    Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 50,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.
    This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
    The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.
    The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th, the original delivery date, and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

    This feels like a series where they will be in every game but come away with ughotz because of plays like the Crosby goal. They don’t have what it takes to get over the hump yet.

  101. Karl Hungus Avatar

    I once watched a feature on why Crosby is so good in tight spaces and allegedly it’s because he’s pigeon toed and can turn in a dime because of it. I have to imagine that shiftiness is a reason guys can’t lay him out

  102. EvMaybenextyearAgainriser Avatar

    Probably also because no one hits him, like he’s Gretzky.

  103. EvMaybenextyearAgainriser Avatar
