Okay, that sort of worked. Now let’s see if a post that isn’t linked to LJ will work. I will try out the “more” thing again.

This is a test of my upgraded WordPress software. If it works, and if it posts to my Livejournal, I will be a happy camper.

Paragraph test!

Dunkin’ mints ’86 Mets coins but Sox fans get chump change

The 1986 World Series is a bad memory for die-hard Red Sox fans. But Massachusetts-based Dunkin’ Donuts is literally minting money off of it in New York.

The company, which has its headquarters in Canton, started selling commemorative coins celebrating the 20th anniversary of the New York Mets World Series win over the Sox at Dunkin’ Donuts stores in New York, New Jersey and parts of Connecticut two weeks ago.

The 1986 World Championship, while a sweet success for the Mets, was a bitter experience for Sox fans, who watched the series title start to roll away as the ball went between Bill Buckner’s legs.

The Mets promotion, which is still running, had some members of Red Sox Nation wondering yesterday if Dunkin’ Donuts would create a David Ortiz dime or even a Manny Ramirez nickel.

“When are they going to make 2004 ones,” asked Billy Neader, 51, of Florida, a Sox fan.

Gee, Billy, I don’t know. 2024????

I’m sure at least a few of you will have already seen this, but for the sake of those who haven’t I will refrain from describing this at all and simply encourage you to click on this ASAP, because this is hilarious. Although I should point out that this is not in particularly good taste and could offend some people. But, personally, I thought this was the funniest thing I’ve read in quite a while.

My eternal thanks to Catherine for this link!
