Ask Me Anything, Just Make Sure It Ain't Stupid

Dear Mr. Mung: Haven't heard from you in some time. What have you been up to?
Steve D., Ft. Wayne, IN

Mung: Thanks for asking, Steve. Been up to lots, by my standards anyway. Started my fantasy football league for one. Also got to fixin' up my boat - the bottom's pretty wore out and I got to use that rubber stuff in the spray can advertised on late night tv - works pretty good! And lastly, my sister had her fifth kid. Named her Doreen. Nine pounds and seven ounces of pure bouncin' fun.

Hey Mung: Which team do you think was the biggest bust in baseball?
Nevin I., Wilmington, NC

Mung: I don't think there's any team I can think of who I think came up smelling worse than a bar rag than the Florida Marlins. Man, I went to the game the other day when they played the Reds and there must've been no more than 200 butts in the seats. The good part of that was I had plenty of beer for myself. But no wonder, they've had more ups and downs this year than Chang at Six Flags in Kentucky. Firstly, they got hot, then they lost almost all their games in June, fired their manager and rehired 80-year-old Captain Jack and got over .500. Then good 'ol Jack's magic wore off and now they're fixin' to finish August with chances worse than a Middle East dictator!
