That price point will make it more welcoming for those interested.

Would you go to court if two people got out of a car and started shoving you on the sidewalk after you gave them the finger when they cursed at you for crossing the sidewalk?

Crazy lesbians...

My wife just bought the Whole Foods version (one chocolate cookie, one vanilla cookie, single stuff). I gotta say, darn good!!! Nothing like an Oreo; still, these are tasty. So smooth and addictive.

No, but I remember Raul Alcala saying "He was kooked in the keetchen" about Berzhin.

I'm confused? Why would crazy lesbians in a car care if you crossed a sidewalk? Or is that the crazy part?

"That guy totally crossed the sidewalk back there!"

"Wait, the whole 4-foot sidewalk?"

"Yeah."

"Well, we are crazy <kiss, kiss, grope>. Let's get him!"


I will say that I was unable to convince a guy to get out of his car this morning after we flipped each other off. I tried every trick I had, and he just kept driving. I guess I'm glad his judgement didn't lapse as far as mine did. My wife's out of town and I'm a bit edgy keeping the kids juggled properly.

Came out of the car, came at me and shoved me around. I told them I was just going to take a picture of their car and call the cops. One of them threw my phone on the ground and I stepped on it as she tried to shove me out of the way to get it and either take it or smash it.

Back is not happy with the nice little jolts.

Mostly, I just don't want to see two insane a-holes get off scott free for being absolutely bat****.

Anyone comes at me and starts shoving me around is gonna get hit. Man...Woman...I don't really care. Breaking someone's nose is really easy. If you punch someone straight in the nose, it'll break. It doesn't have to be even that hard of a punch as long as it's well placed. That will take the fight out of just about anyone. However, if you do punch someone in the nose, break it and they're still coming at you...run. Because you're F'd. That person it either a bad-ass or on drugs. Either way you don't want to be hanging around (remember rule #1).

I'm starting to understand why I get called Minion, with all the women in my life.

My brother is worse, he's married with 2 daughters, 2 nieces in his house, and wants our nephew to go live with him to keep an eye on the girls.

Had to be the first year (Tour de Trump), 1989. The second year everyone knew about it.

I was 6 feet tall when I was 11, pear shaped and quite dorky. I was bullied relentlessly in middle school, which was 20% white. One time this large black girl tried to punch me out and I was pretty good at blocking but she did get some good shots in. If I had hit her it would have been doom for me, but she really didn't do any damage.
Years later I was shopping in a furniture store with my girlfriend and this same girl was the floor salesperson. She was very apologetic and I told her it was no big deal.
It was a special moment.

I just cant believe all the "fans" supporting him to the extent they are...because apparently his coaching abilities are more important than the serious issue at hand.

Agreed 100% on that point. Rioting in the streets is uncalled for, I know it's been said by others, but where was the outrage for what happened to the kids.

It's a shame that such a career ended in flames, but not nearly as much as a shame about the abuse and coverup.
