Jews and Kangaroos.. wrestle with this one!

Abe Coleman, Wrestler Known as Hebrew Hercules, Dies at 101 By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Published: April 2, 2007
Abe Coleman, a squat powerhouse of a professional wrestler, billed by promoters as the Hebrew Hercules and known to opponents by the two-footed kick he copied from kangaroos, died Wednesday in New York. He was 101, probably making him the oldest professional wrestler, according to wrestling publications.
. He weighed 220 pounds, stood 5 feet 3 inches and boasted moves that included the flying head butt and the airplane spin.
But his pièce de résistance was the drop kick, a still-common tactic in which a wrestler turns himself into a human missile. Coleman said he learned it from kangaroos on a 1930 trip to Australia.


According to several professional wrestling publications, he once raised Man Mountain Dean, all 465 pounds of him, over his head and slammed him. They fell through the ring to the auditorium floor.
If he raised Man Mountain Dean (above)over his head today, the papers would simply say "Jewish guy lifts average sized American over his head".


And he didn't learn the drop kick from kangaroo's, he learned it from a little known species of marsupial, the Kangajew, a true "mar-soup-ial"

, an animal which can carry chicken soup in it's pouch and keep it warm for 24 hours, delivering it to lost hikers in the Outback, kind of like Saint Bernard's do in the Alps. Jews don't have saints....this'll have to do. One rescued hiker said, "I hope it's homemade" after which the insulted KangaJew beat the shit out of him (above) saying, "I hop all this way for an insult! Of course, it's homemade"

Next up on the card, "The Protestant Pope vs. The Greek Schlomo" followed by our championship bout, "Man Mountain Mohammed vs. Uncurious George, the Human Baboon." Times have changed!









Sweet Jesus...what's going on here?

You've probably read about the sculpture "My Sweet Lord", the six foot tall statue of Jesus on the crucifix, anatomically correct and nude, done in the medium of chocolate. I believe it was dark chocolate too which makes Jesus African, as opposed to white chocolate which makes Jesus a suburban Republican. Maybe that's whats pissing them off. I could see if the artist used, say almonds to portray his nuts, but he didn't.

Hmm. Religious Catholics are in an uproar and frankly I can't figure out why. It's just Jesus. Its still Jesus. There are replicas of Jesus everywhere. Every church has one. Okay, it is Holy Week, but this is no insult. And isn't the typical Easter fun based on candy. Go anywhere and they're selling chocolate rabbits, chocolate chickens...all for Easter. And they've always made chocolate Jesus'.Look at the top picture.

So it can't be the chocolate. I haven't heard whether it was for eating, but it could be considered somehow a little holy...perhaps like communion wafers, a little piece of the soul, but more flavorful. I always had the idea for cheese flavored communion wafers and calling them "Cheezits Christ". I've told priests that joke and they die laughing.



It can't be the fact that he's anatomically correct. Jesus had a penis. Yes, he did, circumcised though it might be! Everybody agrees on that. And the church has been sponsoring nude works for years because they supposedly honor mankind which is supposedly God's greatest creation, though both He and I are becoming more doubtful about that every day .

Take Michaelangelo's David as an example. His wang is prominently displayed and that's done by the same guy who did The Sistine Chapel. Jesus , I am sure, wouldn't have minded a bit.

Here it is....brace yourself........and if you look closely, I think Jesus would have said "Thanks" to the artist.

Frankly, it looks like an Olympic diver whose suit fell off, doesn't it. Or maybe, the broad jump event at The Boston archdiocese.

Reminds me of the old Smothers Brothers routine...about the guy who falls into a vat of chocolate and screams "Fire". They come and rescue him. They ask him how come he yelled ,"Fire". His answer, "Cause nobody would come if I yelled 'chocolate". Now, I guess, they would!
