They played Steve Austin's music and Mini-Cena cane out dressed as Mini Stone Cold and gave Marcus a stunner.

Mempho Mofo @memphomofo.bsky.social · Aug 8

We did a gimmick where @marcuskdowling.bsky.social & I beat "Mini Cena" up and shaved his head.
The next month we did a rap to "My Time Is Now" with the lyrics "Mini Cena's Bald"
The babyfaces came out & said Mini Cena was gone but they had someone new to take us out.

@algetz.bsky.social listening to your story about working with the stiff little person made me wonder if you ever worked with "Mini Cena" in SWVA/Eastern TN.
I worked with him for Stan Lee & the little fucker wouldn't sell ANYTHING for ANYONE until I shoot Mafia Kicked him in the head.

Gee, thank goodness ice is keeping elderly people off the streets and in jail.

My heart is a bruised, pulpy mush these days. Permanently broken.

After they left I realized who he was.
It was the guy from the Mmm Beefy Chef Boyardee commercials.
The guy I was working with said, "Do you know that was?"
I said, "Yeah, the Mmm Beefy kid!"
He said, "Not the guy, the Girl... THAT WAS JENNY MCCARTHY!"

when I worked at a GNC in Memphis this guy & girl came in together.
The girl looked at vitamins. The guy talked to me about protein powder & getting swole.
I recognized him but couldn't ID him.
He & I joked around then he & the girl paid. She used a credit card & signed for everything.

what's the most random interaction you've ever had with a celebrity?

Mempho Mofo @memphomofo.bsky.social · Jul 18

At a dive bar in Boston w a friend. I see a woman who looked like Helen Hunt.
"That lady looks like Helen Hunt."
"It's not."
"Dude, that could be Helen Hunt."
"No way."
The person standing between us leaves.
"Dude, I think that's Helen Hunt!"
"That's not Helen Hunt."

Helen Hunt
"It's Helen Hunt."

oh yeah!
Have you ever had a real Affigoto?

I convinced a coffee shop client of mine to put it on the menu and it sold like crazy!

The best thing about having had a lot of concussions is you immediately recognize the symptoms.

The worst thing about having had a lot of concussions is when you recognize the symptoms it means you got a concussion.

very funny that some of the same people who spent years calling anyone sympathetic to BLM a “racial essentialist” are now up in arms that a ugandan-born south asian man would describe himself as african and asian because, of course, you can only choose one

Weird collective amnesia about everything. I blame schools having to teach "American Exceptionism."

Can't have truth and propaganda.

Mempho Mofo @memphomofo.bsky.social · Jul 3

Seeing conservative Italian Americans jump on this bandwagon of criticizing how immigrants eat is a stark reminder of how few people have any idea of their own history.

Have y'all ever read what they said about us and our food not even 100 years ago?

At some point American Christians must have a reckoning about how their faith has been corrupted, co-opted, and used as a cudgel to beat their fellow Americans.

Fix your shit, Christians.

A frightening number of people like his kids and would 100% vote for them.

Insomnia last night means 3 hours of sleep means migraine today means walking around aimlessly outside in the rain because that's all my brain will allow to calm the fight or fight from the pain so I probably won't sleep tonight.

Yes. This is all because Bush II used 9/11 as an excuse to make Americans less free. And now we see the results.

If you’re not from LA or living in LA you really only have two things you can do:

1. Speak out against the violent kidnapping of innocent Americans, stand up for civil rights & due process, and push back against treating peaceful communities like war zones.

Or

2. Shut Up
