The Seven Cock Itch

Post over 10000 as Thelogan and I'll buy you your own condo! I got it all lined up, too This high muckety muck at Bank of America said he'd hook me up with easy payments and everything.

OMG! Hellblazer fan. *Sqwuueee!!* My new BFF is here! :pant: :pant: :pant: Okay, act cool... Hey, Mrdukey, wanna hang out sometime? You could come home and meet my mother.

Dolph Ziggler, one of the new guys I mentioned, has a reputation for taking sick (looking) bumps. i.e. He looks like he gets killed taking the move. Here's a typical 'Ziggler just killed himself' moment, from last night's Raw: Thing is, he's NEVER really hurt from these. It's all his skill in making it look good, requiring split second timing and balls of steel. For those who are aware that wrestling is fake, it adds back that extra visceral element because you think, 'no way that was intentional, OMG, he's hurt.'

Sting is over on TNA wrestling. He refuses to work for Vince McMahon for reasons unknown.

Botched spot is awesome. For those who didn't get the joke, WWE has been DOWNPLAYING the attitude era lately because Linda McMahon is running for Senate BUT they simulataeously announced plans for an Attitude Era DVD. Monday Night. Time for Raw. Incidentally, Mick Foley shows up on tv once in a while, most recently 2 weeks ago for an excellent confrontation with CM Punk.

Forget the Jabberwocky. Listen to him do Kublai Khan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7mEV9VUgtQ I think I just had an orgasm.

I thought these were hilarious and got the captured-West-Virginia-freak vibe perfectly: The original batboy is here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_Boy_(character) Lotsa cool finds in a post from the NY comicon some- Waitasec... Kee? Is that you?

He's also playing the Necromancer according to the Wiki. Dude's about to break big soon. Got the role as the next Star Trek villain. I'm curious about the Necormancer thing though. I'm assuming if he's like any good actor he can play two voices, especially with a little help from electronic tinkering, but it's still odd to know he's doing two voices. Has that been done in a lot of movies before? Besides Hank Azaria?

The fight was linked at the side of the first video- Never mind: Here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TjCRV0QNYA&NR=1&feature=endscreen

There are 4 former luchadores int he WWE right now. They all do luchadore like things from time to time but they tend to tone it down for WWE standards. One is Rey Mysterio who's old enough to have slowed down, but I still dig him, even though many older fans find him boring now. THe latest is actually the biggest luchadore of recent Mexican history who HHH recruited two year back. He's had a rough time accilmating to the style and got two major injuries. Plus he's reputed to be a prima donna backstage and that's holding up his progress. He goes by the name Sin Cara, No face, but in Mexico he had another name. Another of the good new heels is an ex luhcadore who goes unmasked and just acts like a regular american style power wrestler for the most part but pulls out some highflying moves from time to time. He's got charisma and plays an arrogant aristiocrat typw with a freaky sidekick. funnily enough, in his luchadore days he was Dos Caras, Two Faces. The 4th ex luchodore is only a bit player, rarely on tv, but he's notable because he filled in under the Sin Cara mask wen Sin Cara was hurt for 3 months and in many fans eyes, did a better job of it than the real Sin Cara. Rock wrestled at the last Wrestlemania and beat Cena He also wrestled a tag match at last years Survivor Series.. He's sheduled to wrestle at the next Royal Rumble for the WWE championship and also the next Wrestlmania. Most people are expecting Rock/Cena II at the next wrestlemania. I actually read an article about this. Seems Rock's agents had moved him away from wrestling in 2003 to establish him as an actor in his own right and he got tired of their bullshit eventually, fired them, and the first thing he told his new agent was to get him back into wrestling part time. That's also when he got into Fast and Furious and GI Joe and the other hits he's had recently. So he made his grand return as HOST of wrestlemania in 2010 and got into a fight with Cena leading to their 2011 match with a whole year of build up. Thanks to Rock, the last Wrestlemania was the most watched ever after a few years of decline. OH yeah, Piper shows up 3 or 4 times a year.

