Update: SIX Flagging
Dan Snyder's pauperized theme park chain, Six Flags, announced yesterday that Robbie Knievel will jump a lot of cars on a motorcycle at Six Flags- St. Louis next week.
Robbie, 46, is the offspring of Evel Knievel, the dead jumpsuit wearing loon who broke pretty much every bone in his body twice or so on live TV as America watched during the 1970s. The younger Knievel started his own career in motorcycle jumping at 7. At Six Flags, he will attempt to leap over 25 Dodges, which is being billed as a personal record.
So he knows thrillseeking. But when asked if he would use any money made from his Six Flags jump to invest in Snyder's company, Knievel, who once jumped the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle, turned ashen and started sweating and peed himself while yelling "Six Flags stock? Are you crazy? That risky!"*
Keep the dial right here for all the breaking news in Snyder’s Six Flags soap opera.
*Question and answer and entire scenario, including the pee pee part, totally made up for chuckles. But Knievel really is jumping at Six Flags next week.

"Loon"???
Evel Knievel was a 'Daredevil' in the truest sense of the word. Just because you lack the testicular fortitude to hop off a curb on your Schwinn, don't knock this guy. Evel was an ABC Wide World of Sports staple like the Harlem Globetrotters or Franz Klammer. He attracted millions doing his motorcycle/rocket stunts...who can forget Snake River?
He is a legend and he didn't have to die first before he was thought of as such. Show a little respect.

Looks like Dave was making fun of Six Flags, not Evil Knievel. Your reading comprehension and ability to recognize satire is laughable, must be a Foreskins fan.
Six Flags just hit a new 52-week low, $1.42. If the stock goes below $1.06, and stays under for 30 days - the stock will be delisted from the NYSE, accelerating covenants in highly leveraged debt. Delisting doesn't always mean bankruptcy, but not all companies have $2.3 billion in debt like Six Flags.

Who are you? His Mother? He's a grown ass man, he can speak for himself. He doesn't need your pansy ass defending him. You probably 'Suck Snyder'.
As for Six Flags and Snyder and you, all 3 can take a long walk off a short pier.

Who are you? Another pencil-necked geek calling someone names behind a keyboard? Everyone's an MMA fighter on the internet.
Evil Knievel was a stupid stuntman, he didn't cure AIDS or Polio. Any idiot can be a stuntman, look at the cast of Jackass.

Grumpy, SnyderSucks:
As SnyderSucks says, these message board fights are stupid.
But...Grumpy, you gonna let him rip you up like that? geez. "pencil necked?" and as for what he did to Evel, clearly your hero, well, he tore him a newer one than I ever could.
show some stones, Grumpy!
