i wonder what those ‘alleged’ Navy SEALs Commanding Officer thinks of them divulging mission information to a civilian??? let alone a civilian like “war machine” who’ll put anything on a social website that he thinks will make him seem cool! i have good friends in the SF community, best friends, and if i ever publicly said to anyone that they told me some of their war stories..1st) the group of them would kick my ass. 2nd) the guys would never speak to me again. what they’ve confided in me and let me in on, they’ve done so in confidence that i’ll never speak to anyone about it. Hell, i don’t even tell anyone their names, not to mention NEVER showing pictures of them!!
Did I miss something?
I rarely tweet

I wouldn't mind that.
Are you happy that I finally read your tweet tweet article in it’s entirety Anton? It gave me an idea for my first ever fan post.

ofcourse he would.
He’s several pounds heavier than the guy who arguably lost that controversial decision to BJ.

Het shouldn’t the fighter of the year have to… You know…. Fight?
by kanodogg on Jul 15, 2010 6:23 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Won’t be long till that very fact can’t be ignored. The best in MMA fight three times a year, even more at times. Only reason they wouldn’t is injury, or personal leave for a time.
I really want to see Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

That wouldn’t go outside of one round…even Mayweather, who isn’t a notoriously hard puncher, would be putting lights out, especially with the smaller gloves on.
It’d be fun.

I am going to finally break down, spend the money, and mail Miguel Torres one of those new IPhones that is constantly on the fritz so I can save the world from his obnoxious schtick on the Twitters. I am sure this move will piss off a few people, such as Anton and Frank Mir…..but let us stop and think for a moment about what I would be doing for mankind. I am off to go line up in front of the door of my nearest AT&T store. And if one of the store employees tries to let some alleged celebrity cut in line in front of me for one ala Jason Bateman, I am going to knock his goddamn dick in the dirt because nothing will stop me. Nothing.
I'm better than you. Na na na boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.
Ill go 50/50 with you
He tries entirely too hard to be funny, its you know, not.

But opossums are terrifying.

Seriously I once had a possum come at me like a tiger on crack..
Although it must be pointed out that i live in Australia so even the gallahs are no laughing matter

Oppossums
Down in Florida where I live are insane too. My buddy had one attack him while he was taking the trash out one night. He is terrified if those things. I had one come after me on the golf course. My plan is to trap one of those things and put it on my buddies doorstep and scare the shot outta him. Haha!

I had one run up my leg too
I used to have a flat tin roof over my room & they would just drop from the trees above, slide down the shingles & smash onto the tin part & scare the crap out of me then jump off & land in the tree outside my window. I think they may be the real drop bears

Hate it now. I downloaded the new os4 for my 3G and it’s a pule of shot now. Hate it. They did it on purpose to make me buy a new one.

Damn it Mo
I was starting to like him, because I didn’t hear him say anything stupid for like two months. Ugh…
And I could do with a lot less Canseco or Warmachine, personally. Non-fighter and a dude going to prison for a year… In addition to the two chicks that aren’t even in MMA anymore and it’s like 65% non-MMA.

I think we need to start street teaming UFC events with posters and bumper stickers that say Bring Back Natasha and Logan. Someone who isn’t me, look into this and get crackin.

Miguel Torres: "Step 2. Find a needle."
Miguel, how easy is it for you to “find a needle”? Someone call NASAC quit it’s easy to see that Miguel is juicing.

#ReplaceChandellaWith1JapaneseAnd1BrazilianGirl
get over it, they are never going to bring back Logan and Natasha. nor would the girls probably want to come back. by virtue of UFC name recognition, they both can probably now make more money doing other shit than the UFC would pay them.
plus, wouldn’t you like the opportunity to be made aware of more hot girls? y’alls got tunnel vision. bring on some new asses

Logan pix...
…are from Virgin America’s in-flight magazine. I mean, that’s what I heard anyway. I really don’t know. My friend told me. And whatever you hear, I am NOT stalking her.
Why would anyone want to get rid of their cauliflower ears? They show the world how “hardcore” you are.
Also, whats up with the Beer staffs? Do the get you more drunk when the beer cans are taped together like that?
1. infection risk
2. they’re taping their already drank empties on to the bottom. it’s just to keep track of how many beers each person has had. and then i assume there is beer-staff-swordfighting involved at some point

I've done this once
When we got to about eight we just started whacking each other with them. One of them had a glass bottle on the end which we broke on the garage floor on accident. Then we just started smashing bottles everwhere. I’d say it was worth it.

D) It can/will eventually fuck up your ability to wear headphones

…Jim put his Reality Fighting lightweight title on the line against current UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. Edgar won that bout by unanimous decision to win the title. Three months after that, Edgar made his UFC debut.
During the bout, Jim said he knocked a piece of Edgar’s cauliflower ear off with a head kick.
