heard some of Mr. Berra's malapropisms, but it's great to go down the list and find some new ones.

You might not know, however, that the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Yogi Bear was named for him, bringing us full circle to animation fandom again. Furthermore, Daria quotes Yogi Berra in Peter W. Guerin's "The Misery Senshi Neo-Zero Double Blitzkrieg Debacle," and Yogi Bear is mentioned in Patrick Moore's "Beavis, Daria, and Butt-head" and CAP's "Daria in Pink." Thank you, Yogi Berra!

There are a few other important historical notes for the day, but we'll get to them later when fanfic updates are done. Peace out, yo!
