ackie Latendresse has a university degree in dance. She is an artistic director, a teacher, and she owns and operates a dance studio in Saskatoon. Sometimes she morphs into a burlesque dancer named Cheripop Purr. Purr is such a tease. Cheripop Purr will be performing on Nov. 29 at the Broadway Theatre, along with other members of the city’s Rosebud Burlesque Club. Latendresse said her interest in the history of Vaudeville and burlesque inspired her to start the troupe. “My research into the Vaudeville time period was the real spark of interest. I spent a year researching dances of the vaudeville and burlesque genre time period. It’s an area I love to read about. That, and I have always been drawn to all things glamorous. “I started Rosebud as a little fun side project. That was seven years ago, and it is growing rapidly. It’s going strong and extremely popular. There is a renaissance in the genre of burlesque.” Burlesque on Broadway is the biggest show Latendresse has produced. She wondered out loud when the iconic theatre — which opened in 1946 — might last have hosted a burlesque show. Or if it ever has for that matter. “It’s quite extensive,” she said of her production. “We have a live jazz band (the Canoodlers) working with us. A number of the pieces have live music with the performances, which is quite rare these days. Usually people are using pre-recorded or canned music. We are really excited to be working with musicians. That’s always a lot of fun and adds an extra element to the show.” Burlesque shows include comedy. MCs Hellen Bedde and Stella Behaviour will aptly fill part of that role, Latendresse said. “They are totally clever and very

hilarious, and quite well known to our fan group.” Twelve members of the Rosebud club will perform. Another five will be back-up dancers. Jolie Stripes from Montreal and Helvetica Bold from Ottawa will be guest performers. New burlesque has taken many forms, but all have the common trait of honouring the past, with acts including striptease, expensive costumes, bawdy humour and cabaret, Latendresse said. “We work with the art of the tease so each layer removed, no matter how small, is a reveal of some type — be it a hat, a glove, etc. Some reveals are subtle and some obvious, but each one has a special appeal to the viewers and helps to show the style of the performer.” She said the style is exhibited in how they take items off, how they present themselves and how they treat the article of clothing after it has been removed. Yes, outfit malfunctions can happen, she said. “If something goes wrong, you just have to embrace it and go with it. Maybe have a little fun with it if you can and get a few laughs. But you must always stay in your character while you are on stage no matter what. That is the challenging part for sure, not breaking character.” Burlesque is theatrical art, Latendresse said, when asked to explain the difference between burlesque, girlie shows and strippers. “The girlie shows are related to burlesque, but came out of the circus and carnival genre. Some of the great burlesque dancers from the heyday of burlesque came from the girlie shows, the side shows, and carnivals and circuses.” She said Wild Cherry, a burlesque legend, came from a circus family. “She danced her first performance in a girlie show. As she grew up she moved

NED POWERS

With each homecoming there are some bittersweet feelings. John’s parents and his sister Susan were killed in a house fire in Stratford, Ont., on Dec. 29, 1991. The fire was blamed on the faulty installation of a baseboard heater. “I was in Edmonton, was on an airplane in two hours, and was in complete shock. There still isn’t a day that goes by without a pang of pain and sadness.” He used parts of the epilogue from The Tempest in the eulogy in honour of Susan and his parents. Then in January 2003, Janet’s daughter, Rachel Davis, was shot to death on a Vancouver street while trying to intervene on behalf of a stranger who was being beaten up by a gang. “That’s the kind of spirit she had, wanting everything in the world to be right. I dedicate my performances in her memory.” Janet lives in Vancouver, perhaps still best-known for her remarkable run as Emma Leroy on the Saskatchewan-based TV comedy Corner Gas. She will be directing a play soon. Anne lives in Stratford but is no longer acting. John has always considered himself “a journeyman actor, never with aspirations of being a star but always content to be working.” There have been memorable moments along the way. In an early play he appeared in A Lie of The Mind in Edmonton. Susan played his mother. Later, in Vancouver, Janet played his mother. He’s worked right

