Last Thanksgiving, we sponsored the Annual Paul Blank Invitational Flag Football Game which raises money for the Foundation for Fighting Blindness and the Association for Safe International Road Travel.

As a sponsor of the game, and an alumn of the Charles E Smith Jewish Day School, I was invited to play in this year's epic match. We handed out the shirts to start the Battle Royale and the players were impressed with the quality of the shirts--only to be outshined by the quality of play by the gold team. A little tidbit of history: I was the captain of the Gold team for JDS in 11th Grade.

The pictures below reflect the intensity of the game and the skills needed to compete in this annual gridiron. Here, Elliot Totah shows off his lightning speed and cat like reflexes. The blue team mustering up some much needed Ruach for the second half.
And Dan Fulop showing off the monkey on his back:

The employees of Crooked Monkey all know that funny t shirts are a lucrative career choice, but it turns out that we aren't the only ones who have caught on! Aaron Fishbein, a senior at Franklin High School, (and, more importantly, a Crooked Monkey funny t-shirt devotee) decided that the name Crooked Monkey had such great karma he wanted to use it himself. He named his stock market team in Econ class the (what else?) Crooked Monkeys! Hopefully the name will bring Aaron lots of make believe money and an A in the course. Maybe by the end of the stock quarter, he'll be so rich that he can Make it Rain! Or buy his girlfriend a nice gift (after all, we know that Classy Girls Deserve Pearls).
