It's possible that they were worried that long ties gave mean guys like
Gerry and Observer (read Forest Ward) something to strangle them with.
Maybe they didn't want to dress like Al Jolson, or the guys on Laugh In,
or Glenn Campbell, or Richard Nixon, or those who attended tea parties with
Eleanor Roosevelt. I haven't seen any bad guys in Iraq wearing black
bow ties, so we know that they aren't Black Muslims. No black bow ties there,
although it would improve on the towel look.I don't think OJ was wearing
a black bow tie on the night in question, and I don't know what Marion Jones's
druggist wears. When I was a stupid kid, I wasn't wearing a black bow
tie every time I was naughty. Actually, Ernie, that is a really good
question. What IS the relevance of the Black Muslims wearing black bow ties (and
short sleeved shirts) ?Maybe Black Muslims aren't into auto-eroticism
and therefore had no need for long ties.Another question. Why do guys
like Gerry and Observer (Forest) not wear black bow ties ? And that
brings me to an important point. Forest - apart from having idealogical and
religious differences from you, what real harm did the Black Muslims do ? Were
they terrorists, rapists, bank robbers ? Or were they just misguided guys who
thought Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble created mankind.But I'm sure
you have comprehensive notes on all Black Muslim atrocities, including those by
the baby burning arch devil Muhammad Ali, so please fill us in on them.
Thanks. |

Flitstone and Barney Rubble didn't create mankind? Now what am I going to tell
my kids if I ever have any?Ernie, Amos Lincoln was a good fighter who
maybe stayed around too long. He had a good record but he ended up losing a lot
of fights in a row to fighters like Sonny Liston, Karl Mildenberger, and Thad
Spencer. He was just one of those guys who seemed to have a lot of talent who
was mishandled by management. He never really fulfilled his potential. Early
in his career he was already fighting eight rounders against more experienced
figheters after less than ten fights. That can ruin a fighter later on, burn
him out. I would really have to double check his record but I am pretty sure it
was at least less than fifteen fights that he was in with some very tough
guys.I don't know anything about his management, either they didn't know
what they were doing or they didn't care.|

teach you something: Fred and Burnie together couldn't create anything. Fred
andVilma did create manking. And Burnie and Bettie also. At least, in Italy
works in this way. Maybe in USA the things are different, I don't
know.Ernie- Amos 'Small car' Lincoln wasn't 6'4 or 6'5 ! Boxing record
archive says he is a 6'2 midget. And, truth for truth, Andre' wasn't 7'4, he
was around 6'7. Lincoln wasn't even close to be 230 lbs. I don't know why
they called him 'Big Train'. Maybe only because he did use a big train to go to
the fights.|

everyone think of the Tyson fight? I must say, I was very surprised by this
one. I guess I shouldn't be shocked because Tyson hasn't shown much for about
15 years, but still, I expected a walkover and Danny Williams (wasn't that
Danno's name on Hawaii Five-O?) booked Tyson!Really, for everyone who puts
Tyson (even in his prime) as an alltime great, this just deteriorates his legacy
even more. He was an intimidating young knockout artist and beat up on a lot of
tomato cans (and a couple decent fighters including the shell of Larry Holmes,
who in his prime would have horsewhipped Tyson), then reached the pinnacle by
flattening cruiserweight Michael Spinks because Spinks was afraid to mix it up.
Guys, Tyson was a great and fast power puncher, but let's not talk about him in
the same sentence (same paragraph maybe, but not same sentence) with Ali,
Foreman, Marciano, Liston, Holmes, etc. He never ever showed the heart of a
truly great champion. He never rallied when he was behind, or got up off the
