    Anybody else see the statue in Joe's hometown they just unveiled?

    Just a few decades after they put up the Balboa one.

    The Brown Bomber is as worthy as anyone.

    I simply cannot believe they put Rocky up...instead of Joe. Unbelievable.

    To be fair, Joe never beat an Apollo Creed. But the important thing is he's getting his due now.

    Nothing fair or logical about it, Boxed ears. Joe was from Philly, he hit the meat, he took on the big boys...and the clincher of course being is he did it for real.

    I thought it was only when you post horrendously bad photo edits involving Winona Ryder and Marco Antonio Barrera?

    This is what happens when you have dry humor without these faces: :lol::D:hey:yep:rofl

    ...And those edited photos are ****ing high quality, damn it. They take me like three whole minutes. That's quality time, right there. :lol:

    Wow. One of the few photos where I don't find Ryder attractive.

    Okay, firstly, no offense, but I can barely tell those are quotation marks. And secondly... do you know how long it takes to carefully paste a gif animation of Calzaghe simulating sex acts on B-Hop onto a Calzaghe picture? Took a long time, but... I stand by it... I would submit it to any graphics design school in the country... I would have it on any electronic résumé.

    See, this started as a nice thread about Joe Louis and somehow you've got me posting my Calzaghe humps Hopkins photo. You know what did it? Your standoffish nature, man. That's what did it. :-( In the end, the important thing is, you've managed to work Winona Ryder into the conversation and I just saw Reality Bites for the first time a few days ago. And I get it. I totally get it. I'm not even going to say anything sexist, I'm just saying that I get it.

    :lol::lol::lol: Quality.

    Check out Great balls of Fire! and Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael...and no, I'm not ashamed that I have a Winona Ryder folder on my Desktop with 200-300 pictures of her in.

    In red: The fact that she was believably playing a thirteen-year-old girl in that is why we're all worried about you.

    In green: I find this completely believable and I'm thinking they will eventually all have a turn as your avatar.

    I'd add that I think Winona and the dog are the only bright spots of this video:
