Part of the show was that two “bad” guys would gang up on one of the Von Erich brothers and start beating him up… poor Buster from Montana didn’t know it was fake so he grabbed a folding chair and started hitting the wrestlers with it.
Sometimes I wonder if me and Mike Ciholas are kinda like the wrestlers… Oh, I dunno, I'm kinda thinking one, if not both, of you are like poor ole Buster!!!!!!!  I don’t know either, but when a man employs a parable that begins with ‘I had a friend that had a brother that knew someone special that had a daughter that married a guy, and after all that, took him to Texas’, I start thinking I just need to get back on the tractor.

Username Protected wrote: Michael, I know better than to judge based on an invoice. Way too many variables involved. But if you can determine what work was actually done from 5,000 miles away based on a sheet of paper, more power to you. The invoice is just half the story - the other half has been reported in detail by someone I respect as being extremely precise. And yeah, as a matter of fact, I can get a pretty good idea of the level of pencil whipping going on from a simple logbook entry or invoice, even 10,000 miles away ...

Wonder if the BT sponsors are secretly paying some folks to "air it out" to get clicks and create click bait and site traffic....... Wait, one of them is....
