Clarence Swamptown might have started something big with his most recent guest post Tuesday about "Mauering" -- the act of sitting down, perhaps stoically or maybe even with a lack of interest. Dan Barreiro picked up on it immediately and talked about it later that afternoon on KFAN. The station's web site, in fact, has a gallery up now of folks Mauering.

The latest to join the fun is Benny C over at That's Twins Baseball, who has obtained (or perhaps doctored) a photo showing Mauer Mauering Tim Tebow.

It's things like this that propel things from isolated Internet amusements to full-fledged movements.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
