I just watched this last night after work. I have been following Mike Tyson’s career basically my whole life. I was a big fan of boxing when i was in high school. I was a big fan of his until be basically became a weirdo and then i started watching him because he was so bizarre. The movie is really well done, and does not hold any punches. Mike Tyson tells it like it is, takes blame for what he has done wrong. He admits to his mistakes and life, and laments on the harm he has done. The well seasoned Mike Tyson appears slightly punch drunk, and seems to have a face full of scar tissue giving him an almost Shar-Pei appearance.

What I learned about Mike Tyson is something i basically always knew. His “weirdo” stage was manufactured. A silicone persona to increase the purse. I will not say that i gained any less of a fear of Iron Mike, I would still crap my short pants if i had to square off with him. I did gain an appreciation of Mike Tyson the man, the boxer and the tainted legend he will always be.

The first time I heard the name Jane Fonda was in 1981. My elders at the time were enamored with the movie “On Golden Pond”. I was enamored by the pristine condition of the 1950 Chris-Craft Sportsman boat and fishing at the time. Yeah I suppose Jane Fonda was in the movie, but I didn’t pay any attention to her. I was more interested in the Pond, and saddened when old man Fonda flipped off the front of the boat and smacked his dome on a rock.

My second encounter with Jane Fonda was sometime shortly thereafter, when someone in my household received a Fonda workout tape. I was a wee lad at the time; however her precariously tight outfit caused an exodus of blood from one region of my body to another (I was an early bloomer). Needless to say, as my pubescent endeavors became my favorite pastime, I watched the entire tape, trying to stop the VCR at the perfect frame. Success was to be mine, but I would not share it alone. I had a date with Barbarella doing crunches in slow motion. Wink Wink.

My third run in with Miss Fonda was sometime years later. I was a grown up, watching some TV after a long night of drinking and womanizing. I was watching this gorgeous woman in some whacked out space movie. Little did I know, I was watching Jane Fonda in the 1968 Barbarella. My lord was she gorgeous. I prayed that one day someone would call me the evil Durand-Durand and hire someone looking like her to chase me down. I was in love, but the love fizzled out as I learned more about her.

I learned about her visit to North Vietnam in 1972. Jane Fonda traveled to our enemy’s country during wartime (the war ended in 1975) and did several propaganda radio addresses calling American political and military leaders “war criminals”… She posed on top of an anti-aircraft battery (Aimed at our forces) for propaganda pictures. She proclaimed that returning POW’s stating they were tortured were ,” military careerists and professional killers” who are “trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to the law.”
If you were not familiar with these events, don’t worry, she did an apology tour to sell her autobiography in 2005, so it’s all good.

Just the other day I was perusing the wires when I saw this juicy nugget about the now 72 year old Fonda. She is featured in V magazine “who cares about age issue”. Along side Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver, Fonda poses in some kind of gross Faux Sexy shots. Well, whatever, I have a mother and she’s their age and just as beautiful. More power to these ladies.

I realized something after seeing a 72 year old Jane Fonda spread out bent over a table in leopard skin. There are some “pretty, important people” in this world, and there are some pretty important people in this world. When a “pretty, important person” becomes old and her looks change to something between a cross between my aunt Bevy and Nancy Reagan, their importance fades just as drastically. What was once a kook,(but id hit it) now inspires a gag reflex and permanent eye damage after seeing that pose. She will always be Hanoi Jane to me.

I am still baffled by the amount of media this woman gets. I really need to get a lunch with her publicist.

I was treated to my first Ewok leg back in 1985 after the release of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. It was a cool autumn evening and i was out gather firewood when i was attacked by the Teddy Bear like hoodlums.

There was a small scuffle and after being bitten multiple times and being speared in my Vajayjay i snapped. To make a long story short, i got a hold of one of em and took him home and ate him. The legs are the best part. ( Anti-Ewokians can substitute with a port tenderloin )

Go Ewok hunting,(avoid their spears) catch one, bring it home and marinate it, i like to use a marinate of Soy Sauce (say what you will about my Asian fetish),honey Dijon mustard,olive oil,garlic,salt and pepper.

Grill on medium heat, 15 minutes on each side. Don’t over cook, or the party in your mouth will dry up real quick.

This was a quick dinner, so we just fried up some Perogies as the starch.

God, grant us the… Serenity to accept things we cannot change, Courage to change the things we can, and the Wisdom to know the difference Patience for the things that take time Appreciation for all that we have, and Tolerance for those with different struggles Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.

I saw this nugget of technology at Bed Bath and Beyond. Yes i was with my wife. So this is a perfect gift for anyone who already admits they have issues.

Here are some of the cool features that come with this nifty unit.
