Do you think you want to play mind games with The Rock?
This right here was the golden era of the WWE. So many killers out there that you didn't know what the fuck was going on. The Ric Flair and Macho Man days were great, but I don't think that professional wrestling really started to hit its stride until the late 90s into the mid-2000s. 10-year-old me would be sitting on my couch going absolutely crazy when that John Cena intro would come on. I think for even a short period of time I was always rocking sweatbands on my wrists.
I wasn't able to watch as much wrestling as I would have liked, though. My mom wouldn't let me watch it. Not because she thought it was too violent or out of control. But because we only had one T.V. in the house and her Monday nights were not to be spent watching "Bautista Bombs" on Smackdown.
When I was in the Navy, for a brief period of time I worked with a few other dudes on a maintenance team in the shipyards. I'd say 80% of our work day just consisted of us watching old WWE highlights and arguments and then reenacting them with each other. Like people would be working away and they'd just hear from across the flight deck, "Watch out! Watch out! WATCH OUT!" before one of us performed the most technical RKO on some guy actually trying to get work done. Good times.

It's good to see you,
*"Motherfucka!"
It pains me to say this, but you've lost all your LA privileges. I"m not sure what those privileges entail anymore these days, but you've lost em'. What did you do? I'm not sure, but Marsellus Wallace wants you gone. This email really should consist of nothing but quotes from Pulp Fiction. Not in any particular order, but just one after the other like a citation at the end of your 11th-grade "informative essay".
The idea for this patch actually came to me on my drive from LA back to Florida. I was given strict instructions by Yanne, "Try to think of funny shit." My level of knowledge of Violent Little was slim to none, but I did know jokes about California (Particularly LA.) always seem to land with the demographic, and who doesn't like Pulp Fiction? Seemed to be a "two birds, one stone" kind of play to me.
I think I should be leaving now,
Steven

Well, well, how the hell are you?
Why wouldn't we drop a Tombstone patch "three-some" this glorious Friday?
Besides it being one of the most quotable movies of all time (Which is good for us because that's basically how we make a living.), it's also just a damn good film. But what else would you expect when you cast Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, and Sam Elliot in an early 90's western? If your answer isn't "Magic", then we ain't cool.
I knew a guy in the Navy that had both arms completely sleeved up with nothing but Tombstone-inspired artwork. One day, when we were on duty, it was just him and I in our work center. I asked him, "So, you're a big Tombstone fan?" This guy was a well-seasoned E-4 from Missouri with little to no fucks about anything except getting out of the Navy and I was basically brand new. He turned around and said, "No shit, retard." Those were the only words he ever said to me the entire time I served with him...
All that being said, are you gonna buy some of these patches or just stand there and bleed? If not, it's cool, as long as we're still friends. Because if I thought you weren't my friend, well I just don't think I could bear it.
Best regards,
Steven
