me: “Howdy, ghost of Kimbo Slice! How’re you likin’ Heaven so far?”
Ghost of Kimbo Slice: “What? I ain’t dead.”
me: “Oh.”
me: “Sorry. I assumed you’d seen the replay of your last fight.”
me: “My bad. Say — let’s talk about pumpkins! Pumpkins are always fun, right?”
Geez, Jeff. It’s like you were there this weekend. GD pumpkins.
I remember when I got the Tyson-Spinks fight on PPV. Man, that fight lasted forever, like 3-4 times as long as Kimbo’s epic battle.
You got knocked the fuck out…
Reminded me of the Tyson fight with Marvis Frazier. He didn’t know what hit him and I bet he won’t want anymore either.
Does Kimbo have a brother named Home?
McCain-Obama or Petruzelli-Kimbo, it’s a knockout, and RACIST as hell. I condemn us all. What a fight!
Great display of sportsmanship by both fighters after the bout. Kimbo could have started Obama’s race riots right then and there if he had tried. A real gentlemanly moment that.
Seth Petruzelli has given the Brooklyn Italian guys a whole new pimp swagger for their step these days…
“Hey, yoo taw-kin’ ta me!!! Yez don’ wan’ no uh dis heeeee-ah, ya friggin’ moolie…Fuggheddabowdit! I’ll put you down like ma man Set’ did to Kimbo..Ba-da-bing, Ba-da-boom”
Betcha he shakes hands at his next fight/waiter gig.
Pumpkins are always fun, right?
Yeah, except pumpkins usually last more than 15 seconds. Well, as long as bowling isn’t involved.
Jeff G., you don’t know me (I’m a regular commenter at Patterico’s, ask Darleen) but I sure would love it if, being smarter than me and a movie maven yourself, you would set your sharp skewering sights on this guy:

Or maybe it’s too easy.
I admit, I’ve tried to be his conserva-friend. I’m about to give up. (But at least Emerson doesn’t ban conservative commenters, like his Hollyweird friend Jeffrey Wells.)
Pumpkins in the sky, live fast, die young, leave a mushy mess.
The problem here is that the internet has a liberal bias.
You all really need to get off your high horses and look at yourselves seriously.’
You are in this wierd self-congratulatory mode and smirking at all the silly “intellectual” “elitists”. What a bizarre thing to decide to dislike! You dislike smart people at the top of their class? Elite is not a cuss-word. Elite as in Marines? Elite as in Navy SEALS? WTF is WRONG with you bubbas? You want our country to be dumbed down? WALMART isn’t the enemy but neither is HARVARD.
I think you’re working from a different definition of elitist than the one in common usage. I also think you’re doing it deliberately, and given you’re a fly-by-night pastabot from who knows where, it’s dumb without being endearing.
whoa, IT SPEAKS!
although, it’s also WAY off topic.
The problem here is that the internet has a liberal bias.
Really? Is that in TCP, UDP, or IP?
Perhaps in ARP?
Who was responsible? Cerf? Postel?
Moron.
Oh, and trollboi: I’d bet very a large sum of money that most posters here had a higher class standing than you ever did.
Jeff… That sort of thing hasn’t been worth watching since Dick the Bruiser retired.
Ah yes, those were the days. Back in then you were standing in class, hands on your knees, pleading “yes-Sir, may I have another” again and again. Things haven’t really changed much for you. Same class, in the end, eh troll.
Hmm, really? Perhaps you commonly swap “motherfucker” and “elitist” in your usage. But that’s not all that common, now is it.
Jeff, I saw Gina Carano (sp?) a long time ago Thai kick-boxing. Jesus, the bitch can fight! I saw that she went into that XTC (sp?) group with Kimbo and is now doing the cage matches. She ought to go back to kick-boxing or boxing. She’s one of a handful of chicks who can flat out throw.
Was Dick Bruiser’s middle name really the?
Damn Spies,
I figured you’d know ..
it’s in ICMP.
I mean hello, internet CONTROL.
It’s right there in the name.
