Am watching some UFC advertisements,

between college FB games, and am amazed by Colin McGregor, a great Irish fighter, who is gonna defend his crown on Dec 12th. Because I am somewhat of a wiseass, (surprise!) and worked 'security' with Feyline Concerts for many years, I have been in MANY fights,  BUT, no one has EVER landed a punch to my face. I swear... I'm claiming I have 'athletic blood', and every time I saw a fist coming toward my head, it seemed like slow motion, (called 'reaction time') and I merely dodged it, sometimes following up with a punch. Yup, like most of us, I like to brag, but this is real, as I look back on my life, (personal and professional) which included confrontations with LOTS of jerks, (probably Repubs), as I escaped without a bruise.
PS When I was working 'security' with Feyline, (for many years) with most of the big R&R groups of the 70's, I always knew that if I could survive for a while, I''d have a bunch of help, as we all had each other's backs. These days there are about a hundred ARA guys at every concert, but, we only had about 10, for HUGE venues. Just sittin' here. re-living concert memories, (from commercials). that remind me of the good old days, when I worked for a living, and life was MUCH more exciting....
PSS I was VERY lucky/fortunate, considering what could have happened....
PSSS This is my 'web log', (blog), and if you don't like it, quit reading my diary, as I try to recreate memories for my rocking chair years. Voyeurism is kinda sick....

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
