Dan Shaughnessy

If the world ends, here’s what we’re losing

Farewell. Adieu. It’s been an honor and a pleasure to write a sports column for the Boston Globe for the last 23 years.

But this is it. Today is the last one. You won’t have Nixon or me to kick around anymore. This is my last column because according to the Mayan calendar, today is the last day in the history of the world.

Great punch line, Dan...you've been waiting for months to use that, haven't you?

*Shagnasty's crap won't appear in the Globe again

*Downer Dan goes down for (thankfully) the last time

*Drinkin' Dan will never buy a round at The Baseball Tavern

*Yada, yada, yada

If the prophecy does prevail, then thank the Lord that Curly Shaughnessy will never write another sophomoric, cynical, manipulative word for The Globe.

Too easy.  It's supposed to be the end of the world, not a day off.

If it's so easy, my10sense, you try doing it three times a week.

I was referring to this column--and yeah, I could have written this one.

You scared me there for a little while, Dan, I thought we were losing you to retirement!
