I Do Like Mondays
Today is the twentieth anniversary of Chernobyl...
...but, on a happier note, it is the thirtieth anniversary (Sisyphus reminds us) of Rick Monday's immortal "Flag Grabbing" incident:
Powerline had a retrospective last year that goes over the incident - and its importance - fairly well. And - I'd forgotten about this - I wrote about it last year.

A lesson for all the young fans out there: make sure you soak your flag in lighter fluid *before* jumping out on the field.
