We often refer to the foolishness around the AMI offices as "ridicularity." The things we do, say, write and support are often so ridiculous that there is little else that can be said.
Kind of like when Edwin R. Murrow asked Liberace on live television about his love life with the ladies, or when we see tabloid reports that Ryan Seacrest is dating.....a woman. Ridicularity.
This week we are graced with "testicularity ridicularity," as there is a report coming out of the Spring Training camp of the vaunted Chicago Cubs - the greatest baseball organization in the history of the sport - citing that promising young center fielder Felix Pie (pronounced Pee-Ay) has a "twisted testicle." Ridicularity.
This unusual penile predicament has led sports blog Fan IQ to muse about the top weird sports injuries, and that is all well and good. We also recognize that any injury to this sensitive area can be a pained experience. So we at the AMI solute Pie's scrotal stupidity - and the ridicularity of it all - in haiku:
Felix Pie hurts;
Twisting his so sacred sack;
He must have said OUCH.
Ridicularity.

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more.
Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing.
On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
“I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.”
Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch.
Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita.
As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita."
Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
