   I read somewhere a while back that Stallone’s hands are permanently deformed from using the sides of beef as punching bags.

   yeah, he said that in one of the interviews on my DVD. He said something like, “My hands are more like table-legs now …”

   That kind of reminds me…I didn’t read a lot of your Rocky posts because I hadn’t seen the film since I was a kid and I didn’t want your observations to taint my own. Now that I’ve rewatched it, um…this isn’t an order or anything, but are you ever going to create a “Rocky” category to organize them all?

   Please note that the “Rocky” category comes right before the “Stalin” category in my little list. I don’t know what it means – but I think it has SOMEthing to do with Rocky IV.

   And you now owe the U.S. Marine Corps one new keyboard.

   That’s hilarious.

    Nightfly – HA!

    Thank God all that solitary wood-chopping and beard-growing Rocky did in Siberia ended the Cold War.

    All the Soviets, shouting: “RO-CKEE RO-CKEE RO-CKEE …”

    “Rocky ended the Cold War.”

    See if you can say it out loud with a straight face. I can’t.

    Rocky looked at all of Russia using the eye of the tiger, and that was IT.

    “You know.” just cracked me up. How long until you start titling these “Ibid”?

    Mark – hahahahaha Yeah, exactly. Just another day on Sheila’s blog. One day it’s Hamilton, next day it’s Rocky, and you just better be able to segue.

    Ibid.

    Idem.

    All the Soviets, shouting: “RO-CKEE RO-CKEE RO-CKEE …”

    Hahahahah! That’s right – not RAH-kee, but RHO-kee! And fake Gorbachev looking around all alarmed and uncomfortable… Uh, oh.. are they saying “Russkie?” NO?!? We’re losing the Cold War! Soon all of Eastern Europe will want freedom!

    In fact, the one glaring oversight in “Rocky Balboa” is that Drago didn’t move here and become governor of a state.
