Elaine Benes vs. Barry Bonds: A Statistical Analysis of Improbable Late-Career Surges


by Blaine Fridley, No Longer Welcomed at Neighborhood Gym

Last week at the gym, I accidentally watched CBS. Which, unless being subjected to an advanced interrogation technique, is the only way I'm ever going to watch CBS. In all honesty, I was a tad bit surprised to learn that it still existed. Andy Rooney, too, apparently. 

Well, on that particular evening, the Columbia Broadcasting System was airing a brutally-named program called The New Adventures of Old Christine starring the former Ms. Elaine Benes - Julia Louis-Dreyfus - as "Old Christine."

After catching a glimpse of the now 48 year-old comedic actress, I quickly thought of a new title and mailed it off to CBS president Leslie Moonves: ¡SPOOGE!

Good christ, she's fine as all hell (No word back yet from Leslie on that title change, btw. But I don't imagine him arguing the point that ¡SPOOGE! is a far superior title).

And then while browsing the gym's magazine rack for the newest copy of Ebony, I'm slapped in the face with this rack:


Daaaaamn, Elaine! 

I said, shit! Goddamn!

Wha ha happen'd? 

Don't you know you're supposed to be OLD?

I should be reading your pamphlet on the ravages of Osteoporosis, not rubbing one out at the gym to your Shape Magazine cover. (Note: Be on the look out for my next post: The Top Ways to Get Your Gym Membership Revoked. Hint: don't rub one out on the elliptical machine. Also don't resist arrest so you can "finish" before being taken into custody. That only exacerbates the problem). 

In fact, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is way more of a boner threat now than she was 20 years ago. 

See?

I suspect some sort of performance enhancing drugs are at play.

After all, this kind of late-career surge is almost unprecedented.

Almost.







 














Conclusion:
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the Barry Bonds of female sitcom actresses.
