Remember Cabbage Patch Kids ? Well, get ready to catch 'Cabbage Pitch' Kids! This is bound to go over better than my 'Good-Bye Kitty' idea.
I decided to start practicing translating Korean into English today by using the Dong-A Ilbo's English news site. They offer most of the articles in Korean text, so I am going to choose one article a week to work on.
Anyhoo, the article I chose was 'Park Myung-hwan's Controversial "Cabbage Pitch".
Putting aside the fact that I'm having a lot of trouble with the translation so far, the story is hilarious. A pitcher in the Korean pro leagues decided that the best way to keep cool during the game was to put a cabbage leaf under his cap.
Trouble, is his cap fell off a couple times, revealing the cabbage. That is against rule article 8.02(b) stipulating: “a pitcher is immediately ejected from the game if he wears or carries a foreign substance”, but the officials did nothing about the cabbage.
Today's forecast was for partly sunny skies, a high temp of 28C (81F), and a 10% chance of precipitation. The reality was: no clouds, no rain, and, according to my school's principal, 31.6C (87 F). Humidity was way too high for comfort.
If there had been a cabbage leaf anywhere in the vicinity, I would have plopped it on my head in a heartbeat.
Hello busanite...

Hello yourself, fellow busanite. I've been wondering for quite some time your real identity. I have the feeling that we've met.
Anyhoo, thanks for stopping by.