across the country: from Neptune Theatre in Halifax to The Playhouse in Vancouver. He’s worked mostly in Edmonton at the Phoenix Theatre, Citadel Theatre and now with Free Will Shakespeare Players. The Shakespeare summer company began in 1989. He’s been with them since 1995. His wife, Marianne Copithorne, is the artistic director. He’s played a lot of Shakespeare characters, including the starring role in Titus Andronicus (one of the Bard’s goriest horror shows) and King Lear, “a work of beautiful language and a play in once you find the ear of the audience, it grows and grows with the flow and the emotion.” He has also worked in front of cameras. “I was playing a lot of thugs or policemen with an edge.” He’s comfortable with Wullie MacCrimmon in which he plays a shoemaker and a recreational curler in the early Alberta days. It was first written by Mitchell as a radio play and evolved easily onto the stage. It comes down to a curling match between Wullie’s team and a team headed by the Devil, who has MacBeth, Judas and Marie Antoinette as teammates. Antoinette is new to the scene, replacing what was once a Guy Fawkes character. John still likes to be on stage. A friend in Edmonton has written a play meant for Wright. It will probably be self-produced. His primary joys are staying at home with his wife and dogs. He is also an avid gardener.

Turn on your television any night of the week and you will hear crude and vulgar language, see nudity, simulated sexual intercourse, blood, gore and violence, and no one seems offended. Yet this particular incident seemed to be the turning point for even those residing in Ford Nation. Why didn’t the late Pierre Trudeau’s “fuddle-duddle” comment uttered in the House of Commons get the same public reaction? Years back when a comment was made ML41983.K25 about Jean Chretien’s partial facial paraly-

sis, the offender was correctly and soundly chastised by public and press alike. We like to think that we judge people based on character rather than their physical appearance. Why is it OK in the Ford scandal for the media to comment on his obesity and slovenly dress? I am not defending Rob Ford or his conduct. I think the man is distasteful. My concern is for the double standard we set when can forgive the sins of politicians we like and crucify the ones we dislike. The only thing left now is to speculate on who will play Rob Ford in the movie that must be in the works, and who will play his trusty sidekick — brother Doug. Get the popcorn ready. ehnatyshyn@gmail.com

Just In Case Saskatonian makes dealing with death easier Ned Powers Saskatoon Express

arold Empey is pouring his heart and soul into a relatively new project — Just In Case — which outlines a common-sense approach to preparing people for a death in the family. “The sooner the planning and preparations are made, the easier it will be for everyone in the family,” said Empey, whose own life was changed by the death of his wife and his son, just three months apart. “Rather than having to make a huge number of decisions at the time of grief, families can use our method of putting together the comprehensive combination of what can be done in advance to facilitate a smooth and less-painful period following a death.” He has been a virtual whirlwind since launching Just In Case last December, having conducted more than 80 workshops and distributing binders to more than 3,500 people. There is no charge for the workshops, but there is a $20 charge for the three-ring binder which offers advice in 12 sections. In his role as a senior vice-president of Federated Co-Operatives Ltd., he played a leading consulting role in the development of the upgrader in Regina. He was with Co-op for 40 years before retiring in 1991. He led a fund-raising campaign for Oliver Lodge in Saskatoon. He has been active with the Saskatoon Rotary Club for 54 years. Empey had major heart surgery in 2005 and had another incident in 2006 “when I was told to go home and start

planning my funeral.” He had another incident in 2007. He is a survivor. “But while I was going through these challenges, my wife Betty wondered if she would know what to do if she lost me. We started to make the arrangements for a funeral, including writing the obituary,” he said. Then Betty was diagnosed with cancer. After a year of battling the illness, she died on Nov. 12, 2012. “On a Tuesday in February 2013, I got a call from my son in Rosetown, Gregory, saying that he wanted a binder so he could get his papers in order. By the Saturday, he was gone. “I knew I had a project to share with people. It was mostly a book about questions that people should be asking themselves and then sharing the answers with their families. I started in the condominium where I live.” Then the Saskatoon Community Foundation came on board and lent valuable support. All proceeds are donated to charity. One of the engaging stories was Empey’s trip to Outlook where his daughter, Judy King, lives and where his grandson, Dalas King, is the fire chief. They had nearly 70 people in attendance, and Empey donated all of the proceeds from binder sales to the Outlook Fire Department. Clients see the sessions and the binders as useful tools. “I want to thank you for the binder you have developed,” wrote one woman. “My mom was at a presentation and was so impressed she bought one. Mom passed away in June. While she had not finished the binder completely, it was

