A Happy Medium

YES!!! Eddy's hair has bounce to it for the first time in months! It's growing out!!!!

"Get out of the way!!" *looks to throw Funaki into the ring barricade, but throws him back into the ring instead* I also officially like this guy. That Samoan Drop from the second rope was nasty, too. The fact that he's quick, athletic, charismatic, and already made a connection with the crowd means one thing. He will hit the glass ceiling, and hard. Until then...they finally bring up someone who has natural talent. Score.

Every time I see the 2004 map, I chuckle at the D.C. voting.

On the topic of McGregor being too "bright" to be Bond, it's not as though James Bond is some dark, brooding figure. He's just calm and collected, something McGregor can play. James Bond can smile.

Orgy Linkin Park The Killers The Hives does Prince count? Disturbed (I did always enjoy their Steve Austin theme)

I saw the movie a couple of nights ago. A damned good flick. "You wanna know how I know you're gay?" "Because you're gay and can tell if someone else is gay?" As a hairy person, the chest waxing scene scared me.

One of the many reasons I'm not going to Ozzfest this year is because Maiden wasn't playing the Dallas date. I have another reason now. Unprofessional hacks.

There's one catch, tek. Guys a couple of months from now guys will yell to you that they want to fuck your ear lobes. Emo/hardcore...yeah. Everyone who was in with the emo crowd in high school were abercrombie & fitch whores two years beforehand. Everyone in "the scene" now are just fools. Jack is my favorite hard liquor right now, and while the style of the dirnk (strong...black label etc.) could catch on, the fact that emo kids, in general, are all talk and no walk pussies means that our manly drink will not be disgraced by this fad. They can't take the strong taste.

I was honestly thinking about making a thread on this. We'll just call it the Gund Arena anyway.

As did I.

Frank Thomas hasn't been at his peak since perhaps 1997. I believe it was in 1996 that he suffered a stress fracture in his foot. Honestly, ever since his last batting title, which was 1997, he hasn't been the same since. People forget that when Cal became the Iron Man, Thomas had not missed a game since he came up from the minors. Injuries stopped him from hitting 600 homeruns. I believe he is a first ballot HOF. He put up numbers similiar in the same timespan that Lou Gehrig did. Of course, I grew up watching him as a kid, so I am biased.

Miroslav needs to play for the Devils. I would buy the jersey in a heartbeat. Charlie Huff (sp?)....perfect name for a knuckleballer. Sam Gash Nene Guy Lafleur

I'm not at all surprised. Comedy Central threw in that Mind of Mencia show into Dave's timeslot and have been plugging it like crazy.

Using my Chicago Bear fan bias.....fuck both the Packer and Viking ratings. The Vikings have a 92 defense? How? Defense wins Championships, and they can't even make the damned playoffs. They made a few additions in the offseason, but that's bullshit. 86 on offense? Please don't tell me they are going to rate Nate Burleson as a 95 with Randy Moss gone. As for the Packers...eh, I have no problems with them except for the fact they are the Packers. Meanwhile, the Bears are better than a 73 if they are healthy. The O Line should be rated well. Grossman is probably terribly underrated. I can't wait to see how badly the Wide Receivers are rated. The defense rating is laughable.

A little bit of column A, and a little bit of column B. How long until this douchebag realizes that you can bring people back from the grave by paying the Grim Reaper a few bucks?

I would join you, Corey. I have no problems with vegans in general. I just have problems with the many who preach about it and look down on us normies.

That website makes me chuckle. I remember a bunch of people back in high school getting their hands on PETA pamphlets and actually supporting the cause. A good read.

I've been playing the game rather heavily since I bought it last Monday. I made this running back. 82 coming into Virginia Tech. I believe I won the Heisman during my Junior year. I saved it after the Senior season. I can't wait to draft him into Madden. 90 speed 89 strength oh yeah... I enjoy the in season recruiting in the dynasty mode and I also find that if you recruit enough players from a certain state they become a state that always has interested prospects.

Don't mean to be a wrestling geek but... When the two big guys with belt buckles ran in, they should've had the theme from "McLintock!" playing.

"Stroke Me" Billy Squire. And the Karate Kid song makes you want to hire someone to walk behind you with a boombox playing it on repeat.

Strangler > Poseidon I missed the drama. And Strangler looks nothing like I imagined.

