    There's something that bothers me with that pic. I think it's because I've always thought of Ernie as the big spoon.

    Met my folks out for dinner. As we got to dinner we saw a car hit another car in the parking lot. And then it hit another. I tried to stop the offending car. He waved me off and peeled out if the parking lot. The dbag driving was wearing a Tennessee Vols shirt. I snitched in his bitch ass. Never trust a Vol.

    we're with friends from the neighborhood at their river house this weekend. the dad, who's 3-4 years older than me, has terminal brain cancer, which sucks indescribably. there are moments, though, when levity sneaks in amidst the sadness.

    for instance, one of the symptoms of his illness at this late stage is a tendency towards confabulation. he tells the most amazing stories about his life, as if they're completely true. i sat with him last night on the back porch while he regaled me with a detailed, riveting story about the major drug ring he ran as a younger man. i wish i'd taken notes.

    cancer fucking sucks, friends, but there are times when humanity beats it.

    I just returned from Hawaii so still 6 hours behind mentally and watching the west coast feed of boxing now. Really enjoying Willie Nelson's work right now (the fighter, not the country guy).

    I am not terribly familiar with Golovkin, but trying to get back into watching the HBO presentations. I have read about his heavy hands (boxing term not quite as fun as the soccer/rugby usage of 'clean heels'). His opponent has not exactly been on a tear but a body shot KO is not something a lot of guys have on their resume, especially at that weight. That usually happens at heavyweight when the opponent is quite soggy around the midsection.

    I think my favorite boxing slang is 'beard'. Jim Lampley used to use it all the time when a guy was getting pummeled around the head/face but wasn't falling. I still remember Vitali Klitchko avenging his brother's knockout to Sanders and Lampley exclaiming "Corey Sanders has a beard!"

    Serioulsy, Willie Nelson's moniker is "The Great"? He couldn't have gone with "The Highwayman" or even the nonsensical "The Red-Headed Stranger"?

    Some of the other boxing monikers tonight are pretty ho-hum:

    Brandon "Flawless" Gonzalez

    Thomas "Tommy Gun" Oosthuizen

    However, I do like "Mack the Knife" for Mackline. And a quick Wiki of Golovkin revealed an Appolo Creed-esque number and variety of nicknames:

    -Triple G

    -Good Boy

    -God of War

    -Kazakh KO King
