Bob: Can’t Wait For Gookin-Kennedy Battle Royale

Bob: The best part of Gookin losing is the oncoming match of Gookin vs Kennedy. The Battle of the Titans. Two men with huge appetites for power and pancakes. My God. I can scarcely imagine how dirty this one will be. Like two hungry loggers sitting down simultaneously at a great big loggers table and there is only one biscuit on the plate and they both lunge for it at once. Oh the hugemanity. And it will be dirty. So dirty. Kennedy's union thugs brawling with Gookin's computer nerds out on the Resort Boardwalk. Mary Souza driving a diesel-belcing Peterbuilt semi through townhonking the horn and hitting the jake brake with a lifesize photo of Dan on the trailer. I can hardly wait.

MikeK: Bob - FYI, I prefer Eggs Benedict to pancakes, just so you know - with heaping mounds of hollandaise sauce. Brings the myocardial infarction on sooner, but also easier to clean out with modern artery plumbing tools. Be up and at em in days, not weeks. Don't count me out, big boy.

Question: What will Gookin run for next?
