well screw you too, south korea

Fair warning, 'ku believers -- I, The Haiku Master, am in the foulest of foul moods tonight! Why, you ask? Because South Korea has banned members of its Korea Baseball Organization from playing with cabbage on their heads (link goes to Reuters)!

Feeling Cool, Looking Cool: Doosan Bears Pitcher Park Myung-hwan Takes A Page From The Haiku Master's Playbook

Never before have I cared so much about an act of racial discrimination! Sure, the pitcher in this report was only wearing cabbage. But Mr., uh... Mr. Korean Leader Who Isn't Kim Jong-il would do well to remember that some of us can't take our cabbage off!

On a related note, however, putting iced cabbage on your head is indeed a fine method of beating the summer heat. Twenty minutes of chilling my noggin on a frozen block of H2O, and I'm cool as a cucumber all day long! Or cool as cabbage, as the case may be.

Okay for now; time for the Sultan of Syllables to whip off some angry letters to South Korea's president and the KBO's commissioner, whatever their names are. Racist bastards!

Best,