They lost a couple good young guys to MMA, Brock Lesnar and Lashley. I suspect there's a lot more guys who never even went to Wrestling school because they chose MMA from the start. But it wasn't the older guys leaving for MMA. Rock left to do movies. Austin got injured. Shawn Michaels got injured and had to take a few years off, Kurt Angle got caught up in drugs and quit the company, Flair got old and retired, Hogan drifted off, Mick Foley got interested in stand up comedy and writing books and I suppose got old too. Goldberg quit for unstated reasons. Chyna quit because her ex, HHH, married the bosses daughter and they coudn't get along. Chris Benoit went insane and murderd his family, Kevin Nash/Diesel got busted knees and couldn't hack it. Sting refused to work for Vince McMahon after WCW folded. Brett Hart had a stroke. Anyone else I'm missing from folks you remember? Kane, Undertaker, HHH, Chris Jericho, Mysterio, Big Show and a few others have stayed on til now. But they weren't able to do it alone. They never got young guys coming up who could hold up their end. The two big talents to come through were Cena and Randy Orton and they've got limited appeal to old-school wrestling fans because they seem like posers who don't do much in the ring. Guy named Edge also broke kinda big near the mid-late 00s and he was actually really really good, but he had to quit a couple years back after chronic neck problems. But 3 stars in 10 years is not nearly enough to sustain a whole programme. Which is why I feel like something real is happening these days. They don't have 3 rising stars. They have 10. All guys who can 'go' in the ring and can create drama in the buildups and 'promo' segments. I mentioned some of them before, but I should add Dolph Ziggler to that list. He kinda had to develop into something special from a ordinary start, but he worked hard at it and is now showing the results of that in effective performances. The crux of it is that these new guys are fun to watch, fun to listen to. But I don't think there's a Rock, Austin, Hogan or Andre among them, someone with crossover appeal to make wrestling mainstream. I'm just talking about fun wrestling at this point. WHo knows maybe Ziggler's development signals that some of the others can make it up there too. After all, Rock's first run as Rocky Maiavia was a disaster (he even got zinged in ICP's 'Fuck the World') He had to leave and repackage himself. BTW, Hugh Jackman did a guest spot on Raw two years back where he interfered in a Dolph Ziggler match. If you ever track that down on youtube or anything, it's fun, you should watch it. ---------------------------------------- Also, here's the opening from Last week's Raw when Vince showed up and had a confrontation with the now-villainous CM Punk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWdy2YqnJvs Don't know how long that'll stay up though because youtube tends to take that kinda thing down at random.

Understaker is pretty badly banged up from mileage. He's pretty much only wrestled Wrestlemania in the last few years. And it's working because the last 4 matches were instant classics with Shawn Michaels and HHH that had the kind of gravitas Cena and the 00s generation never could bring to their matches. And his Streak is a big deal. He's never been beat at Wrestlemania so it's always a major part of the show. Everyone over 12 KNOWS the Undertaker won't lose, but WWE put a lot of work every year into making you forget that by the end of the fight. McMahon was up to shenanigans up to 2011. He's a big part of why Cena vs CM Punk at Money in the Bank 2011 and the lead up was so good. But then he retired from on-camera work via a 'fired by the board of directors' storyline. Sadly, record poor ratings for Monday Night Raw since Football season started have lead to him returning last week as a bit of stunt casting to get the TV numbers up. The TV ratings for everything are on decline and it's a losing battle, with DVRs and 1000s of other entertainment choices, so it's a losing battle I think. They seem to recognise this and are using the internet to release some of their shows now.

Well, regretfully, he's had ten of them now, so that's vague. Actually, to be fair, Cena had to carry the company at a time when it was gutted of talent and he kept the fanbase of kids in it, so I can't be too harsh on him and his un-intense intensity.