enough to make life easier for us. What you have developed is truly a wonderful concept. Your wife and son would be proud in Heaven when they are looking down.” One of the sections is devoted to what kind of a celebration-of-life service is required: specifying the involvement of a funeral home, a church, all the details of a service and what roles family members will play in the service. But the advice goes well beyond that. There are suggestions for preliminary planning: choosing power of attorney, seeking out financial advice, identifying the will, checking out the contact lists of friends and family, and listing places where insurance and pension plans may be involved. Even a listing of computer passwords or bank pass-

words should be detailed. “I tell people to go out and continue to enjoy their lives,” said Empey, who laces his workshops with humour. “But people shouldn’t take anything for granted. By being prepared ahead of time you have peace of mind. And you can avoid a lot of trauma for your family at your death. Once you get a binder, however, don’t leave it laying around. Get to work on it.” He paused for a moment and said, “I am absolutely convinced that I had Divine guidance in wanting to go out and help the community.” (Information on workshops is available by calling 306-244-4954 or by emailing h.empey@sasktel.net.)

200 artisans on board for Sundog faire

Tammy Robert Saskatoon Express

askatoon’s Sundog Arts & Entertainment Faire is one of this city’s perennial holiday shopping events. It kicks off this year on Nov. 29 and runs through Dec. 1 at Credit Union Centre. With both the concourse and floor of the Credit Union Centre packed with more than 200 artisans, crafters and specialityfood producers, it is one-stop holiday shopping. This year new exhibitors will join familiar favourites, while the non-stop main stage features some of Saskatchewan’s top entertainers. A children’s stage and area will keep the little ones occupied. “We have 50 new artisans coming through this year, adding to our selection of art and photography, to ironworks and jewelry and textiles,” said Sundog coordinator Diane Boyko. “Our vendors are all Canadian, and come right across the country from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island. It’s such an eclectic mix of gift-giving options.” Not only is the SunDog faire important to shoppers, it is equally as important for many of the vendors. Kara Krahn, founder and designer of Polka Dot Piggy Designs, has her stylish and functional accessories for both baby and mom already sold in high-end local boutiques. But Krahn says the opportunity to meet and visit with her clients is priceless. “This is my third year at Sundog, and it’s going to be the best. I’m so excited. I

make things like baby blankets and bibs, aprons for kids and moms, reusable wet bags and lunch kits,” said Krahn. “Moms will stock up on things like bibs and snack bags,” she continued. “Current customers come and stock up for the year, but also because it’s our chance to chat in person. Making that connection with the customers in person is important.” Those face-to-face opportunities abound, with Boyko expecting more than 12,000 people to come through the doors over the course of the three days. Given that shopping at Sundog can be an all-day affair, the ethnic food court provides tasty nourishment when it’s time to refuel. Vendors such as Chocolate Moose Fudge Factory and Prairie Pie Wagon will satisfy your sweet tooth, while the Saskatoon Vietnamese Catholic Association serves up items such as sweet and sour pork and Vietnamese rolls. Chatty’s Indian Spices and the Ukrainian Women’s Association are two more food vendors that will satisfy your cravings. The faire runs from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Nov. 29, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Nov. 30 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Dec. 1. Admission is $8, with a two-day pass costing $12. There is no charge for children under 12 when accompanied by an adult. There is free bus service on the hour from the downtown bus terminal. For more information call 306-3847364, email sundoghandcraftfaire@sasktel.net or visit www.sundoghandcraftfaire. com.

