Bernd 'Beanpole' August

[funso banjo baby]

why 'do' you insist on 'using' quotation marks 'in' these weird places ?

It has been reported that "quotation marks" have created only a "minimum" of injuries over the last few years. The "study" that was underwritten by the "Dole Foundation" was conducted under very non bias "parameters."

It is estimated that less than 1 in 100,000,000 or "less" or "fewer" (if you prefer) have suffered any psychic or spiritual trauma from the casual use of quotes in blogs, books, newspapers, and/or online academia.

Mental trauma was reported to be under 1 in 20,000,000 instances (the highest incident rating reported)

There have been no reports of physical trauma that could be considered to be "directly" contributed to the use of ("casual" or "formal") quotation marks.

(Outcomes of the closely linked study on "parenthetical" statements is due out by weeks end.)

Yeah I think he's have given the 75 Ali a real tussle, especially as he jabbed him silly in an exhibition. Too bad Richard Dunn flattened him and got the shot instead.

Edit: I mean decked him twice and closed his eye, my mistake.

So this guy beats back a fig newton and this makes him ready for prime time in your estimation?

Thin very thin.

Mr. Flump,

You did know that Bernd 'Beanpole' August was the 'tallest' Heavyweight on the Planet at the time.

And he did beat Wendell 'Fig' Newton more impressively than Ron Lyle did.

German Fight Promoter - Willy Zeller had 'big plans' for the Beanpole.

I didn't know that Il Duce no. That's why I come on here, to be educated and occasionally thrown my two pennies in.
