Yep. Showed pretty good form, too.

Announcer: "That personal foul ended up not even hurting them!" Uh, a touchdown being called back doesn't hurt the Chargers?

Oh my God. I've never seen the option executed more perfectly.

I recommend Amazon, myself. You can keep listings on there indefinitely, receive credit for shipping, and there's less importance placed on feedback ratings, which makes it much easier for new sellers to be successful. The only drawback is that their fees are a tad higher. If you meant, like, a physical store, I'd recommend finding an independent store that buys games. The big chains (EB, Gamestop, etc.) usually pay significantly less than independently-owned stores.

With 30 games? Hell yeah. You could probably make 200-300 dollars back selling those individually.

This is going to be a defining game for the Jets, I think. Their offense has been fairly pathetic thus far and they face one of the best defenses in the NFL today. If they can get their shit together and beat Jacksonville, it'll be a good sign for the rest of the year.

Track of the Moon Beast is great. I haven't seen that one in a while, I should watch it again. "I forced my skull right through my face and refused to wash my greasy haaaaaaaaaaairrrr!" ------------------------------------- "Let's celebrate by littering!" ------------------------------------- "We're not too far from my place...and I've got all kinds of antiseptic there!" "Your place?" "My place." "I call it Antiseptic Manor."

Staying with the horror theme, I'd reccomend the Japanese film Audition. Without going into details, the final thirty minutes are the creepiest, most disturbing thirty minutes I've ever seen on film.

Yep. "By the way, my car runs on corn...green peppers...onions..." As far as Boggy Creek II goes... "Just resuscitate the patient and I'll be there at the half!" ------------------------------------- "Oh no, she thinks it's chew!" ------------------------------------- "...I saw the little creature." "No! Noooooo!" -------------------------------------

To be fair, it is Colorado. The contract was ridiculous, but the Braves probably thought Hampton's numbers were being adversely affected by Coors Field.

LAME

Oh, now you're gonna get it. *chases King with a broken beer bottle, a la Benny Hill*

Whoop. Sent my promo to MVS already. Should I re-send, or...?

Yeah, this is almost definitely happening. Him being pulled in the fifth against the Marlins was essentially a precursor to that. To be honest, I initially wasn't happy at all when the Mets signed him, but looking back on his first season with the team, he's been essential for what little success the Mets have had this year. He definitely lived up the high expectations the NYC fans and media had for him.

"The store owner's wife died when someone said 'ZA!'. It's not funny." ------------------------------------------------------ "Psh. I've said 'ZA!' in better places than this." ------------------------------------------------------ "I'm just gonna turn in here quick and say 'ZA!' to someone." ------------------------------------------------------ "Not gonna 'ZA!' your way outta this one, are ya smart guy?"

Bump. I saw The Touch of Satan for the first time the other day, which was the last ninth season show I needed to see. Amazingly funny episode. Quotes... "You didn't...call him, did you?" "Or mail anything." ---------------------------------------------------- "This is where my TONGUE lives." ---------------------------------------------------- "Just ram that moldy olive loaf into your loser face." ---------------------------------------------------- "There's been a walnut uprising."

Thanks, folks. I feared before returning that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the current group of writers, so winning this means a lot to me. Especially considering my competition. Thanks again.

Well...it's the most creative farewell promo ever written, I'll give you that. Seriously, Danny, I'm sorry to see you go. You've had an amazing career and are one of the best (if not the best) match writers in the history of the fed. Enjoy your newfound free time.

The Jets' is Pat Leahy. I can't find a site that has all the teams' respective leading scorers. Found the Jets' by entering the right combination of terms into Google.

Ah, never mind...as I read the bit again, I see that it's JJ's hands connected, not one of JJ's hands connected to one of Blank's. My mistake, sorry.

Another great, dramatic game at Shea tonight. Too bad the Mets are playing well about two weeks too late. However, I'm kinda disappointed that these wins are putting the Marlins out of it, as I wanted Florida to win the Wild Card if the Mets weren't going to. Edit: Oh man, Cleveland's just beating the shit out of the White Sox at this point. The Sox have gotta be feeling at least a touch nervous about winning their division at this point.

104. The sketch where Conan went to play with baseball with a bunch of 19th century re-enacters. "WHAT DEVILRY IS THIS?!" 105. "It's a place to staaaand...it's a place to gooooo...they call this laaaaand...ONTARIO!" 106. "I love you too, sir."

