I’m a big fan of English stencil bomber and graffiti artist Banksy. So, naturally, I’m beyond stoked for this…

Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitcher Dock Ellis pitched a no-hitter on acid.

I’ve heard this story a million times, but always as MLB lore, never from an official of the league, never from a television sports historian, and never from another professional player. So I always thought that, despite the plausibility of the tale, there was a chance it was an urban legend.

But sure enough, it’s true, proven beyond doubt by No-Mas, which posted the animated version of the story, narrated by Ellis himself. Priceless…

The David Lee Roth “Runnin’ With The Devil” Soundboard is killer.

I’m gonna leave it open in a browser on my office computer, and whenever someone asks me a question, I’ll respond by clicking the appropriate Diamond Dave-ism:

Q: Hey Max, are you ready for that presentation on the new web app?
A: I’ll tell y’all aboudit!

Q: Hey Max, I noticed there’s a lot of office supplies in the back seat of your car, what’s up with that?
A: All I’ve got I had to steal…
Q: Don’t you think that stealing office supplies is wrong?
A: Least I don’t need to beg or borrow!

Q: Hey Max, would you be willing to pitch in on this special project?
A: I got no love…
Q: Are you sure?
A: …No love you’d call real!

Q: Are you sure this is the best strategy on this project?
A: Goddamnit baby you know I ain’t lyin’ to ya I’m only gonna tell ya one tiiiiiimahhhhhyeeeaaaahhhh!

Q: Hey Max, you live in Oakland, right?
A: Yes I’m livin’ in a place that kills!

Endless fun…
