He didn't actually need any clues Casi. There's probably a pretty good chance of being right at any time. Posts: 5737 | Registered: Oct 2004

There shall be no mention of Black or his pseudo-wrestling movie. And that is the last word on the subject.

I personally haven't worn stretchy pants since one time in my high school wrestling days... our team actually had some that were part of some really old gosh awful uniforms... The JV squad I was on ended up having to wear them one weekend (we had squads going to 3 different tournaments the same weekend and the varsity squad had to take two sets of uniforms -- the regular black singlets worn by the JV's as well as the gold singlets worn by the Varsity -- thus allowing the Varsity to look cool by having seperate "tournament" and "finals" rounds singlets for their squad) got laughed to death by the varsity guys because the JV coach was late and the freshman team's coach took the JV backup singlets...
Stretchy pants, real wrestling (freestyle / greco-roman), and leg hair do not a good combination make!
Nacho Libre? I don't know... I'm torn... of course, my family is probably the only LDS family in the US who hasn't seen Napolean Dynamite... Posts: 2402 | Registered: Oct 2005

Huh, if you don't see a movie because everyone else is seeing it and then find out that there is a group of people NOT seeing it because everyone else is seeing it, should you watch it or just watch part of it? How does one remain a nonconformist? Posts: 3274 | Registered: Mar 2006
