Georges, Now Will You Listen to Grandma?

Georges, now that you are as disgusted with BJ Penn as I have always been, will you release me from my promise (on Yard Barker), not to talk bad about him?

I am sure that all my readers know that I am not really any relation to you, and although I am old enough and would be very honored to be, I am not your grandmother.

Using the name Grandma Dee simply reflects how much I love being a grandmother to six lovely children whom I adore, plus I give grandmotherly advice to anyone who will listen.

Hopefully you will listen to me now.

Although I have heard that there are no snakes indigenous to Hawaii, I believe I have discovered a nest of them.

Yes, I am referring to BJ Penn and his associates who have small reptilian brains and cannot see that you beat BJ fairly and squarely (although "fairly squarely" sounds much cuter to Isabelle and me), with the help of no one and definitely no use of ingested or externally applied substances.

All of the true MMA experts and knowledgeable fans know that the superior athlete won the fight.

Being a farm girl myself, I know BS when I see or hear it and BJ Penn & Co. really are adept at spreading it!

Now can you see that I know what I am talking about when I am talking about BJ Penn?

He is not your friend; aren't you sorry now that because you "liked BJ" you warned me to cease and desist with my scathing comments and sarcasm?

Much to Grandpa Mel's concern, Grandma Dee is not afraid of snakes and has picked them up and taught all her grandchildren how to catch them and pick the snakes (from our property) up and hold them without getting bitten.

Of course I have also printed out pictures and educated the kids on which snakes are safe to pick up. I have killed the ones that aren't safe.

BJ Penn is the worst kind of Hawaiian snake which will strike you unprovoked and when you are least expecting it.

You can't say that Grandma did not try to warn you.

If there are snakes in Canada, a fact I cannot at present recall, even if they are poisonous, I can show you how to deal with them safely.

With the BJ snake who did not go the full five rounds (for fear of losing or death?), I guess I should have encouraged you to kill him while you had the chance and it certainly did look like you were more than capable of actually doing it.

There's just some critters not to even mess with, Georges, and I would place BJ up there with the badgers and wolverines; same category in Grandma's opinion.

If you meet with Penn again, which really should not be necessary, this time my advice would be to show no mercy.

Even with it's head cut off completely, a snake can still bite you.

Sorry BJ, but you did promise that the last fight was "to the death" and you are the one who threatened "to kill Georges", who liked you enough to ask mean old Grandma Dee to show mercy.

My gloves are off now and BJ Penn shall not receive mercy any more.

* And Georges, say "Hi" to your folks and Shari and give them my regards!

As always, Love ya, Grandma Dee
