Observation of the Moment
I just got a flyer from Radio "You've got questions, we've got cellphone plans" Shack. The back copy seemed to be a bit of rebranding gone amuck... "RadioShack presents the Apple iPod from HP!"

On a related note...anyone know how to stop the barage of those stupid supermarket flyers? I've decided my time is worth more than the stupid coupons' savings, and the things are so bulky...

History of the moment
I started googling about retired numbers for sports teams when I found The Baseball Hall of Fame's History of the Baseball Uniform...the timeline was pretty decent reading. But mostly, I love reading the names of defunct teams:

• The Knickerbocker Base Ball Club of New York
• The Cincinnati Red Stockings
• The Brooklyn Bridegrooms (aka Trolley-Dodgers)
• The Reading Red Roses
• The Boston Doves
• The Cuban Stars
• The Buffalo Blues
• The Seattle Pilots
  But my absolute favorite:
• The Boston Beaneaters

I love random teamnames, I already posted some fictional team logo design I messed around with when I was a kid. I almost want to rig up a big web compendium of all the teamns and logos I can get my hands on...
