    I can’t watch an arm wrestling match anymore after seeing one a long time ago on Wild World of Sports and one of the arms snapped with a microphone right at their elbows. I can still hear that sound.

    There is another good reason for having an over-developed right arm but I’m not going to mention it here. On the other hand, does anyone remember Charles Atlas and his Dynamic Tension adverts? (Twas a long time ago).

    That’s like when Lawrence Taylor tackled Joe Thiesman in an NFL game and broke both bones in his lower leg. It was a compound fracture- you could see both bones coming out of his leg! My wife (an RN) had to turn away or get sick. They kept on showing it!

    That’s terrible about the octopi. It should be illegal. Respect all life.

    Red wing fans are assholes for doing that. That’s animal cruelty.

    Where does one get an octopus, especially a 30 pound one, in Detroit? Just curious.
