Let there be a grand clubhouse feast!

Kenny Mayne is one of the regular anchors for ESPN SportsCenter and for some reason I find this particular home run call hilarious:

I am king of the diamond! Let there be a grand clubhouse feast! [WAV] Bring me the finest meats and cheeses throughout the land!
— From The SportsCenter Altar multimedia download center.

Here’s a whimisical interview where he explains where he got that from [RealAudio]. Another one I like for its understatedness:

<Football player> has decided to tackle people on behalf of the <NFL team>. Terms of the contract are not disclosed, but we believe it has something to do with money.

Actually, I enjoyed just reading through a collection of phrases used by the SportsCenter anchors.

Almost makes me want to watch television.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
