Not making any accusations, but I curiously have <em>Love Will Tear Us Apart</em> by Joy Division swirling in my head while I ponder this. Just sayin&#8230;</p>

<p>A note to serious bidders (always wondered about how you place a non-serious, very jesting bid on one of these high priced item), he&#8217;ll also send you some of the add&#8217;l 130 photos from his collection not contained in the books.</p>
<p>Not swim fan enough for you yet?</p>
<p>The prized piece of the collection (of <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/8-LEBRON-JAMES-SCRAPBOOKS-VERY-UNIQUE-4-YEAR-COLLECTION_W0QQitemZ110404575296QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_SM_Fan_Shop?hash=item19b4a02040&amp;_trksid=p3286.c0.m14">over 500 laminated sheets contained in eight books!</a>) &#8211; Scrapbook #1: email sent to the Akron Beacon-Journal while Lebron was in High School asking why they weren&#8217;t covering Lebron more &#8211; it just got weird.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t even know Briny Baird, son of Butch Baird, but what a guy! He won the whole damn Country P.F. Changs!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.steadyburn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brinybaird.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1270" title="brinybaird" src="http://www.steadyburn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brinybaird-300x183.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="183" /></a></p>
<p>Yesterday, while a whole lot of you were sitting at work dreaming about P.F. Chang&#8217;s chicken lettuce wraps, B.B. was atop the Omni Hotel in San Diego staring down at a make-shift bullseye set-up in right field of Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.steadyburn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brinybaird1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1271" title="brinybaird1" src="http://www.steadyburn.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brinybaird1-300x189.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="189" /></a></p>
<p>The task at hand, take ten shots from the 300+ foot elevated tee. If a single one landed in the center of the bullseye, every man and woman alive in America would receive a free P.F. Chang wrap (the kicker: you have to buy a damn entree. RATS!) Additionally, for every bullseye P.F. Chang&#8217;s donated $2,000 to the San Diego Navy/ Marine Corps Relief Society ($1,000 and $500 for the outer rings).</p>
<blockquote><p>Now this was an elevated tee. It sat Monday on the roof of the Omni San Diego Hotel, 34 floors – 340 feet or thereabouts – above L Street, 268 yards to a flag stabbed into Petco Park&#8217;s right field turf and surrounded by a large bull&#8217;s-eye. Tough hole, but maybe the most picturesque in the history of golf.</p>
<p>Little wind, but always a threat of tricky gusts. No trees. Possible nosebleed. The only rough was the shot itself. Not since Alan Shepard sliced a few on the moon had we seen anything like it. A David Letterman stunt, perhaps. (<a href="http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/may/18/18canepa165517/">SignOnSanDiego.com</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Briny put two in the center, and 8 of 10 in the scoring area &#8211; raising $17,500, which Chang&#8217;s upped to $25 large. Novel charity work by all (we all lost interest in the chicken lettuce wraps after hearing the damn entree kicker).</p>
