Tamiflu is 999 parts sterilised water...

for every one part dehydrated Manny skin flake.

It is regretful that Manny Ramirez was not asked to help sooner,

as he is an world renown negotiator with bondholders in pre-bankruptcy situations.





However, his extensive collection of '82-85 Chrysler Fifth Avenues prevented him from being an objective arbiter of the dispute.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez originally required a uniform change before moving to the dodgers?


It was, sadly, not approved.

Okay. This is getting silly.

Manny Ramirez did not, repeat, did not reverse engineer hybrid technology and sell the results to General Motors.

He did, on the other hand, create a more efficient lithium battery using coffee grounds and cat sweat.

When asked, Manny Ramirez will demur from naming his favourite band.

But if you really press him, he will sing the entirety of sides A and C of the Andrew WK album "Close Calls with Brick Walls", the vinyl-only album available almost exclusively in Japan. He is able to replicate perfectly the sounds of all the instruments simultaneously, but strangely does not try and replicate Mr. WK's trademark haunting yell. Instead, he effects the comical but perhaps offensive Eye-talian accent of Joe Pesci's character from My Cousin Vinny.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez was a key witness in the prosecution of Brigitte Mohnhaupt?

Their relationship is one of Manny's biggest regrets, but he contributes 2% of his salary to victim's funds in an attempt to assuage his guilt.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez and Albert Pujols used to solve crimes in Baltimore?

They had a falling out over, what else, the love of a good woman.

Manny is a sucker for redheads.

Did you know that every time Manny Ramirez adjusts his crotch, a small indonesian villiage is spared destruction by huricane?

Truth is a viscous, oily thing, that stains hands that strain but cannot hold it.

To those who question the facts on this blog, now for a certain fact that congealed truth flows through Manny Ramirez's veins and I know because I WAS THERE!!!

Because this is a family oriented blog

I will not be discussing what Manny Ramirez's milkshake will bring to the yard.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez was also a finalist on "Britian's Got Talent"?

He and his specially trained circus cats came in second place to a pair of throat singing twins from Huddersfield.

There ain't no party like a Manny Ramirez Party.

This fact has been confirmed by the Harvard Medical Journal. Participants in a Manny Ramirez party experience dialated eyes, increased heart rate, and a system wide increase of dopamine that far exceeds those of the average party.

Including Andrew WK Parties.

We should be careful when discussing the period of 1993 - 1995 in Manny Ramirez's life.

His role in producing Lush's hit single "Ladykiller" is well known.

His victory over Vladimir Putin in an arm wrestling contest is not.

To this day, both Miki Berenyi and Anatoly Sobchak have offers out on Manny's life.

The incontrovertible fact that Manny Ramirez doesn't appear to cast a shadow...

presents an interesting dilemma for physicists. It would be seem clear that he is not transparent (thus allowing light to pass through him and casting no shadow) because he is visible to the human eye (and would thus seem to be reflecting light back to a viewer's eye). And yet, all evidence would suggest that no shadow follows him.

MIT scientists finally solved this controversial and puzzling issue in 1997 with the discovery that he is in fact largely transparent but, like the star he is, Manny actually produces his own light from with by a process similar (though not identical) to solar fusion. Although the actual mechanism remains theoretical (and could provide the basis for a new unified field theory), normal light passes through Manny with perfect efficiency, thereby eliminating shadows. Our ability to see Manny is therefore not due to reflected light, but rather is a projection of his innate luminosity.

Strangely, Manny's transparency does not extend throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum, as advanced imaging equipment has shown that he actually absorbs gamma and cosmic rays. This results in a very peculiar shadow, albeit one that cannot be seen by humans. Which only raises more questions, particularly who the audience for the extremely exclusive shadow-puppet soirees Manny has been often accused of hosting within his ominous skull-shaped castle deep within rural Oregon, the so-called Hacienda del DOOOOOOM.

Did you know that, despite his reputation for a temper, Manny Ramirez has never uttered a four letter word?

Actually, any four letter words.

He calls home plate "Cleveland".

You can see him mouth "I'm going all the way to Cleveland" on third quite frequently.

Manny Ramirez's political beliefs are often opaque and nuanced.

For instance, during the Prop 8 debates, Manny refused to endorse either side and instead tried to gather signatures for a proposition he had drafted that would have forced all adults to join in matrimonial groups of five of either gender, selected personally and by supercomputers of his design. These "star-marriages", Manny contended, was the only social configuration guaranteed to bring about a "Seventh World" of peace, plenty and sexy misunderstandings that would ensure the future of humanity.

Although Manny easily obtained the necessary signatures, at the last moment he pulled the proposition from the ballots declaring: "They just ain't ready, baby."

OK SHIT, THIS IS AN EMERGENCY

A POST I WROTE SAYING THAT MANNY RAMIREZ WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE A SECRET CANADIAN SPY WAS DELETED.

APPARENTLY I HIT A LITTLE CLOSE TO HOME!

Did you know that Manny Ramirez does not actually bleed Dodger Blue?

A functional circulatory system would be a precursor for bleeding a specific color.

A letter from a reader inquired whether Manny Ramirez has contacted us about this blog

Well, GoldFoLezz from Trenton, I'm sorry, but even if one of the great marble blocks that Manny Ramirez carves all of his correspondence on (with his fingernails) was delivered - as per his custom - by a lavender hearse bearing cleverly designed robot messengers to the Manny Fuckin' Ramirez FACT-ory (our home base in the South Sea), it would be a severe breach of etiquette to tell fucking readers about it.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez and Russell Martin always share a room during away games?

one king size bed.

Russell is the small spoon.

Did you know that there is a life size statue of Manny Ramirez in the Kaaba?

It is carved out of obsidian from Wyoming.

Manny Ramirez was not at the Yalta Conference, of course,

as he was busy gathering the components of matter and energy throughout the span of time and space in order to accumulate it into the mortal shell he would inhabit in the late 20th/early 21st centuries.

That being said, he was the last thing that Josef Stalin saw before dying.

Did you know that the gold statue in the beginning of Raiders Of The Lost Ark is a carving of Manny Ramirez in soap?



painted gold, of course.

Did you know that Manny Ramirez did not kiss a girl until age 17?

He found emotional sustenance in the works of Proust.

We have all these myths and legends, and cauterise our lives with television and movies...

but we ignore a real hero who walks among us even today.

Manny "Rex" Ramirez has lived a life that spurns the petty fictions of fantasy. He has:

  • broken into Kim Jong Il's extensive and beloved DVD collection and liberated Il's ill-gotten copy of Jerry McGuire for America.
  • midwifed the reborn Jesus Christ and got the quickly-to-age messiah a supervisor job at McDick's.
  • routinely delighted fans by crushing diamonds into convenient-to-burn coal.
  • AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

His dreadlocks have a calming effect on puppies before they are put down.

Did you know that Manny wrote a Tony Award winning play about being retarded in America?

Manny Ramirez won the 1999 Indianapolis 500

Manny Ramirez is one of the most misunderstood men of our times; a victim of a culture of superficiality and prejudice, in the minds of most folks he is a simple boy-child awash on the shores of the harsh adult world of Major League Baseball.

AND YET:

  • He was the lead designer of the F-22 Raptor, the guaranteer of America's air superiourity for decades to come.
  • He has set foot on all six continents and spent two years as a Russian-Orthodox priest on King George Island off the coast of Antarctica.
  • Played the marimba on Tito Puente's 2002 album, Hot Timbales!.
  • AND MORE!!!
