America's Got ... Talent?

Pin It

Out on Lake Ray Hubbard's Party Cove last weekend there was a guy on a boat. A big, fat guy. With a goofy hat. And a huge gut.

Dancing.

Disturbing as it was, the dude had a couple bikini-clad hotties shaking it alongside him.

Me and a buddy commenced this debate: Are the girls attracted to him out of sex appeal or sympathy.

"He's compensating for his body with his personality," my buddy noted. "Work with what you got."

Some of us retorted that it'd be more impressive to get in the gym and alter what you got, but whatever. I see his point.

Which leads me, of course, the Mavs ManiAACs.

Apparently the big man dance troupe - sans Dallas Mavericks gear, curiously - is still alive on NBC's America's Got Talent. (Shouldn't that be America Has Talent?)

I've gone back and forth with some of these guys on whether they are actually talented dancers or just a goofball novelty act. Some of them are very serious. Some laugh at themselves.

Either way, I give them credit for turning their gag into fame, if not fortune.

Kudos.

hahahahaha..... LIKE IS SAID Ohhhh, or like Norm said shake your coconut, those giant titanic sh%ts that could move an American Standard 4 counties over. FAT LOVES KURGO Toast the swamp Elephant! IM ON A HORSE!
wha....what? I'm confused. Ok, you win. Ummmmmm, did you ask the guard if you could use the prison computer? Note to self: -buy a bunch of guns -bait the house with deer urine to throw the criminally insane off the trail -put those bars on the window so that when the house burns, you can't get out -buy a bigger dog -make sure mavsstaff has not escaped from Terrell State
Yeah, but Justin Beaver is good. So is alot of AGT acts. That Justin Guarini guy is good, so is Clay Aikman. DWTS has lots of talent, like Emmitt. It takes a real talent to love a fat man (weeping) and to stand by your giant lover, gently caressing his nimble wit and supple brow. Oh, the unbridled passion when I grab his giant, man quivering belly and jiggle it like a giant coconut. Ohhhh, (like Norm) and those giant titanic sh%ts that could move an American Standard 4 counties over. ps-raise your glass Kurgo and toast to the swamp elephants that sun by the dam at the GREAT Crystal Lake (Gilmanton)NH. Especially the gigante' (See mom, I know Spanish or, Mexican?) lady that I had to call the cops on because she chained her dog to a street sign, and I nearly ran over him.
Classy? WTF. Classy. A fat guy dancing is now classy? Are you a special education student? AND yes, certainly everyone who makes it on AGT and other "fringe" shows are entertaining-right? Holy sh&t, this may be the stupidest blog posting I've seen in years-Maybe EVER. Please never come back to this blog again....and if you do, have a freaking valid point you lonely, lifeless moron. Man, that makes me mad. Dude, the fat guys dancing is a joke. A JOOOOOKKKKKE! It has nothing to do with talent, or wit, or anything positive.......fat is f%cking funny. Ok, now back to collecting carts you #sshole.
Mavs Maniaacs are AWESOME! Ive worked with them for 5 years and they are the truly classy guys. They surely would NOT be headed to Hollywood on America's Got Talent if they were not entertaining. Maybe u dont think they are anything other than a FAT novelty act, but 9 years in the NBA speaks for itself. Congrats Maniaacs even RW forced his fingers to type Kudos to a group he hates!!!
u rang? The Mavs Maniacs are an embarrassment and I cringe anytime these freaks get a glimpse of airtime during any national Mavs TV broadcasts. As far as "America's Got Talent" is concerned, they fit right in with that crap on there.
MEH!
I actually had a friend that was a Mavs "Funslinger". I know it's spare but I grew up with the guy and he needed extra cash so whatever. Anyhow, he used to tell me how serious these Maniaacs took themselves (like RW) has stated and how sensitive and easily offended and defensive they would get. These fat slobs think they have actual talent? Rolling their fat, rolly-polly bellies in front of people is supposed to be talent, let alone entertaining?? I think not. Their act was worn thin the very second they rolled (yes rolled) onto the court. And to think they made it to TV and that our lives are so miserable that we will actually watch this garbage? I think not.
Scott and I went to the "all male" party cove at Collin Park last week. Did you know they have a lighthouse? He he.
Anon, I could not have said it better myself-wait, I did! 5 Things I really know alot about: 1)Walmart 2)Rednecks 3)Crappy, killer lakes 4)Party Coves 5)Bobby Orr
Dear fella's of the blog, What kind of douchebag hangs out at a party cove? Let's review: 1)Hotties, no......middle aged tramps-yes. 2)40 something lonley dude with a boat. 3)Young guys with coke. 4)Rednecks. 5)Assholes. I can see teetee's on the internet, I don't need to go to that sh*thole Lake Ray Hubbard to party. Can you imagine the cackling and ciggy smoking as some ole drunk broad is beating your ass with stories of this and that..........makes you want to swim to shore-or go home to the wife and family. Yeah, they look great from 100 yards, but, as you inch closer, you kinda steer out of her wake as she appears replete with boils, leather skin, hag voice and missin' teeth.
