No, faithful readers. The beautiful young woman pictured above has absolutely nothing to do with this article. However, one could argue that she obviously does watch what she eats for breakfast, judging from her beautiful body. Most commendable.
When I awoke this morning (actually at 2:24 PM, which today was my morning awakening), and could not find my daily allotment of Oatmeal, I became so enraged I just had to write this article about how seriously young fighter and hugger, John Polaknowski feels when certain unknown fighters removed the marshmallow charms from his daily choice of Lucky Charms breakfast cereal.
Messing with one's own or someone elses's food appears to have become the theme for this contribution to the UFC's reality show, "numero ocho" (I am at times multilingual, when my MS is not messing with my memory and I did have a photographic memory at one time, according to one of my sociology professors who tested his classes for a study he was doing with certain questions on his tests which detected that phenomenon).
Young Mr. Kingsbury's suggestion that John get revenge on these unknown jokesters by rubbing fecal material on each individual "marshmallow charm" in the next box, has assured that I will no longer buy that particular brand ever again for my grandchildren.

I hope someone high up in the FDA takes note on all this food contamination occurring on the UFC show and hands down some legal edict on prohibiting allowing such acts to be televised to prevent the young and innocent viewers of the show from mimicking these atrocious pranks and harming their peers, parents, and siblings, as well as preventing future food tampering in supermarkets.
Consumers need protection from such heinous events in my opinion. Plus, not to mention that I want my own food source pure and protected from such unscrupulous people.
Food tampering may or may not have had an influence in John's consequent loss to George Roop.
More correctly though, since it was Dana who brought it up, the judges were responsible due to a third round not being required to prove who deserved the win after a very even fight which John admitted should never have been left to the judges to determine the winner.
Those darned old judges get it wrong at least 50% of the time, which is not a good endorsement for what goes on in the UFC fights which do end in decisions.
How strange that the judging continues to be such an issue and is yet unresolved. One would think that since there exists such a negative opinion on the judges' decisions, something would have been done about it by now.
Yours truly has written an op-ed regarding the judging in the UFC and wishes that some solution would come forth to settle the issue. What is taking so long anyway?
In conclusion: You can piss in someone else's fruit salad plate and put sperm in your own sushi (knowing full well that someone else is going to be eating it), but do not mess with the cereal that is, as Shane Nelson said quoting the Lucky Leprechaun, "They are magically delicious!" and perhaps as effective in guaranteeing a win in the octagon as the now infamous GSP nipple tweak.
In an unrelated area, Frank Mir mentioned on this episode when discussing his fighter George Roop hyper-flexing his finger by catching it in the cage in practice, "We are not baking cupcakes here!"
My opinion of Frank's remark is that he is jealous that Noguiera's team baked him two birthday cakes and prepared a lovely and varied birthday meal, while his team has made him "squat."
It is simply another jealousy issue of Frank's.

I just had a chance to sit down and watch episode 10 tonight (which doesn't make sense considering I haven't had to work since Monday, I got a surprising amount of ZERO done with all my free time). Anyway, I kind of agree with the judges on this one. Roop for sure had the first round, and I think he did just enough to grab the second, I did however want Polakowski to win. The one thing that shocked me was Junie Browning's thought on Polakowski. Browning has stated his dislike for the whole red team, called Rolando Delgado a nerd, and gave Phillipe Nover advice on how to beat his own team mate, Dave Kaplan. When it came time to discuss Jon Polakowski however, Browing said "how could you not like the guy?". I was so surprised to hear that browning thought well of all the hugging, I figured he would have been ready to talk about how much of a loser he thought Jon was. He did lose it a bit in this episode, but this time he actually had something real to get mad at. I think he's doing much better, if he can keep his head on right, he's going to do really well.

You know, now that the fighters are throwing and wasting so much food in such inappropriate manners, perhaps the fighters should have all their meals catered and no food should be kept available in the house. That would sure help with the failure to make weight problems that occur so frequently.
About Junie liking John being surprising for him, did you ever considered that due to the dispicable way Junie acts, he may have, as a result, not been hugged enough as as a child? When John was shown hugging him for a long time he sure did not try to pull away. I hope he wasn't the one who copped all the charms.

The hugging thing makes a lot of sense, good point. I personally don't believe that Junie took the marshmallows. He didn't seem to be involved much in the pranks. I kind of think that Junie made it to the live event, he has his blog up on UFC.com every week, and white had him on his video blog. I think the UFC kind of spoiled it. I've been trying to write an article on it, but I have major writers block, it's really bugging me out.

Why the UFC uses the 10-point must system for scoring baffles and annoys me to no end.
The 10-point must system was designed for boxing and nothing else. The New Jersey and Nevada State Athletic Commission should have learned what Martial Arts is before they jumped into the UFC and screwed the whole thing up.
At least Pride and other Japanese productions scored the entire fight rather then round-by-round. And points were not given in the scoring. Based on all phases of MMA fighting, fighters ether won, lost, or it was a draw.

I agree with the pick and have to say: "boobies" :)
And Polakowski is absolutely right - messing with someone's lucky charms is grounds for a fight
Although it should have gone to 3rd round - the other guy was slightly better & scored just enough more to win (51% imo); but Im sure we will see more Polakowski [I need a hug]

Boobies! Consider yourself hugged, OK?

So what's wrong with soccer kicks to the head, knee strikes to the face, and mob ties?
Do you think the Ferttita's do business with former boy scouts? Are UFC fighters snagged for steroid use?
As Dana White continues his slow spiral into his psychosis induced abyss, let's see what bigger fish is going to eat the UFC and their former bully turned muttering Librium shuffler in some nut ward.
I'll bet that bigger fish will come from Japan. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but it will come.

Has Japan avoided the economic crisis that has befallen investors in America?

No, but China has. If China called the U.S. on all their notes, we'd be watching UFC events taking place in some used car lot via YouTube.
Regarding Japan? Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, but it will come.
Didn't I just write that?

As long as we don't have to have our cereal or milk products imported from China, I gues I'll have to live with it when it happens.
Did I ever tell you that during the time I worked in Blloomington at the Bromenn Medical Center, they encouraged the staff on OB to learn to speak enough Japanese to aid in the birthing process b/c of the many Japenese who located in the community due to working at the Mitsubishi plant built there?
