As many of you know, our local 9, the Phillies, will soon be "celebrating" a dubious achievement, being the first franchise to successfully drop 10,000 games.

But what many of you might not have know is that one of our favorite friends will likely be celebrating a similar dubious achievement most likely sooner than later.
Our boy the Cook, aka Ace Smallcock, will likely suck down his 40,000th heater in illustrious career of smoking that THOD estimates began sometime around the college-freshman age of 18 coupled with an insurmountable amount of fountain soda (sans diet coke) and McDonald #1's -supersized of course.
For you numbers geeks out there, (Fan McHarold) heres how THOD has come to this calculation. Cookie has been smoking approximately 3,630 a year for the past 11 years. (That comes to a little less than half a pack a day - we know - THOD's being generous on this estimation)
Cook: "Buddy, I don't smoke that much, I do about a, two on the way to work, two at lunch, two on the way home from work, three at night"
3,630 heaters * 11 years = 39,930 spectacular sticks of smoke.
That means that sometime over the next week Cookie will hit that magic number of 40,000. THOD thought it would be fitting and is counting on it mirroring another special day, Friday the 13th (7/13/07).
So as you raise your heater with your Miller Light or Crown and Coke next weekend, pull an extra puff for Ace Smallcock. He's smoked more than a Pine Barrens forest fire disaster.
Congratulations Cook!
