- Happy Birthday to former boxing champion Roberto Duran who turns 70 today.
- “Yes, it’s true I once knocked out a horse. It was at a fiesta in my mother’s home town of Guarare. Someone bet me a bottle of whiskey that I couldn’t do it.” – Roberto Duran.
@Peterson: That was funny but also fake and Mongo was stupider than the horse. I bet you relished a big plate of beans from the camp fire scene. Aroma always stimulates the appetite. Like Lili said “It’s Twoo”
@Jeez: Here’s a prank for you to try. Punch yourself in the mouth as hard as you can, I bet you can’t knock yourself out.
Stop being so easily offended
Normally, I’d say bring-on the boxing news, but in the case of Duran, I have to say “no mas.”
Bragging about punching a defenseless horse. That is real class. Also it does not say much about what The Ten finds funny.
From T. Peterson: You never saw Blazing Saddles? When Mongo knocks out a horse? Hilarious! One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
