Carl Lewis' ego

This one speaks for itself.

I'm Carl Lewis! I'm the fastest man alive! I'm so fast I beat God two out of three! The third time he was cheating!

Carl, we don't care if you don't like women. You don't have to have your flak "accidentally" release your birthday invitation that happens to have numerous parties with sexiness and flesh as their themes.

I love King Carl. He's my favorite Olympian and he sent me back a signed postcard when I wrote to him in 1987.

He should have a stop in Chicago so he can re-inact his "Star Spangled Banner" cover (or perhaps a stop at Fort Sumter in honor of Francis Scott Off Key).

 

Is he going to sing at every one of those stops?

 

He's one of the two strangest perople, in terms of their personal bearing, that I have ever met. If it eventually turned out that he was from another planet, it would not surprise me in the least.

 

And the other was ... Michael Jackson?

 

This whole 5 brithday parties thing strikes me as being sad. It's as though he's desparate for friends, so he'll throw a bunch of parties to try and get some.

 

All I know is that no one sings the Star-Spangled Banner better than Mr. Carl Lewis. I've got the tape to prove it.

 

All I know is Carl Lewis is the greatest Olympic champion in this country's history and one of the most interesting people I have ever met in sports.
If he wants to have 10 birthday parties, more power to him.

 

And I remember watching Carl get his ass kicked in high school.

 

Funny Boots, I remember interviewing Carl once when he talked about being the littlest kid all the time and getting bullied by everybody at least until he was in junior high. He even admitted that Carol used to defend him.
