Gary Coleman Wants You to Drown

I know that Gary Coleman is 47, and got arrested for fighting with his wife, and maybe I'm a little nostalgic for the Different Strokes days, but I feel sorry for the little fella when Blondie McLawyer starts going for the jugular (she starts smelling blood at about the :45 mark).



You know he thought about punching her. Just for a second.

It's a great rant, but it's kinda hard to look tough when nobody can even see you storm off. Seriously, he disappears below the desk there. Awww....

R.I.P, Captain Lou


Hard times today for the Wrestling world, as icon Captain Lou Albano passed, years after managing superstars like Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and other guys who wore multicolored tights.

I'll always remember him as getting a wicked arm bar dropped on him by 89-pound Cyndi Lauper in that one video that I can't even watch for more than 10 seconds now. That chorus is already bouncing around in my head just from thinking about it.

Funny thing is, this guy's name came up this weekend in a random conversation, one of those 'what the hell happened to...' conversations. I guess we've got our answer. I'd be pumped if I live long enough that I can get away with wearing a shirt with my own picture on it.
