Ah, shaddup, Liz.

This may not mean much to the non-USians among us, but...the last year the Brooklyn Dodgers played the New York Yankees in the World Series (1956, I think - I was 9), I had a complete set of baseball cards for both teams. When the Series was over, I fastened the cards to my bicycle with clothespins and rode all over the neighborhood until they totally disintegrated. Those cards would probably have paid for my college education and my first car, with money left over.
