11/24/2023 0 Comments Color me crazy rant sports![]() HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK? This is making my brain hurt. DeBeers suplexes him in from the apron to take over and goes up with a diving headbutt that misses, and we keep cutting back to the “sports bars” where people are supposedly watching this pre-taped show, featuring themselves, live. Have I mentioned how amazing this show is? It’s pretty fucking amazing. ![]() So we watch this in SUPER SLOW MO, which reveals that Diamond’s dropkick missed by three area codes while DeBeers sold it anyway. DeBeers works a headlock, but Diamond gets a leapfrog into a dropkick. Diamond tries it again and crashes into the corner, but DeBeers can’t get him over the top. Have they not heard about TIME ZONES? Are there sports bars open at 6am in Egypt or something supposedly watching this? Diamond gets a flying headscissors to start, but DeBeers boots him in the head to break. Speaking of beaming it into space, Greg and Ralph stress that they’re watching this “live from satellite base” along with everyone in sports bars live all over the world. They should be beaming this nonsense into space and storing it on the alien time capsule thing along with Jack White’s record so future generations and any visiting extraterrestrials will be warned never to watch it. This is the greatest and craziest bullshit ever. I mean, you have to check out this green-screen technology: “King of the Hill” means “over the top rope challenge” apparently. Of note is that Diamond says this is the first match in the Team Challenge Series, but we just had a recap of the point standings to date! Whoever emailed me to tell me that this was “unwatchable garbage” and not worth my time could not be more wrong if they were booking this show themselves. I mean, they green-screened a crowd for the entrances, so I would have to assume that the green-screened planet behind Diamond means that we’re supposed to literally believe he’s floating in space for this promo. Meanwhile, Paul Diamond cuts a promo, apparently from outer space. Apparently they knock each other down and the first one to get up wins, and in fact one of them gets up and wins. In the second round, they just give up the pretense of boxing and start doing a worked wrestling match while occasionally throwing punches and I literally have no idea what’s happening in the match or what the rules are. Is this related to the Team Challenge Series or even part of the AWA? No idea. Why they are all in bikinis is also never explained. To further cover up the lack of audience, the ring is surrounded by other random women in bikinis who I guess have some connection to this match that is never explained. Here’s the camera angle used for most of the match: Slaughter pretends to address DeBeers off-screen, and we cut to DeBeers in front of his own green screen ranting about taking orders from an enlisted man.Īnd now, actual foxy boxing, as we get a random match between “The Blond Bomber” and “Slaughterhouse Sean” and they do a terrible, TERRIBLE boxing match where the camera cuts like Kevin Dunn on a coke bender as they desperately try to use every first year film student trick possible to edit this into something watchable. ![]() DeBeers, and apparently DeBeers will disgrace America if he loses. Meanwhile, Slaughter continues hyping the main event, an over-the-top challenge match between Paul Diamond and Col. Also, you could tell it was a fake crowd put in via post-production, because they were actually reacting to an AWA show in 1989. Uh, why, exactly? The “crowd” noise was particularly obnoxious here, just meaningless background noise in a loop for the entire match. Greg notes that the ref should have disqualified the heels for coming off the top rope. Enos gets a powerslam on Lynn and the Crew finishes with a Doomsday Device at 4:42. The commentary team sounds like something out of an early WWE2K video game. Rice and Lynn keep double-teaming on Bloom this time while we cut to random unrelated reaction shots from the “crowd”, like Kevin Dunn’s wet dream, and Enos gets a cheap knee from the apron and Bloom hits a backdrop suplex on Lynn. Lynn and Rice double-team the arm of Mike Enos and completely control the team that’s supposed to be the future of the division and dominant champions. The brief promo from Sarge and Baron was the only time we’ve even heard about it. I should note that this is the second match into this show that’s supposed to be centered on the team point system and there’s still no mention of the actual point of the show: The Team Challenge Series.

