What will Jeremy Lin’s lasting legacy be in the league? Being the first-ever Asian-American player to make it to the pros? Or the second-ever Harvard player? Or being one of the enduring success stories for the ages, showing what can be accomplished with just hard work and effort after everybody counts you out?
No.
Thanks to Jeremy Lin, we can now add “sanity” to the end of any word to indicate that it has become a popular phenomenon. Linsanity. Dwightsanity. Ersanity (shout out to the guy in my avatar!). In fact, I’ve started saying it around the house. If I make cookies, I yell “COOKIESANITY” at the top of my lungs as soon as I take them out of the oven. Gotta take a whiz? “PISSANITY!” My girlfriend doesn’t find it funny when I do it at the supermarket (“Honey, how about some of this CHEESANITY?”) but it adds a lot of excitement to my life. When I told her I was gonna yell it at our wedding, she called the whole thing off and dumped me. No biggie. I’m having a blast.
Thanks, Jeremy!
