"WHAT'RE YEW GONNA DEFEND THIS CUNTRY WIITH? SPITBAULLS?!?"

Oh, eat my ass. I really should have just changed my avatar and sig at the same time to mess with everyone trying to figure out who it is, but nooooooo, I had to go with the public gratitude route.

I want to see some trading action tonight, or on Smackdown. If you don't exercise that option, why bother mentioning it in the first place? Didn't they also say that "contracts with the brands" could be re-negotiated at this time as well?

Me, my eyes are wide fuckin' open.

Cruis'n USA.

Man, I'm going off in the new direction of messageboarding, I'm acting like it's 2055 and shit, and you people are all "we're cavemen in lol2005." Evolution is a mystery!

I really really wish the CART/IRL split hadn't gone down. F1 drivers might not be on the same level as NASCAR drivers at this point if the split hadn't happened, but it'd be a pretty big sport still.

Did Zell Miller ever defect? Shit, might as well if he hasn't already. We don't want those buzzkills in the party.

I hate to keep referencing the show since everyone's doing it anymore, but the quick match Jericho had at ONS surprised me in that he went out there and hit the usual signature spots, but the rest of the match felt different and in the good way. It made me kinda get behind him again after a series of disappointments following the Michaels program at Wrestlemania XIX. I think he can switch up and freshen his style if he wants.

The Rock, but even then it wouldn't be for long. It's important to keep moving forward considering WWE's future stars are finally blossoming, but now when I see people from the Attitude era (HHH and UT spring to mind) I look at them as anachronisms. Rock would come back for a couple of years, but spend that time making people.

Austin/HHH and Undertaker/Kane didn't really start their program against "The Two Man Power Trip" until a couple of weeks after Wrestlemania, to give Rock time to get taken out, HHH to win the IC strap, and the "HHH and Austin chairshot the shit out of the Hardys and Lita for a couple of shows" angle, which lead to Undertaker and Kane coming out to do the nice thing and stop the violence. All while I was watching Backlash 2001 I thought to myself "this doesn't feel like a PPV, this is like a big Raw or something. What the fuck." Something seemed wrong, but I didn't know it was only the beginning of the decline in quality that bottomed out around No Way Out 2003, I feel.

I think Jericho can still be saved, optimist that I am. It means going to Smackdown in my mind, but either way I think he can be credible and in the main event again. The window is closing pretty fast though.

Well Kotz, bigger and more doesn't necessitate 'better'. Take the Italians for instance, or (possibly) the Israel Likud (If you consider the "Split and coalition" way of gaining power to be a bit dirty), and some South American countries (Which use foldout posters with hundreds of pictures to choose public figures). The problem with our third parties is that they too often only shoot for just the gold, not trying to build up a base first. You need victories in the Senate, the House, and in State Legislatures to really have a chance to win, and none of them have really gotten around to that part of it. It's not societal differences, it's simply political reality and lack of thought on the third party's part. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasn't really meant to be a slight on our system, that part. It just goes in line with how America has developed and matured compared to other parts of the world. And the third party comment is right. The Socialists got a million plus votes in a Presidential election not because they charged out of the gate, but actually had elected officials around the country already. The closest current third party (the Libtertarians, I guess, maybe the Greens) doesn't even have anyone you can really point out and say "look, these people here think it's good, as do these people over in this other part of the country." It's all a big popularity contest, so don't come to the prom without any friends or knowing anyone there.

"You're The Best Around" from the Karate Kid soundtrack, no idea who the band is. Such a positive song, you feel like going out and festively jogging while everyone on the street says hello and tells you how much you kick ass. That's way more valuable than hypeness, that's confidence.

I thought to myself when it was 96-95 or whatever before the final three that they'd better keep at least one person on Horry at all costs, since the usual players were quiet in the end. Horry decided the Pistons weren't getting any soup tonight and might have won the series for San Antonio with them heading back home. Funnily, I thought that the Pistons would surely win because they seemed way more relaxed than the Pistons in the late 4th and Overtime. They were smiling and talking and stuff, and the Spurs were all looking like, well, you'd expect a team to look at that juncture of such a tightly contested game.

AD is beating out FG simply because it's sticking to plot as best as possible given the humor of the creators. As fun as random sidetracks are, there's a point where they become too much. FG is turning into the show for ADD, and AD requires some degree of paying attention.

In light of this position (which won't change because it's too well-supported by finance laws and all that stuff), I'd like to say I'd love to see us take on a European-style system. Still with a strong executive, but with the need to form coalitions between parties and whatever because the population never has a clear majority favorite. It speaks a great deal about American culture and our societal development when we develop a system in which you have one of two choices, but in other parts of the world you can have as many as ten choices that are contenders so to speak.

That's really not what I meant. I'm talking about the fact that Dwayne Wade was shutdown by the great Pistons defense in Game 1 but came back and put up 40 points on their asses. I'm talking about Amare Stoudemaire going nuts this whole post season and Steve Nash dropping all those points on the Spurs. To quote Charles Barkley, "This aint baseball where good pitching can beatgood hitting. You can't stop good scorers from scoring." I'm not trying to knock the defenses, but I really don't want to see two offenses pass the ball around until the shot clock is up and then shoot a bad shot. Good defense or not, that shit is ugly. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's each side constantly readjusting in the offense/defense debate. A great defense can shut down a guy, do the same things to him the next night but still have the dude score 25+ because he changed his game while the defense stayed similar. The next night, he does the same stuff and gets snuffed out by a re-worked defense. Yeesh, it's not that hard. But in the end, defense, not offense, is more of a "great team" barometer.

Hey WP, don't ever PM me. Fuck, at least say what a wing cock is if you're going to get us to believe in this character.

I ignored this thread for too long.

It's a work. Boooooooring. I want to know what a Wing Cock is. And WP needs to know not to listen to anyone when it comes to females and do what comes naturally. Not what comes logically, thought before actions just dooms them.

There's a story that Chris Benoit dissapeared on a RAW, and Triple H was looking for him. Triple H eventually found him, put his arm around him, and said, "Where have you been?" Benoit told him "Oh, sorry, I went back to the locker room to do some more stretches." Benoit and HHH then went to prepare for their segment. No one knows why this was reported.

Doring and Roadkill? Nova and Chetti? WHIPWRECK AND TAJIRI??

Wing cock?!
