Around when was this? I think that I'm F-ing up my opening acts ... the Slapshot & SBC show was when Bad Brains had Chuck singing. (still a good show, but not the one with HR). The one with Chuck was when I was in high school, so must have been 91-92ish, the one with HR was a few years after that. Long past their prime, obviously, but still a very good show.

I'm presuming that she makes the company money off of shilling her merchandise (e.g. Divas videos, magazines, publicity from things like Playboy, etc.). And as much as a lot of people here turn a blind eye to it, the WWE is a business first and a wrestling organization second. She probably brings more to the company - as an employee - than a lot of the skilled male wrestlers do.

In no order: - The first time that I saw Bad Brains w/HR, at the Channel. Slapshot and Sam Black Church opening. - Circle Jerks from two years ago, at the Paradise. - Ozric Tentacles, at the Paradise. - The first time that I saw Social Distortion, at the Channel. - Iggy Pop, at Axis. - Mission of Burma, at Axis. - I'd have to put a Phish show or two up there as well, but would have a hard time picking one or two that I could name as my favorite. - Radiohead, at the Tweeter Center.

How do people from outside of New England feel about the Sports Guy? I don't mind reading his works, but kind of figured that people from outside of Boston or New England would hate how biased he is to this area. When I was in Colorado and had to read Woody Paige's biased mumbling's, it used to piss me off to no end. I can't imagine taking that style to a national level.

But there weren't enough Devils? While I do understand their logic (replace one Devil w/ another), I don't agree with it. Now it looks like the Devils have THREE of the top defensemen in the entire Eastern conference. While the Scotts are both very good, I just don't think of Rafalski as being among the Eastern elite.

I'd thought that it was originally a one-night supercard, and then was broadened to the point that it was a summer tour, and then became a PPV. I thought the first one was in 1985, and took place outside in Charlotte. I remember a few of the matches (Flair-Nikita Koloff, Road Warriors-Ivan & Krusher Kruschev, Magnum TA-Kamala, Dusty-Tully, Manny Fernandez and two people I can't think of vs. Superstar Graham, the Barbarian & Abdullah).

Good thing he had a hunting knife with him in the shower for protection, then, huh? (note to self: carry weapons in the shower with me, just in case I need to defend myself)

Keeping in line with the non-hip hop or rap theme ... Waiting Room, by Fugazi

Funniest thing that I've heard all day ... thanks, Mole. And Julie is a hypocrite ... she talks about how she still considers herself true to her Mormon beliefs, but then says that she's glad to see that they had a bidet so she could "wash her ass out". Now, I'm not completely learned on the Mormon beliefs, but methinks that they're probably against the talking to a guy about washing your ass out, on national TV to boot.

See-da-boo-see-da-boo-see Come on be my lady tonight Come on be my lady tonight I see the way you treated other thugs you been with So come on be my lady tonight Correct but replace lady with baby.....and......... Dab-o-Dwee-Dab-o-Da My favorite thing about New Orleans David was the fact that he put a bumper sticker on his room door that said "Stay out of the way, or you're going to get played" and then proceeded to take nothing but fat women home. No offense, he-man, but taking pigs home does NOT make you a playa.

Actually, Damaramu, each person that was DQed for falling used their bungee cord - it was a mad short bungess cord, though. Basically, each person rode the harness as far as it could go (until about the halfway point) and from there they would disengage from the harness and do the crawl thing to the end. From the halfway point until the end, the only thing that would stop them from falling the 17 stories would be the safety bungee. And it was that bungee that Julie was trying to undo. So, if Julie'd been successful, the only thing keeping Veronica from falling about 170 feet to the concrete would have been her own arm and leg strength. And she doesn't strike me as the strongest of women. She could have stayed on the harness, yes, but would have had to wait until someone else came out to where she was hanging and have them re-attach a safety bungee. (Most likely would be pretty scary sitting there 17 stories up, just hanging with no real means of support). If that c**t had tried to fuck with my bungee, I'd have told her to fuck herself too.

When I was in high school, a friend and I broke into this other "friends" house and hid an all-black gay male porn in his family's VCR. In our pot-fueled daze we presumed that this kid's family would find it and be all concerned that their son was not only gay, but had a black fetish. Unfortunately, when his family found it they blamed his housekeeper, and fired her that day. Oops. It's been almost 15 years, and we still hang around with this kid, and he has NO IDEA that it was me and my friend trying to pull a prank; he thinks that his cleaning woman really dug black gay porn.

