"Colemanballs: The art of letting the words come out before the brain is engaged, made famous by David Coleman but with very able disciples in Kevin Keegan, Bobby Robson, Ron Atkinson, Terry Venables....in fact it seems endemic amongst the football fraternity."

Ever had this happen? My shower door just suddenly exploded out of the blue.

We weren't even using the shower, nor had we suddenly heated the house up from near freezing or anything.

I was nearby, errm, reading, when suddenly, and totally without warning, the shower door next to me exploded with a huge bang in a very bowel evacuation-inducing fashion.

I haven't heard about any earthquakes (we're in the PNW) or tremors recently. Maybe the house just settled or else it's evil spirits.

It's safety glass so it didn't take my head off or anything inconvenient like that, but there are some tiny bits of glass on the floor now and in the tub.

Time to buy a Shop-Vac and call in an exorcist.

About Ron Obvious

I got the nickname Ron Obvious because -- in addition to being a huge Python fan -- my name really is Ron and I used to start sentences with \"Obviously\" a lot. Obviously, that\'s no longer a problem.
