Did Sylvester Stallone start that bizarre urban myth about Richard Gere
and a gerbil?

The "Rocky" star says Gere thinks he does. As Stallone tells it, he
and Gere had a falling-out on the set of the 1974 flick "The Lords of
Flatbush."

According to Stallone, Gere was supposed to have the role played by
Perry King, but he and Gere "never hit it off" and Rocky got so mad
at Gere that he elbowed him in the head over a greasy chicken.

"[Gere] would strut around in his oversized motorcycle jacket like he
was the baddest knight at the round table," Stallone told
AintItCoolNews.com.

He says that one time during a fight scene things got a little too
real, and at another point, things got physical during a lunch when
Stallone went into a Toyota to eat lunch.

"I was eating a hotdog and he climbs in with a half a chicken covered
in mustard with grease nearly dripping out of the aluminum wrapper,"
said Stallone. "I said, 'That thing is going to drip all over the
place.' He said, 'Don't worry about it.' I said, 'If it gets
on my pants you're gonna know about it.' He proceeds to bite into
the chicken and a small, greasy river of mustard lands on my thigh. I
elbowed him in the side of the head and basically pushed him out of the
car. The director had to make a choice: one of us had to go, one of us
had to stay."

Gere's spokesman wasn't available for comment, but according to
Stallone: "Richard was given his walking papers and to this day
seriously dislikes me. He even thinks I'm the individual responsible
for the gerbil rumor. Not true, but that's the rumor."

So does that mean that Gere started the Stallone "Cradle ze balls!" story?

I think Stallone is an ape. Every time I think of him I remember that
his domestic employees are not allowed to look or stare at him. Well,
who in the hell wants to look at the aging big puffy baffoon now.

The legend is that Gere stuck a gerbil up his ass and it got stuck and had
to go to a doctor.

aren't you glad you asked now?

They fly only after they've mated with the gerbils.

Would their offspring be called Bonkeys or Merbils?

How does "monkey" + "gerbil" = "bonkey"?

And the funny thing is, "bonkey" was really quite a hoot. Reminds me of
the sound effect you used to hear whenever the Three Shooges would hit each
other over the head. "Merbil" sounds like the first name of the
milquetoast whose last name is "Poindexter." Or his wife.

It launches a thousand jokes.

Why did Richard Gere wrap the gerbil in electrical tape?

SO IT WOULDN'T EXPLODE WHEN HE FUCKED IT!!!

The bob and tom show has a skit where they advertise the 'richard gere
gerbil habitat'. And yes, it is bad as it sounds.

Yeah, the first time I heard the gerbil story, the guy told me about it
in a very roundabout way ("uses a gerbil instead of having anal sex")
and I thought he was saying that the gerbil was the fuckee. I kept
saying in a puzzled manner, "It's not that I'm so shocked, I just don't
think it would work," until we finally got it straight.

In a recent 'family guy' Peter was at Richard Gere's easter egg hunt. Gere
asked peter where the egg was, Peter kept saying 'in your ass', while it was
on the ground in front of their feet. Kept saying it until a gerbil came
out of his ass and took the egg back up Gere's ass.
