Reviewing the Long-Awaited "Happy Gilmore 2"
My name is Clyde E. Dawkins. The "E" stands for Earl, my actual middle name. Though as I love to say, my middle name is patience. I've been accustomed to waiting a long time for things I've wanted to see so badly. I waited 15 years for a pennant. I waited 21 years for a Stanley Cup. And added to that list: I waited 29 years for a sequel to an iconic comedy classic.

Malcolm, Michael, and Terry. Top Story - July 2025.
It's been very hard to be a member of what we call Generation X this week. The pain is too big to handle alone. My title might be a little confusing, so I will get that out of the way first: Malcolm-Jamal Warner, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne, and Terry Gene Bollea ("Hulk Hogan") have all passed away, and my mind is in many different places as I type this out. The summer has been hot, financially unrewarding, full of news of insanity, violence and disappointment. It all seems so familiar. And to read about these losses and to have to go on with my day just seems ridiculous.
