lord of the (boxing) rings
some jokes about Rocky and more!
dear friends, family, fans of Rocky, non-fans of Rocky, all,
welcome to today! i’m glad you are here. you ROCK.
today, all the funs i share are Rocky-related, for a reason. 1
some i have shared before, a while ago and behind the paywall though,
so now here they are, free for all to celebrate!
please enjoy and thanks for being here!
A) a sly one:
i recently re-watched a sylvester stallone action movie that i love.
and that movie was…
[i won’t leave it up in the air for too long] …
”cliffhanger”!
B) while watching, this occurred to me:
it’s weird that “cliffhanger”
is NOT the sylvester stallone movie
that’s called
“rocky.”
C) lord of the boxing rings:
a good name for a short, magical boxer could be Rocky BILBOa.
D) getting a little R&R:
stallone played Rocky.
he played Rambo.
he played Ross in “the expendables.”
he played Raymond in “tango and cash.”
so…
it seems like he Really wishes his name started with R. 2
E) i glove you:
finally (for now), boxing GLOVES are MITTENS. 3
and those are the funs for the day!

thanks all. love to you and yours always!
the reason is, i am performing in philadelphia (where rocky lives!) this monday and my friend mickey made me this wonderful Rocky-inspired art to help spread the word about it. right above this footnote, see?
fun to remember: sylvester stallone’s first name is “sylvester.”