Cool opening. Mark out @ Red Boobies. Nice start to the Triple Threat Match. That always seems to be the hardest part; thinking of a realistic yet exciting way for all three people to immediately get into it. Like the scuffle between the managers. I got a chuckle out of "Pulls a Charlie Brown". Great image with the eye holes on Akira's mask filling with blood. Even though I imagine Rando will be miffed, nice bit with Devon being disqualified for Manson's chair shot. I don't think I've seen someone eliminated from a Triple Threat like that before. Commentary seemed to become thin near the end of the match, but the action that was there is very good, so whatever. Congrats to Akira on winning his first match and getting the #1 Contendership. I look forward to your challenge. =) Couldn't we have gone with an actual pathetic B-Movie actor? Ah well. Wasn't expecting that to lead into a match, heh. Deus ex Machina's entrance (that's their name, 'cause Blank suggested it and I love it) is the funniest mental image ever. Nice bit with WC being visably upset at the fans' reaction. Nice double-team reversal out of the Powerbomb attempt. I love how the MSG crowd is written here. Cool spot with Johnny desperately Shoteing an advancing Ghost Machine. Inventive ending with Johnny piling on WC to make the cover and keep Skull down. Can't say I'm not disappointed with the result, but it was a great match regardless. Nice interview with Card getting him over as a fairly cocky and dickish heel manager, explaining TKO's loss as a "stastical anamoly", among other things. I like the story behind the team very much. The Davenport saga continues. Whoever thought of it deserves, for lack of a better term, mad props. Funny bit with TORU immediately cheating and laughing at Ward's misfortune. I had a good laugh at "I'm a total cunt". Cool reversal to the Total Control. Good bit with TORU being confused at not having KOJI to tag in. I guess the best way to end a slapping contest is with two fingers to the eyes. It's like someone spliced in footage of the Three Stooges for a minute. TORU, as expected, cheats to win and gets the Tiger Driver. Of course, the snot rockets follow, and everyone goes home happy. Really good, funny match. BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL=fantastic. Great bit with the giant ground piano, I was hoping that'd be used at some point. Quick question, how'd Johnson scale anything, much less land a Blockbuster, with him being connected to Bruce? Nice spot with the cart into the counter, followed with Blank being run up and apparently only costing thirty dollars. That's a bargain. I was laughing throughout Johnson's entire arrow attack. Same goes for when Lamb Chop blasted JJ in the face. I really want a pair of Crimson Skull hands, those sound like a lot of fun. Oh God, the lightsaber fight. Amazing use of sound effects there. The Spaceballs Flamethrower/Fire Extinguisher contest is the greatest thing about this match, if I may be so bold. GREAT bit with Blank faking a fall down the stairs. I laughed out loud at "OH MY SHOE". Terrific match. Great job, Bruce. Cool start to the Zyon/Hawke with Zyon catching Jay off guard with the Flying Cross-Body. Great action at the beginning of the match. I really like that Hawke has the clear edge with any actual wrestling whereas Zyon manages to sneak in a quick Cradle or Headscissors whenever he gets a chance. Amazing spot from Zyon with him Somersaulting over the ref and diving into Hawke on the outside. Jay gets an opening with which to work on Zyon's arm thanks to a somewhat botched Powerbomb, and he takes full advantage of it. The Flying Single-Arm DDT is a damn cool move. Really nice counter to the Wing Span from Zyon. Hawke continues to work the arm over, but Zyon refuses to stay down and hits an assortment of amazing moves. Terrific exchange of pinfalls as Hawke's submissions just eat away at Zyon's shoulder and Zyon does whatever he can to escape them. Zyon finally hits the Final Flash, but Jay just barely gets his foot on the bottom rope. Finally, Hawke lands what's alleged called the Hawke Scoop, and it's over. Hawke shows his respect after the contest, and Zyon gets some well-deserved cheers. Amazing match from Jay here. Maybe the night's best. Appropriate beginning with Cortez immediately going after Maddix and Landon hastily retreating. Cortez almost seems like the heel here, with him dominating early on and humiliating Landon with some slaps to the back of the head. As I'm reading this, I'm getting a real Jericho and Christian fighting over Trish vibe, and wondering if it might be going the same direction. Cringe-inducing spot with Maddix pushing Cortez off of the top turnbuckle and sending him crashing into the guardrail, followed up with a Flying Elbow from the top rope to the outside. Maddix shows that he is a complete asshole by attacking the referee, a fan, and Megan within the course of a minute. Fantastic counter to the Riot Act Plus, as Landon spikes Cortez into the mat with a DVD. After countering the Shining Wizard, Todd gets the victory with the Riot Act Plus. Everyone goes home happy. Great match. Man, Boddicker's a pimp. But he's got bad news for Pretzler, who's sadly going to be out for two months. Scott's determined to be back as soon as possible, though, and I'm sure his return will be glorious when he does come back. That leads us to the glorious finale of the Legend of Davenport, in which the poor man's limo is stolen and his cat dies. I'm anxious to see what it exactly is that Wes'll be doing for two months...say, isn't Pretzler out for two months? Hmm. Thanks very much for the music video preceding the World Title Match, Toxxic. Helped me catch up a bit on what I missed while I was gone, if nothing else. =) And...I won. Excellent show, everyone. Great work.

Just edited my comments together...

Another great game at US Cellular tonight, even if I'm not pleased with the result. Indians should have been leading going into the ninth, but then again, the Sox center fielder really shoulda got that ball. Oh well.
