Another Death. Evan Tanner.


This story is taken directly from cagepotato.com

Former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner has been found dead in the Palo Verde mountain area of the southern California desert. The news was confirmed with Tanner’s manager, John Hayner, who said he learned just an hour ago that the body found was indeed Tanner. He was thirty-seven years old.

“He was in a real positive state of mind, he wasn’t having any drinking problems or any of those types of problems. He was really feeling good about his life,” Hayner told CagePotato.com.

Hayner said that Tanner had gone into the desert on a motorcycle expedition and had run out of gas. Tanner was attempting to walk out of the desert, Hayner said, but apparently didn’t realize how far away from civilization he was and died of exposure in the triple-digit heat. Tanner’s empty campsite was spotted Sunday, and an aerial search located his body earlier this afternoon.

A post written by Tanner on his Spike TV blog told of his planning for the trip, and emphasized his desire to bring only essentials in his escape to the solitude of the desert:

I’ve been gathering my gear for this adventure for over a month, not a long time by most standards, but far too long for my impatient nature. Being a minimalist by nature, wanting to carry only the essentials, and being extremely particular, it has been a little difficult to find just the right equipment. I plan on going so deep into the desert, that any failure of my equipment, could cost me my life. I’ve been doing a great deal of research and study. I want to know all I can about where I’m going, and I want to make sure I have the best equipment.

Hayner told of a man who “marched to a beat only he could hear,” but maintained a positive outlook on life.

“Here was a famous UFC fighter who didn’t have enough food to eat at times. I’d call him just to make sure he had food in his fridge, but he never let it get him down. Starting over was kind of a theme in his life. He hardly ever lived in the same place more than six months,” Hayner said. “He moved out to Vegas and then found it too shallow for him, so he moved out to Oceanside and had a great place, he was learning to surf, and he was really enjoying his day-to-day life.”

News Talk Radio

I was listening to Mr. John Gormley on News Talk 650 the other day, and something struck me as odd. It wasn't in anything he said, but in the commercials.
The first was for a local funeral home. They are celebrating their 5th anniversary. Good for you, 5 years in the death biz! But they went on to thank people for their support... Hmmm, Hey Mr. Johnson thanks for ignoring your doctors advice and having that heart attack?
The next was an ad for a hearing clinic. Cool, people need to hear. But a radio ad? Are you sure you're going to get across to your target audience?
Finally there was some pro-life ad. A whole riteous don't kill your fetus ad. I have no funny angle on this one. That's just offensive. Thanks news talk radio saskatchewan, make those tough choices for the confused youth of today!!

My friend Nokia, I knew him well

I think my cell phone is depressed.
Every time I get down to one bar it starts acting funny, exhibiting strange behavior. It begins to beep and flash. Doing all that it can to kill it's battery, and in essence, end it's life. My cell phone tries with all its might to die.
I can't really say I blame it. These days we are asking too much of this handy little device. It's not good enough to just be a phone any more. Back in the day all the phone had to do was hang out on the wall and keep a family in the loop. Now we need photos, task managers and music with our phones. It's just too much to ask of any device!

People are useless.

I can't imagine how our species ever made it through anything. It's hard for me to even believe we've survived this long. What I mean is, when the fuck did everyone start relying on someone else for everything? It's like nobody does anything for themselves anymore. Our race has turned into a bunch of scared little weaklings who can't do anything for themselves. Why is it so hard for people to learn things on their own? Why is almost everyone always looking for an easy way out in every situation in life? Don't people know that it's life experiences that make individuals who they are? It makes me sick to be around so many people that would rather have everything done for them or explained to them ad nauseum when all it would take is a little time and hard work. I wish I had some sort of conclusion to this rant but I don't, people are useless.

Here's a couple of quotes from Mark Rippetoe:

"The interesting thing is that everybody really already knows this, because there are few examples in life that don’t follow the basic rules of the universe, the ones that dictate the behavior of everything. One of the most basic of those rules is that, with the exception of the occasional lottery winner, you pretty much get out of an effort what you put into it. We’re all quite familiar with this reality, although we are often willing to believe people who tell us otherwise, about exercise and about life. The sooner everybody—both halves of the population—accepts the fact that effective exercise is more like training for athletics and less like lying around on the floor, more about performance and less about appearance, the sooner it will be understood that women really don’t need their own figure salon."

"…we have not spent the last 65 million or so years finely honing our physiology to watch Oprah. Like it or not, we are the product of a very long process of adaptation to a harsh physical existence, and the past couple centuries of comparative ease and plenty are not enough time to change our genome. We humans are at our best when our existence mirrors, or at least simulates, the one we are still genetically adapted to live. And that is the purpose of exercise."

And a Rip Anecdote:

"My favorite happens to be the tale on supplementary equipment. A man insisted on wearing straps for exercises he probably could have gotten away without having worn them. Rip, in classic Rip fashion, decided to start wearing straps to do all sorts of things, including opening doors and going to the bathroom (he would wear one on his "holding" hand, gotta have wrist support for that) until the guy stopped wearing straps completely."

Male Pattern Baldness


Do black guys ever resort to wearing a toupe?

