I was going to post this in the Ali thread on mefi... but Mefi died before I could post it, so here it is[More:]For me, the most powerful and poignent Ali moment was not in the ring, or for anything he said, but when he stood in front of the world with his body wracked by Parkinsons disease, and lit the Olympic torch at the Atlanta games. There he stood, formerly one of the greatest athletes in the world, crippled by disease and smiling. That shell might be failing, but what truly was the greatest about Ali shines on.
Maybe we could post our comments intended for MeFi in a thread here in a kind of stream of consciousness format whenever it falls over?

Not sure if the server can cope with that much traffic, though.

This document contains no Ali.

My favorite Muhammad Ali moment was when he lured the Mamluk soldiers into the narrow passage and massacred them all.

Yeah, we should just continue to post about bunnies and what we had for dinner last night.
