ZZZZZZ....
Editor's note: Following a night of margaritas for Cronkette's birthday, followed *directly* by an overnight flight back to Chi-town from LA, followed (almost) directly by a Monday seminar...Dickie's pretty wrecked. So we're not going to push him for any substantial submissions today. We thought he might bite since there's homework that warrants procrastination, but no - simply too tired.
Plus, in his current state of semi-delirium, he could easily make some tasteless joke linking the purely-coincidental demise of the Dodgers and Superman within a 24-hour period. And we wouldn't want that.
(PS: Why does CNN always use that campy cursive for the images on their obits? Who's the authority who sat down at a meeting and said, 'This is how you do it for any and all dead celebrities'? And would it be asking too much to be momentarily transformed into the fly on the wall during that meeting? We, um, the Editors, were just curious...)
Dickie did submit a brief statement through his publicist, however. He said while it was heartbreaking to watch his beloved Dodger Blue's run come to an end, he takes comfort that he could be at home, among his family and the people he loves and cherishes the most, to cope with the loss. He thanks you all in advance for not infringing on his family's privacy during this time of great mourning. God bless.
Dickie also wanted to send along the helpful pointer to always be *EXTRA CAREFUL* and *CHECK* that you have all your personal carry-on items with you when deplaning *AFTER A REDEYE FLIGHT.* Especially when you're from Los Angeles, and not accustomed to carrying something like, oh, say, an umbrella with you.
This extra care will mercifully avoid having to wait next to the security check-in - the same check-in by total coincidence where you saw a world religion leader only three days earlier - for 20 minutes at six o'clock in the morning (4AM LA time), while simultaneously waiting for the recovery of said umbrella and suffering through the effects of tequila, that most-evil of all spirits.
Dickie said he "could not stress enough how important this is."
