Jake the Snake in a road rage: The oddest part about this for me though is that it took the police a month before they ticketed him!?

"Plummer acknowledged cutting off a vehicle because he was in a hurry to deliver a check to charity from his foundation." I love it. Man, what a great excuse! Now I know what I'm going to use next time I get pulled over by the cops. "Well officer, do you really want these albino orphans to starve or do you want to let me go?"

I'm so disappointed the article isn't about this guy.

Never Play with a dead snake. Is it really dead , or just playing with you ? Red on black , ok jack, red on yellow and your a dead fellow.

A friend of mine got pulled over for speeding once when he was coming from a kids' Christmas party where he'd been playing Santa Claus. Still in costume, of course. So the trooper pulls him over, looks at him, and says, "So now I've got to be the asshole who gives Santa a traffic ticket, is that it?"

I'm with HATER. I'm disappointed/ relieved.

At first I wasn't sure what Hater and yerfatma were talking about, but after some googling I learned that there is some guy out there using this as his rasslin' name. Considering that I haven't actually seen a rasslin' match in close to 40 years I hope they will forgive me for accidently leading them on.

Jake the snake is a classic. I am confused though who needs more professional help. The guy who wrestles with a giant snake or the guy who fall spart any time the game relies on him.

The DDT is one of the greatest moves of all of time. Anyone who did not witness this move is in the heat of a match, clearly has missed out. God bless Jake the Snake and his hot sidekick Elizabeth.

The best DDT was on Danny Davis (ex ref) in the Survivor Series around 1986-87! As far as Plummer...the road rage may have happened. It probably stems from the ass kicking he got from the Steelers defence in the AFC Championship game! He has brain damage!

I thoght Elizabeth was the Macho Man's old lady back then. He also played minor league baseball if I'm not mistaken.(The Macho Man not Jake the Snake)

I am confused though who needs more professional help. The guy who wrestles with a giant snake or the guy who fall spart Definitely the former. Say what you want about Jake Plummer, he's not addicted to crack.

The macho man stole Elizabeth back in the mid-south league(new orleans based).This was around the mid 80's.

The Macho Man (real name Randy Poffo) was a catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, I believe.

real name Randy Poffo But was his brother truly a genius?

I always wanted to see Miss Elizabeth end up with George "The Animal" Steele. Now that was a great story line!

I thought this thread was about the master of the DDT not some football player. You very bad man.