I remember when I was a pre-teen, my buddies and I were talking about what would we do if we were to find out we only had a couple of months to go before we died. A few said they would go to places they have never visited. One wanted to rob a bank because he thought there would be no point in arresting him. I said I would like to take a horse, run along a train and jump onto it to pull a train robbery, just like Jesse James. One has to remember this was when there was nothing but Western movies, not only on the big screen, but also on television. These days there’s nothing but oil, grain and lumber being moved on a train. I could see myself jumping onto a train today and demanding all the grain in someone’s wallet. I’d end up on one of those dumbest criminal shows. A few years back I was told by the medical community that I didn’t have much time before my intestinal illness would kill me. Not once did robbing a train cross my mind. Instead I decided to spend as much time with my family as possible. That was

almost eight years ago and I’m still here. I’m starting to think I’m here for the long haul. What kept me going was the thought of disproving these so-called modernmedicine doctors and specialists. I stopped taking the painkillers they were prescribing me. I thought if I’m going to die, I will do it at my own terms. That was the best thing I’ve ever done. If I would have taken the painkillers, I’m sure I wouldn’t be here today. When that day does come, I hope someone will come and tell the truth. You know how it is when a person passes away: people will say all kinds of nice things and list the accomplishments. I hope someone will come by and say, “He was a piece of ...” or “Thank God he’s out of here.” If someone does that, I will get out of casket and give them a high five. But please make sure nobody puts a wooden stake through my heart.

Mr. Grainger’s legacy lives on through new blood donors

ress on regardless. Those were the last words in an online journal David Grainger used to document his journey and battle with leukemia. Too weak to write, he dictated his last heartbreaking message. At 7:15 a.m. on Nov. 14, David Grainger passed away peacefully. Mr. Grainger had been my Sunday school teacher as a child. Despite the passing of time, I never forgot him. When I interColumnist viewed him in summer for an article in the Express he was confident of a full recovery. Mr. Grainger was an avid and passionate blood donor. It was at the clinic where he went to donate his 166th pint that he learned there was something not right with his blood. That concern led to a rapid diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. One of his first thoughts was he would never be able to donate again. “Once you have cancer, that’s it,” he said. “I thought, ‘Let’s see how many people that know me would go in and give at least one pint of blood in my name. And out of that, maybe some people will become regular donors.’ “I want to drive new donors. Boy, if I could get a couple of hundred new donors going in there this summer, and out of that maybe a dozen people say, ‘Hey, I’m going to be as committed as he was.’ If I could replace myself that many times, mission accomplished.” He inspired many, including me, to become a first-time and regular donor.

David Grainger in June of this year (Photo by Joelle Tomlinson) I know that no one else could have convinced me to pick up the phone and donate to those in need. Mr. Grainger has inspired hundreds of donors, all the way from here to Peterborough, Ont. In Saskatoon alone, 48 people signed up to become brand new donors. Moira Kohlenberg at the Canadian Blood Service clinic noted it is important to remember that number does not include the many donors who donated under his name and wished to remain “unsung heros,” or the other donors across Canada. The math is startling. If each of those 48 people continue to donate, Mr. Grainger’s wish to replace the blood he used as a recipient will be fulfilled many times over. Mr. Grainger has died, but his legacy will live on. One pint at a time. You can donate in his name at the Canadian Blood Service Clinic.

ean McNeill and Denzal Sinclaire studied music together at McGill University. When McNeill, the leader of the Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra, went looking for a vocal headliner for the season’s first performance, Sinclaire was the automatic choice. The concert is booked at the Broadway Theatre on Nov. 30 at 8 p.m. “Denzal is a marvellous singer, and some will recognize the deep connection he has with Nat (King) Cole music. But he is able to blend as well into more contemporary upbeat jazz,” said McNeill. “When Denzal said he’d love to come back to Saskatoon, it was an easy fit with our orchestra. He’s so flexible that he gave me permission to choose the music. I even went back and researched some of the recordings that he and I had done as students at McGill University.” The Toronto-born Sinclaire, who is now in Vancouver, has been voted best jazz vocalist in Canada by Jazz Report for four consecutive years. He has been a multiple nominee for Juno Awards and he won the National Jazz Award for best album — his self-titled work released in 2004. He has performed with the modern-day version of the Count Basie orchestra, and has worked alongside jazz favourites like Cleo Laine, Peter Appleyard and Holly Cole. This is the second season for the jazz orchestra under its new title. Many of the players once shared the stage as the Saskatoon Metro Jazz Band. “While some our concerts are retro-

