The End Of Tyson?

WASHINGTON - Mike Tyson’s career apparently ended in yet another shocker Saturday night when he quit on the stool after taking a beating in a foul-filled sixth round against unheralded Kevin McBride.

Tyson lost for the third time in his last four fights, and once again he faded badly as the rounds went on before deliberately head butting McBride in a desperate attempt to end the fight in the sixth round.

“I don’t have the stomach for this anymore,” Tyson said. “I most likely won’t fight anymore. I’m not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighters.”

Tyson was out of gas when he was pushed to the canvas as the sixth round ended, his head stuck between the first and second ropes. He stayed there for several seconds before finally untangling himself from the ropes and wobbling back to his corner.

When referee Joe Cortez came by to look at him, his corner told Cortez the fighter could not continue. Cortez then went over and raised McBride’s hand in victory while he still sat on his stool.

Tyson, meanwhile, just sat on his stool blankly watching McBride’s celebration, a white towel draped over his shoulder. When he got up to congratulate his opponent, McBride kissed him on the left cheek.

“I could have gone on but I thought I was getting beat,” Tyson said. “I don’t think I have it anymore.”

Lance Armstrong Will Retire After This Year’s Tour de France

Local Austin icon, Lance Armstrong has announced that he will retire from cycling after this year’s Tour de France. He is a class act and has done a lot for Austin and Central Texas. His girfriend Sheryl Crow is a bit of a moonbat however.

He has been catching flack in the media about using performance enhancing drugs lately, that is always happening to him. I really don’t think that he uses them. They have tested him a blue-zillion times and never came up with anything. Zilch, zip, nada.

Good luck to Lance.

Texas Motor Speedway Update

Hot damn, we have the fastest NASCAR track in the world in Texas now. Take that Atlanta! The drivers damn near need g-suits to keep from passing out.

Qualifying results for the Busch series race at Texas Motor Speedway had just been posted Thursday evening, and pole-winner Shane Hmiel was studying them.

Why was it, he was asked, that the four fastest qualifiers were all relatively young guys?

Hmiel issued a bit of a chilling answer.

Because, he said, none of those four drivers had wives and children to worry about.

The implication being, of course, that TMS is a nerve-tester.

I hope they don’t make them put on restrictor plates.

The speeds at Texas have not climbed past those at Atlanta. What has happened is that the speeds at Atlanta have sunk below those at Texas.

The track surface at Atlanta has aged and seasoned. It has become a little slicker and, hence, a little slower.

Last year, the top qualifying time in the spring race at Atlanta was 193.575 mph. For the fall race, it was 191.575 mph.

At the Texas race a year ago, the qualifying speed was 193.903 mph.

Hence Texas’ right to proclaim itself as the circuit’s unofficial fastest track_even if the Atlanta race came back to log a faster qualifying speed this year.

The Samsung/Radio Shack 500 is today at 12:15PM on FOX.

Update: Greg Biffle wins in a backup car. Many caution flags.

Gratuitous Shark Post

Since Mike and I are considering spending Memorial day weekend in Baltimore-I decided to check out theNational Aquarium’s website.

While there I got to take a quiz to find out just what type of shark I was.
Yeah it was torture-but SOMEBODY had to do it.

The results of the quiz were that I was THIS creature.

I soooo disagree. I’m definately more like THIS Little Guy.

And you’re all jealous.

War On Pussy Update

OldCatMan’s Days could be numbered ....

MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin residents support a plan to legalize wild cat hunting, according to voting results released Tuesday.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty.

At meetings across the state Monday night, residents in 72 counties were asked whether free-roaming cats should be listed as an unprotected species. If so listed, the cats — including any domestic cat that isn’t under the owner’s direct control or any cat without a collar — could be hunted.

So, if OCM happens to go out in Wisconsin without his shock collar on, watch out!

Headlines

**** You should feel good about yourselves.  You’re in an elite company that 97% of Americans do not belong to.

**** Bed wetting criminal coddlers at Amnesty International are annoyed that the number of death penalties carried out went up last year (I guess they’ve not heard the world’s population has gone up, too?!?!)

But they crow about how the number of death sentences in the US went down---without ever once acknowledging the fact that our crime rate has ALSO gone down.

Figure lie and liars figure, I guess.

**** You may have read about that ranch in Texas that allows you to shoot your game from your home computer?  Stan LOVES that idea!

Anyway, W.VA. is considering banning all online hunting.

Stan will tell you all about it.  You may not even have to ask him.

Stan, the floor is yours.

What’s A Day Without Some Pussy News?

Are you tired of seeing so many pussies in your back yard eating wild birds?

So is Mark Smith, in Wausau, WI.  He wants to enact legislation allowing him to shoot wild pussies.

Of course, the Pussy Club crowd are hissing and spitting and scratching and threatening to kill HIM.

His reaction?

“Maybe I am emotionally inept, but I don’t understand the reaction these people are having,” he said. “I guess they need to be put in a room with a bunch of these cats.”

Yeah, Mark, “emotionally inept.” If that’s the case, you’re in good company.

The wild pussies are responsible for the wanton assault, torture and slaughter of between 47 to 139 MILLION birds.

Hey, I like a nice pussy but feral pussy?  Shoot it.

(notice I tried to make a distinction between “feral” and “wild” in my description of pussies.  For those who may care.  And have warped minds.  And wonder which version of pussies I may be referring.  That is all.)

There ain’t nothing like laying in your bed, fast asleep, surrounded by pussies.  Especially when they save your ass from becoming toast.

Goes to show you, man should never be without a pussy nearby.

Who says old pussy isn’t worth having?

Not the Ozzies.  They are posting about a $2 million reward for anyone finding one of these old pussies.

Last I heard the Tasmanian Devil was pissed off.

Really Odd Bits

Another example of socialized medicine at its best. 

And we wonder why people are always saying Brits have horrible teeth?

Check this out.

Somehow I can not see an American going up to our President and handing over their teeth.

Remind me never to ride horses in Australia.  I could get attacked by birds.

They always said you could go blind from it.  Apparently there may be SOME truth to the saying except the manner of execution leading to the blindness is different.

So the next time you grab for the “little blue odd-shaped pill” ask yourself this:  “Do I get my rocks off or do I go blind?  Rocks off?  Blind?  Rocks off?  Blind?  Rocks off?  Blind?”

Remember, only you can prevent blindness.  On the plus side, if you can’t see what you’re humpin’ then your chances of getting any improve, right?

Re-defining, “going clubbing!”

And don’t forget to wear your fur hat.

It’s bad enough you can’t find a dentist in England.  But apparently you can’t find cops, either.

So the next time you’re there and you get robbed, do the investigation yourself. They don’t have time.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
