1. Tulo's Fishy Mullet (mrams) Posted: October 11, 2018 at 01:01 PM (#5764639)Maybe there have been follow ups since on twitter, etc.
Isn't that what made Mister T famous? Winning some televised America's Toughest Bouncer content in part through his skill at midget tossing?
Well, with your bad knee, Voxter, you shouldn’t be throwing anybody.
They're not. "Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look."
Well, of all the MLB executives, David Samson is probably the one that could be thrown farthest.
And what can MLB do to help? Force the Dodgers not to start Kershaw? :-)
Is this really a thing? An American thing? I see short, underweight people as either members of some Soprano like family or guys who sit in their basements spending way too much time fawning over some meaningless baseball statistics.
I've never heard of it, unless they're "trustworthy" because they know they're liable to get their asses beaten should they fail to comply with the demands of their superiors. I'm betting it was a tremendous joke that went over all our heads.
His wikiepedia entry alone just made me check amazon for copies of his autobiography (yeesh, pricey!)
It's worth the amusing read on its own.
My favorite:
I fear we've been using the wrong person for those Chuck Norris memes all these years.
FTA:
I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that was B.A. Baracus from the A-team
He used it as Clubber first!
EDIT: I think some wiki editor needs to clean that up... unless, Stallone wrote Rocky III... but I'm pretty sure it was Lang, not Rocky, who said that.
EDIT2: OK, stallone did write Rocky III... still, I should be a grammar Nazi and suggest that it should be "Rocky III writer Sylvester Stallone's line for Clubber Lang..."
First he trusts them, and then he takes them home for dinner. In a way, it's very touching...
Billy Goat is on a ledge, Eddie Eagle's in the sky
Eddie trusts Billy so, Ed says he'll teach him how to fly
Billy says, "I have no wings, my ceiling would seem minimal"
Eddie says, "I won't let you come to harm, to do so would be criminal"
Eddie grabs Billy by his gruff and tugs with all his might
With an air of anticipation, Billy commences with his flight
Mammals and Aves share a secret bond that seldom is discussed
Suspicion would be expected, but to my surprise there's trust
"I trust you so much Eddy, I'm enjoying my flight instruction"
Eddie smiles to himself while he considers the misconstruction
When you're with a confidante you trust, the flight invariably starts quite well
But when the friendship falters, the landing is always Hell
Some of us are born with wings, while others aren't so blessed
Trusting is so much easier for those who have a nest
A place where they can retreat to safety, and pull the drawbridge from the moat
While some of us are doomed to live our lives as just a plunging goat
Goat in the sky, goat in the atmosphere
It might be a job, but it's not quite a career
Goat in the airspace, goat in the firmament
It might last a while, but it sure won't be permanent
Goat in the clouds, goat in the rainbows
He's happy right now, but you'll soon see his death throes
Goat in the heavens, goat with a present altitude
He starts off effusive, but he'll end up most subdued
Goat on a flight mission, goat on a sortie
If he's thirty-nine now, he won't live to see forty
Flying goat, flying goat, flying goat.
Dying goat, dying goat, dying goat.
Caprine.
Airline.
Nein.
Since the only documentation listed for that is Mr. T’s autobiography, I am going to call BS on that. 70 trees in 3½ hours is one tree every three minutes. Unless this was a tree farm with 1-2 inch trunks, this is impossible. I doubt you could take down 70 full-sized trees in 3½ hours with a chainsaw.
