Just to leave on a happy note.

This is for you dolls. You don't have to thank me. Just the fact that you post your comments here is thanks enough.

Bruno Sammartino, The Grand Wizard, Captain Lou, Toro Tanaka. Pedro Morales v. Pampero Ferpo, the wild bull of the Argentine was the main event. Woof, what a show. I think McMahon was the announcer.

Anyway, George the Animal tore open a turnbuckle cover with his teeth and spit the foam at us. I still have some somewhere. That was right before he hit Bruno on the squash with a folding chair.

Those were the days.

If you dolls like hair, GTAS was your man. Only hairier dude I know is my B-I-L.; January 22, 2009 at 10:19 PM

Ruth Anne Adams said...: He's doing penance--obviously--because he's wearing a hair shirt.; January 23, 2009 at 5:38 AM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: Why does this post have a 'Ruth Anne defends Meade' tag on it?; January 23, 2009 at 5:48 AM
KCFleming said...: OK, Ruth Anne, I'll defend Meade. Killer pose, Meadester. You need a signature move, though. Like the claw or something.

My dad's cousin was a wrestler in the 60s, Red Bastein. I recall seeing him in Omaha as a kid. I don't remember the match much, just the horrifying site of a tiny old red-faced lady spitting in rage, screaming Kill 'im, Red!!.

I had to say, 'Geez, Grandma, sit down, yer embarrassing me!' But I loved my Grandma anyway.; January 23, 2009 at 7:27 AM
Michael Haz said...: Where did he get that shirt?

You didn't get one? All us Catholics get a hair shirt when we are confirmed. Sometimes earlier, depending on your gramma's world view.; January 23, 2009 at 7:41 AM
Darcy said...: Ok, now that's pretty irresistible.; January 23, 2009 at 8:50 AM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: Pogo: I remember my brother extolling the skillz of Butcher Buchon. Am I imagining that name?; January 23, 2009 at 8:56 AM
KCFleming said...: Ruth Anne, wasn't that in a Bugs Bunny episode?; January 23, 2009 at 9:04 AM
Meade said...: Thanks Pogo, sweet of you, but if it's all the same to you, I sort of prefer Ruth Anne... you know... defending me.; January 23, 2009 at 9:35 AM
Meade said...: Trooper, how about Gorgeous George, for the other (alternative) dolls - Titus, Zach, et al.?; January 23, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Ruth Anne Adams said...: Meade: I'd be sure to defend you if you ever did anything wrong.; January 23, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Meade said...: Now THAT'S an attorney I can get b...
I mean, an attorney I can believe in!; January 23, 2009 at 10:13 AM
chickelit said...: Why does this post have a 'Ruth Anne defends Meade' tag on it?

and then:

Meade: I'd be sure to defend you if you ever did anything wrong.

Trooper is either awfully prescient or awfully suggestive. Either way, it's a skill.; January 23, 2009 at 10:20 AM
Meade said...: Yes, chicklit, and either way,
he's just awful.; January 23, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Trooper York said...: "Why does this post have a 'Ruth Anne defends Meade' tag on it?"

Because I am just causing trouble as usual.; January 23, 2009 at 12:10 PM
Christy said...: Dr Kill, Toru Tanaka's wife/widow has been my cousin's BFF since the 70s. Tanaka was a goof, totally charming, and fun to talk to about a wide range of subjects - very well informed. Taught this young snob a lot about prejudging people. Still, not a fan of wrestling.; January 23, 2009 at 5:57 PM