spective in nature, others are visionary,” said McNeill. “We want to feature important current and emerging jazz musicians whose work intersects with the large jazz ensemble idiom.” The talent pool in Saskatoon is significant. For example, the trumpet section features McNeill, Barrie Redford, Dave Anderson, Nick Fanner and Terry Hickman. But the orchestra also attracts talent from other areas, such as Greg Gatien (a saxophonist from Brandon), Ross Ulmer (a trombonist from Lloydminster) and Carlo Petrovich (a bassist from Regina). “It has always been my vision to imitate what Tommy Banks has done in Edmonton and build a band with fluid membership. Last summer at the Saskatoon Jazz Festival, PJ Perry was our guest on saxophone. I love to mix and match,” said McNeill. Two more concerts are in the works. One will be a Jan. 26 tribute to Duke Ellington, with the selections including the Such Sweet Thunder Suite, the Thursday Suite and the Peer Gynt Suite. Another will be on April 16. Guest trumpeter John McLeod will be playing, and the music will come from living Canadian jazz composers. It’s also possible Saskatoon Jazz Orchestra will play at the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in June. At one time McNeill believed the new series would be staged at Third Avenue United Church, but ownership of the building changed. “We’ve played often at the Broadway Theatre where the stage is a beautiful size for us and where the acoustics are excellent.”

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. After all, they’re situated in the heart’s muscle, not in the big toe. Moreover they’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called Medi-C Plus™.

hospitality facilities on the island. In July and August an avalanche of European visitors pack the beaches and night clubs and fill hotels. At the peak of summer there are 100,000 people a day arriving at Palma’s airport, one of the busiest in Europe. But don’t let that put you off visiting Mallorca or any of the other Balearic Islands. Off-season Mallorca is still a paradise where visitors can relax and unwind and discover the magic of the Balearic Islands. Other seasons also hold their own attractions, with the islands estimated seven million almond trees gloriously blossoming across the island by late January and February. The grape harvest is well underway in mid-September. But it’s the beaches that savvy offseason travellers really appreciate. In the spring and fall the extensive beaches can often be found almost deserted. The clear waters of the Mediterranean might hold a chill in the spring, but by September and even into October they are at their warmest for the year. No lineups at restaurants. Hotels with a smiling concierge. Uncrowded tourist attractions. It all adds up to a perfect getaway.

Oskapew Igniting Change “This is the start of something that is going to be great” Cam Hutchinson Saskatoon Express

ike Scott has multiplied by 15. Or you could say he has 14 clones. After a successful event earlier this month to gather and hand out winter clothing to residents in need, Scott’s one-person initiative has quickly grown to 15 young adults. The group wants to tackle social issues and make a difference in Saskatoon. There is no text book for this. No master plan yet. They are working from their hearts and from life experiences. “Saskatoon has been waiting for this, for young people to come out and do this,” Scott said at a group meeting last week. “There are not too many organizations out here that are run by young people, and this is the start of something that is going to be great.” The group’s motto is Oskapew Igniting Change. When you translate Oskapew from Cree to English you get Young Helpers. Young Helpers Igniting Change. Perfect. “I see change. I see inspiration. I see motivation,’’ Scott said in a passionate voice. “I can’t say all problems will be handled, because life is full of struggles and we have to learn to deal with them in the right ways. We can make our community a lot stronger by showing we care and by motivating and inspiring people. There are no limits to it.” Although time is short, the group would like to do something to help the less fortunate at Christmas. But there is now a much bigger picture, the 24-year-old said. “We started to discuss it. ‘What are all the problems we see in this community? What can we help fix?’ We don’t have to have one event. We can take this one event, and it can be the beginning of us as a group changing the outlook of the community. “Look at all the destruction going on in the society we live in. There are so many issues. I see poverty, I see hungry kids, I see homeless people, I see prostitution. “Once we start looking at the problems that we face and everybody can see them, then we can start looking at solutions. We need to fix the way we are thinking in order to make things better.” Trisha Gardypie said the decision for her to join the group was easy. “I have dealt with situations myself, which inspired me to join a group like this. I want to help people, to inspire people, to encourage people and to be a role model.”

