The Curse of Colonel Sanders/Randy Bass

I hadn't heard of this before . . .

baseball and curses go so well together, don't they? I saw Randy Bass play as a Denver Bear waaaaay back in the day...

I like this comment about the colonel: "... although he was a nice man he could also be very strict and demanding," said Sumeo Yokakawa, a spokeswoman at the chain's Tokyo headquarters.

Is it just me or does this statement bring some unusual images to mind?

although he was a nice man he could also be very strict and demanding

When I first read the article I thought it was a funny line, but what exactly did you have in mind?
