]]> <![CDATA[The Legend Of Ned Grows]]> What would A'Mond Ned
If he was here right now,
He'd make a plan
And he'd follow through,
That's what A'Mond Ned do.

When A'Mond Ned was in the olympics,
Skating for the gold,
He did two salchows and a triple lutz,
While wearing a blind fold.

When A'Mond was in the alps,
Fighting grizzly bears,
He used his magical fire breath,
And saved the maidens fair.

So what would A'Mond Ned do
If he were here today,
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two,
That's what A'Mond Ned would do.

Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!

But if, you know, if going to the OB, and finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to get back to my wife, well then, then that's my mission.

]]> <![CDATA[The Legend Of Ned Grows]]> One night a woman had a dream. She dreamed she was walking along the beach with the Ned.

Across the sky flashed scenes from her life. For each scene she noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to her, and the other to the Ned.

When the last scene of her life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She noticed that many times along the path of her life there was only one set of footprints. She also noticed that it happened during a brawl in the Orange Bowl.

This really bothered her and she questioned the Ned about it:

"Ned, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd hobble next to me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

The Ned replied:

"Bros before hos."

Then again, he also didn't touch any boobies at a Boston Market...