Do they even make non novelty black dude wigs? I mean I've got the afro and the dreads in the rasta hat, but what about a sensible do?

Get Yo Energy Drink...Mutha Fucka!


Are Energy Drinks just what is in style right now? or will they last?
As for me, I pray to Little Baby Jesus that they last...forever.
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a true believer in energy drinks, they are one of the greatest things ever invented of all time. People are always trying to tell me "they aren't good for you", "they have to much caffeine", "they will give you a heart attack". Eat shit, thats what I say, look at all the people all over the world who drink coffee pretty much from the second they wake up to when they go to bed...everyday, ain't no one preaching to them how bad coffee is or how much caffeine is in coffee, so don't tell me what is good or bad for me, I will do what I want.
One of the reasons I believe they are the greatest things of ever all time...they make you feel like a million dollars...and give you energy, what else could you ask for? I also believe that if I can continue drinking these forever, Its not crazy of me to think that they will keep my heart pumping until I see the age of at least 163...thats just what my scientific research has shown for me, results may vary for the individual.

Now for the people who are reading this that have never tried an Energy Drink, I am going to tell you about some of the different kinds of energy drinks, good and bad, and what to expect from drinking them.


FULL THROTTLE: If you dont want the best and dont want the worst, try one of these. Taste good, and you wont look like a faggot. The Black can is Citrus flavor and the Red can is Tropical, and they have a Silver (sugar free) can also Citrus flavored...all get the job done.

RED BULL: First thing I will say about Red Bull is, Overrated. Why? Because, when you go into 7-11 looking for a Red Bull, you have one choice, because no one really buys a sugar free energy drink. Yes Red Bull taste alright, but again you only have one choice, I dont like that, and they cost more than any other drink, i also dont like that. One thing i really like about Red Bull is the hot girls that drive around in the Red Bull cars all day, bonus.

BEAVER BUZZ: Dont be fooled by the name (its pretty dumb) these pack a punch that will knock your socks off. The Beaver Buzz Green Machine Energy packs a whopping 224mg of caffeine, that gets you moving when your feeling lazy. Green Machine Tastes great, but not as good as there Chronic Energy, which has a nice Tangy Grape flavor, just delightful.

XYIENCE: There are only 6 people in the city I live in that can drink these without me thinking they are complete douche bags. Taste Great and work great, and have 180mg of caffeine. The reason i said what i did about these is because idiots see the name Xyience, and immediately relate it to the UFC and think "well fuck, if i drink these im gonna be tough like Chuck Liddell" FALSE! you will not look tough nor will you be tough, but you will look like a chud and everyone is going to know that are only trying to look tough, and they're all gonna laugh at you, they're all gonna laugh at you.

I am only going to write about one more kind of Energy Drink. There are many, many more like Rockstar those are just bull shit (other than Rockstar Punched), AMP, Red Rain, Pink Energy, Bawls, Boo-Koo, 5 Hour Energy (will make you feel like you are going to die), Coca-Cola Black, Cocaine, Crave, Hype, Guru, Fuse, Jolt, Lost, No Fear, NOS, Sobe, Vixen, Talon, Vault, and yes even Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt...just to name few. The last one on my list is Monster.

MONSTER: Intensity in ten cities. Hands down in the top 5 inventions of all time! If you want the greatest tasting drink you will ever drink, grab yourself a Green Monster. Oh yeah thats right, they have many choices of flavors. Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange ad Red. Purple is soon to be realesed. They also have about 6 Monster Javas (coffee Flavored drinks) On average they pack around 140-160mg of caffeine, and all taste good, Green and Yellow being my personal favorites. Bonus! you dont look like a chud drinking these, people see you with a Monster "that guy knows his shit, he's B.A. bad-ass" and you will be able to fuck people up if they are talking shit about you or your Monster. This is the drink that will keep me alive until 163!

I could have kept going for a long time, but i dont feel like typing anymore.
Now that you think you are as smart as me when it comes to Energy Drinks, get off your ass, grab your skateboard and get to your local 7-11 an try one four five six.

p.s. I'd like to continue this and bash sugar free Energy Drinks more...but I guess fat chicks need energy too.

EXTRA, EXTRA!!1


This just in. Hanes "Muscles Shirts" do not contain muscles.
You heard it here first skinny white guys. The popular "muscle shirt" will not add any muscle to your sad physique. Best to embrace the sleeve or hit the gym. This quick fix has turned out to be a fraud.
In a survey of 300 women an astounding 98% revealed that the "muscle shirt" not only adds no muscle, but it manages to give the appearance of a lower I.Q. as well as making the wearer look like a total "fuck-knuckle" -- Their words not  mine.

Aeroplan

I signed up for the Aeroplan card in March. It was advised since I'd be doing a lot of driving with my new job. Since then I've earned 1300 Aeroplan miles. And if you're anything like me you'll think of "miles" as a term used for measuring distance. I thought this was rather handy, and I had planned myself a quick trip to Calgary for a wedding.
Turns out "miles" is just Aeroplan slang for "points". The Aeroplan mile does not equal a real mile. The difference is not a simple Imperial/Metric difference. My 300 mile trip costs 21,000, maybe the school system has failed me or maybe Aeroplan is a fucking asshole. You decide.
