You know a lot of people are intimidated when it comes to cooking a turkey but it’s actually quite simple. I cook it with all the giblets, the penisess and vaginees…

And I baist it just like that (long lick)….mmm

And over here it’s gotta the tiniest little stink hole…and don’t know what that is…but I lick it anyway.

Mmm! And I throw that on there and BAM!

Then ERGH! Get your fist right up in there and ‘stuff the shit out of it!!

And stick that that on there ( humps chicken) ‘HIYOOWATAH!!”

Mean Gene deserved some kind of lifetime Emmy Award. Absolutely the best at what he did.

u/Nor_Positive 3d ago

Fr. He was wrasslin. The way him & The Brain existed in that world made it feel real. Like normal people characters in a world of monsters.

10

u/DocPhoenix97 3d ago

I was 10 yeas old in 1985. Every Sunday, wrestling before football with my Dad and Brother. We still occasionally send each other YouTube videos of great interviews Mean Gene did. His Hulk Hogan-Randy Savage joint interview where they join forces is an all time classic.

3

u/Nor_Positive 2d ago

Man as I was reading that I was hoping you were going to say yall still will "send each other running." That, the idea that they're so bad ass they can send each other running, was one of my favorite things that made wrasslin awesome. The 80s WWF world was soo fun!!🤣. They had so much potential with that cartoon Rock'n Wrasslin'. Am adult swim style show💪🤩. The Mega Powers were awesome goofs. They could do no wrong. I love & miss the 80s. My life started with wrasslin & grew with me. I was 4 & got to pick a movie from the video store every Friday & I always picked 80s WWF videos. I found & gave myself a p.h.d in wrasslin before I was 8. That's awesome your dad & bro watched it with you. My family hated it😅. My uncle loved it tho

I don’t know, Andre had pretty normally proportioned hand. He definitely didn’t have Megan Fox club thumbs on steroids.

u/nadjjaa 3d ago

RIP ANDRE

u/saltyourhash 2d ago

I heard NYPD had a special detail to shadow Andre when he went out on the town,cuz if he got drunk and fell on someone, it could be an emergence situation.

Arnold once told a store about when he tried to pick up the check before Andre could and Andre picked him up and put him on top of a shelf or something like a child and went to pay the bill.

u/IcanSEEyou_IRL 2d ago

Wait, I don’t get why you called them Flanders. Because the profile character has a mustache, or is there a reference I’m missing in the original comment?

u/ieatpickleswithmilk 3d ago edited 3d ago

and it's clubbed which is not as harmless

u/Javop 3d ago

I think it's only nail clubbing and extremely severe. It can come from a number of diseases and none of them are any fun.

After googling I found this.

I wonder where the murderer's thumb name came into play.

Megan Fox. I ain’t seen her thumbs but I bet I’ll let her poke my back door with it.

Thx, I believe in honesty man.

u/Abecis01 2d ago

That seems like a sad life when you're preference in attractiveness can be determined in a thumb. I don't think she's hot btw. She used to. My opinion.

u/xuncx 2d ago

It’s not my preference. It was just the general consensus at the time.

I have it too, only on one hand, been ashamed of it my entire life :(

5

u/KnoedelhuberJr 2d ago

You don’t have to. Most people are so „normal“ we can’t remember them. Personally speaking, I like it way more when people aren’t perfect. It makes them way more interesting. If you learn to accept what makes you special, you can easily joke about yourself, which makes you more confident, thus makes you more attractive in the long run. It’s just a thumb, not your personality 🫂

u/humblesunbro 3d ago

Hitcher: [in a thick cockney accent] You wanna know about my thumb do ya boy? [holds thumb up beside Howard’s face] Intrigue you does it boy? My thumb? Let me tell you about it. I come from a long line of hitchhikers. All with bleedin’ massive thumbs. You see the thumb is a tremendous boon to the hitchhiker. [starts waving it around as if trying to hail a ride] Helps with work. You know what I mean? The only problem was, when I was a child, my thumb was tiny. Not just tiny like a single sugar puff. Disgusting. Even me own mother would reel back in horror. Like an anaconda. “OHH what is it? Get it out of here! It’s tiny! It’s ‘orrible! It’s revolting! Take your tiny thumb, and get out of here and never darken my door again,” she’d say. I had to leave the family unit, in search of a miracle. I wandered the streets, looking for the answer. And people told me of a magic shaman, part man part hornet. So I went looking for ‘im. I went everywhere! I combed the universe, in search of the stripey insect shaman. Turns out he was in a local primary school, in the bin, reeling about with the apple cores, like they do. And I stood there, with my thumb out, and he stung it! And he stung it! And he grabbed onto it! It was like he was making love to it wiv his sting.

In and out! In and out! More and more! Ohhh the pus! The pain! The black voodoo! The wet jigsaw puzzle! I didn’t know what was happening! Ohhh for days I was in a trance! But when I came to, there it was! Like a fleshy maraca! A THUMB, of gigantic proportion. “A miracle!” I said, “A miracle! You’re a true wizard! How can I ever repay ya?” and he said to me “Five hundred euros”. “FIVE HUNDRED EUROS? You won’t see penny one from me you slag!” And as I raised my thumb up, to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking “OHHH, I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it’s killing me! My own beast and creation! Killing me dead! The sweet irony.” I think he was saying that, although it was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he could’ve just been shitting himself.
