Okay, i've gotten one too many emails asking me to tell them about jail in Mexico. I was quoting the film "Slapshot". Haven't you seen "Slapshot"? ...or memorized every line?
Go watch that movie and you'll see that I was recalling the description of infamous on-ice pugilist, Ogie Oglethorpe.
"Oh gee, hold the phone! This IS an unscheduled surprise. Oh, this young man has had a very trying rookie season, what with the litigation, the notoriety, the incarcerations and subsequent deportation to Canada, and that country's refusal to accept him - well, i guess that more than most twenty one year olds can handle! OGIE OGLETHORPE!"

some Slapshot trivia:
"the character of Ogie Oglethorpe was based on a real minor league tough guy named Goldthorpe - or "Goldie" Goldthorpe, and thats HIM playing Oglethorpe in the movie.
He actually was arested and deported to Canada for getting in a fistfight with his team mates on the tarmac at an airport. and yes, Canada refused to accept him.
Slapshot Rules !! The Hanson Brothers are the best,love the bit where they're attacking that dude in the lobby of the Motel and they have him upside down and one of them gets the small tree out of the plant pot !
