R.I.P. Macho Man

R.I.P. Macho Man

I don’t think I’ve enjoyed anything in my life as much as I enjoyed watching wrestling as a kid. Every Saturday morning I was there in front my TV mesmerized. It was my religion. I had my Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka poster on my door for years. I wish I still had it. I believe this was the poster. My Dad and I drove to this high school gym to watch WrestleMania 1 on closed circuit. They didn’t have pay per view back then. The next year pay per view was available. We ordered it but something happened with our cable company and all that came up on the WrestleMania 2 channel was fuzz. I went to bed devastated I’d missed it. But I no way was I going to miss next years. WrestleMania 3 was epic. Andre the Giant vs Hulk Hogan in front of 90,000 plus at the Pontiac Silver Dome. And the greatest match of all time, Randy “Macho Man” Savage against Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat.

There’s a lot I could say about the Macho Man but I couldn’t say it any better than ESPN’s Bill Simmons already did. This article sums it all up for me.

Thank you Randy Savage. You were a legend.

Tommy Davidson and I did our thing at Misawa Air Base and at Yokosuka Naval Base.  Here’s a few pics:

These shows were shortly after we killed Bin Laden.  Here was my short and sweet take on it.  Enjoy.

We will be headed to Alaska in few weeks.  Details coming soon.

America the Not So Beautiful

America the Not So Beautiful

Throughout my travels all over the world this past year I have learned one thing with absolute certainty. We are getting our asses kicked in the attractive flight attendant department. Apparently in Turkey, Italy, Portugal, Greece and Japan they still subscribe to the young, hot and thin flight attendant theory. Our flight attendants here in the good ole U S of A are anything but young, hot and thin. First of all, there’s no chance our flight attendants will be young and hot. All the young and hot flight attendants have moved on to bigger and better things like marrying a pilot or some rich dude they met in first class. The only way any of these trolls bangs a pilot is if she’s a slump buster. Captain Sully has a few bad landings in a row. He needs to get his mojo back so he lands his plane inside Carol, the always have your seatbelt on Nazi.

And young? Come on! I think some of these relics served peanuts on the Wright Brothers first flight. They are all a bunch of MILFs. Mothers I’d Love to Forget. And they have not aged gracefully. They are bitter and angry after having tended to unreasonable and ignorant passengers needs for years. And I don’t blame them for being bitter. People are the worst. The woman next to me on the flight home asked for her filet to be cooked medium rare. Lady, we are on a FUCKING PLANE! There’s no chef preparing this shit to order. We are eating a glorified Stouffers Salisbury Steak microwave dinner. It comes one way. Shitty.

But I guess we can’t dominate everything can we America? The rest of the world has us crushed in Flight Attendants and Soccer. Do something Obama.
