Pro wrestlers are accustomed to getting the crap beaten out of them and getting back in the ring the next night.

"I don’t understand people who get so possessive over a public parking space. In this case, I suspect it was the old story of class envy; black unemployable, uneducated youth who blame every negative part of their lives on white people. The same story that has played out in South Africa for decades. Most people outside that region do not discuss how bad it’s gotten"

Or maybe the guy just really wanted to park there.

I wish him well.

But, I can’t help but notice that it looks like the steroids wore off. There’s a LOT less of him than there was when the first picture was taken... Look at his neck and shoulders. They’re normal now.

Good thing those thugs didn’t come across a former wrestler named Meng/Haku. I’ve heard many real life horror stories about things he’s done.

[EEGator]

Totally not on juice in the first pic...

Really hasn’t aged that bad at all.

When I lived in the city of Philadelphia when it snowed a lawn chair in a cleared space meant “Doom on you if you move it!”. Your life will be in jeopardy. That is our society. I played parking insanity for a few years from snow, bad roads, vandalism and nightly window break-ins. That is why I had a beater car.

When he was being born, his mother wanted the a/c turned up, so she pointed to the vent and kept yelling "de grate, de grate...".

This was after seeing a preview of Fantasy Island reruns on the tv.

[Gamecock]

So was he backing in or going head first?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Exactly why a you need a standard capacity gun of 15 rounds or more.
Makes 6 on 1 into a fairer fight.

Mike Moffitt? LOL
