Weather post

I used to like it when the weather's nice.  I think I'm over it now.  Everyone goes outside when it's nice.  People get in the way of each other, doin' their own thang, steppin' out in front of moving vehicles.  Someone goes a little overboard on the pot brownies.  The firetrucks show up.  Then the ambulances show up.  Then the cops show up.  Now nobody is having a good time.  Here's some advice for when the weather's nice:  Stay home.  You'll just get in the way.  I wish I could say that I like it when it's rainy because there's less people standing in the middle of the sidewalk.  yes, there are less people.  But then the umbrellas come out.  I hate umbrellas.  Umbrellas are a huge waste of space.  Very intrusive on the non-umbrella users.  They cover 3 times the space the umbrella-user actually needs.  Then umbrella users decide to walk side by side, which takes up a large amount sidewalk real estate and become very hard to maneuver around.  Every time it rains, I almost lose an eye because umbrella-users are oblivious.  I get so mad, I could swear.  Here's some more advice:  Buy a raincoat with a hood.  What?  It'll mess up your hair?  Simple.  Buy a comb. I'm out. (LC)

Fashion

You wanna know why I don't wear tight pants?  'Cause the last thing this world needs is another fat man in tight pants. (LC)

I never...

I have not seen that one show called "The O.C."  Any good? (LC)

Dorkin'!

This one time, I was talking to a dude and I mentioned that I had never played Dungeons and Dragons, but I would like to try it. He told me that Dungeons and Dragons was for dorks. Not too much later, I found out he was a big fan of Insane Clown Posse. I know for a fact that he has donned clown paint more than once. 15 years later, I still have yet to play a single game of Dungeons and Dragons. BOOYAH.(LC)

Candy Review

After years of looking, I finally found some more:

It has been a while. You still taste terrible, but for some reason, I can finally appreciate your nuances. Maybe I've grown into it. It's old-timer candy. (LC)

Imagine...

What if Yoda is Kermit the Frog's great-uncle. I mean, they're both green...they both have a hand up their ass... Sorry, just riffin'. (LC)

Since we're on the subject...

Me and a buddy of mine got thinking about the AMC shows and how some of them have a debriefing talk show after each episode. You know how there was a "Talking Bad" that aired after each episode of "Breaking Bad". And there's "Talking Dead" for "The Walking Dead". My buddy and I were wondering why there isn't one of those shows for "Game Of Arms". It could be "Talking Arms". I don't know. Maybe that show isn't popular enough. But what about "Mad Men"? That is one of the most popular shows for the network. Why don't they have a talk show called "Talking Men"? just wondering. (LC)

T.V. show review

"Game Of Arms" is a new show on AMC. It's about arm wrestling. I can't put my finger on what I really like about it because sometimes the show can be a little over the top. I guess you have to hand it to the production team for telling a gripping story. It gets a thumbs-up from me. (LC)

A great weekend for fights

It's no secret that I enjoy watching combat sports, and I was a pig in shit last weekend.   Here are some of the highlights:

Big Country KO'd Big Nog out stiff at the UFC in Abu Dhabi on Friday morning.

It was a good win for Roy Nelson. I'm a fan of both guys, so it was sad to see a legend like Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro Nogueira get knocked out like that. I think it may be time he hangs the gloves up...

Like another legend Vladimir Matyushenko did Friday night after getting submitted by an unlikely Joey Beltran on the Bellator card. Matyushenko left his gloves in the cage. "The Janitor" is 43 years old and looked every bit of it Friday night. For as slow as he looked, I scored rounds 1 & 2 for him, though. Round 3 was when he appeared to run out of gas and Beltran choked him for the tap. That wouldn't have happened even 2 years ago, so it was time.

Glory Kickboxing was on Saturday night. Tyrone Spong, the man who many consider the pound-for-pound best kickboxer...well, until Saturday night, wrapped his shin around Gokhan Saki's knee. That was a bummer. I guess he won't be kicking again for a while...

It's almost exactly what happened Anderson Silva back in December when his kick was checked by Chris Weidman's knee. Shins are not supposed to bend like that. On a side note: that kick check with the knee technique has been dubbed "The Destruction" by Weidman's trainer Ray Longo. Well, "The Destruction" is very effective.

Probably the best fight of the weekend was the Manny Pacquiao/Timothy Bradley rematch. It was a great 12-round bout that had Pacquiao get the unanimous decision.
PacMan may owe a lot to his mother, though. People have said she may have cast a hex on Bradley during the match. I won't speculate, so check it out for yourself. This was my favorite part of the weekend: (LC)

Squatch Hunting

I've been thinking about Squatchin' a lot lately. I'm thinking that going Squatchin could land you behind bars in a big way. Hunting endangered species is a felony offense, and you're not going to tell theses pups ain't endangered. Clearly they are cause nobody can find one. Therefore these TV shows that glorify the hunting should be outlawed. You don't see an A&E show about Rhino hunting do ya?

