"Casey at the Bat" from The Book of Guys
"In the Ernest Thayer original, it's a tragedy when Casey strikes out, but of course that depends on which ballpark you're in. In my version, the game is not in Mudville, it's in Dustburg, and people are overjoyed. When I wrote this, the line about the pigeons made me laugh out loud, and I almost laughed out loud at the line about the crowd grabbing hold of the bumpers and rocking him to and fro. A cruel poem." -Garrison Keillor, from the introduction in The Keillor Reader

WATCH Garrison read "Casey at the Bat" aloud
As Garrison Keillor says, "Guys are in trouble these days. Years ago, manhood was an opportunity for achievement and now it is a problem to be overcome. Guys who once might have painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or composed Don Giovanni are now just trying to be Mr. O.K. All-Rite, the man who can bake a cherry pie, converse easily about intimate things, cry, be vulnerable, be passionate in a skillful way, and yet also be the guy who lifts them bales and totes that barge. Being all-rite is the wrong way to seend your life. Guys are meant to be lovers and artists and adventurers, meant to be noble and free-ranging, bold, prosperous, good-humored, audacious. So it's time for guys to free themselves from women, let women deal with their own lives, and stop feeling guilty. It's time for women to take over the world so that guys can do this."
These 21 tales about guys and their troubles and foibles will have you laughing whether you are a man or a woman so sit back and enjoy. Available as a book or as a book on tape (nominated for Best Spoken Word Audio).
"Keillor takes delicious swipes at the media, fad causes, political correctness and American tabloid culture as he convincingly sketches the precarious state of his fellow males, longing for the days when they could just be guys." - Publishers Weekly
I verified this morning that the bitcoins I had in my wallet had been hacked out of my wallet but with the help of Team Redeemed Hacker Pro, everything that was hacked had returned back to my wallet. I wish to spread the word that you can work with the Team Redeemed Hacker Pro (RHP) to get your money back from scammers or any hacking processing/situation. I lost $378,000 in Bitcoin as a result of being hacked, and my wallet and account were disabled due to this. Despite talking to the service line, I was unable to get my hacked funds back, which was an issue for me. I’m a happy woman to have all of my money back in my wallet and in my hands, thanks to the (RHP) team.

I fell for an address-poisoning scam and lost $422,000 worth of ARB tokens.
This is how I recovered my $422,000 worth of ARB tokens that were lost in a single transaction due to an Address-Poisoning Scam. My name is Montairo Harry. I’ve been involved in cryptocurrency for more than seven years, and I’ve never been careless or unsophisticated. However, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam when I was attempting to make a single transaction to my other wallet, and it required the assistance of CAPTAIN MICHAEL EXPERT SERVICE in order to successfully recover it.Even though CAPTAIN MICHAEL could see that the scammer had divided up the stolen ARB tokens among smaller wallets, it only took CAPTAIN MICHAEL EXPERT seventy-two hours to successfully recover all of the stolen tokens. This merely demonstrates how address spoofing and poisoning have become more prevalent, continuing to take advantage of traders’ carelessness during transactions. I strongly advise everyone to exercise greater caution and steer clear of these scammers. If you do require CAPTAIN MICHAEL’s services, you can easily get in touch with them using the following information: Email address: captainmichaelexpert@consultant.com

I was heartbroken and felt utterly betrayed when I discovered that the person I trusted on TikTok was a scammer. I had invested £48,800 in Bitcoin based on their advice, believing it was a sound investment and a way to build a connection. But when the truth came out, thanks to my son’s diligence, I realized I’d been deceived. The feeling of being duped and manipulated was overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn. That’s when I discovered Cyber Constable Intelligence. They stepped in and worked tirelessly to track down the scammer and recover my stolen funds. Their expertise in cryptocurrency forensics and blockchain analysis was invaluable. They kept me informed throughout the process, explaining every step and providing updates on their progress. Their exceptional support and guidance were a lifeline during a very difficult time. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I was able to recover my entire investment.
