And yet when I train my kid to copy Conan the Barbarian's moves, I get hauled in front of the Department of Children & Families and have to make A LOT of long apologies at local hospitals.
By Crom, there is no justice in this world.

Butkus, like the football player. Bupkis is Yiddish for 'nothing.'

Oy. I have misheard that for years probably bc my mother used to use the word bupkis all the time. I guess I should have realized that an Italian kid (The Italian Stallion!) from Philadelphia was not naming his dog a Yiddish term, but why would he name the dog after a Chicago Bear? Next you're going to tell me that James Marshal does not say,"Kiss this guy" but says,"Kiss the sky" or something.
Anyway, the kid is still pretty darn cute and darn fast on the speed bag.

Cuz Dick Butkus was synonymous with 'badass' back in those days.
