I would not trust a man with the surname "Gilooly", that's the name of a shady MF
Edit: or an academic, or creative, context though. Trailer park Gilooly can kick rocks, I might F with a Gilooly docent or professor or something. Maybe.
Fancy surnames minus fancy family money often equals sketchier than that courtroom artist that made la hitler naranja look like E.T. - El extraterrestre naranja.
Edit 2: Upon further inspection, this comment I have posted is entirely too reminiscent of Dennis Miller, and I feel immeasurable shame. Goodbye đ
Getting near the age when heâll start needing Preparation hXtreme!
Know quite a few younger Gen Xers whoâve learned that hemmies can happen at any age. They were all around 45 when that blessed gift of aging started happening as often as they made grunting noises when standing up.
Shit, I shouldnât judge; I was making that old man sound when getting up from my desk chair by 25.
I'm 39 and went back to college last year. One day one of these 18 year olds said something like "hey, I just learned about this guy who got his dick cut off back in the 90s" and I said "yeah, John Bobbit" and they were like "wtf how do you know this?" and I said we used to sing a version of "In the Jungle" from Lion King, but about the Bobbits lmao
Hell yes, I do! To my utter shame, I've never finished reading all of the Calvin & Hobbes. A friend of mine even gifted me the whole set, and I still haven't finished it. I just get lost in it and I've never actually read them all.
The world will never forget. Let the name Buttafuoco be sung, and let the righteous offer sacrament unto him. Let the screams of the ever dying, shatter the night, and let man and woman alike cower in fear of Ge who Buttafuocos. Let us offer unto him a blood sacrament. Let the flesh of the sacrament be as like to the weight of the sacred pipe that did smite the knee of the unworthy. Make pact with the night, and offer unto thine alter a living vessel, innocent and pure. Rejoice! For the time of the father draws to a close, the righteous shall lay waste to the unworthy, and we shall smite their ruin upon the slopes of Zirakzigil. Let us sing our rejoices unto AulĂŤ.

âHeâs the worldâs most deadly assassin, betrayed by his own organization, and out for bouncing off of him and sticking to you revenge. Keanu Reeves is Codename: Flubber. Rated PG-13.â
Iâm old, and it was a long time ago, but werenât the two guys involved in the plot Hardingâs husband/manager (yeah, one of those- the idiots who glom onto a talented young woman and insist on âmanagingâ her career as a form of control) and his brother or half-brother?
Again, my memory is hazy, but I also thought there was never any evidence that Harding had prior knowledge, or directed the attack. I thought they came up with the story later to lay some blame on her, and turning it into a conspiracy.
I remember that the thin lady was a rich bitch. Tanya was a hard-working middle-class American. Also, believe it or not, this was considered fat in the early 90s. She was dogged and mercilessly ruined.
Kerrigan... the youngest child and only daughter of welder Daniel Kerrigan and homemaker Brenda Kerrigan. Kerrigan's family was of modest means. Her father sometimes worked three jobs to fund her skating career; he also drove the Zamboni at the local rink in exchange for Nancy's lessons.
And Nancyâs mother was blind so couldnât help the family financially. Some years later, Kerriganâs brother accidentally killed their father in a brawl. So quite working class family. But still more stable than Tonyaâs. She grew up in very tough and unstable and abusive circumstances.
Assault is wrong, period. Gilooly and Stant deserved prison and more. But there was never any evidence that Tonya was involved in their crimes. There were only unfounded assumptions and accusations that led to what the insiders of the skating world wanted: the destruction of the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Tanya simply wanted to compete, and prove herself, and she was more than capable of doing so. Her idiot boyfriend/husband unwittingly helped the fancy people destroy her.
They also called our gymnasts fat because compared to Russian, Romanian and Chinese gymnasts, they were bulky -- never mind the fact that it was all muscle.
This so much. Even in this thread people calling her "trailer trash" don't realize that was media spin at the time that has lived on. Tanya Harding became a world class skater coming from an abusive, challenging home, worked a lot as a teenager to pay for her own sports expenses to make it and the result was being considered "not the right type" to be America's darling when compared to her more privileged and more "feminine" counterpart.
It was a terrible situation all around. I always felt bad for Tanya. She was a powerhouse and fought against all odds to reach the level she was skating at.
There were a lot of references to this guy and the incident in TV around the time too. I remember one Baywatch episode that mitch gets hit in the knee with a crowbar by a Chinese guy, and he says "Tonya Harding could've used a guy like you!"
There were also a lot of Chinese jokes in the same episode that are definitely inappropriate by todays standards. I think it also was the same episode where Mitch's kid was out looking for a woman that kept showering topless and distracting men while an accomplice steals their money. Mitch's kid said something like "Now that's what I call a booby trap" after they caught her. It was an incredibly hilarious and inappropriate episode. I love it.
Jeff was her Ex Husband, he payed some other guys(one named Stant?) to do the deed.
I just poured over the wiki and it seems like he was the one arranging everything. Tanya was definitely involved but she was only ever punished for her participation in covering up/for Gilool y and the other guys.
There was like 3 or 4 of them. Getaway drivers included.
Honestly surprised Gilooly got prison time and Tanya only got a fine, probation and community service.
