Hearing Nothing at the moment.
Here's a fascinating story about the famous wrestler Andre the Giant, and his amazing feats of fortitude -- not in the wrestling arena, but in the realm of drinking. Apparently the man could drink like no one before or since, which led to some really interesting situations:
A very green rookie wrestler named Hulk Hogan toured Japan several times with Andre and witnessed the Giant’s alcohol consumption first hand. According to Hogan, Andre drank, at a minimum, a case of tall boys during each bus ride. When he finished a can Andre would belch, crush the can in his dinner-platter-sized hand, and bounce the empty off the back of Hogan’s head. Hogan learned to count each thunk, so he could anticipate when Andre was running low. Whenever the bus stopped, it was Hogan’s job to scamper off to the nearest store, buy as many cases of beer as he could carry, and make it back before the bus departed, a sight that never failed to make Andre roar his bassoon-like laugh.
Just imagining Andre the Giant plinking cans off the back of Hulk Hogan's head is enough to make me giggle for the rest of the day. Yes, giggle. I'm man enough to giggle. Although not man enough to drink an entire case of tall boys on a single bus ride. What's more, I don't know that I would want to be. Nor should you. As I said in the headline: Kids, don't try this at home. Leave that sort of alcohol consumption to seven foot, five inch, five hundred pound professional wrestlers. Your liver thanks you in advance

Ironically enough, i just saw Hulk Hogans Reality Show for the 1st time. I can't imagine him having to run errands for anybody. :)

As they say in New England.... The Bear is a worthy adversary.... until he swims in front of the Mako.
