Anyway, the first bout of the evening between James Irvin and Houston [...]

CARTHAGE, Mo. - Ultimate fighting was once the sole domain of burly men who beat each other bloody in anything-goes brawls on pay-per-view TV.
But the sport often derided as “human cockfighting” is branching out.
The bare-knuckle fights are now attracting competitors as young as 6 whose parents treat the sport as casually as wrestling, Little League [...]

As someone who only lifts diamond chandeliers on filaments of platinum while wearing gym shorts made out of hand-tamped gold leaf with ruby and emerald trim (no shirt, of course) and quenching my POWER thirst with baby-protein infused angel-tear smoothies, this article about homemade gyms in Haiti was shocking to me:

starting at minute 8:
Instead, I got three hours of this:
Thanks, Israel!
Seriously though, how sad was my offline-emoticon? On the plus side, I’m so good at [...]

I went to the shoulder doctor yesterday to get my shoulder cancer looked at. He prescribed me an anti-inflammatory medication. I know that joking about side effects of medicine is so old and worn out that even MadTV has started doing it, but looking over the description of the medicine’s effects, I was concerned by [...]
