We find it hard to believe in curses, but then we run into things like the Curse of the Billy Goat and it makes us wonder. On Saturday, Oct. 6, 1945 during the 4th game of the World Series the Chicago Cubs were hosting the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley Field and leading the series 2-1. In attendance was the owner of the local Billy Goat Tavern, Billy Sianis, and with him his pet goat (Insert bestiality joke here). Not to ask the obvious, but what was this guy thinking? We’ve all seen the animal documentaries Looney Tunes. Goats will eat anything and everything around them. Sianis was asked to leave, but before he did he cursed the Cubs in a fit of rage declaring, “Them Cubs, they aren’t gonna win no more.” The Cubs have never been to a World Series since.
What if the other curses in recent history have some validity? The Curse of Tutankhamen, the Curse of the Hope Diamond, the Curse of Superman, the Kennedy Curse, the 27 Club, or the Curse of Musicians Trying to Act. That’s right, we’re calling you out JT. We know you’re talented. As a matter of fact, we’d even say that you remind us of a young Michael Jackson, only blacker. Just please quit while you’re ahead.
