And the Celtics sign Marbury, and he's expected to play tonight. Oh boy, this is going to be either good or bad. No middle ground.

Here's what I don't get. Widmore and Ben are supposed to have been leaders and I guess Locke is supposed to be the new one. Yet through all of this we have Richard......what if he's the real leader pulling all the strings? And of course there's Jacob. They call Ben and Wiidmore the leader, but they seem to answer to Jacob.

Also another couple of questions. I watched all of this stuff (didn't miss a RAW from 93 to 2003 actually) but, it's fuzzy 10 years later. -It's hard to remember the Rock playing second fiddle to anyone. But, how long was he "just a member" of the Nation before he really started taking over? And when did he kick Farooq out? -Also the Nation was all huge and bloated, then I remember Farooq kicking everyone out and restarting with D-Lo Brown and Kama. Was the Rock and Mark Henry included in this, and how long did it take for them to come along? -Why was the Rock kicked out of the Nation? I remember it was D-Lo and Mark Henry that got rid of the Rock. Where was Owen in all of this? -When and why was the Rock kicked out of the Corporation?

When did WWF leave the Manhattan Center? Also I noticed in a lot of their earlier shows that the arenas were smaller, but nowadays they're huge. Were they running in smaller arenas or did arenas around the country get bigger? (i know there was a rash of new arenas and stadiums being built for a while)

Yeah, that's what I remember. Bischoff gave a telephone interview on the Nitro before that and he was getting angry when he was talking about his big surprise. Then at the PPV when Goldberg shows up he just starts saying "Surprise! Surprise!" Like it's some huge deal. Funny, because the Goldberg heel turn didn't go over AT ALL. I remember getting into the last days of WCW. Especially the Goldberg/Steiner series. I was always kind of a mark for the Goldberg character. I liked the badass destroying machine concept, just not the guy behind it all. But, I hate a lot of actors too and still enjoy their movies.

Couple of questions: -Was the whole David Arquette silliness and Russo in the pope-mobile AFTER the restart with Bicshoff and Russo? -Why was Russo still around after that, but Bischoff seemed to disappear? -How long did Goldberg stay heel? That was the worst surprise ever. I especially loved how there was nothing McMahon could do about it.

Quick question. Why did Jack and the Others leave the Hydra island to go to "New Otherton" and did they go by boat? The Others sure do go through a ton of elaborate schemes just to trick people. The Hydra Island, posing as a corporation for Juliette (is that her name? i can't remember), bringing Locke's dad to the island, dressing up like natives in costume and running around the island barefoot, posing at a camp full of empty huts, and I'm sure there's more than I'm forgetting. That's why I kept thinking they were Dharma before the Dharma initiative was revealed to have been wiped out because it just seemed like they were doing a ton of tests to screw with people. On top of that, is the Dharma Initiative still out there somewhere? Let's not forget they still dropped food for the Survivors. And I sure hope that button gets explained. Like a whole season revolved around that damn button, I gotta think it meant more than stopping an EMP from going off. Also, anyone think Libby in the mental hospital will ever be explained?

That's pretty much the feeling I got. Ben knew they needed to get back to the island, but didn't know how. When he found out it he needed Eloise he killed Locke. Ben's always been jealous of Locke, that much was apparent. He's always tried to make a fool out of him or kill him. I think it's funny that when the 815 crashed they hid out on the island and were lost as to what to do and discovered all the stuff on the island and were completely shocked by everything they found. Meanwhile, this new flight crashes and they find a building with supplies and everything is hunk dorey right off the bat. I still think Caesar works for Widmore. He sure was interested in the Dharma stuff, and he sure was keeping himself calm and collected while he was there. And he seemed to be looking for something in that office. Here's one thing I've been wondering. The Others dealt with whoever came to the island. In the 50's Richard said the soldiers wouldn't leave so they had to kill them. If they got rid of people so quickly and efficiently then why did they let the Dharma Initiative get so big and out of hand before having to exterminate them? And I find it funny that they lived on the island for so long, but when the Dharma Initiative was taken out they took over all their stations and camps. Where did they stay before? Where is the main "Others" base at? We still don't know that.

The Celtics lost to the Clippers!?!?!?!?!?! WTF!? Ok, I'm beginning to think they do need to add some piece or the playoffs could turn out to be a disaster. They've lost a handful of games they shouldn't lose and haven't showed they can really do it against the other two top teams in the league (Lakes and Cavs). I hold out hope that they have something extra stored for the playoffs like they did in the Finals last year, but that hope is fading fast. I keep hoping they're thinking "The regular season isn't as important as what lies in front of us." But, it's like they don't even care about getting homecourt, which was a huge help last season! Ugh, I forsee a Cavs/Lakers Finals. The media would probably have the biggest creaming themselves fest EVER over that one. I can't think of another situation in history where ESPN would go that crazy and be filled with that much overhype. My head might explode in that case.

It looks like AJ Price does. Finally!

I've just never been a fan of what Highspots has to offer. I've always loved the service and selection of Goldenboy Tapes. I hope they're still in business!

Is Goldenboy Tapes still dealing? The website is still up, but they haven't updated in a while. I mean WWE can provide awesome old school American DVDs, but a man needs Puro!

The message went through. Does he do DVDs?

I just wish I could remember the name of that tape dealer that I used to get all my Puro from. You know, the guy that didn't have an actual website...you just had to e-mail him? Was it Lynch? Can anyone PM me his e-mail address? He started doing DVDs and I remember he'd sell you WCW/WWF PPVs if you asked, he just never advertised he had them. Does he still sell?

