OH MY FECKIN’ GOD…
January 16th, 2007
I know lots of people who play the Did-you-know-they-were-Jewish game? The idea is to identify famous people who are Jewish that no one knows is Jewish. Aussie Dave has been posting some real gems to Israelly Cool, but this morning’s offerring caused me to spew coffee all over my laptop. (Can you get coffee-spew insurance?)
Mystrey Jew No. 6:
Was a minor league baseball catcher in the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox prior to his professional wrestling career
Has a father who was featured in Ripley’s Believe it or Not for his ability to do sit-ups for hours on end
Has a brother who also achieved some fame as a professional wrestler
Was “managed” by his real-life wife
Won a number of titles during his career, including the WWF Championship (twice), WWF Intercontinental Championship, and WCW World Heavyweight Championship (four times)
Fought alongside Hulk Hogan, but has a strained relationship with the Hulkster in real life
Released a rap album that was met with scathing reviews (including: the album “defies the laws of physics by blowing and sucking at the same time,” and the vocals sound like “Nick Nolte after a whiskey and sandpaper binge”)
You’ll have to visit the post to find the answer.
Okay – after just learning that someone I used to work with died suddenly way too young, that answer gave me a much needed outloud laugh. thanks. :)
Shalom Jill,
I’m sorry to hear of your loss.
I’m glad that I was able to brighten your day a bit.
B’shalom,
Jeff
oh yeah!!
Snap into that Hebrew National Slimjim!
Shalom Steve,
OK, now I’ve twice spewed coffee on my laptop screen.
B’shalom,
Jeff
