    Hehe....but you had to resort to threats of force! I don't know what a "Rock Bottom" is, but it sounds damn painful.

    Hehe. Haven't you ever watched WWE? ;)
    The rock bottom is a signature move by "The Rock" (you know, stars in mostly crap action movies), where you grab a running man, grab him by the shoulders, hoist him in the air, and slam him flat on his back. But as every wrestling move, it looks much much worse than it actually is. The one being tossed, has to play along somewhat of course. So I dont know how much of a physical threat this really is... ;)

    I did it on my friend once when we were pretty drunk on a hard basement floor, and apart from having some air knocked out of him, he was completely alright to his own amazement. The onllokers wondered if I was mad, and whether to call an ambulance :)

    Can you smell what the rock is cooking? :D

    Peace

    Yes...injustice ;)

    I'll have to practice that move. My half-Nelson is a little rusty too. :)

    If justice is not served by having big guys dishing it out in the ring I dont know what does. Any argument can be resolved by a few friendly tosses through tables and the odd hit on the head with a chair. ;)

    Better get practicing. I have some extra pounds for you to handle too.

    Peace

    But that it is an in'escapable' fact that he confined animals against their will and wrestled them into submission. He was the Crocodile "Hunter." Doing this to any animal as form of entertainment, in my opinion is not a way to convey a message of conservation and respect for nature.

    He confined animals against their will for their own good. Whether that be to move them into a better habitat, or educate the masses about them, it was always for the greater good of the animal. Sure, he entertained... but he educated as well. It's like saying giving vaccinations to people is bad because it hurts for a few seconds.

    And no, he wasn't a crocodile "hunter." That name was given to him by higher-ups in television to attract viewers.
    It's a town full of losers and I'm pulling out of here to win

    Ha Ha......I wish.........many miles to go my friend, many miles to go........and lots of schooling. I would rather chase animals in a climate more to my liking.......the artic or the taigia or the boreal forest.

    I most admit that I have been physically part of an alligator capture......he was in the zoo........had a foot problem.......I sat on his back/tail area after the top-jaw rope and duct tape were applied.....and helped carry him to the truck..........600 lbs + was his weight.
