Uganda

you really wanna goto uganda with kony and his kid fighters running around?

I've said it many times over but the last continent in the world I want to go to is Africa. You can tell me over and over that as long as you stay in the tourist areas you'll be fine just like you would be in major US cities. That's all well and good but Africa in general is about 1000% crazier and unpredictable than anywhere in the US. I feel the same about most of Asia, South America, and Central America. If I'm travelling internationally I'm sticking with Western, Northern, and parts of Southern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. Oh, and Canada but that's not really international.

I felt that same way about George "The Animal" Steele.
Once I found out he was a teacher and a regular guy

I went to a show in New Orleans in probably the mid to late 80s, all of 5 years old.

Steele fought. IIIRC, I don't even think he won, but he somehow got one of the championship belts and was walking out with it. I was sitting on and seat right down the long aisle they walk to and from the dressing room and ring.

I wasn't really THAT close to him, but I reached and tried to touch the belt on his shoulder. He stopped and leaned in towards me, at this point probably 5 feet from me, and just yelled:

"MY BELT"



I was completely frightened, probably never been so scared in my life.

[Uuaww]

He's not even in Uganda anymore, he's in DRC and CAR... like 10 people have told me about this in the last few days.

Peay, 3rd time in Africa for me.

My brush with wrestling greatness was in college. We played at Southeast Missouri and they had a WWE show going on the night before. We had to walk through the locker room hallway to get back to the auxiliary gym and a bunch of the wrestlers were just kind of hanging around. The Big Show (He was just "The Giant" back then) was just standing outside one of the locker room doors as we walked by. I made eye contact with him and he said "What's up big man?" and shook my hand. His hand was about as thick as a small piece of pork roast and I'm used to just engulfing peoples' hands when I shake them.
We got to go to the show after our practice. There was a tag team match between Lex Luger and some other guy (I'm sure Biffy or Riccio could tell me who his tag team partner was in 98 but I can't remember) and the Road Warriors. Luger got thrown out of the match and as he was walking back through the tunnel some drunk hillbilly cussed at him and threw his drink and popcorn at him. That guy got escorted out very quickly. The next day at our shootaround some of the arena workers said Big Show had gone back in the auxiliary gym after the show and was shooting around. They said he was dunking and about brought down an entire goal assembly.

You're tempting fate. That's like visiting Compton or Detroit three times.

For the record, I'd spend three nights in Capetown long before I would do an afternoon trip to Juarez.

I want to go great white cage diving in Capetown.

That little island where they do all that launching out of the water looks like an awesome experience.

AJ and I will be at our bar in the Keys, have fun with that, Corey.



It seems like every show nowadays about sharks is filmed in that one location. They were showing it on 60 Minutes just the other night.

[Cnasty]

Whoa whoa whoa, what's this "our" bar in the Keys??

I don't remember Shel signing on for a cut in this bar venture???

Your boys will be about 25 by then, they can be bouncers. I guess that's your contribution.

[shel311]

You have a bad memory. Pretty sure I've been right in the talks just about every single time it's ever been brought up.

[Cnasty]

Well this was Nole and I's venture when we saw our future bar in key west on our boyfriend trip.

Aj volunteered to do Charlie work, I dont remember your job duties besides hanging out and harassing the hot tourists.

Make it free beer and this role, and I don't even need to be a part owner, and I think I'm coming out ahead of everyone in the deal.

[Cnasty]

Throw in the 2 security fellas and my son will be doing the DJing and we have a deal!!

Done.



So I basically get the luxury of free beer, hot tourists, and don't have to do any work. I'm all in!!!
