I'll celebrate almost anything... except "white chocolate" month.
Where I come from, there's another name for white chocolate: Vanilla. Pass! (And why is it I find out it's Jazz month near the end of September?!?) |

Sorry. I reported it as soon as I found out. Guess you'll just have to "jazz it up" a little to make up for the time you've lost. Yes, I know . . . |

So, today is Long Count Day?
I thought maybe this had something to do with the Mayan calendar which uses something called the Long Count Calendar. Nope. That's not it at all. It's the anniversary of Sept. 22, 1927: Dempsey Loses in Long Count Jack Dempsey, the "Manassa Mauler," misses an opportunity to regain the heavyweight boxing title when he fails to return to a neutral corner after knocking down champ Gene Tunney in a title match in Chicago. Dempsey waited five precious seconds before heading to the neutral corner, at which point the referee began the 10-count as the rules dictated. As the referee reached nine seconds, Tunney got back up to his feet. He had actually been down for what amounted to 14 seconds. Tunney went on to win the bout in a decision after 10 rounds. |

I'm sure glad you explained that. I thought it had something to do with the Mayan calendar too, but that didn't really make sense.
My curiousity is finally satisfied. I don't know much about this fight stuff, but I bet Dempsey hustled to the neutral corner in every fight after that one. |
