The UFC Vaseline Controversy

"Yes, BJ. And how much Vaseline did they spread all over Georges St. Pierre's body?

(See picture above.)

That much, really?

Wow! That is a lot of lubrication!

And you say that you kept slipping off his body and falling to the mat on your back?

Oh, my! How awful for you! 

You must have felt so helpless, kind of like a pig walking on ice or like the prince in the fairy tale trying to reach the top of the ice mountain!

Well yes, I did read about it in "Rear Naked News", but I thought it was just sour grapes because he blew his reputation as an MMA expert in choosing you to win the fight.

Anyone who uses a picture of Randy "The Natural" Couture to hide behind when reporting news and making his own predictions, which are, incidentally, quite the opposite from the authenticated athlete himself is both a coward and a liar.

Thank God with Grandma Dee using her own picture a reader has no chance of mistaking her for an authentic sports celebrity and knows that they are reading a homely old woman's own opinions, senile though they may be.

Well, BJ, Buddy, I am so sorry I blew the rumors off.

Not long ago I was reporting on Ken Florian's complaints that Roger Huerta used something called "Albolene" to cut weight for their UFC 87 match up.

Ken Flo claimed that it made Roger just terribley slippery and difficult to hold onto during their fight.

Of course that didn't keep Kenny from beating Roger rather handily on that occasion.

Indeed, it is too bad that the Vaseline kept you from beating Georges to death Saturday night.

Grandma Dee uses Vaseline (Lavender scented) on her skin to hold in moisture and prevent irritating dryness.

So far Grandpa Mel has still been able to hang onto her, and neither of us has fallen out of bed.

Just a suggestion, though. The next time you try to beat Georges to death, I mean in the case of a rematch, please don't do it with your face.
