    Who can we do without.

    I enjoy the General Wrestling thread because I like the discussion about old school stuff. The rest can be merged IMO.

    How many old timers are still around?

    I visit some other much more active boards but since we have like a grand total of maybe 30-40 people making most of the posts (non Wrestling related) it get stagnant and boring.

    6 years of posting at this place and not much has changed except that it's way.... way less active.

    School me on the ATL

    There is a position I *might* accept that would have me relocating to the ATL. I hear the food is good but the traffic sucks. I will also refuse to take on loyalty to any ATL team besides the Braves since I've watched enough of their games on TBS to feel comfortable with this.

    Apparently Shawn Merriman has some knee ligament damage - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp...tory?id=3548277
  9. Pretty much the whole No Way Out 2000 card and Wrestlemania XIX.

    Wrestling theme music = popular at sporting events. Especially HHH's theme.

    Ben Berrnanke doesn't want you to take a raise this year*

    Well, with the interest rate cuts, CDs aren't paying out that well either. Better than a savings account of course.

    I think that pbone is right in a sense that people should be aware of what a variable interest rate is, however I think he is wrong in regards to everybody knowing the ins and outs of home financing. If you watch Maxed Out, you will see where people went into areas where people had no more than 8th/9th grade educations and convinced them that the loan/credit terms were good for them. Take payday loans. I have no problem with them existing, however I have an issue with some states allowing them to have almost uncapped interest rates where some have interest rates at 45-60%!. 25%? Reasonable since it's usually bad credit people coming in and on a $100 loan it's $125 to pay back. In WA for example people with bad credit can get a car loan but it's capped at like ~27% (this of course makes that $9,000 car like $13,000), could you imagine if it was 60% just to have reliable transportation*? *This assumes credit mistakes in the past and a current history of paying things back on time. Not loaning money to someone who hasn't paid their credit card on time and is late every month for the last 6 years.

    School me on the ATL

    So it appears I will be having my final (only) face to face interview in the ATL on Tuesday next week so I will be in town Monday (8/25) afternoon - Wednesday (8/27) morning to do like a 3 hour meet everyone and then check out the city. Sounds more like a "make sure that personalities match and you like the city" thing and you're hired.

    It would have been better if it was a commercial and they were also singing along to the Siamese Cat Song from "Lady and the Tramp".

    The NBA Offseason Thread

    They were talking about Kobe taking $50 million to play in Italy on PTI today as well. EDIT: And I guess Dwyane Wade's been talking about it too. Just a way to try and squeeze more dollars out of the teams.

    OMG! They killed Chef!

    I'll be interested to see what/if anything Trey and Matt do with this but beyond that it's sad to see him go to the grave with such a warped view.
