Head of Rob Ford Lazily Placed on Body of Eddie Gaedel
I recently Photoshopped the head of Toronto mayor Rob Ford — who’s better known in proper circles as “Melvin Nosotros Good Times” — onto the body of famed baseball halfling Eddie Gaedel. I surveyed my work and thought it stupid.
But then David G. Temple, the handsome Muay Thai expert with wind-swept hair and a far-off look in his eye, posted some Photoshoppage of a pizza on top of Tropicana Field. Upon viewing Mr. Temple’s contributions, I thought, “My dumb work has been sanctioned.”
Here, then, is Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s head sloppily placed on Eddie Gaedel’s body:
At this point, the reader will note that, unlike Mr. Temple and his post, I can scarcely be bothered to construct a false meta-narrative around my lousy photo. For I am Dayn Perry, practitioner of lassitude.
In the interest of redemption, though, I leave you with one of the sky-scraping tweets of our century — one that carries with it the whiff of our baseball …
In Toronto news, Rob Ford is signing Bobbleheads while a judge watches crack video. This tweet is 100 percent true.

Handsome Dayn Perry can be found making love to the reader at CBSSports.com's Eye on Baseball. He is available for all your Twitter needs.
This is unrelated to my mayor’s heroics, but I would like to inform the notgraphs community that through the wonderful website “gizoogle,” they can access “basebizzle statistics n’ analysis” in a much more “OG” and therefore preferable fashion. http://www.gizoogle.net/xfer.php?link=http://www.fangraphs.com/&sa=U&ei=_M2DUuitDorY7AbU4oCIDA&ved=0CBkQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNFZHGDgpBKFukhaKNU2cinCeg2zjw

I like the translation of Pizza into Pizzy.
I was particularly fond of the translation of jimmy rollins into “jizzy rollins”
Jesus Christ. I thought it was spam, and then awesome happened:
“But then Dizzy G. Temple, tha thugged-out Muay Thai expert wit wind-swept afro n’ a gangbangin’ far-off look up in his wild lil’ fuckin eye…”
Also, as the resident Torontonian (outside of half your damn writing staff,) the bobbleheads are spectacular.
I lost it when I saw the tag Pimp instead of hero.
“I surveyed mah work n’ thought it fuckin wack.”
I’ve started reading fangraphs and mlb trade rumours strictly through gizoogle and my life has improved immeasurably
thank you, sir. that was brilliant
“Handsome Dayn Perry can be found gettin all up in dat ass ta tha reader at CBSSports.comz Eye on Baseball yo. Dude be available fo’ all yo’ Twizzle needs.”
Anyone else think Dayn should keep this new Bio from now on?
