    Manu is my man, way to go dude

    That video is circulated on the internet.

    In some chinese tradition, a man who swatted down a flying object in some important days is considered that he and his family will be very lucky all year.

    But i have a question, how was that bat? i mean is it already dead? or still alive?

    The reports are confusing...

    Manu said when he handed it off that he could still feel it moving and it was just dizzy. Then it came out that the bat had died. Then another release said it wasnt dead and that it flew off.

    I think it was alive when Manu handed it off and it either died later from internal injuries or the staff killed it, then they said it just "flew off" to avoid any confrontation with PETA or the like.... But thats just my personal thoughts.

    FWIW bats can be stunned for a while; look dead as , then just fly off; seen it several times.

    The issue was more with Comcast than LP.

    Yeah it's the secret ingredient for Manu's Go-Go Juice. Unfortunately one of the side effects is uncontrolled hair loss.......

    Is he going to be lucky for one calender year from the start of the bat swat or just for the remainder of the year. I need to know because I may hedge my bets on another championship if it's the former.

    I think all fans "were" shocked, not "is".

    By the way, In my hometown, I rarely saw bats flying around, the city is seriously polluted and the number of those animals like birds, bats...is decreasing fast.

    When I was a young boy I once chased a bat by hitting it with a stick, and nothing lucky happened since then.

    Just like some dawgs saying "Do she love me? " ,sometime using wrong grammar is cool ,man (would it be an excuse?)

    As for your case, probably you were very lucky that year but you didnt realize
