Pittsburgh Restaurant Owner Challenges Onorato To Boxing Match
Onorato Says He'll Stop By Restaurant To Talk Out Differences

PITTSBURGH -- A Pittsburgh restaurant owner wants to box Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato in an effort to overturn a 10 percent tax on alcoholic drinks.

Jim Mitchell, who owns Mitchell's Restaurant, Bar & Banquet Center wants to fight Onorato as part of a charity amateur boxing card on Feb. 9.

If the 49-year-old restaurant owner wins, he wants the tax overturned. If Onorato wins, Mitchell said he wants to let Onorato have a countywide smoking ban that Mitchell successfully challenged with a lawsuit in May.

Onorato said he will stop by Mitchell's on Friday with two cigars so he and Mitchell can try to settle their differences over a smoke and a beer.

It's about time we return to the ways of the "WILD WILD WEST". I'm all for it.

Can we bring back the Thunderdome ala Mad Max? I'd love to see Tina Turner as a dictator.

Stuff like this makes me think we really might be doomed...

Are you kidding me, if the FED didn't cut rates today I would be dealing with a 400+ point loss... Then again it will probably still end up there in the next week or so.

But I do like the Fight Club reference... Maybe we could set up a match TheDave v. Corky (yeah, the dude from "life Goes On")

Hmmm, i know i have a few grand stashed in gold - it saved me from losing the rest of my 401k. The next bit of money i get i'm going to put it in silver & i'm going to move 5k to euro's for an emergency "out of town" fund.

Corky? Come on dave.... I'll go some rounds with ya. We'll drink some beers afterwards.

TailgateNut · 01-22-2008, 02:01 PM

Buy metal (copper, aluminum, steel), that "****" doesn't seem to realize there's a recession!
...and if the manufacturers/ builders don't buy it, you can sell it to the weapons suppliers. There will be a run on the gun shops soon!

Ya Know taking this a step further... We need to set up a list of top 10 people we want to go fight club on:

1. Corky (dude just always bothered me)
2. Bruno Tonioli (judge from dancing with the stars)
3. The Pope (just wanna see what he's got)
4. Any 3 Walmart greeters (your choice)
5. Bea Arthur (yeah, thats right)
6. ...Need to think about the next 5

Considering I missed the Gold part of the plan, I'm putting some extra thought into the "Get high and watch it Die" part...