I was always more of a Brock Lesner fan myself.
That…that was the most incredible victory in the history of mixed martial arts, that was.
Not. Holy mother of dog, where do they get these commentators?
I’m still trying to figure out how “Reality Based” determined this post was a shot at elitism.
Or why a Hopkins boy and two-time fellow at Cornell’s School of Crit and Theory would find going to particular school “elitist.” Elitism is an attitude — often adopted by those who have no claims to it. But by adopting particular beliefs and voting for the “right” candidates, they think they’ve found a shortcut into the club.
They’re memorizers rather than thinkers.
At any rate…
Carano kicked ass the other night. Looking forward to her match against Cyborg. Arlofsky was phenomenal. Roy Nelson is a very tough fighter, and he got dominated by A’s standup game.
Why does all this commentary make me wish I had a copy of “Nacho Libre” with me…?
Oh God, Slart, my wife and I were howling at the commenters — in particular the guy with the pink tie and the hyperbolic streak that cuts through him like THE SHARPEST, MOST DANGEROUS KNIFE EVER SEEN OUTSIDE OF THE ONE USED TO FLAY THE VICTIMS OF THE MANSON FAMILY.
Then there’s Shamrock, who criticized Arlofsky for no head movement just before another announcer told us that Roy Nelson had landed 1 of 16 strikes.
Then I’m going to go youtube Carano.
She’s so Elitist, and hot.
Arlofsky was an animal. When he is prepared, he is tough to deal with.
Yeah, Carano is wasting her time in the circus cage matches. But that’s where the money is.
She’s got skillz.
I guess Shamrock’s fighting Kimbo next. I predict, though, that since Kimbo got taken down so quickly by someone who’s not exactly leading his weight class, that Shamrock’s fight isn’t going to be that much of a draw after all, and so Shamrock will be scurrying around trying to find a way out of it.
I didn’t see Arlovski’s fight. Nelson is tough, but his cardio has to suck. No one that’s carrying that much weight around can dance for more than a couple of rounds, and no one who works out enough so that he’s not eating for two-plus hours a day can possibly be that heavy. All Arlovski would have to do is dodge around until Nelson got tired.
Oh, just watched it. Nelson is an extraordinarily slow puncher who manages to land on the slow, big guys. Arlovski isn’t quite slow enough. And Nelson is very vulnerable to the fast leg kick. Just leg-kick the guy and keep him off balance, I suppose was Arlovski’s game.
Baracky is an effete Harvard lawyer I think. We just need to be organized more better at the community level was his big Harvard insight. I bet he had the most elaborate Mead Trapper Keeper at Harvard ever. Gay gay gay.

Having been in and around the local gyms for most of my adult life, that is the best fight analysis I’ve ever read.
Nelson has to be the most immobile judoko I’ve seen. And, if there’s one thing Arlovski is, is mobile. Nelson looked gassed by the end of the 1st round.
I kind of like Frank Mir. Frank was hurt badly a few years back, but healed and is doing some good things. Maybe not up to his fullest potential, but he’s a good fighter.
Don’t let Nelson’s physique fool you — he’s a strong, well-conditioned athlete.
Having said that, the fighters only had a week’s notice to train and prepare, which is probably more a burden for somebody like Nelson who likes to eat ribs and corn bread and wash it all down with a case of Bud.
CBS doesn’t like a lot of ground fighting (Nelson is surprisingly good and quick on the ground, a BJJ brownbelt, and he’s also very strong. At one point the ref stood the two up even though Nelson had side control. Unusual, but not if you want action).
Oh, I don’t doubt that he’s strong, and that he’s…well, conditioned. It’s just that that gut isn’t going to carry itself around.
…and I think the ref stood him up because Nelson wasn’t actually doing anything, in side control. Yeah, he’s got good ground, but he seemed to be having a problem using it against Arlovski.
Although breaking things up when a kimura is in the offing doesn’t seem fair, really. I think Arlovski is way too strong, though, for Nelson to just twist him about like a pretzel. You have to get the submission in before he can start to resist, I think.
