Ah!

Yes, another danger of skimming is you tend to assume things. Getting hit
by chairs = wrestling[1] to me. I didn't relate Example Bob to My Bob. He's
currently sitting in the closet, because (in theory) we're moving in a
month, and what used to pass for a house is now just a bunch of rooms with
boxes and furniture in odd places (Because we're finally finishing
renovating, also.). No hitting Bob with solid objects. He's the delicate type!

[1] Well, part of wrestling. There's room for a few La Magistral Cradles,
the odd Enzigiri, and occasionally a clean pinfall. But don't tell Vince
Russo.[2]

[2] No, you're not supposed to understand this footnote unless you
understand wrestling.

Don't think anybody EVER told Russo. They certainly didn't tell most of his
broadcast team!

Yup - I do! It's the one thing that I disliked about SR: how it dismissed
pro-wrestling.

Hulkin' up with the best of 'em!
