being a real wise guy! There are no grudges amongst us here in Quarryville.
Besides, my peak athletic years would have been in the 1980s and maybe even into
the 1990s, as I turned 21 in December 1979. It wasn't always the case of no
grudges around here. Every once in a while I go back into the archives and I
read some of the barbs sent my way by the infamous dynamic duo of Foolface and
the Koo Koo Klock. These two guys (or one guy) had a grudge agaisnt me big time
and I always believed that he (they) didn't like me because I stood up for my
principles regarding a topic I don't want to bring up here. |

Kent,you two wild and crazy stooges!Your last two posts where good stuff!Jimmy
D.those fights you listed are practically the same ones I've been thinking about
for years!We could have a tourniment!Let everyone vote once a week on these
matchups you listed.You pick the matchups and count the votes.Oh,by the way
,Jimmy,not to start any trouble here in Quarryville,but I have a few friends and
relatives in Calif.I've heard that Kent used to be a rompin,stompin,badd ass in
his younger,athletic days before he became a wealthy, sedentary sports writer
who doesn't even care how poorly his cable co.performs.I'm not sure if foolface
or Forest Ward really want to mess with him.Hey Kent,just kidding!You really did
have a pretty good dialogue going with that strange,angry dual personality who
used to haunt this and the Frazier site.You handled it with good grace and
humor.Although I do think that guy often went to far.My athletic days are
far,far behind me.I turned 21 in Vietnam in 1968.After that I specialized in bar
fights.I didn't tangle with guys who laced on gloves and actually knew how to
box.That's why I love this site.You are indeed correct,their are no grudges
here.Everyone gets treated with respect.However,if you are really determined to
beat up Forest Ward and Foolface,then Iwill gladly hold your coat!|

CALIFORNIA||RONNYRAINS@YAHOO.COM||||10|Kent:(u knucklehead).I FIGURED YOU AND
FOREST,would get a kick out of S.T.O.O.G.E Promotions,thats all,Maybe got
carried away with the matchups ha!Anyway I tried to list the best,I could think
of for the 70's,just off the top.They are all lucky Ron LYLE WAS A 30 YEAR OLD
ROOKIE!!How about Quarry's 4th place finish in the 74 superstars,just a few more
points,and he would have been in the years end finals!! his 28 points were
better than any other boxer's total.How ABOUT EARNIE SHAVERS 10.5 100 YARD
DASH?|