WWE has done the Complete *Insert Big Name PPV Here* DVDs. Have they considered doing it with things like Great American Bash, Starrcade, Slamboree, etc? Because I sure wouldn't mind being able to get ahold of various WCW PPVs. Right now the only means of acquiring them is through.......*ahem* illegal means.

Wait a minute, what are you guys talking about with Michael Cera? Is George Michael not going to be in it?

It's now becoming apparent that nobody wants to be No. 1 in college basketball.

It's actually different everyday for me. I get 1200 on some days. I get 1800 on other days. And I get 2000 on some other days. Depends on the kind of meat I eat that day really.

I'm a bit more partial to Big Bang Theory myself. But, these two shows back to back provides an unrivaled hour of awesomeness.

The WWE version of WCCW. Was the Roberts DVD not that good? Does that Ric Flair DVD have repeats of matches from the original 3 disc set or is it all new? Yeah I get nostalgic a lot. I remember fondly to my days as a kid enjoying WWF 92, WCW 96 and 97, WWF 96 and 97 the most. Maybe it was just where I was at those times in my life. About the only new stuff I've really enjoyed was when I had 24/7. I enjoyed the Cena/Umaga Rumble match and whichever WM that was where UT and Batista wrestled. That was it on the new stuff really. Plus like I said I don't know anybody since I haven't followed reguarly for 5 years. So I'm lost on title changes, good matches, storylines and a lot of the wrestlers. But from 04 and before when I was a mark and a "smark" I knew every storyline, the in's and out's, the title changes, who was who and just about everything you can know. But, I'm more drawn to the 80's NWA stuff because I think I didn't watch it at the time. So it's like brand new to me. Yeah I know the basics and the feuds and who had the belts and what not. But, I've just read about a lot of that stuff and never actually seen it. That's the beauty of the DVDs and 24/7. Some of this is like brand new to us. And then the stuff I did watch and remember fondly like I mentioned above is a great trip down memory lane or sometimes you forget stuff and it's like new again. I kind of wish WWE would release DVDs that are the Best of certain years. Like Best of WWF 1992. The DVD could recap matches, and angles from the year. Just do an hour long documentary covering the big stuff from the year and fill it with a ton of extras. They could do the same thing for WCW. That'd be a big undertaking though.

So, for some reason the other day I decided I wanted to watch some wrestling again after not watching for nearly a year. Ever since I cancelled 24/7 back in August of 07 I haven't watched. Well, I tried watching the current product. The fact I haven't watched it reguarly since 2004 meant I didn't know any storylines and who the heck anybody was except a few names. So I was lost. Then there was the fact that I felt what I was watching was total crap. So, I decided to pick up some old DVDs since I really enjoyed Southern Style wrestling. So I got the Best of Starrcade DVD. It was awesome. But, I'm wondering. Did they ever release or are there any plans to release a DVD with Wargames on it? Also. I saw a few other DVDs I want. If anybody would be so kind as to rank them in the order of what has the best content and which you think I should get: The Road Warriors DVD set (yeah i'd have to find it obviously), The new Ric Flair set (i have the first one), the new Steve Austin set, Best of SNME, the Roddy Piper DVD, the Jake Roberts DVD, the Hell in a Cell DVD (doesn't seem like it could really have too much), and the Heroes of WCCCW DVD.

So I keep getting told by these crazy Crossfit people that eating low calories isn't going to work. That I have to eat over 2200 a day to lose weight. "Oh you better eat more or you're never going to lose weight!" For some reason the eating more=losing weight never really computed with me. So last month I was making awesome weight loss gains. But, I let these people get into my head and I upped my calorie intake for about a week and a half. I didn't quit eating healthy foods, but I ate more of it to get around 2200 calories a day. Guess what? I GAINED 5 POUNDS! Yet they're still hammering home that I need to eat more to lose weight and I'll never do it with calorie restriction. WTF? The thing that kind of bugs me about that whole community over there is that they're set in their ways and anybody that proves to be an exception to their rule is probably wrong and doing something wrong. Sheesh.....

Well here's how the vacation is supposed to go. We arrive in Ft. Lauderdale on March 12. We get a rental car and then check into our hotel (it's a Ramada Plaza). We're supposed to spend 3 days and 4 nights (or something like that) in Ft. Lauderdale just hanging out and going to the beach and eating and whatever. We get free meals from the hotel, but I want some seafood while I'm there! Then we're supposed to go to Orlando for 2 days and 1 night and go to Universal Studios (i don't think i have Island of Adventure passes, but i'll have to buy some). Then we're supposed to go on a 1 night mini-cruise before returning and driving back to the airport and leaving. So it's kind of a packed week. I'm bring $1500 spending money. I think that'll be plenty. I don't know how expensive the food or shopping is there really. I'm sure it's more expensive than Oklahoma obviously. So during that 3 days in Ft. Lauderdale I'm sure we'll make a trip to Miami. Are there any good rugby shops in the area VX? I wouldn't mind picking some stuff up if they have any shops. Also should I tan now? Because I'm sure the sun in Florida is much different than the sun in Oklahoma and I'm pretty white!

Why no rugby on any of the networks? I know it's not a popular sport in America, but damn I bet it'd get some ratings if they showed taped international matches (or even domestic Super League) on ESPN 2 during the afternoon instead of bowling, pool or strongman competitions! They showed USA 7's on ABC the other day and that was awesome.

Well OU wanted to prove they're more than Blake Griffin. They're proving that they aren't much more right now. They had a big early lead and they let it slip away. Now they're down 12. A No. 1 seed is flying out the door with Griffin's scrambled brain as we speak.
