Methinks this is an issue with Gene’s generation, not just Gene personally. Most of the lusers chasing my daughters don’t appear qualified to do much of anything beyond going for a new high score in Call Of Duty.
No doubt Leo loves Alex, but I doubt he will want to get married until he’s in a position to independently support the two of them. No way will he want to try living as newlyweds in Mom’s trailer - or at least I hope to God he has more self-respect than that. :)
PlaidWolf - you are totally correct. One of the most interesting flights I’ve ever taken was a commuter flight I shared in the late 80s with a number of wrestlers - Randy Savage, Elizabeth, George “The Animal” Steele, Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, Honky Tonk Man, and a couple of others - who had done a bout in Nashville the night before and were traveling to their next bout. Their social dynamic was a total hoot; guys who were bashing each other with folding chairs the night before were sitting side by side joking and comparing notes on the bouts while waiting on the flight.
FYI for those who weren’t aware: wrestling isn’t fake (not in terms of the physical requirements, anyway), but it *is* performance art. :)
mblase - and, of course, you have multiple references on hand to document “ordinary violent crimes” that have endured continuously for a year or more (i.e., the equivalent of a tour of duty in Iraq and/or Afghanistan)….
Heckle and Jeckle didn’t. :)
