Delmon Young’s Fat Pricier Than Gold, Caviar

January 25, 2013 By LibertyBoy 9 Comments

In yet another clear sign of the ridiculousness of MLB’s Selig-o-nomics, the Phillies will pay Delmon Young $60,000 for each pound of fat he succeeds in passing from his body, or $600,000 for a single ten-pound chunk of belly butter.

To put this in its proper perspective, I threw together this handy price list of (more or less) comparable expenses:

Fat, Delmon Young, 10lbs total: $600,000

Rhino horn: $498,957/lb

Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman, daily consultancy fee: $120,000/day

Cocaine: $97,523/lb

Fat, Delmon Young: $60,000/lb

Single-walled carbon nanotubes, research-grade: $56,700/lb

Methamphetamine: $45,360/lb

External beam treatment for colo-rectal cancer: $24,204/year

Gold bullion, .999 pure: $1,650/troy oz or $19,800/lb

Beluga caviar, Iranian Almas: $15,000/lb

Arable land, Iowa, average 2012: $8,296/acre

Average cost of vaginal childbirth, no complications, 2004: $7,734/child

White truffles, Italian: $4,200/lb …

…you get the point.

  4. Gotta be careful what I wish for Babe – now I might have to watch YoukaPISS at third the whole year. At least with A-DICK I could catch a shot of the hot chicks he”s blowing kisses to in the stands

  5. SAN FRAN MAYOR ASKS BARS TO LIMIT ALCOHOL SERVING ON SUPER SUNDAY

    ******************************************************************

    Mayor Ed Lee remembers all too clearly the violence that erupted last year after the San Francisco Giants won the World Series. He’s asking the city’s bartenders to serve less alcohol during the 49ers’ Feb. 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

  9. A Guy walks up to a beautifal woman in a bar and says,
    “You remind me of my little toe”
    She replies, “What? You Mean I’m small and cute?”
    He says, “No. I’ll probably bang you on the coffee table
    later when I’m drunk….”

    THANKS SUPE!!!!
