MARCHIFORNICATION: Ricky Stanzi, American Gladiator

Scene: The American Gladiators Arena
Welcome to Gladiator Arena. I'm Mike Adamle.
And I'm Todd Christensen.
We have a very special edition of American Gladiators for our viewers today, Todd.
That's right, Mike. We've had great matchups in the past. Pro wrestlers against pro boxers.
Retired baseball players against current golfers.
Ohio State grads versus Michigan alums.
Heck, just look at us. Northwestern and BYU.
If we faced off, the winner would probably be "3 Bud Lights"
LOL
LOL
But never before have we had two members of a presidential ticket face off against each other in Gladiator Arena.
Never, that is, until today.
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...
I don't know if I can do this, Coach.
I mean, J's my friend. He's my protector. He saved me from a Korean prison.
How am I supposed to tackle him? How am I supposed to joust him?
How can I possibly beat him?
You will beat him because you are a competitor, Ricky.
I have trained you for this.
I have taken you from scrawny kid to Marchifornication champion.
The shadowy figure emerges...
You will do this for me, Ricky. You will do this because you have no other choice.
These two athletes are very similar, Todd.
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.
Well, who hasn't hooked up with Sexycop.
She made my violate my Honor Code, I'll tell you that.
Let's get to the action! Today's contest will begin with...JOUST!
You can do this.
I can do this!
You can beat him.
I can beat him!
See it. Believe it. Make it happen, Ricky.
Stanzi will go first. He'll face...MAL-EMAN.
Who?

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

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

Thank you!
Normally I’m just a lurker. But I get what is happening now. Not actually. But it helps to pretend.
The lines between reality and surreality are often blurred here.
And hopefully it stays that way.

I'm just gonna say that
Stanzi is definitely lactose intolerant. Warm milk is not in his best interests.
Love your avatar stoutgiant. Looks like that kitten scalped a Fraggle and then wore it in victory.
In other news, I now vote Birk Berentz for everything.
Nah.
It’s more like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..." - Teddy Roosevelt
I may make need of this "Birk Berentz" he seems an effective cajoler.
Battles are won with a hammer, wars are won with a scalpel
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.

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

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
am i the only one
that sees an ohiohawk post and immediately scrolls to the next comment?
(nottryingtobeadick)
Um, not trying to be a dick?
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.

That's what you think.
In the next installment Ricky wakes up a second time to Pakibomb dressed up like Mao, wearing Sexycop’s face as a mask, and torturing a room full of Korean girls with a Hawkeye football helmet, right before Trololo takes them all to Beaver Stadium to watch Fergie have sex with Tim Curley’s man-wife.

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!”
When did J Leman become Red She Hulk?
Did I miss an episode or something?
I drank a fifth of whiskey and ate a wheel of cheese (with rind)
And this makes perfect sense now.
