Lil Pearl

As there's no chance in hell I'm outliving his parents, I've always assumed my main job as Lil Bear's Godfather is to make sure he doesn't play soccer when he gets older. But then last night I was watching Black Magic for the third time and I caught something I never had before, that Earl the Pearl was a soccer star in high school. A dilemma: good enough for Black Jesus, but not Lil bear? Really? Shouldn't I welcome Lil Bear playing soccer if The Pearl once played it?

Answer: of course not!!!!!! But boy, I really had to work it out in my head for a long while last night. Being the Godfather isn't all popsicles and Hormel toothpaste, you know.
