CRYME TYME PREVENTIN’ CRIME TIME

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

Short story even shorter because I’m a retard and lost the first time I wrote this and don’t really want to re-write it but it’s too good of a story to go unmentioned on the brog that’s never up: Former WWE wrestler and member of the tag team Cryme Tyme, Shad Gaspard, physically incapacitates would-be robber at gas station and restrains him until cops arrive

Sometimes, stores write themselves.  Of course this story took place in Florida, where the vast majority of crazy people seem to live, and where the vast majority of former, indy and developmental professional wrestlers reside.  Kudos to Shad Gaspard for reacting quickly and appropriately in laying out a dumbass who thought it was a good idea to try and bully a 6’6 285 lb. behemoth of a man, and then inform him that he was going to try and rob the joint.

I think my favorite part about the story wasn’t necessarily the fact that the perpetrator was actually armed with a BB gun and not a real gun, but the fact that when Gaspard removed it from his person, he actually crushed it in his grip:

Gaspard told TMZ he found that out when he squeezed the handle so hard it broke. 

Of course he crushed it in his hand like he were Luke Cage or something.

SSDD: Black Lives Matter organizers to protest, over an incident with the police that resulted in a black woman arrested with a broken jaw

From that much of a description, it sounds like some sort of unjust police brutality, doesn’t it?  Yeah, but that’s only part of a story where only part of the picture is painted.  Yet, the rest of the picture is basically explained, but it doesn’t change the fact that BLM still insists on conducting yet another protest.

Long story short, woman is caught by the police smoking pot with a friend.  They even admit that they were doing smoking pot.  Officers search the car and find more pot, and then decide to arrest the woman and her friend.  Woman resists arrest, wrenches back and slugs an officer in the face.  Officer then responds to force with force, slugs the woman, and completes the arrest.

It’s finally over(?), part 26

Maybe?  Dead-Gawker founder Nick Denton agrees to settle with Hulk Hogan, for $31 million dollars plus finally removing the posts of his sexual tape from the internet.

It’s not the entire $140M that was awarded to him by the courts, but it’s still a sizeable take home for a guy who merely got caught on film having sex (with someone else’s wife, consensually).  I mean, for a little bit of public embarrassment, a lot of time spent in courtrooms, it’s still a substantial amount of money to go home with, especially with a gold digging ex-wife, fuck-up of a son, and a pretender of a pop-star daughter all weighing him down.

Granted, if this article is correct of what takeaway he’ll get after taxes and legal fees, it’s a pretty far cry from $140M, but shit, I wouldn’t scoff at $9 million bucks after two years and most of the world getting to see me having night vision sex for like ten seconds.

Thieves?  More like HEROES

Two wrongs don’t make right: Hoodlums break into truck to steal a laptop, inadvertently rescue German Shepard left in truck with windows up

When the day is over, all parties involved are shitheads.

I’m trying to weigh in my head which is the worse infraction, and I’m definitely leaning towards the asshole truck owner who left his poor German Shepard in the car with the windows up in the middle of summer. 

Breaking and entering and theft aren’t cool at all, and it makes my blood boil just thinking about when some thugs broke into my own house while I was home, but these thugs ultimately weren’t trying to hurt anyone, just steal.  But deliberately leaving a dog in a vehicle in the middle of the summer with the windows closed is basically attempting homicide, in a manner of speaking.  Whether it was a dog or any other living creature, actual life was at stake on the choices of the truck owner, and for that reason, he’s the bigger piece of shit in this story.

Without villainy, what would people talk about?

Giving fandom a bad name – known “ball hawk,*” gets into game reserved for military servicemen and women, boasts about the baseballs acquired at said game on social media, gets immediate backlash to hilarious results

*a person whose life’s mission is to acquire free baseballs at baseball parks by any means necessary, whether they are caught, picked up, found, retrieved via frighteningly obsessive engineering, or begged for

Because I actually detest the existence of this particular ball hawk, I won’t actually use their name.  I don’t want to give them any named acknowledgement, and I honestly believe this person is sociopathic enough to periodically run Google searches on themselves to see what the internet is saying about them.

Anyway, tonight, there was a very special baseball game played.  Frankly, it’s probably one of the only meaningful games the Braves will play in this season, and there’s an extremely high chance that the only reason the Braves were chosen to play in this game is that because they’re simply the closest Major League Baseball franchise geographically to the desired venue.

If there’s one thing China does right

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

It’s punishment; for cheating; on the gaokao.  I use all those semi-colons deliberately, because it’s my duty to goof on China whenever I can, and the truth of the matter is that I still think the Chinese are the biggest cheaters on the planet, and in spite of their refreshingly Draconian punishment when it comes to their national educational placement exam, they still cheat on just about everything else they think they can get away with.

Sure, they still have problems with Little Emperors running rampant throughout the country, with their parents being completely inept, incapable and unwilling to actually discipline their fucking kids from destroying public displays or museum exhibits, but it’s nice to know that when it comes to education, China is pulling no punches with their aspirations to punish exam cheaters.

I mean seriously, even at my most sadistic, I don’t think I could’ve dreamed up a seven-year jail sentence for cheating on tests.  It certainly seems like it’s severe enough to make would-be cheaters think twice about trying it.  Also, it’s kind of amusing to see what a society with lax cheating ideologies try to play the game of trying to outsmart the exam administrators who are going to some big measures to prevent cheating; all while overlooking the notion that if the effort to cheat were instead diverted to actually studying, then everyone would probably ace the gaokao to begin with.

Gawker is Macho Man’s replacement

LOL: Hulk Hogan suing Gawker; again

“The Macho Man” Randy Savage (RIP) was a lot of things throughout his life; professional baseball player, professional wrestler, professional rapper, among other accolades.  However, one of the less glamorous titles in his life, was Hulk Hogan’s bitch.

I don’t say this with any disrespect either, because I loved the Macho Man.  But there’s really no other way to describe the fact that no matter where Macho Man went, he was always, always the second fiddle to Hulk Hogan.  Throughout his wrestling career, not only did Macho Man almost never defeat Hogan,* Macho Man won six world championships between the WWF and WCW; only to lose three of them to Hulk Hogan.  With the last two in WCW, not even getting to hold the belt for more than 24 hours each time, before dropping it to Hogan the night after winning them.

*honestly, I can’t recall a single instance where Macho pinned Hogan, cleanly

Even as a rapper, the one track that most people typically remember is the titular track Be A Man, where the chorus of the entire song is “Be a man, Hogan,” where Macho Man is repeatedly calling out Hulk Hogan in rhyme, but the point is clear that even long after their wrestling careers, Hogan was still implanted firmly in Macho’s butthole.
