What are some of your more tenuous claims to fame? My Dad appeared in an edition of Colemanballs after saying 'He died at the end of his life'.

I've held it in for long enough. "Colemanballs" is just snobs thinking that sports commentators shouldn't be allowed to use metaphors

Delighted to see they have Colemanballs in the USA...

these just now made me laugh just as much as they did a week ago.