The Breeders - Cannonball

Would it be wrong to take a minute to laugh at the Rangers expense? They finally pull the trigger on the Jagr trade, and then watch as one of their hotter players goes down with an injury? As much as I hate all 3 of them, the Lindros/Barnaby/Simon line was playing pretty well lately. And the Rangers better pray that there's not a salary cap next year; they have $70-million tied up in 14 players, and the guesstimate around the league has the cap at somewhere around $35-million. Looks like they'll either be paying a huge ass luxury tax or just GIVING players away.

So, did Lindros hurt his brain in the hit by Doig, or the fight afterwards? Reading the article it sounded as if it happened in the hit against the boards, but if he was already shaken up, why the FUCK did Slats let him go back out there, let alone go out there and fight? While I really don't like to see any athlete get hurt, it'd be hard not to laugh if he had to miss significant playing time because he got hurt in a fight after he'd already suffered another concussion. Maybe this is karma for him KOing Thornton in last week's fight. EDITED: I just did some more reading on this, and the folks at the hockeyfights pages seem to think that the hit is what caused the damage, as the punches in the fight weren't anything more than glancing blows. People are also acting like this might be it for Lindros, b/c even though this is a "minor" concussion, it is #8.

Could have fooled me. Wait ... which part is confusing? Are you implying that in the past have I joked about other people's addictions to seem cool and/or funny? or Are you saying that it's cool and funny to make fun of people's addiction problems?

Probably 90% of the wwe audience doesn't know that the two "divas" have been announced already. It it had appeared in a wwe sponsored magazine, or on wwe.com, then it would be laughably obvious. But for it to have just announced in Playboy only, then I don't think that it's too stupid for them to continue this charade. (well, I do find it stupid, but not as obvious as it is to those of us in the know.)

To those that claim how obvious it is what drug Hardy was addicted to, is it possible that you could enlighten me? The only one that really makes sense is painkillers, but everyone says "oh, he's a crackhead" ... trust me, I can speak from firsthand experience, his actions were NOTHING like the normal ones a crackhead would indicate. It's not coke or crack, he'd be all charged up, not all lethargic. Maybe heroin, but the people that I knew that were on heroin did not act like Hardy did at the end. Maybe pot, but I think that RVD does a better job of indicating how a stoner would act than Hardy ever did.

That's definitely worth a pizza trophy, man. Nice one. The Piazza joke is getting all the press, yet your pitcher joke is twice as funny and more original. I can't believe how much hell this guy is going to go through when the Indians are on the road. All of us classy fans in Boston, and NYC, and Chicago, will have a field day with this story.

Took the words out of my mouth ... why would HHH, the guy that undeniably has the most pull behind the scenes, carry around the "lesser" title? Wouldn't he have found a way to make his title the #1 belt? Or does the hhhate only apply when it's convenient?

nl5fact: nl5xsk1 thinks that making fun of people with addiction problems isn't cool or funny. nl5fact: nl5xsk1 would rather watch a rejuvenated Jeff Hardy than a lot of the indy fanboys that most people on this board give the verbal fellatio to.

It absolutely cracks me up that Eddy and Benoit - the two guys that most smarks are most enamored with - are getting title shots and huge pushes but people are still complaining. "Eddy won't win it 100% clean" and "Benoit is going after the wrong belt" and "Their reigns will only last a few months" ... come on, you're getting what you wanted and yet you still bitch and want more. I hope that this all falls through, and next Monday it's announced that Bischoff traded for the FBI and their feud with Benoit is going to continue all the way through Wrestlemania, and that at NWO a returning Gobbely Gooker costs Eddy his match and that sets up a Wrestlemania feud as well. If people are going to bitch and moan, at least then it'd be something worth bitching and moaning about.

Maybe some time off helped Hardy get over some of his personal demons, and re-ignited his passion for the sport. Maybe he's in better shape both physically and mentally. Maybe we should let him come back and then judge him. Naaah, it's more fun to just slam him based on his past. Why bother giving him a second chance, right?

Laz, how can you say that Eminem exceeds hype? I'm not knocking his music (although I do think that he sucks) but with the amount of smoke that's blown up his ass, it's physically impossible that he'd exceed the hype. Just my $.02.

They're halfway there, and beating the Caps shouldn't be too difficult. I think that the Rangers would be better off without Slats regardless of how the rest of the season pans out. He was great at making magic happen with small-town, small-bucks Edmonton, but he's just not working it as the guy in NY. I don't see how the Rangers, with all their skill players, have gone so long without making at least a Bruins-esque cameo appearance in the post-season, and the last few years can be attributed to Slats. I'd say that the Rangers should find a good, young GM and stick with him for a few years, and hire Ted Nolan as their coach. It won't be an overnight turnaround, but will get them back to respectability. Of course, having said all that, fuck the Rangers. I love to watch them lose.
