WTF

Mike Danton arrested for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill an acquaintance.

From the article:
Quote:
Danton told a female friend that a hitman from Canada was coming to kill him and asked the woman if she knew someone who would kill the person for $10,000. ... The complaint alleges that Danton actually was trying to kill a male acquaintance after an argument Tuesday in which the two fought over Danton's "promiscuity and use of alcohol." The complaint said Danton feared the acquaintance, who is not named, would talk to St. Louis Blues management and ruin Danton's career.
Is Danton gay? NTTAWWT

I dunno who the buffalo guy is you refer to, but what's with this Mike Danson guy being formerly known as Mike Jackson (or Johnson, or whatever -- some totally different name)?

Reportedly because he had issues with his family.

Strange story -- very strange all around.

Not on all fours, but parallels. Was his brother arrested? Last I remember Bison was just missing.

Parallels between a guy who wanted to hire a killer and a guy who skipped out on a lucrative NBA contract to travel the world, and who was murdered by his own brother?

So, the parallels are: (1) they are both men, and (2) they were professional athletes.

Bison Dele is a sad, sad case. He, his girlfriend, and their captain are missing and presumed dead in Tahiti. His brother was pursued by authorities and died in Mexico.

and
3 they both changed names mid-career for weird reasons.


Bison Dele was "Brian Williams" until his last year in the league. He and this hockey guy both changed names for very odd reasons. "bison" isn't a muslim name, he changed for reasons unknown- ie he was nutty. So two pro athletes change names and then get into murder investigations- different sides sure, but still.

Women are like apples on trees.

The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.......

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them,
...when in reality, they're AMAZING. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Men are like a fine wine.

They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Article on the HIV porn scare

http://www.canada.com/calgary/calgar...d-3c1f05a84847

So the chick who got infected was a former stripper turn porn star. Tell me again how stripping doesn't lead to entry into porno or prostitution? The only prostitutes who don't start out as strippers are the ones too ugly to get paid to strip.

And the guy who infected her stars in movies entitled Eighteen and Interracial, Little White Slave Girls, and Francesca Le Has A Negro Problem, two of which you can read about in all their glory here and here [SPREE - porno sites, not work appropriate].

Funny how most if not all of the interracial porn features black men and white women and makes a big deal out of the interracial aspect. I don't know of any that feature white men with black women. They may be out there, but it seems to disproportionately be black men and white women. Wonder what is up with that? (That is a rhetorical question. I know the answer)

From the article,

Roxx was the female focus of a March 24 scene with James and two other male porn stars.

She was indulging for the first time on camera in the medically high-risk practice of unprotected anal sex.


Call me a prude, but I'm hope 3 guys doing anal to one woman required at least 2 seperate sex acts.

Right similes, wrong reasons.

Apples bloom and grow in one season, are shapely and firm and sweet for but a moment, a blink, and then wither and wrinkle and turn to mush.

Men start out simple and basic, and age and season and become sophisticated and distinguished with time. The very best wines, and men, have developed character and nuance and always, always leave you with a better taste in your mouth than before you tried them.

Movies: North Dallas Forty

This movie is pretty good. One of the best sports movies I've ever seen. This is one of Nick Nolte's best movies, up there with 48 Hours. If barely is still looking for net-flix worthy movies, this is one.

Quote:
NORTH DALLAS FORTY is a funny and insightful peek into the world of professional football, adapted from Peter Gent's novel. Phillip Elliott is an aging wide receiver for the North Dallas Bulls who still delivers on the field--despite the many past injuries that keep him in almost constant pain. Almost as painful for him is the constant abuse heaped on the players by management. Now Phillip's determined to do something about it. The corporate bigwigs, however, are growing increasingly annoyed by Elliott's complaining. Will the athlete cave in to the pressure and keep his mouth shut or fight the executives at the risk of ending his career? Featuring a stellar cast that includes Charles Durning, Mac Davis, and Nick Notle, this film ranks with HORSE FEATHERS, SEMI-TOUGH, and THE LONGEST YARD as one of the greatest football films of all time.