Science

The Universe is massive.  Think about it.  Not for too long, though.  You could end up wasting a whole bunch of time.  Unless you're someone like Stephen Hawking or Neil Degrasse Tyson. (LC)

Truth

You know how there are different methods of learning like: by example, or demonstration, or going to school?  Well, I learn by making mistakes.  So I'll save you some trouble.  Don't say things to me like: "Don't make the same mistake I did." or: "Don't make the mistake of...(whatever)".  Because I will. (LC)

Real Genius

I recently found out that the creator of the personal computer had a Dial-A-Joke telephone line in the early 80s.  That is, Steve Wozniak had a phone number you could call and hear a joke.  Google it. I couldn't find any recordings of his jokes, but he does have a joke book you can buy here.  I'm guessing from the one review that his jokes are pretty terrible...That make me like him even more!  Wozniak > Jobs. (LC)

The Ultimate Warrior is officially dead...

...and that really. bums. me out.  He was on Monday Night RAW just last night.  I watched it.  He cut a classic Ultimate Warrior promo in the ring (which he walked to with a noticeable limp).  He shook the ropes just like old times.  Warrior was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame before Wrestlemania 30 last weekend.  He gave a good speech.  Unfortunately for everyone, I think he had a lot more to say than he did.  Now we won't ever get that autobiography.  Bummer.  That would be a book I would like to read.  I'm not the wrestling fan that I used to be.  A lot of that has to do with the quality in today's wrestlers.  Warrior wasn't necessarily old school, because wrestling goes back well before he got started.  He was a huge part of the era that had the largest impression on me, though. Here are my top 5: 1. Hulk Hogan 2. Macho Man 3. Roddy Piper 4. The Ultimate Warrior 5. Mick Foley Anyway, here's the promo Warrior cut for Wrestlemania VI (here). Warrior won the belt from Hogan after playing the most glorious game of Mercy. You should google that match. One of the greatest of all time. (LC)

I've been doing a little reading up on Heaven's Gate.  They made some sick websites.  Look it up.  Not to be too distasteful here but those purple nikes are SAWEEEET!  I'm also thinking about maybe getting a purple snuggie.  KY's birthday is coming up soon.  Maybe I'll ask her for one. (LC)

Movie review

I saw 'Noah' the other night.  Nobody told me Anthony Hopkins

Now that this blog is impossible to open...

Lessons

I do not train Jiu Jitsu, but I did a little wrestling in high school. Like most things, I wasn't very good at it.  I think I understand this guy's sentiment, though.  Watch closely for the puke: (LC)

If anyone needs a container to hold one of their kids, here's a listing for one. Plenty of room for probably even a teenager if they are smaller. Not sure what to do with the 2 things on the right.

preferences

I'm pretty much a metalhead and a rock fan. I'm a sucker for Trance, too, though. It's kinda funny, because I'm not a big fan of "House" techno music. I don't know much about trance, but it gives me a weird feeling inside when I hear it. I think the theme song for Downton Abbey could be made into a sweet trance remix. That's my opinion on the subject.  Mauricio "Shogun" Rua used to walkout to this song before he fought:(LC)

choice body art

I watched Smealinho Rama fight on t.v. the other night.  He showed potential in a decision win.  I couldn't help but notice the portrait of Iron Mike on his stomach.  Now I'm a pretty big fan of Mike Tyson.  I think the man has done a lot to try redeem himself of all the crazy/bad things he did in his past.  I watched his Vegas show on HBO a couple months back.  He told a bunch of stories from his past.  The documentary, "Tyson" is really worth watching, too.  You have to remember that Tyson used to completely wreck great fighters in seconds when he was coming up.  Ali might have been the greatest, in and out of the ring.  He didn't ruin scary dudes like Tyson in his prime, though.  You gotta remember, too, that Tyson was almost always the much smaller fighter than his opponents. He had amazing footwork.  Anyway, why did Rama choose to get a tattoo of Tyson's face post-facial tattoo/ear-bite/baby-eating/and rape conviction?  Is it because he admires the man that Tyson is trying to be now?  Personally, If I was a fighter, and I thought I had to have a Mike Tyson portrait on my stomach, I would probably get a younger version when he was turning grown-ass men's lights off.  On the other hand, Rama is only 21 years old.  Older Tyson is scarier-looking, anyway.  Sorry for the long post.  Here's a jam from Condor:

Interpretations

I watched a lot of Star Wars this weekend.  I made an acute observation while spending some quality time with the material.  In Star Wars (#4 for those who don't call it Star Wars),  Luke Skywalker gets dragged underwater by the Death Star's trash monster.  He escapes it's grasp.  In Empire Strikes Back, R2D2 is swallowed by a swamp monster but spit out.  In Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett gets swallowed by the Sarlacc in the deserts of Tatooine.  (The rumor is that he escaped sometime after the movie finished.)  Anyway, I'm not sure what this means, but it's probably sexual.  I just wanted to point it out.  Here's Cloven Hoof:

lifestyle choices

You know why I don't smoke weed?  So I can brag about being the only person in Portland that isn't stoned.  On another note, we're moving to Wichita this summer. (don't play it, I'm already sick of that White Stripes song.) Wymans got a new gig there starting in August.  So long Potland...I mean Potholeland!  Here's Chinawite:
