Positions are open for all sports, and you can even write for the News Board whenever and as much as you want. Typing with one finger is the only preliminary requirement, but we'll teach you how to hob-nob with the greatest sports figures of our times--Floyd Wilson, John Yovicsin, Wild Bill McCurdy, Edo, Yaz, Bobby and Satch...
...however, the English marched north under Edward II to make an end of the wild laird they called "King Hob"-the royal yokel. The armies met at Bannockburn, a village before Stirling Castle. In the opening skirmish, King Robert was caught alone in an open strath, by an English knight who leveled his lance and charged in for the kill.

The lie and its anticipated consequence, a slight but noticeable and sometimes crucial lifting of the hob-nailed boot from a black neck, formed a principle of existence for a whole lot of people long before the Fathers signed their ambiguous document and still does.
