Ok - I couldn't resist posting this story...however, in doing so - I have exposed a side of me that I usually try to hide - which is, on occasion - I read TMZ. Yes, I guess you could call that a guilty pleasure - that I don't broadcast, but in this case, I thought this story was so funny, I had to post it. In reading TMZ this week, I saw a headline that said that The Hulk was rushed to the emergency room for back pain. Normally, I would skip right over this...however, in my exuberance to get to the good stuff, I accidently clicked on the story which explained that The Hulk was in the hospital for severe back issues as a result of his constant stooping over while he was shelling. Yes, it said shelling, as in picking up seashells on the beach!!
According to TMZ, they spoke to The Hulkster -- who was hospitalized this week in Clearwater, FL -- they say The Hulk tells us he was picking up seashells this weekend with his girlfriend Jennifer ... and the constant bending over eventually got the better of him.
Well - that means.... I now love The Hulk. What other 6'7" guy is gonna admit to the world that he had to go to the hospital from severe back pain as a result of spending the day picking up seashells. NONE is what I say....so here's to The Hulk...who proves shelling is not just for chicks - and that there is such a thing as The Sanibel Stoop.
Hope you enjoy reading the story here....Hulk Hogan's Seashell Shock on TMZ.
