"On Oct.15 the Saginaw Spirit spanks the Frontenacs 8-1 at the Memorial Centre. The debacle catches the eye of Stephen Colbert, satirical host of a program on the U.S. cable network Comedy Central. Colbert quips that he doesn’t know what a Frontenac is, 'but I think it's French for bend over and take it.' The Frontenacs become a whipping boy for Colbert, who later chastizes the pedestrian selection of souvenirs offered on the Saginaw website by calling the Spirit 'the Kingston Frontenacs of merchandising.' "
Hey, this is what keeps one coming back to the Frontenacs, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Raptors, the Minnesota Vikings and all the other teams in one's life that are year-in year-out disappointing (that includes you, Blue Jays -- both those World Series never should have gone six games). When -- not if -- they finally do win, it's going to be like the final scene of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, with everyone spontaneously breaking into song and dance.
