People actually ran up to the counter and yelled "CAMERAS!" "CAMCORDERS!!" DVDs!!!!" at me. I just shrugged and said "yeah, what about them?" The first ten minutes felt like an hour, but after 9 or so it was tolerable.

If gimmick posts count, Metal Ed's most embarassing life experience: Come ON, that's just fucking awesome.

Fucking Georgia Tech, motherfucking losers keeping motherfucking Tennessee out of the motherfucking SEC title game and sending them to the motherfucking Outback Bowl. Fuck. Tennessee sleptwalk through the game with Kentucky. Here's hoping that LSU annhilates Georgia so badly that the bowls look at them as lower than Tennessee... And I only caught the 2nd and end of the 4th quarters of the FSU/Florida game. It's Florida's fault Georgia is going too. And fuck Florida State for starting shit after the game. Fuck.

Very well then: success = profit-making, and profit = good. Is that sufficient for you? For a bunch of smarks (the operative part of "smark" being "smart"), you sure can't make logic connections.

I never watched Captain Kangaroo. I never even heard of it until I was seven. I was a Mr. Rogers kid (just forgot what the delivery dude's name was) until they went to puppet land, then I turned it off. I hated those damn puppets.

I never said that success = good, I said success = profit-making. I really wish you'd all stop twisting that.

As far as gimick posters go, I liked Prince Paul better than this guy. And I label you officially defective. Who better than Abobo (Metal Ed is disqualified from this question by being better than Abobo)?

Yes, unban him so he can freely post here again. Surely he'll never think of another way to come back... Honestly, is there a reason to still have the FREE CJ pictures anymore? You know what I mean.

Doubtful. That's what always bugs me about new records being set seemingly with every new big blockbuster, tickets are MUCH more expensive now than even ten or fifteen years ago, something I'd expect to go on all over the planet.

I'm still recovering from the "Prime isn't even a real guy, and is actually seven people all working together" revelation.

Holy shit, I remember this too, but I can't remember who it was. I think it wasn't the poster talking about it, but it was a friend of theirs who was doing it... crap, I can't remember. Either way, that was one of the BEST threads ever, not the worst.

Hey, I'm only unhappy with half of my family, better than being unhappy with them all. Fortunately they've improved in recent years, and it isn't so intolerable.

I give up. IT IS GOOD IN THAT IT IS PROFITABLE, NOT IN THE ASTHETIC SENSE, GODDAMMIT. Go back to your one-dimensional "adrenaline is magical pixie dust" argument.

Exciting matches that make no sense are NOT GOOD. Just because a movie draws money doesn't make it good, and just because HBK can't sell doesn't make it good. Besides, action movies with no substance usually fail after 1-2 weeks, while the "french art" crap (which BTW, I hate-I just like things that make sense) or any good movie usually draws in higher box office in the long run + higher overseas sales. THINK. Try reading my fucking post. The point is that it isn't meant to be good in the super-technical Smark sense, it's meant to be good in the markish sense, which is what really matters because they're out to make money and a card full of nothing but matches smarks would want would be boring as all-fuck and make very little profit. I didn't see a lot of technical marvels in the WWF main event during the Hulkamania era, did you? Look at all those ***** money matches going on during the 98-99 period. Technically sound matches have their place, but it isn't meant to be the only mode of operation, and only in sparse doses as the main attraction. Oh, and by the way: Top Ten Grossing Films of all Time, courtesy of imdb.com: 1) Titanic 2) Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 3) Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 4) Jurassic Park 5) Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 6) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 7) Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 8) Independence Day 9) Spider-Man 10) Star Wars Boy, you told me.

Yeah....I can't contain my excitement when Shawn does it. Really, I lose it every time. I cannot see it enough. Sometimes I watch hundreds of HBK matches one after another, just waiting for him to do it. He never disapoints me. Awesome. Every single time. My life feels improved after seeing it. The sheer excitement of a man "kipping-up" cannot possibly be measured. Just...so....exciting. Once again, most of you people are the critics the studios throw the arty films out for during the fall/winter seasons. I never said you overanalytical types liked it.

Fuck all this "selling/no-selling" talk. The Kip-Up makes the match more exciting, whether it makes sense or not. Exciting matches are GOOD. Exciting matches get the crowd into them. The crowd then is more willing to spend more time and money on the product after they leave the arena, as will those watching on television. This is why nonsensical action films make so much money. They might not be as technically sound as a French art house film, but they're certainly going to be more financially successful, and WWE and studios are companies out to make money, not please stuck-up critics. They don't like to hear too much whining though, so they stick a technical match out once a PPV, or in the movie studio analogy, their Fall/Winter films.

If they go 15-0 without playing 15 games (even counting championship and bowl games), they would certainly be a contender. I don't think anyone has ever won games that didn't even happen.

I want to know what FOOSTER thinks about Black Friday.

Um, where'd Rolling Sambos go? Why was he banned?

Pity it didn't happen when they had the old WWF title belt, that would have looked so much better on him than either belt right now.

Whoever made the others happen, along with the sigs, make it happen again.

Why are the Lions so good on Thanksgiving every year?

I have Thanksgiving here at home with mother's side of the family, but earlier in the day I have Bizarro Thanksgiving with my father's side of the family, where everyone is nice and supportive (even if this means boatloads of small talk) and loving. I come home to the warzone that is mother's side of the family, where the night will end with mother locking herself in her room after a huge fight with one of my uncles, all three of which I'd gladly kill in a heartbeat. My cousins rule though, so I guess it balances out.

Yes, I will now refer to hitting on women as "DEILIVERING!" Okay, so that was funnier to me than anyone else. Your next name is Mr. McFeely. You'll have to explain this one, I don't get it.

That wasn't me posting that, by the way.
