The Czech Republic

I read that and thought it said "So, is Trips whining?"

Edited for accuracy. Remember kids, not *everyone* can be witty or funny like me. It takes a special breed. Man, you REALLY believe your own hype.

Well, here we go. In the span of just under seventeen months under this name, I have now amassed 4000 posts. Crazy. Of course, there was the board crash that took away a lot of mine, plus my posts as Croooooow!, Sylvan Grenier, and Slovakia, so it's really more symbolic than anything, just hitting a nice even number like 4000. I was going to write a long drawn-out post, but I've already done too many of those this weekend. So I'll just say that you guys are great, and have kept me coming back here for the greater part of my tenure (minus a hiatus at some point in early 2003), and I look forward to much more time comparatively well spent at the Smart Marks. Creating "Tomko and Fertig," eating Vaseline, rambling on about WCW Saturday Night, arguing for the return of the state of the NHL circa 1994, and all that good stuff during my time has been great. And that was just in the last few weeks. So anyway, it's cool to be up there in post count with a minimal amount of post-whoring. And thanks again to the people in the community who give me interesting things to discuss. I is gots nothing but mad luv for all y'all.

Why isn't Fertig a classic yet? Come on

Did ABOBO even last a week? He was in and out even quicker than some Prince Paul aliasseseses.

Don't you think they'll just move Heat up an hour?

In my comparatively more awake state I realized I have made quite the double-entrendre. No really--it is for the trumpet. Compared with legitimate music-store sldie grease, Vaseline gets the third-valve trigger moving faster. So I use that. And not for any other crude means, Incandenza. And I ate some last night and it was weird. It felt like my throat was all lubed up and would allow food to slide down faster. So it's like a gluttony enhancer.

Yeah I am soooooo there? Hahaha it says "hemp."

I'm an American and I think those ads are bullshit. Especially coming from ESPN, who'd rather show a basketball game between two piece of shit colleges that I've never heard of than show an NHL game. ESPN will grace us with occasional hockey coverage but do so with an ad that their people are "making" hockey here in America. Just another reason to hate ESPN. I laughed out loud at that commercial. This would be like promos for the Toronto Blue Jays that go "Baseball: It's a CANADIAN thang." Yeah, we're manufacturing hockey in America, all right, we're just churnin' out guys like crazy, aren't we? I mean, Mike Modano, Jeremy Roenick, Chris Chelios, and I could go on and on and on. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud to be a citizen of the United States, but let's just credit where it's due and say that no matter how many teams we steal, and no matter how well the Devils and Red Wings do in comparison to the Oilers and Habs, hockey isn't our sport. As for hockey's popular being very regional, as lomasmoney said, well yeah. Of course it is. Try as they may, people in the South just don't care about hockey that much. For all the talk of Gretzky's arrival with the L.A. Kings making hockey a national phenomenon, and the Dallas Stars winning a cup, and all the front-office rhetoric, only Colorado has been a beneficial gain. To ESPN's credit, they do a passable job of covering hockey. Even though every game is seemingly contractually obligated to feature one of the 3Ds, it's decent enough through the regular season. The postseason is fun even though it seemed they tried their damnedest to not let people know the Ottawa Senators were the #1 team in the league and didn't even cover their first round series against Long Island, while Tampa Bay-Washington was there in all its "glory." And then Barry Melrose is a dumb prick, and that other guy has a habit of slipping up and saying "Detroit Wed Wings." Maybe ESPN isn't that good after all. I need CBC.

I feel that Roadblock never got his fair shake. The Dead End was a pretty cool finisher. (Moonsault from the apron assisted by the top rope.)

Thanks a million, Polkaroo!

An Ontarian Barney, eh? I bet the kids from "You Can't Do That On Television" would slaughter him if given the chance.

In a Manner of speaking... No no no, it's from a Lewis Black comedy special where he says he's at an IHOP and hears a woman just say that line to nobody in particular, and it drives Lewis nuts trying to comprehend the directionless non-sequitur of a statement.

Wait, is Polkaroo real?

Polkaroo is great.

Now that I brought it up and I have some sitting around as slide grease for my trumpet, maybe I'll try it.

I don't drink. I just wanted some sort of non-sequitur title and jsut that. See if people would reply.

So wait, WHAT is an Abobo??

"Now class, when I put this block of sodium in the water, we should get saltwater...right, class?" (Na + H20 -----> NaOH + H2, as caustic gas fills the room and kids gag) "See? The answer was no!"

Did you get any Police?

Wow! Words of wisdom almost as good as "Why buy the cow, when you get the sex for free" If it wasn't for that horse, I never would've made it through those four years of college.

Guys, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that we should all have faith in Vince McMahon on this one. I mean, there's the nepotism, and there's the TNA show with Hulk, and the nepotism, but you think Vince is going to hold back on the biggest event ever? WrestleMania is his magnum opus, and he's not going to let the most highly-awaited, most publicized event since the last WrestleMania at the Garden be anything but the most incredible show. He knows the ramifications of not going all out for his fans. If after all the wait, he pulls punches and just has HHH beat Randy Orton, he's never going to hear the end of it.
