Whazzis?

I figured it was Bruce had been mindwiped. And aside from the internal dialogue, the writer flat out said that Bats wouldn't solve it. I highly doubt it's Atom, unless it's a SWERVE.

I happen to like the 'selfish player' Bud commercials. Also Ray Lewis draggin back the yellow line. "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? HNYEARGH!" Gotta agree with the chicken bowl commercial. He should have gotten slapped in the face with some scalding beans. Geico's parody commercials have been pretty spot on, in imitation if nothing else.

I'm sure you get the gist from the title. If you've got a local band you love, just name-drop em here and give a description of their music. I shall start Locale: Seattle Band: Schoolyard Heroes- A great hard rock band with a classically trained lady lead singer, and a backup singer well versed in the art of metal-growl. Great B-movie lyrics reminiscent of White ZOmbie, before Rob Zombie sucked (including a song called Contra which consists almost entirely of the Konamie code.) They have songs for download at, appropriately, [http]www.schoolyardheroes.com[/http] I'll have more later.

Crapssake, I'm sure it'll be straight to video. You think any kids' live movie survives with dignity? Look at the crazy Bud series. Not that I thought it ever had dignity in the first place.

They have that sweet, sweet, limited work week. Which you have to figure, probably cuts their prouctivity by 1/8

I know very little about the actual military situation in Vietnam, but couldn't we have just held a border with few casualties instead of just getting the hell out of Dodge? I don't see how they could realisitically battle an entrenched U.S. military.

As an aside question, the French economy IS sputtering pretty badly, isn't it?

I don't think China and India want to freak each other out. Japan, for obvious reasons. Britain does participate. Between WWs I&II, French and Germany seem reluctant to engage in military conflict at all, this will probably continue at least until the generation that witnessed WWII has died, and the ghosts are somewhat put to rest.

Pretty damn shitty, considering they had invaded Kuwait. However I can't think of a single world power who hasn't armed their enemies in the past.

I do hate that states sort of snuck in the banning of civil unions. The gay marriage issue is such a wedge issue, conservatives recognized it and used it for great political gain. People warned against it. I remember someone on the board (rant?) mentioned there was going to be a backlash, and someone else just ripped into them, basically saying 'how can you decide what we fight for.' That's denying common sense. The gay community, and those that support them now will have to persuade people, which will eventually happen in our lifetime, IMO.

Of course they're hypocrits in this situation. I still don't think of the U.N. or the French as evil, just completely pascifistic and ineffectual. I can't think that they don't see the problem when Spain's getting bombed so close to them. I think they're just scared shitless, and hoping it'll all go away.

SP-1 Some questions of legality can not be based on the bible. If we based our economy on the bible, we'd be completely socialist. And we all know how well that always works. Again, there is no mention of homosexuality by the four apostolic writers in the Bible. It's all in the old testament and, I believe, in some of Paul's letters. There are laws in the old testament that are frankly abhorrent, cruel and despicable. If anyone practiced those laws in this country, they would be in jail. That is a fact. You say it's "God is either God and His definitions are final, or He isn't and it doesn't matter." Well, how can you pick and choose which parts of the Bible should be made law in a civilized society, that espouses freedom -within the bounds of not harming others- as its very core? So if the only objection to homosexual marriage is religion, I really don't see it, unless you espouse murdering women who aren't virgins on their wedding day. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, but I just don't understand how modern Christians can look at the 180 between the Old and New Testament and not concede that the Bible was written by man, and we don't know everything that God intends for us.

I did really enjoy the backstage Batista segment a lot. Instead of being so hyper, he just seemed really sedate and at ease. Then he gave a great (as in not completely overblown) sneaky look and the inscrutable look at the belt.

The 6-man matches from Champions Carnival '95 general bore me to death, a shame since it's my favorite tourney ever. I just don't think 6-man tags fit that well with me in AJPW because: the slow build portion isn't as fun when it's hard to try to keep track of who did what damage to whom to see if it'll pan out later. Then a long stretch of interfering partners breaking it up at 2..... then finally someone seems to get the pin, and it often feels random. Plus 2 or 3 of them have Giant freakin' Baba, who is somewhat amusing, and probably once a great wrestler, but just made the younger guys look like crap jumping like they'd been shot after another slow old man punch. Seriously, if any of you guys have never seen Baba in motion, let me say, he makes Nash look like a freakin' spider-monkey in respects to their agility.

Well, Limp Bizkit was laughably bad, but I saw them at WM XIX, so I wouldn't say it really counts. ZZ Top was pretty damn bad. Sure they played ok, but they sounded exactly, and I mean exactlylike the radio, no changes in solos or anything. And they didn't whip out any unusual songs from their library or anything. Yeah Yeah Yeahs at EndFest was pretty damn bad, but that was less their fault and more the fault of the micing. The techno machine (only used briefly) was way louder than the drums were way louder than the guitar was way louder than Karen O.

1: Cannonball. Breeders. 2: Teenage Riot. Sonic Youth. 3. Bachelorette. Bjork. 4. Spanish Bombs. The Clash (having to pick one from that album) 5. Add it up. Violent Femmes.

Yesterday: Breakfast: A Camel Special Light and 20 oz diet Pepsi. Lunch: Gyro. Mmm Dinner: Can of Progresso Chicken & Wild Rice.

Wow Banders, you sure are King Shit for knowing some slang. Generally the east coast has much more and cruder slang than the west, going by my college experience. Get brain is fucking stupid. So is crushing guts. Sex shouldn't sound like Hellraiser. EDIT: 'I, Robot' looked like absolute shite.

Miami Vice was magic, but it won't translate to the big screen. That's not to say it'll be a bad movie. It could be either a good noir flick or a comedy. Miami Vice had an effortless cheesy charm though, and a really good comraderie between the two leads. P.S. The best part of Miami Vice has to be when Crockett shoots a plane (that has already taken off) with a PISTOL, and it just explodes. Doesn't crash, doesn't even have a small explosion then go down in flames, it explodes completely, sort of like the death star.

You can't overload, sure. But slow turns and ambiguous characters can be very big. I would site the Kurt/HHH/Steph love triangle and the Jericho/Rock feud during inVasion, and the Austin/Hart feud as examples.

It would be great, but I fear it won't happen. The writers can't even give the characters distint personalities beyond face/monster heel/cocky heel anymore. It's really, really sad. The worst part is they can't create distinct face characters at all nowadays. Witness Orton. Oh cool, he poses a lot now. Must cheer.

I was definitely interested in the AJW, U-STYLE is like the old Vader faux-shootfight promotion, (UFI?) right? I knew I didn't want CMLL, that's about it.

They got rid of Fongus? He was the funniest guy on the board.

Not so much, but prefacing the whole thing with a rebuttal is really weird.
