Since this place needs a standard of awesome, I'll volunteer to be evaluated and set the bar.

Also, the numbers 666, 69 or 420 in their name. Agreed. And if they have any reference at all to a wrestler in their name, they probably suck. That should not be confined to HHH or RVD. If they have both a wrestling reference AND one of those numbers in their name, then they've hit the double whammy for being awful. Someone named 420RVD69 would theoretically be the worst poster ever.

Read all about it here. Interestingly, Kryptonsite has reported that Tom Welling was offered the role, and that a "T. Welling" playing the role of a certain "Kent" is on the casting list for Batman Begins. Personally, I don't think WB needs to rush out a Superman movie, though they apparently feel differently. If this casting is legit, I like the fact they're going with an unknown. It worked out pretty well the last time they did it for a big-screen Superman movie, after all. Discuss.

On the contrary, I hope he suffers tremendously. I hope he's in blinding agony for days. That worthless piece of subhuman shit deserves it for all the deaths he's caused over the years.

In an effort to consolidate the rasslin' folders, we've merged Wrestling Polls and Lists into General Wrestling. It's one fewer forum to scroll past, and consdering the often random topics of the polls and lists, General Wrestling is the best place for them to be. We're probably going to consolidate further, moving Old School into General as well, unless there's a strong public outcry against it.

That might be the most absurd legal opinion I've heard in a while. I know it's the 9th Circuit and all, but that's bloody OUT there, even for them. And it's pretty obvious that animals can't sue, since they have no rights.

Wow, this thread was good until people started posting in it. I think Mike and Tyler need some of TEH GHEY SECKS to get all that pent-up passion out of their systems. And since I hate those multi-quotes so much, this is closed.

Whatever's convenient and not gouging the price too bad. Usually, I hit up either a Wawa or a Royal Farms for gas. BP and Amoco around here are usually expensive, so I'll avoid those if I can.

Is it necessary to?

And Kerry wants to work with this bunch of limpdicks? They can't even agree on a DEFNINITION of terrorism, let alone condemn without worrying what the fucking piece of shit countries who support it think. I'm sure we have at least 56 nukes remaining...

I read an article about the prequel movies a while back, and they had an interview with Terence Stamp. He was talking about shooting a dialog scene involving himself and Natalie Portman. So he gets to the set, and Natalie Portman has been replaced by a stick with a ball atop it, and of course, they're against a blue-screen background. When Stamp asked where his costar for the scene was, Lucas said they'd film her part later -- presumably with her talking to a stick, too -- and just merge them together to make the scene. Do I need to expound on how *ridiculous* that is? Stamp should have protested more. I would've marked out if the conversation had gone: Stamp: Where's Natalie? Lucas: Oh, we're going to film her part of the scene later. In the meantime, you can read your lines to that stick up there. Stamp: WTF? Lucas: Hey, I'm a genius. You were in The Limey, fer Chrissakes. Just talk to the stick so I can go jerk off to some more unnecessary CGI footage. Stamp: I demand a human co-star for this scene. KNEEL BEFORE ZOD~!

Dr. Tom is on drugs. What the heck is that babble? Anyone who follows baseball and its trends should find that very easy to comprehend.

Maybe Mussina shouldn't have been warming up. He wasn't told to, so it's something he got up and did on his own. However, Mussina was never the type to show someone up, so I don't think that's the reason he did it. He probably felt he needed some work. The hometown fans obviously wanted to see him pitch, and it's ridiculous that they never got the chance because Gaston was an immature crybaby who thought he'd been dissed. Grow up, Cito, and let the man play in his home stadium. I think it's silly to play *everyone* in an ASG and have a 2002 situation, but you ALWAYS get the hometown players out there. Supposedly, Mussina apologized to Gaston a year or two after the incident, and all was good between them. What he should have done is kick him in the junk and toss him down the dugout steps for being such a childish cretin.

Or perhaps, "Get Your Learn On and Your Snack On!"

Loud beeping codes are usually either system RAM or video card issues.

"Wow, I can get my 250-pound daily food intake in one place!" "Before you eat me, you should know I was married to Tom Arnold." "... Nevermind."

If they're lucky, Giambi might retire because the steroid withdra... sorry, benign tumor has left him so weak and shitty. Of course, he should stick around and continue to be ineffective while counting for about $18 million in totally unmoveable salary. Ha ha. Yep, free agency sure is the best way to go...

CITO SUCKS! CITO SUCKS! CITO SUCKS~! Actually, I was in the section (right behind home plate, w00t~!) that started that chant at the '93 ASG. The four guys behind us started, then my boss and I joined in. Soon, the whole section was chanting it, and then it spread to the stadium. Within days, "Cito Sucks" T-shirts were available outside Camden Yards. Mussina was getting some work in. Gaston could've tossed the home fans a bone and brought him in, if only to face one bloody hitter. But your boy was too much of a jackass and thought he's gotten "shown up," so he doesn't. Who doesn't play the home players in an ASG? Stupid assholes like Cito Gaston, that's who. Fuck him, I'm glad he can't get a job in baseball. As for Mussina, I honestly can't fault him for going to New York. He'd given the Orioles the "hometown discount" on his previous contract, drawing flack from his agent and some others players (I know either Glavine or Maddux were quite outspoken about it -- I think it was Glavine, since he was the Braves' union rep). He let them know that would not be the case on his new contract. So the Orioles ignored that and lowballed him the entire time. When it became clear he was [i[thisclose[/i] to signing with the Yankees, the O's upped their offer, but it was still below NY's bid. Note that they pulled the same tactic on Rafael Palmeiro when he left after the 1997 season, also. It's Angelos' fault those two guys left town; the Orioles should have locked them up for life.

Interestingly (or perhaps, expectedly), the best movie in the series is the one Lucas neither directed nor wrote, and that would be The Empire Strikes Back.

Wow, she's 66? I knew Kerry married that crazy bitch for money, but I didn't know he married an OLD crazy bitch for money.

Edited for accuracy.

Very true. Al, do you think of the Sox's remarkable comeback here as some kind of vindication for the Sabermetric Revolution? Billy Beane, Epstein, and the like get put down by popular baseball media folks, who still cling to the notion that sacrifice bunts are worthwhile. Does this give Beane, Epstein, et al the vindication they need, or will that only come with a World Series win?

Pretty good episode last night. I liked the way they characterized The Flash on the show, and I also liked the nods to other Flash identities and the eventual Justice League. Next week looks to be exceedingly silly. I'm not a fan of absurd sci-fi notions like body transference. I will say, though, that both the powers transference shows were good in spite of themselves (and in spite of the fact that I hate that idea, too), so maybe this one will end up being OK. I'm not holding out much hope, though.

Have a good one, mang.
