Don't Blame Me
So here's the story...
Remember when I told you guys about going to the WSU show in Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey a couple of weeks ago to see Alicia's retirement match and a bunch of the G.L.O.R.Y. Girls in action? Well, during intermission I chatted with a few of the girls. I wished Alicia well with her upcoming studies abroad. I spoke with Roxie Cotton about getting her profile updated. I brought up the Rutgers University football team with Angel Orsini, since we had chatted about them at the previous WSU event in September when they were undefeated. (Bad decision on my part...I think I ticked her off big time when I brought them up!) And I got to chat with Momma Alicia for a few minutes.
Anyway...
Who do I hear from over my shoulder, but AmyLee. She's talking to Wrestlin' Wally. "Hey Wally", she says. "Take a darn picture of me and Cindy Rogers for the G.L.O.R.Y. POD. But those son-of-a-guns won't use it. They hate my goll-dang guts over there!"
I was taken aback. Especially since AmyLee didn't exactly use the words darn, son-of-a-guns or goll-dang! Was this the same AmyLee who I spent a hot summer night with down on the Wildwood Beach at the Jersey Shore four summers ago? (Okay...so maybe I just kind of introduced myself to her after a beach show. But it was pretty warm, it was night time and it was August.)
But I digress...
The point is, to prove I have nothing against AmyLee...even though she thinks I hate her "goll-dang guts"...I'm running the exact picture she posed for that night as today's POD.
Now, there is a slight problem. Seems that there was a flaw in the picture that Wally snapped. I'm no camera expert...and I could be wrong....but it appears that Wally may have gotten his left index finger in front of the camera lens. I suppose it could possibly be a camera malfunction. But to my untrained eye, that does look like a finger.
Don't look for me to fault Wally for this. He takes over a thousand pictures at these shows. (1,248 was what he was up to when I asked how many shots he snapped at this particular event...and it wasn't even over yet!) So listen...Wally is allowed to have an OOPS-moment every so often. It's a shame that it happened on this particular picture. But hey...what can you do, right?
So there you go, AmyLee. You said we wouldn't run your picture as a POD. You said we didn't like you. You said we hated your guts. Wrong, wrong and wrong! Mark it down. G.L.O.R.Y. POD of January 6th, 2008: AmyLee and Cindy Rogers!
