He was too little for football...still is. So, he and his buddies (one now a Marine, and another headed to the Chair Force in a few weeks) pondered Soccer. Yes...they do play that game here in Louisiana.<br /><br />When Phil told me that he and his buds were gonna go out for the Wrestling Team, I was a bit concerned. Lots of queers in wrestling...just sayin'...<br /><br />But, I almost drove off off the road laughing when he said that his buddy, Robby (the Marine) decided he wouldn't be caught dead with them grass fairies...so they all settled on rasslin'!<br /><br />Still in all...I'm sure it's a fine sport.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-42104659665623994482010-06-23T16:55:31.543-06:002010-06-23T16:55:31.543-06:00...when somebody smashes 'em in the face with ...<i>...when somebody smashes 'em in the face with a stick of wood.</i><br /><br />Or composite carbon fiber/kevlar sticks.
