Zippy Chippy Is

“He is the Tattaglia brothers messing with Sonny Corleone. He is the inventor of the eight-track stereo and the producer of Gigli. He is the Cubs, the Red Sox, ‘new’ Coke and the 1997-98 Denver Nuggets (11-71, in case you’ve forgotten) all rolled into one. He is the fuzzless tennis ball. Compared to Zippy’s travails, Napoleon’s trip to Russia and the CIA’s sleuthing in Saudi Arabia start to look pretty good.” (Denver Westword)
