Probably just out for a pleasure cruise at night through pirate-infested waters.

TIL.

tugboat's first tv victory was over that jobber.

When I think "relaxing vacation" the first thing that pops into my mind is going on a cruise ship operated by the folks who think that cruise ships are actually meant to be amphibious.

When I think "super awesome relaxing vacation" I think about getting on the same cruise ship as above, but I make sure that I'm cruising through open ocean with nothing to look at but the pirate ships that get closer and closer every day.

iron_city_ap		2012-02-28 11:12:44 AM

The Costa Allegra has 636 passengers and 413 crew members on board.

Well that seems like an efficent way to operate a cruise line.

Linkster		2012-02-28 11:14:21 AM

Why does faux News insist that they are "pirate infested water". I don't believe they are. Seychelles?

trotsky		2012-02-28 11:18:06 AM

Tugboat better watch out! As he's pulling that cruise ship, the Pirates may bring out Earthquake for a quick heel turn!

YEAH BABY, BETTER WATCH OUT, THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE ON THE HORIZON!

Iron Mike Sharpe was the best damn jobber the business has ever seen.

I hate that I got this reference.

richw		2012-02-28 12:07:25 PM

I LOL'd when I read this...

Photos released by the Seychelles on Tuesday showed hundreds of people milling outside on the decks of the Costa Allegra. Taken by an Indian navy plane, the photos showed calm seas and an upright ship.

stewmadness: ManateeGag: don't you mean TYPHOON!

No, no he doesn't.

My post was an obscure refernce to when the Tugboat Thomas first turned heel and came out as Typhoon. Back when the wrestling just showed clips and was set up kind of like a talk show. Most of the people from that panel are dead now.

No, genius, follow-up.

Do try to read the article before sounding the repeat alarm. That way, you won't look this ridiculous...

My husband was trained by Mike almost 20 years ago. Said he was a hell of a nice guy, but VERY OCD about personal hygiene.

A follow-up that includes exactly the same information that was included in the original story, and which doesn't have a follow-up tag, and which links to an article with no updated facts even though things have actually changed since the posting of the original story, as discussed in the original Fark thread?

What a great follow-up!

Somehow I suspect I'm not the one with reading difficulties......

Honestly, I just wanted to post the Shockmaster pic. However, I can see you're cranky and need a nap, but can't go to bed because someone is wrong on the internet.

It's alright, the mean old articles you don't need to read will still be here after you've had your bottle and put your feety pajamas on.

I'll just feed that through the translator........

OK, so you're saying that you you were wrong, feel a bit foolish, you're very sorry and you won't do it again....

That's fine, that's all I wanted to hear.

Look doofus, every time someone like you raises the "IT'S A REPEAT!!!11" waambulance alarm, the thread is later de-activated, but only AFTER liters get a chance to read through and comment on it. Someone replies to a post? Too damn bad, repeats are no longer greenlit threads, P.S. get farked, liter trash.

In other words, stop wrecking it for the broke!

That's not too uncommon for people that have been doing any form of grappling for a long period of time. You'll only get staph once before you wash everything everyone in your gym comes in contact with everytime. You may still get it again, but you try your damndest not too.

/Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to be at the gym in 26 minutes.

There's washing everything down, and then there's two hour showers.

/hubby may have been exaggerating, but from what Mike's other students have said, not by much

Indeed.

Many of the real oldtimers wound up developing vision problems from dirty mats and the like.

You seem angry. Would you like a couch to lie on?

Farker1 states X.
Farker2 insists X is false, responds with scornful remark.
Farker1 reasserts and proves X.
Farker2 responds with further scornful and confusing remarks.

You seem to be taking this all AWFULLY seriously.

Has anyone checked the lifeboats for the captain?

Combustion		2012-02-29 04:12:22 PM

I was 10 and saw Tugboat after a 'rasslin match in Yakima, Washington. He was sitting in a car in the parking lot. I was excited of course, I'm all "WHOO!!!" doing a Tugboat imitation. I tried talking to him, but he was way, WAY more interested in my older sister. I thought "Wow, Tugboat likes my sister!!! If they get married, I'll have Tugboat for a brother in law!!'
Didn't work out between the two. Sad.

He said Tugboat, not Jerry Lawler.

Oh for fark's sake, just call it Carny Cruise Lines and get it over with.

Leeds		2012-03-01 09:28:43 AM

I need a vacation soon. I kind of assume that ticket prices for Concordia cruises are getting slashed. Can anyone back that up?

If I could go for an all expenses Caribbean cruise for pennies on the dollar, I very well might entertain the idea. I might look silly wearing a life jacket 24/7 but I can photoshop that out of the pictures, right?

// Note- There is nothing that would make me want to go on their famous "Pirate Watching" cruises, only their Mediterranean ones...
