Ken Sato, outfielder for the Yomiuri Giants, comes clean about giant spending habits!

In a recent interview, All-Star player Kenji Sato confessed to spending absurd amounts of money on grossly large sports memorabilia— mostly his own.

“I have a good, totally plausible reason for it,” Sato had plead, unconvincingly.

Sato bat an average of .420 last season, which puts him among the best. “It’s— ugh. Hm. Erm. It’s.” Unfortunately, he struck out severely in attempting to explain his spending habits.

“Don’t knock it ‘til you try it!” Sato swore, but then refused to give exact numbers in terms of pricing for those who may want to “try it”.

For the readers not in the know, a 15-foot recreation of Sato’s jersey recently went viral when commission details were leaked to the public. Our interviewer asked for a comment concerning the jersey, to which Sato is quoted to have said: “Well. I guess you can say I have a pretty big fan.”

Kara turned, her brow crinkling as she noticed a well-dressed woman heading her way. In a world of dirt and mud, the woman’s high-end loafers made little sense. “Can I help you?” Kara asked. “I’m hoping you can,” she said, holding out her hand. “My name is Lena Luthor.” “Luthor,” Kara said, her eyebrows raising as she took Lena’s hand. I didn’t know Lex’s sister was so pretty, she thought, fighting the odd skip of her heartbeat. “I guess you’ve paid attention to the news,” Lena said. “I would like to hire you.” “To do what?” Kara asked. “To be my jockey. I have a horse, and I want to win the Kentucky Derby.” “The Derby?” Kara sputtered. “You know I’m just a claims jockey, right?” “I do,” Lena said. “And, frankly, I barely know what that means. But I do understand statistics.” “... Statistics.”

Lena is on the verge of losing everything, and Kara is a jockey who has nothing.

The nose art reminds me of a pinup that hung in my poppy’s work area in my aunt's basement.

I'm planning a hot girl autumn and it will contain writing, editing, drawing, going to writing and dnd conventions, giving panels, celebrating my 40th birthday, but most of all it will start by a flight in a 1940 biplane.

Being that it's December 7th, today is a good day to talk about one of the first people to witness the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor - a civilian flight instructor who was taking a student on a practice flight. A Japanese pilot fired on the plane, and it was only the teacher's quick thinking that saved both of them from becoming casualties.

Her name was Cornelia Clark Fort, and she later went on to become a member of the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, a precursor to the Women's Air Service Pilots. She died in 1943 during a flight accident. You can read about her here, here, and here.
