Okay, since I suggested it, I might as well start it off. Keep in mind, this stuff was done with a fucking ballpoint pen! I'll start with the above as it's currently on auction and we may never see it again. Here's a particularly grotesque image... (Basket Case 2, anyone?) Okay, enough of the weird stuff, here's something completely different: And how about... Add whatever you like... LOTS of stuff out there. His color work is good, but nowhere near the level of his b&w stuff.

OMG... In what sort of bizarre world is Tim Kennedy vs. Rafael Natal a main event? They're decent fighters, but... Except for the womens' matches the prelims look to be much more entertaining than the actual card.

The drummer from the Eagles diminishes the list, yet you're happy about David Spade? WTF? -
Me signing a book at some convention or other... Please note the swank Chris Daniels shirt... With Welsh horror author and pal, Tim Lebbon;. (from about seven years ago, I am much more svelte now...) ;-) Someone took some great shots of Raven and I goofing around at a World Horror Con in Atlanta, but I can't find any of the images, nor any of the fabled trip to Abdullah the Butcher's House of Ribs & Chinese Food...

I would hope that you're right, however, from going downtown to watch lots of MMA events at either the Coal Street Pub or Sammy C's I'm not overly impressed with the mental faculties of the average fan... (This says nothing of the inevitable drunk that wants to start shit with me because of my size).

Lots of footballers were born every day. There have been and are lots and lots of footballers. (I noticed the same thing on my birthday, but 90% of the guys I've never heard of.) -
Famous People that Share the Same Birthday as You
OSJ replied to Kyle Casey's topic in LAND OF CONFUSION
I share my birthday with Samuel Colt, gun maker, Lizzie Borden, axe murderess, "Bones" Jones, MMA fighter, and Vitali Klitschko boxing champ,Yoshiaki Yatsu, pro wrestler, and last, but certainly not least, Tony Mameluke, pro wrestler. Oddly, enough, no one else seems to have been born in 1957, the closest is Yatsu, who is a year older than I am. Obviously, we July 19th babies are a group not to be fucked with. -
My step-sons are both in their thirties, but we live next door to my nephew, his wife and their four-year old daughter. In my wife's tradition, uncles and aunts are all "grandparents" , so despite being far too young, I am now "Grandpa John". Kind of cool, she stays with us from noon to 5PM while her parents are at work and spends most of the time either watching tv or playing with the cats. At least I get caught up on my SpongeBob Squarepants and Fairly Odd Parents, both of which I find strangely compelling...

I don't think that Chandler is second rate, however, casual fans will think so after he loses two fights in a row with Eddie. As to whether or not most casual fans are "complete morons", you said it, I didn't. Bellator has a really tough row to hoe to get fans to think that any of their fighters are at the UFC level. It's asinine as they have plenty of talent, but smart marketing has made UFC #1 and the perception exists that everything else is second rate. Doesn't help matters when you try and showcase a couple of has-beens like Hampage and Tito as a "main event".
-
Great episode.
-
Also a perfect example of what not to do with your money guys. Don't put them in fights with guys likely to beat them until you've built them up by feeding them some cans. King Mo needs to work full time in TNA and anyone that thinks Chandler will take the third fight with Eddie is a damn fool. I don't care how close it was on the scorecards, Eddie looked like he was ready to go out on the town and Chandler looked like he was headed for the hospital. You absorb a beating like that, you're likely never going to be the same. That said, Chandler will do just fine after Eddie goes to UFC, but he always be viewed as second rate, just like the promotion.

Could be interesting... Smart money is of course on Kawajiri, bur Dias has shown lots of ways to win a fight.
-
Heh-heh, nothing like being sick as a weight loss program. I dropped about ten lbs. when in the hospital (since I refuse to eat the crap that passes for food there, it was almost a four-day fast.) Wife smuggled in two fish sandwiches, but that was about it. With every meal they served, I just drank the crap de-caf coffee and ate the dinner roll. Since when does "low sodium" mean "use no spices"?

Libby's really missed the boat by never hiring Juvy to be the spokesman for Juicy Juice. Cocaine's a helluva drug. What the hell is a "juicy house"?

Seeing Mousasi getting kicked in the head repeatedly is boring?

Damn, and right after Leal's death. I hate to say it, but it's far past time for boxing to either be banned completely or seriously regulated. Maybe I'm a hypocrite, (as a huge MMA fan and still a boxing follower), but the difference in MMA and boxing is light years in terms of safety for the participants. For one, the goal in MMA is not to bash the other guy in the head until his brain is bouncing around inside his skull, and for all we bitch about premature stoppages, at least we haven't seen anyone beaten to death on primetime tv. What's it going to take, a beloved star like Manny being put into a coma? No, that will get swept under the rug with comments about "not prepared", "medically cleared", a fluke, yadda, yadda, yadda), and then business as usual...
-
Yeah, that'll put meat in the seats. ;-) Seriously, "The Dean of Mean" is considered a great embarrassment here (a State which has a great many things to be embarrassed about...) They need to book King Mo in a one-man tournament just to be on the safe side. ;-)
-
Oh, cool... It's on today at quarter to two.
-
Sounds like I missed one of the best episodes of the series when I was in the hospital. Hopefully, it will be replayed today before the new episode.
-
I wonder if somehow Bjorn is related to Eric Bischoff? Wonder what else they'll have on that card? Hampage against a guy with a 2-7 record? (Oh, wait...) King Mo against someone else that will figure him out? Perhaps roll out Mr. Riggs to bore everyone to death? Hard to say. There are so many ways to screw things up and Bjorn seems hellbent on doing all of them...
-
I sure as hell hope so. ;-)

Congrats to all the proud parents and to Tabe on the new gig. (I'm hardly in the same league when it comes to writing code, but I do know it is much more fun to create something than to spend hours breaking things. I spent too many hours of my life QAing stuff for a major company when it wasn't even my job, (my job was sales to major accounts, but I got tagged as the regional "computer guy" and suffered accordingly.) My good news is also good news for anyone interested in old-time rasslin (I have to assume that there are at least a few people here that fit that criteria). Anyway, the company that I'm an editor for, Ramble House Publishers is going to produce wrestling historian Steve Yohe's book on Strangler Lewis and I've been tapped to write the intro. I consider it an honor to be associated in any way shape or form with this project, but to have my name in the book sort of vindicates all the hours and hours I've spent watching and reading about this goofy sport. The book's going o be expensive, so start saving up now. It will be well worth the money.

Burgundy: Thanks! I 'm glad to hear that you're on the mend. I have two more days of antibiotics and at this point everything seems fine. The irritating thing is the constant reoccurrence when I'm doing everything the docs suggest. I've lost about 40 lbs, (still a proud member of Team Chunky, but getting close to my high-school weight), keep my legs elevated several hours a day, watch the fluid intake (have even eliminated soda), and still the shit comes back without warning... Pisses me off mightily.
-
Not often, but if you're going to make up a fake title to try and get your money guy over, you should make damn sure that you don't put him in the ring with someone that might actually, y'know, beat him... King Mo is now officially overrated, damaged goods, and when Eddie beats Chandler in the next fight Bellator is really going to look second rate. It's too bad, because I like seeing legit competition for UFC, but Bellator is having the worst luck possible. Well, maybe not, at least we didn't have to watch Tito and Hampage stink up the joint.
