That’s still a thing, isn’t it?

20 Of The Greatest Flash Mobs Ever Conducted - If I was God, the first thing I’d get rid of would be airplane turbulence. My second act would be to make the Reverse Flash real, so he could put his fingers in the brains of Improv Everywhere and vibrate them until they died. [Uproxx]

Cupcake Orgy: The Definitive Collection Of Elaborately Themed Cupcakes - The weird iris cupcake was my favorite part of Bridesmaids. I also like that “making desserts” has replaced “being a magazine reporter” as the default romantic comedy job for women. [Uproxx]

Who Is Karin Catherine Waldegrave? - And while we’re at it, who is Paula Schultz? [Uproxx]

A FilmDrunk Exclusive: Trailer for The Facts of Life XXX - I wanted this trailer to be so much more. I wanted the mentally handicapped girl to show up, or at least Tootie’s pre-Crisis roller skates. I think I might know too much about The Facts of Life to be a heterosexual adult human male. [Film Drunk]

Today I start trying to convince you to read about baseball cards. Look at poor Steve Carlton up there. It’s like he’s saying “come on, I’m only 43, don’t make me pitch for the 1987 Cleveland Indians! They have wood paneling!” They finished 40 games under .500 that year and finished 7th in the AL East, back when the division had six teams. Steve Carlton won the World Series, twice! All Cory Snyder ever won was that skills competition where you stand in the outfield and try to throw the ball at a big target.

I think ’87 Topps (and Topps Traded) baseball cards are more important to me than family photos. I mean, I can’t name more than 1% of my second cousins, but I can tell you everything Greg Swindell was doing in his picture (wearing a jacket, smirking).

Number 5 Type Collection - It’s pretty easy to get obsessed with baseball card blogs, especially when they deal from the entirety of the game before your birth. As much as I love sports history, most pre-1980s baseball records are just numbers or Roberto Clemente running around with Santana playing in the background. [Number 5 Type Collection]

1 in 12 Baseball and Football Fans Are Drunk When Leaving Games - If you’ve ever driven around in a parking lot after a game, you know this is true. Also, if you’ve ever stood up and turned around during a game, or gone to the bathroom during a game and looked in the mirror. TRIBE TIME WOOOOOOOOO [BroBible]
