Whattup Horey-holics !!! It is, once again, your certified “Cult Leader” and I have a few things on my mind that I would like to get off my chest.

First off, I want to send out my condolences to a dear and close personal friend of mine. One of the best friends I ever had, Jerry Stegall, lost his father to cancer this past week. I just want to let him know that my entire family, and myself as well, feel his loss and send out our hearts to him and his family. Anything we can do for ya bro, you know I’ll be there for ya.

Now, performing the proverbial 180 before I get mushy, “The Orient express” Shank Dorsey would like to throw out some Birthday wishes to some people. It seems that July is a busy month in the birthday department, so Happy Birthday wishes go out to my nephew Matt Hunt, the one and only “Mighty” Mike Ripple (u thought we forgot didn’t ya), my mother-in-law Pam Smith, and myself of course. Yes, ol shankie poo had another b-day and I haven’t figured out how to stop them yet, so I guess I’m gonna have to go with the flow and get older.

Also, I want to wish one of the most important people in my life, my beautiful wife Terrie, a very happy and heartfelt Anniversary. This is our 1st year Anniversary and it’s been an interesting ride as I know there are many more to come. We have already been together as a couple for 9 years, so what’s 60 more, right? All I can say is that it takes a special kind of someone to tolerate a person like “The Orient Express” as well as Donnie himself and she’s done an excellent job thus far and I just want to let her know that I love her and appreciate the fact that she has my back no matter what kind of non-sense I get involved in. So all hail the mighty Terrie and long live the zing-zing.

OK, enough of that stuff. I’m “The Orient Express” for Christ sakes. I’m not supposed to talk like that. Oh well, sometimes there are just some things more important than being “The Orient Express” Shank Dorsey. Let’s move on to some other things on my mind.

This war of words that has been going around town as of late is starting to get tired in my opinion. Like I have said before, this thing is about 3 people and I am not one of them …. But I do have to admit that I have a blast getting on those message boards and messing with people though. Heel heat rocks…….

My lovely wife Terrie, (see how I do that fellas) bought me the Triple H DVD for my birthday and I have to say that it is one of the best I’ve seen thus far. I’m really starting to like the fact that Vince bought WCW because now we have the best of both worlds on one video. I was totally marking out over the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat match from ’89. It was definitely an old school classic and one that I appreciated very much. In my opinion, if the WWE would come out with “Best of” DVD’s for WWE, WCW, ECW, NWA, Georgia Championship Wrestling and whatever other archives they now own, I believe that I would have to try and buy every one. I don’t think they own the rights to the ECW footage as of right now, but I say that in time, they will.

I got to see Halloween: Resurrection this past weekend and I liked it very much. I am a big horror movie mark and I have always enjoyed the Michael Myers saga. I thought the story to this movie was creative and very interesting and it got the wheels turning and as of right now, for what reasons I’m not sure yet, I am the proud owner of DangerEntertainment.com. There is currently nothing there, but who knows, maybe soon there will be.

Speaking of dot-coms, I have recently transferred another domain name that I own. Now Shank dorsey.com can be viewed through Shank and Dale.com. I am slowly starting to convert the Shank Dorsey website over to promote both “The Orient Express” Shank Dorsey as well as the team of Shank and Dale. I will be adding things and changing the look little by little as time allows. And maybe, with the help of my big-nosed webmaster as well, if he can spare the time.

The team of “The Orient Express” Shank Dorsey and “The Other White Meat” Dale Johnson was created by accident and now it has transformed into one of the most entertaining and heat generating tag-teams that I’ve seen today. We may be looking into T-shirts and videos in the future as well. That is something that I will have to sit down with Dale about here soon. All I know is that people pay to come see us because they are entertained by us and people also pay to see us because they want to see us get our asses beat. Whatever there reasons are, they can rest assured that when Shank and Dale are on the card, the Yard-bird Posse will be representin because everyone knows that “If you ain’t Yard-bird, YOU AIN’T SHIT !!!!!!”

And by the way, Mark Mattress , you still suck superstar !!!
