The Mind: It Is Blown
Regular readers around here know of my (embarrassing) devotion to Fire Joe Morgan. I’ve written about their work several times, and even named them a collective Baseball Boyfriend of the Day for their hilarious ripping to shreds of shitty arguments baseball writers use to support their Cooperstown nominations. I have yet to read a post over there that didn’t cause me to nearly pee my pants with laughter- and I am not exaggerating there. The fact that the guys who write FJM are all Red Sox fans just made them that much cooler.
Up until now, though, the writers have all been completely anonymous. No one knew who they were or where they were or what they did.
But now, consider my mind officially blown because they revealed their identities this week… and Ken Tremendous, FJM writer extraordinaire (and Sox fan), is Mose from The Office. That’s right, the writer behind my favorite blog is a the co-executive producer and writer on my favorite show on television.
It’s like the universe suddenly all seems to make sense. Of course my favorite blog and my favorite TV show and my favorite team are all connected. Of course!
Seriously- if my previous proselytizing hasn’t gotten you over to read FJM before now, I’m making one last empassioned plea: You must read Fire Joe Morgan. If you are a baseball fan, you need FJM like the desert needs the rain. Trust me on this.
Well now we now how they kept themselves busy during the strike.
Schur is a Connecticut boy, grew up in the town next to where I grew up. Who knew there was more awesomeness in CT besides me. :D
And better yet, he’s the son-in-law of Regis Philbin.
The pieces all fall into place…
The Office is awesome! how can you not love it? Mose is hilarious, I learned from Dwight that the eyes are the groin of the head and John Krasinski and BJ Novak are from MA/Red Sox fans…now we have a third Sox fan in the crew of the Office! Awesome!
Also, I checked out firejoemorgan and almost peed myself reading the post about “superbike racing”. That is as far as I got before I felt I needed to thank you for opening my world up to this great new site.
No wonder it’s such a hilarious blog. Consider my mind blown as well; I feel like the world should be destroyed now, like when all the pieces finally fell into place in “Mostly Harmless”. I’m a new Office fan but I love it a lot. Ooh! It’s on tonight!
I was floored when I saw that. Absolutely floored. It does sort of make sense when you read it now because it does have that Office quirkiness to it in its writing.
Good stuff
He’s married to Jennifer Philbin? Cool! I went to school with Joanna Philbin. So now the blog turns out to be written by the relative of a former classmate? WEIRD.
