Stepping Up My Game: Wrestling Summer 2003
I have just returned from an exciting few days of wrestling. I went to Portland, Oregon to train with Team Quest. Randy Couture and Matt Lindland were excellent trainers. Their clinch game is excellent and I picked up a lot. BJ Penn was substituted for Chuck Lidell at the last minute. Again BJ was a really cool guy, and though Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not my cup of tea, he was a great ambassador for the sport.

I came back from these ten days humbled by these coaches excellent ideas and their kindness and professionalism. I was able to detect several holes in my game thanks to their coaching and I look forward to learning from them from here on out!

This can't be for real

Check out this blog. The author describes himself like this: "My name is Dick Babione and I'm a 48 year old used car salesman. My wife is a frigid wasp, my two kids are God damned headjobs, my neighborhood looks like the bad end of Chilifuck New Mexico, and my Crown Vic recently started making strange rattling noises. Every day that I don't set myself on fire is a triumph."

I don't buy it, but it's funny.

What hardcore Trek fans look like

Some people just can't deal with the death of Captain Kirk.

We merely want to see the character have a happy ending in official Trek canon. Not as a hologram, a flashback, a temporary time-travel appearance, a double, an evil twin, a prequel, or a spirit. We also are not asking that he be brought back to be "killed off" again. We want him back one last time so he can have a classy ending where he rides off into the sunset similar to Star Trek VI. We want him alive.

Slick Willie lays the smack down

In an open letter to Hillary Clinton, Dick Morris recalls how he threw down with Bill Clinton:

Bill ran after me, tackled me, threw me to the floor of the kitchen in the mansion and cocked his fist back to punch me. You grabbed his arm and, yelling at him to stop and get control of himself, pulled him off me. Then you walked me around the grounds of the mansion in the minutes after, with your arm around me, saying, "He only does that to people he loves."

Classie Freddie Blassie, RIP

Charles Oliver notes the passing of wrestler Classie Freddie Blassie, who is known to me only for his song "Pencil-Necked Geek," which I remember hearing on the Dr. Demento radio show years ago. Writes Oliver:

Blassie was stabbed for the first time by a fan in a match in Rome, Georgia. He actually finished his match after the fan was arrested, but wound up spending several days in the hospital. Blassie would go on to be stabbed almost two dozen more times by fans. And he lost the sight in one eye after fans in Boston tossed a hard-boiled egg from the cheap seats that hit him in the head. He really knew how to draw heat.

Now I understand why the doormen at Incredibly Strange Wrestling frisk everyone.