Members of the Oskapew Igniting Change group at a meeting last week at the Core Neighbourhood Youth Coop (Photo by Sandy Hutchinson) Gardypie is a mother, a student “I want people to know they don’t and has worked for four years at the have to be Aboriginal to help us and Dakota Dunes casino. be a part of something like this.

It is an amazing group of young through the same things we do.” people.” He said people in places such Scott said there are no limits when as Prince Albert have expressed an it comes to helping people. interest in joining the group.

other organizations break off, and we can come together and have one big organization — one big society of young people around the world igniting change?” Scott said every dollar raised at events will be put back into helping the community. “We don’t get any gain from this except the positive reflection of ourselves that we are helping another person out. Even if it is not on such a huge scale, we are making an impact in our community.” For more information about the group, contact Scott at cree-native@ hotmail.com. Members of the group are available to speak at schools and at other functions. There will be fundraising events and workshops in the near future. Stay tuned.

Cam Hutchinson & Friends: Palin’s used SUV and other Ford jokes

• Wasilla, Alaska, is hoping to raise at

least $10,000 for city coffers by selling a Ford Expedition former mayor Sarah Palin drove from 1999 through 2002. The city listed the vehicle, which has approximately 120,000 kilometres on it, on eBay with a minimum bid of $10,000. Three things you should know: 3. There’s plenty of room for a tea party; 2. A great view of Russia from the front seat; 1. Piper Palin was conceived in the back seat. • TC Chong, on Vancouver sports talk radio stations TEAM 1040 and 1410 moving into a new office next to Victoria’s Secret: “The station management will be politically correct this year, choosing not to give Christmas greetings on the air. Instead they will be offering Breast Wishes.” • I remember writing a (bad) joke about Rob Ford a year or so ago. At the time somebody asked me if people would know who he is. • Torben Rolfsen, on IOC president Thomas Bach saying anti-doping tests for the 2014 Sochi Olympics will be the toughest yet: “Is this why we’ve seen so little of the Jamaican bobsled team recently?” • From Janice Hough: “For those of us who can’t resist a good train wreck, it would have been interesting to imagine what would have happened had Richie Incognito decided to pick on George Zimmerman.” • Bill Littlejohn, on Miami Dolphins lineman Jonathan Martin being on the sidelines at the L.A. Coliseum during the Stanford-USC game: “Obviously, he didn’t come Incognito.” • Two bodyguards who worked for Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen were convicted of attempted murder for firing at photographers who were trying to get shots of the couple’s 2009 Costa Rica wedding. The two were each sentenced to five years in prison. The photographers each received $10,000 in restitution. Is that what you call a money shot? • From Chong: “In order to shake up the team, Canucks coach John Tortorella JW11156.k25 has split the Sedins up. One has been sent

to Sweden and the other to Australia.” • An overrated football milestone: 1,000 yards receiving. In the CFL that is 56 yards per game.

• Rolfsen, on a Texas-based theme park company building the world’s tallest waterslide: “The terrifying drop ride is named 2013 Houston Texans.” • A professional chicken catcher who was fired because of a bad attitude was denied unemployment benefits on the grounds his negativity constituted willful misconduct. When asked to comment, the man said he no longer gives a cluck. • Larry King has turned 80. He looks so old for his age. • From Hough: “I’m not saying the

Kansas City Chiefs might have been the least intimidating 9-0 team in history. But when they lost to the Broncos last week, the 1972 Miami Dolphins just yawned.”

• Hulk Hogan said he battled suicidal thoughts after his marriage crumbled, his son was imprisoned and his family TV show was axed, all within months in 2008. That’s a lot of stress, but I’m thinking Hogan was more likely to fake his own death.

• Chong, on Arizona Cardinals running back Andre Ellington having some of his dreadlocks pulled out during a game: “Defender Jason Babin returned the hair to Andre after Troy Polamalu shampooed it.” • On the heels of the ridiculous GSP decision, I will never purchase another UFC performance on Pay Per View. I’m guessing I have bought 10 of the 166 (remember one was embarrassingly cancelled). Now I am tapped out.