Over on Facebook I had some praise for CM Punk's work in WWE. Nick/NZA responded and we had a conversation Nicholas Custer - you and Eugene Manley are gonna make me start watching wrestling again Imam Baksh - I've been a wrestling fan for 8 years now. It's better today than at any time in those eight years. New wrestlers have come in over the last few years with excellent ability and personality and things feel fresh and the in-ring action is top-notch. Rent the DVD of the 2011 Money in the Bank PPV if you want an intro to the current state of WWE. Nicholas Custer - this is literally the first positive thing ive heard lately, everyone ive asked has said they're trying to fill in for the gap left by the attitude era of the late 90s/early 2000s Imam Baksh - The last 3 years have seen the emergence of a new wave of young talent. HHH took over talent development and went on a recruiting/development crusade. The previous head of talent development (generally held to be incompetent) got demoted 3 years back and eventually fired this year. Search youtube for anything with Damien Sandow, Daniel Bryan or Wade Barret. And of course, CM Punk. Eamonn Byrne - Nicholas is right. Wrestling has been pretty poor since the Invasion angle of 2001. You're talking out of your arse Jumb. Imam Baksh - The poor period ended 2 years ago for me, about the time CM Punk did his suicide-dive Messiah bit and Daniel Bryan became US Champ. And I never said it's back to 2001 standards. I'm saying the right guys are here now to restart that level of fun and entertainment at WWE and they've been building that up over the last few years since the changes started. It's no different from say a sports team building up after getting a new coach: They usually have a few seasons of enjoyable play before they actually win a championship. I'd compare present day WWE to 95-97 WWE where they were on the tail end of a poor run after losing the 80's stars, but Austin, Mick Foley, the Undertaker and Vince McMahon the character were establishing themselves in the company with good work night after night. --------------------------------------------------------- Anyone here watch WWE? Are you an old fan who's sticking with it? A totally new fan like me who got into it recently after the glory years were all done? A fan from the 80s/90s who can't stand what these young kids are up to these days and doesn't watch anymore?

I just wanted to let management know that this font/background combo really isn't working for me. It's near unreadable in both regular and quotation style.

Talking to an 18 year old today, I was surprised to learn that his favorite show was 'Friends' and he's working his way through the seasons on DVD. I was also surprised at my own reaction in that I felt like Friends wasn't worth being anyone's favorite show. Which is weird because I watched it religiously back when it was airing on NBC and enjoyed it a whole lot. Looking at reruns today a lot of stuff feels forced and overacted, but not more than any typical sitcom, so it may just be a case of me feeling like I've grown past this. But then again, I still get a kick out of the Simpsons when they put in some effort, so maybe not. Friends has definite high points. The cast was likeable and charismatic. Some episodes remain classic just from the sense of fun they brought into things, especially the early ones (Apartment switch bet and the Blackout episode come to mind.) So what's your take? Is Friends holding up in your nostalgic recollections of the 90s? Are you a new fan who discovered it as a retro show? Got a favorite episode or story line or general memory? Things that you now realise were crap? Any cast member not pulling their weight?

Gamertag is Jumbie40, but be warned, I have sucky internet so I can't actually play shit online. I'll try some of the stuff you guys mentioned and see how it works out. The reason I'm having trouble with this I think is because the game is a promotional download meant to be part of the Kinect package. My uncle bought it for me in Miami and then brought it over here to Guyana, so it was meant as a Miami-centric promo and not for Guyana. That's why I said Marketing people are evil.

So I'm looking for advice on a xbox issue. I went and bought the Kinect package and the system is awesome. Problem is that the free game I was promised is a DL and it refuses to let me DL to Guyana. Shit like this is why I have to concede that Marketing people really are evil and should go kill themselves. Anyone know of a work around for this issue? Any way to use proxy servers to get around it for instance?

Been getting back into playing pool now that I live 200ft from an admittedly poor quality pool table. I realised immediately there were things I was doing wrong that I used to do right, like not getting low enough. Not moving my arm in a vertical plane. So I went on youtube for some pool instruction vids. Turned out there were things I'd never known I was doing wrong, like adjusting the height of the shooting arm to adjust where you hit the cue ball vs using the bridge/resting hand to do so. I tried lots of different videos and I found one video series that is better than the rest. In terms of clarity of instruction, usefulness of information, how engaging the instructor is, even the lighting and camera angles being helpful. The instructor's name is Ewa Lawrence and the vids are here: http://www.youtube.c...s?feature=watch Here's her lesson on the stance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b82y7f7TFbw&list=UUrg6_afANn5GdoGFmf_Q5Lw&index=24&feature=plcp
