I've got a pair of minature boxing gloves sitting on the shelf above my screen right now. The're 2-1/2" long each, well detailed and made of leather.

The're signed by some guy named Jack Dempsey.

I'm being serious right now I have been reading this thread for 25 minutes and i cannot get past this first sentence before i break down laughing so hard i cant see the monitor my stomach hurts right now. I checked 5 times to see if this as scrappleface or the onion in between fits of laughter and it isnt its a "serious" news story.

"It's like the fencing that you see on the Olympics, you know, where they have little balls on the ends of the swords and the fencers wear vests," said Shurden. "That's the same application that would be applied to the roosters."

Now I've heard everything. Has this guy stopped taking his medications? If not, then they should definitely be increasing it, or he should get some serious therapy.