The story of Ball and Arnaz’s relationship was told in Amy Poehler’s 2022 documentary, Lucy and Desi, which dove into who they were as people in addition to Hollywood stars. The couple fell in love and married on November 30, 1940. In 1940, Arnaz starred in the movie version of the show, alongside his future wife, Lucille Ball. The band also led Arnaz to be cast in his first Broadway musical, Too Many Girls, in 1939. The success of the group led Arnaz to start his own band, the Desi Arnaz Orchestra, which became a hit in New York City’s club scene. ![]() After he graduated from high school, Arnaz joined a band called the Siboney Septet. Patrick Catholic High School in Miami Beach. Arnaz’s family then fled to Miami, where the I Love Lucy star attended St. Alberto was released after six months when his brother-in-law, Alberto de Acha, intervened. After the Cuban Revolution of 1933, Arnaz’s father, Alberto Arnaz, was jailed and their home was confiscated. ![]() He had long been divorced from his ex-wife, Lucille Ball, but the last words he said to her were still significant.Īrnaz-whose full name is Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha, III-was born on March 2, 1917, in Santiago de Cuba in Cuba. If you’re still mourning his loss, you may have questions about how Desi Arnaz died and what caused his death. 11/23/2023 0 Comments Girl in red background![]() As Schindler witnesses the terrifying liquidation of the Jewish ghetto by the Nazis, his eye is caught by a tiny girl in a red coat (one of the few images in color in a black-and-white film) being rounded up. Who was the girl in the red coat in Schindler’s List? In the city of Krakow, Oskar Schindler runs a factory in which he employs cheap Jewish labor. It has even been posited that the music was perfect for a diminutive, self-contained, and not yet sophisticated or nuanced performer, evoking the very innocence of the girl in the red coat in Spielberg’s movie. And though the 15-year-old skater stated that the song didn’t have any deep meaning for her, Yulia’s program was choreographed by former Olympic ice-dancing medalist, Ilia Averbukh, a Russian Jew. The haunting melody is filled with drama and melancholy. Paul Wyle skated to it in 1994, Katarina Witt (a German) in 1995, and even Israel’s sibling dance team, Roman and Alexandra Zaretsky, in 2010. Others disagreed, citing the use of the John William’s score to Schindler’s List for Olympic ice skating competitions ever since the movie was made. After all, what judge could vote against the murdered girl in the red coat? Lipnitskaya’s choice of a red costume evoked the iconic image of the murdered 3-year-old child in the movie and was therefore, manipulative. Immediately, social media mocked her performance as “Schindler’s List: On Ice!” Slate Magazine called the musical choice vulgar and Salon magazine said the use of the 1993 Academy Award-winning theme song “raises questions of taste and respect,” even questioning its sportsmanship. It was with less enthusiasm that critics hailed the 15-year-old Russian ice skater, Yulia Lipnitskaya, when she became the youngest person ever to win Winter Olympic gold, performing to the theme song from Schindler’s List in Sochi in February. We cheered when gymnast Aly Raisman wowed the crowd with her floor performance to the strains of Hava Nagila at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Now, I will say that I have no intention of ever selling it again!ĭana Gassay’s 1970 Nova has all original matching numbers, down to the distributor, carburetor, transmission and rear end.

But he did and it turns out he’s the guy I sold the car to in 1993. The SS badges on the front quarter panels will list the CID of the engine: 350 or 396. A couple of weeks go by and after not hearing anything, I figured the owner would never call. For the 1970 Super Sport Nova, there were only four SS tags on the body of the car: one on the trunk lid, one on each front quarter panel, and one on the grille. I left a note on the windshield hoping the owner would call me. Well, I began checking out this Nova and low and behold it was my old car down to a sticker in the rear window! My wife said, “would you ever want to by one again?” I gave a non committal answer. I suffered from sellers remorse since then – I’m sure many of your can relate!Ī couple of weeks ago, I saw a Nova like mine with the same color and trim in a mall parking lot.

I rated it three stars because I think the food was pretty average and didn’t blow my mind and the price is regular pricing you see at a typical restaurant in LA. The sweets were sweet and satisfied my sweet tooth and the mangoes were incredibly fresh and sweet. Wouldn’t go for Thai if you’re health conscious but once a week dining out can be okay. Flavor is heavy in general as is with all Thai food, lots of sauce and heavy seasoning but I guess that’s what makes it good. The crab wontons were the best - they were super delectable and I liked that it sat on a bed of vegetables. The sweet potato curry didn’t taste like sweet potato and more like regular potatoes but paired well with rice. Which isn’t bad! It definitely tastes right and the chicken on both the pad see ew and pad Thai were great. I’ve had better pad Thai - this pad Thai tastes pretty average. It’s a trendy and colorful place and has a casual feel to it. I loved the location of the restaurant, towards the end of sunset strip before it goes into the Beverly Hills area. It was definitely flavorful, it didn’t taste bad and the service was great, the employees were welcoming and patient and the food came out fast. Went here for my birthday dinner with friends and it was a good experience overall. If we are in the neighborhood again, will return for more wings. ![]() I've worked restaurant business and won't blame the establishment for this one. The tables we sat at was dirty and we had to clean them off our selves even though there are signs clearly posted stating to clean your tables before leaving. Just a reminder that they will check for Covid Vaccination record cards if you so desire to dine in. You can get different salad dressings and different dipping sauces for your chicken wings. The garlic fried rice was really tasty and the wings came with a simple side salad that came with their apple dressing and hit the spot to accommodate the wings and garlic rice. Their soy garlic wings were crispy on point, you can taste the soy sauce and garlic within the marinade. Wifey had been here many years ago and suggested bringing me here and the kiddo to try their garlic soy wings and regular fried wings along with a side order of their garlic fried rice. Wanted to check this Korean Fried chicken wings spot. |
