MARCHIFORNICATION: Ricky Stanzi, American Gladiator

Arena_1_medium
Scene: The American Gladiators Arena

Adamle_icon_medium Welcome to Gladiator Arena.  I'm Mike Adamle.
Christensen_icon_medium And I'm Todd Christensen.
Adamle_icon_medium We have a very special edition of American Gladiators for our viewers today, Todd.
Christensen_icon_medium That's right, Mike.  We've had great matchups in the past.  Pro wrestlers against pro boxers.
Adamle_icon_medium Retired baseball players against current golfers.
Christensen_icon_medium Ohio State grads versus Michigan alums.
Adamle_icon_medium Heck, just look at us.  Northwestern and BYU.
Christensen_icon_medium If we faced off, the winner would probably be "3 Bud Lights"
Adamle_icon_medium LOL
Christensen_icon_medium LOL
Adamle_icon_medium But never before have we had two members of a presidential ticket face off against each other in Gladiator Arena.
Christensen_icon_medium Never, that is, until today.
Adamle_icon_medium That's right, Todd.  Today we will see Freedom Party presidential nominee Ricky Stanzi compete against his own running mate, J Leman.

Meanwhile, in the locker room...

Stanziicon_medium I don't know if I can do this, Coach.
Stanziicon_medium I mean, J's my friend.  He's my protector.  He saved me from a Korean prison.
Stanziicon_medium How am I supposed to tackle him?  How am I supposed to joust him? 
Stanziicon_medium How can I possibly beat him?
Silhouette_icon_medium You will beat him because you are a competitor, Ricky.
Silhouette_icon_medium I have trained you for this.
Silhouette_icon_medium I have taken you from scrawny kid to Marchifornication champion.

The shadowy figure emerges...

Ferentzbeard_icon_medium You will do this for me, Ricky.  You will do this because you have no other choice.

Star-divide

Adamle_icon_medium These two athletes are very similar, Todd.
Christensen_icon_medium You've got that right, Mike.  Both these guys are former Big Ten football players.  Both are extremely patriotic.  Both are prone to overgeneralization.  Both have hooked up with Sexycop.
Adamle_icon_medium Well, who hasn't hooked up with Sexycop.
Christensen_icon_medium She made my violate my Honor Code, I'll tell you that.
Adamle_icon_medium Let's get to the action!  Today's contest will begin with...JOUST!
Ferentzbeard_icon_medium You can do this.
Stanziicon_medium I can do this!
Ferentzbeard_icon_medium You can beat him.
Stanziicon_medium I can beat him!
Ferentzbeard_icon_medium See it. Believe it.  Make it happen, Ricky.
Adamle_icon_medium Stanzi will go first.  He'll face...MAL-EMAN.
Stanziicon_medium Who?

Malibuleman_medium

Iconreman_medium You will lose.
Stanziicon_medium J?
Iconreman_medium I am not J.  I am Mal-eman.
Adamle_icon_medium Referee Earl Hebner will start the action.
Hebner_icon_medium Competitor ready!
Iconsexycop_medium Gladiator ready!
Stanziicon_medium Sexycop?
Iconsexycop_medium It's Sexyref now, baby!
Iconsexycop_medium /blows kiss
Stanziicon_medium /is distracted

Joust_medium

Stanziicon_medium /knocked off pedestal
Ferentzbeard_icon_medium RICKY NOOOOOOOO!
Stanziicon_medium /falls to mats below
Adamle_icon_medium And Male-man wins!
Iconsexycop_medium FINISH HIM
Stanziicon_medium Wait, what?
Iconsexycop_medium FINISH HIM
Iconreman_medium /raises lance overhead
Iconsexycop_medium FINISH HIM
Iconreman_medium You. Can't. Win.
Iconreman_medium /brings lance down on Stanzi's head
Stanziicon_medium AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Stanziicon_medium AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Stanziicon_medium /wakes up
Stanziicon_medium /sits up in bed
Stanziicon_medium /gasps for air
Stanziicon_medium It was only a dream.  It was only a dream.  It was only a dream.
Blackicon_medium Are you all right, baby?
Stanziicon_medium Yeah, I'm fine.  Just a nightmare.
Blackicon_medium Do you need anything?
Stanziicon_medium No, really.  I'm OK.  I just need to...wait, who is this?
Stanziicon_medium /flips lightswitch
Stanziicon_medium AAAAAAHHHHHH
Ferentzbeard_icon_medium Would you like some warm milk?
Stanziicon_medium AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Wow.

Maybe I’m just clueless, but I’m thoroughly confused on what just happened.

Thank you!

Normally I’m just a lurker. But I get what is happening now. Not actually. But it helps to pretend.

I'm just gonna say that

Stanzi is definitely lactose intolerant. Warm milk is not in his best interests.

So Stanzi wasn't confused when he woke up with a man

But was confused when it wasn’t the man he was used to hearing?

I’m suspicious of him now…

The only person Stanzi wakes up next to is Lady Liberty.

This reminds me of John Prine.

Not a direct quote, but for some reason it reminded me of The Great Compromise.

(“I used to sleep at the foot of old glory…”)

by Eyeheartfreedumb on Mar 29, 2011 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

its the libraian in me

and once a long time ago
on the north side of chi in a joint called somebody else’s trouble
i played with prine,
1 song
i didnt last long
dont go there
perhaps one of the craftiest american lyricists
i prefer sabu visits the twin cities
deal with it tim
The Great Compromise
I knew a girl who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossomed in beauty
And she was born on the fourth of July
Well she lived in an aluminum house trailer
And she worked in a juke box saloon
And she spent all the money I give her
Just to see the old man in the moon

Chorus:
I used to sleep at the foot of Old Glory
And awake in the dawn’s early light
But much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
I was a victim of the great compromise

Well we’d go out on Saturday evenings
To the drive-in on Route 41
And it was there that I first suspected
That she was doin’ what she’d already done
She said “Johnny won’t you get me some popcorn”
And she knew I had to walk pretty far
And as soon as I passed through the moonlight
She hopped into a foreign sports car

(Repeat chorus)

Well you know I could have beat up that fellow
But it was her that had hopped into his car
Many times I’d fought to protect her
But this time she was goin’ too far
Now some folks they call me a coward
‘Cause I left her at the drive-in that night
But I’d druther have names thrown at me
Than to fight for a thing that ain’t right

(Repeat chorus)

Now she writes all the fellows love letters
Saying “Greetings, come and see me real soon”
And they go and line up in the barroom
And spend the night in that sick woman’s room
But sometimes I get awful lonesome
And I wish she was my girl instead
But she won’t let me live with her
And she makes me live in my head

(Repeat chorus)

Long Live the Pellican Whore - like FOREVER

OH is strange, to be sure, but if you’re going to scroll past and “not try to be a dick” how about scrolling past and actually not being a dick? Because it looks here like you’re trying to be a dick.

1.) Did the top wobble or did it straighten itself after Ricki screamed?

2.) I love seeing Hebner in here, but I was praying for a reference to Adamle’s horrible stint commentating ECW in 08 or whenever. He was awful. “Jamacian me crazy Kofi! WHAT A LEG KICK!”
