[vent] What a lovely day....
 
#11
Ah, yes. Can't remember what movie had Mailbox Baseball... was it Grease? But shortly afterwards, my Grandfather created the ultimate "fastball strikeout" for it. Even if it took two mailboxes to do it:

An old "Parcel-size" mailbox and a standard "post-size" mailbox, nested, with the space between them filled with concrete.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