Smarks Board Name: A Happy Medium Wrestlers Name: Arch “Archie” Griffon Height: 6’4” Weight: 302 pounds Hometown: Des Moines, Iowa Age: 27 Face/Heel: Tweener Stable: None Ring Escort: None Weapon(s): Doesn’t need any Quote: “I’m just here to make a day’s killing.” Looks: Arch is a big hulking man with red hair, and hazel eyes. He is ripped, and looks like he may be doing steroids or injecting horse testosterone every two hours. Outside of the ring, he usually wears a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, sneakers, and a pair of sunglasses. Inside of the ring, Arch wears white wrestling boots and white tights. Think of Ricky Steamboat back in the day and there you go. Ring Entrance: Unearth’s “Bloodlust of the Human Condition” plays around the arena, sending the fans into a frenzy of mixed reactions. Some boo, some cheer. The arena goes dark as the song starts up. It slowly fades to black, but right before it goes to black, the song kicks into gear, sending out some white pyro, that temporarily blinds the fans. Out of the pyro comes Arch, power walking out to the ring. He doesn’t acknowledge the fans, only the thought that his job must be done. Once he gets to the ring, he does some stretches to warm up for his upcoming match. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 9 (He’s very strong) Speed: 3 (Not fast, but has good leaping ability along with agility) Vitality: 5 (Not indestructible, and has back problems which do give him problems) Charisma: 3 (Can cut a promo, usually lets his actions do the talking) Style: Arch is all about power wrestling, though he can break out some wrestling skills if he needs to. Against other power wrestlers, he will fight fire with fire. Against speeding wrestlers, he will try to destroy them. Against brawlers…same thing. However, with technical wrestlers, he will be much more cautious. Signature moves: (one) Griffon’s Grasp (Arch grabs and opponents left wrist, and delivers a short armed clothesline. Using his amazing strength, Arch lifts his opponent back to their feet, and delivers another. He always does two, but can go on forever with them. (two) Powerbomb (your standard powerbomb with gusto) (three) Gridlock (Full Nelson with…you guessed it…gusto. May be used as a finisher if built up to. See finishers for more details. (four) The Lion and The Dragon (bulldog where Arch actually stands still with his opponent in a rear headlock and lifts the victim by the head and neck, and then falls to his ass) (five) Running Shoulder Breaker (six) Bloodlust Plancha (Running plancha to the outside) Common moves: (one) Snap Suplex (two) Backbreaker (three) Knife Edge Chop (four) Twisting Spinebuster (five) Rope Guillotine (six) European Uppercut (seven) Superkick (eight) Belly to Belly Overhead Suplex (nine) Superplex (ten) Northern Lights Suplex (eleven) Gutwrench Suplex (twelve) Half Boston Crab (thirteen) Running Leg Drop (fourteen) Flying Shoulder Block (fifteen) Victory Roll (sixteen) Double Chickenwing Cradle (seventeen) German Suplex (eighteen) Charging Yakuza Kick Into Corner (nineteen) Reverse DDT Rare moves: (one) Bloodlust Powerbomb (Running Powerbomb to the outside. Done on wrestlers 250 pounds and smaller, and only in big matches. Finishers: (one) Arch Nemesis (Cradle Piledriver which is usually up by a kick to the stomach, a nasty knee to the face, and then a grab into a standing head scissors. Arch doesn’t like making mistakes.) (two) Gridlock (only if the opponent’s neck and/or head have been injured) Bio: Archie grew up in Des Moines, and had a normal childhood. Tricycles, bicycles, and shitty beat up first cars the way he progressed in transportation. In high school, he excelled in amateur wrestling. He was ranked number one in his 220 pound weight class. However, an injury cut his amateur career short. He did not receive any scholarships for college, but luckily he was book smart, and wound up transferring into Northern Illinois University. He majored and graduated with a degree in Computer Science, making him the most muscular professional computer nerd in the country. However, immediately after graduating, the technology bubble burst. So Archie went back to Des Moines to find some simple work. He later went into wrestling school. After a few months in the SWF, Archie tasted mild success. His tag team with Manson was on of the surprises of the year, as they had come out of nowhere to become contenders.

Bruce Wayne and James Bond need a sitcom. I do however wish that any Batman franchise would find a good female character and stick with them for more than one film. Here's hoping that Oldman comes back. He is Batman's sidekick, and he doesn't wear tights. He wears a manly mustache.
