True. When he was traveling, Babe Ruth used to entertain girls in his hotel rooms. He'd...have his way with the girl, then go out into the living room area of the hotel room and smoke a cigar. When he finished the cigar, he'd go back into the bedroom and repeat the process. His roommate would sleep at night, wake up the next morning, and find a huge pile of cigars in the ash tray.
The moral of this story? You really can't smoke a cigar while engaged in sporting activity, even if you are Babe Ruth. That, and Babe Ruth died of throat cancer (h/t Steven Goldman).
Also, hasn't it been, like, forever since SC came out? I have very clear memories of discussing this awesome new game from Blizzard that was going to come out with my friend while riding the bus in eight grade (flying buildings!). I used to play SC games in my high school's computer lab, until the powers that be finally got wise and put the kibosh on that. Since SC came out, I've worked my first (and, what, tenth?) job, earned a high school and college diploma, spent three years in the working world...I mean holy crap it's been a while.
They better make it worth the wait.
