King Kamala

I'm posting just to say I've got dibs on next week's Let's Talk About thread. I haven't seen much pre-Hogan WCW, I started watching in February-March of '94 and even then I mostly watched WWF until I caught my first Nitro on Memorial Day '96 (good episode to start with). But I vaguely recall renting Starcade '92 as a mark and I did recently watch the angle where Sting got attacked by Jake Roberts and Ron Simmons won the lottery to replace him against Vader and won the title on YouTube. Wow, what a hot angle. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a crowd as emotionally involved in a match as the crowd for Simmons-Vader was. I love the black guy in the front row, jumping up and down and crying tears of joy after Simmons one. They really blew Simmons' title reign though. It could have been huge but it was always overshadowed by whatever Sting was doing.

Is the PTC still even around? Good ol' JN News is a mainstay of this thread. And I'll be pissed if there's some dude named Kamala working the indy scene!

Irving Blue Canoe is the Rolls Royce of Gas Station convenience stores. I've only seen them in Maine but according to their website they're in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut too. But man, what a gas station. Coke and Pepsi products on the fountain plus you can make your own milkshake- I've never seen another gas station where you could do that. Granted, I've never tried it and the prospect of a gas station milkshake doesn't sound too appealing but it's good to know it's there if I absolutely have to get a milkshake and don't want to run to the fast food place next to the Blue Canoe.

I'm glad to be paired up with Nightwing and Czech. Both are two of my favorite posters. I think Czech is the X-Pac of the group because he's the most CONTROVERSIAL, I'm Albert cause I'm big and have a somewhat hairy stomach and Nightwing is Justin Credible solely because he's the least known of the bunch. majormayhem1, Marvin, and EHME are The TSM's Dungeon of Doom!

Hey, speaking of Ferry, what would you guys recommend of Roxy Music or Bryan Ferry to me? I've always liked the little stuff I've heard from them and I've decided I want to pick some stuff of.

Has anybody seen these weird Head-On commercials that air on CNN all the time? I fall asleep with the TV on sometimes and the bald, black guy with the weird voice at the end wakes me up all the time. "I HATE your commercials but I LOVE your product!"

Jack Johnson's music is too boring for me to actively hate. Oddly enough, I kind of like some of the artists on his label (G. Love and Special Sauce, Rogue Wave).

He was also great in his recurring role on Freaks and Geeks as Eli the retarded guy.

Drake and Josh is just Kenan and Kel with white people! On a similar note, I just DVRd about 8 episodes of Kenan and Kel off The N or one of those channels that I'll likely never watch.

#441. OMGZ CHRIS BENOIT IS DEAD jokes...I'm all for vaguely tasteless jokes, but these stopped being in about six months ago.

Early candidate for Thread of The Year IMHO

I really like cream soda but for some reason I don't get it more than once or twice a year. Do any of the big soda companies still make strawberry soda? I used to drink that every day in middle school but then I got sick of it and haven't had it in years. I want to try some solely for nostalgia's sake.

I'm still confused as to how Marvin went from voting for Nader to being Glen Beck's BUTT boy.

Czech, have you even seen Juno? It's actually pretty good. Overrated but pretty good. Clerks: The Animated Series spoofed Schindler's List with Flintstone's List.

majormayhem makes me ashamed to be a Patriots fan and a resident of the State of Maine. The guy is one of the worst new posters we've had in a while.

I'm living in a dorm room right now so that's not really possible. Anyways, one Filet O Fish every couple years won't kill me. Can't be any worse than what they put in a hot dog and I eat those all of the time.

Now for the first time in a half-decade, I'm craving a Filet-O-Fish. Thanks Milky!

I can see what you're saying. And at the risk of dragging down this folder with wrestling talk, I don't really see what's wrong with inducting Bam Bam and Earthquake into the Hall of Fame. They both had solid runs and they're both dead which certainly helps their cases. And I'm not going to lie, even though I disagree with his induction, I'd mark hard if Koko showed up on WWE TV with the parrot again.

I think Reynolds is passable (Not good mind you but passable) in comedies. Like I said, I think he's got a Chevy Chase quality to him. And that's both a compliment and an insult. I think the absolutely shitty scripts and mediocre supporting casts don't help.

....I like Bill Simmons. I don't know why, I just do. I certainly understand all of the criticisms against them and I think most of them are right but I like the guy. This forum can't change my love for Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman

Cheech, I'm sorry but you're wrong on this one. The WWE Hall of Fame doesn't mean shit. Johnny Rodz and William "The Refrigerator" Perry are in there. I don't see why people get worked up one way or another over it. I guess that #440 will be people getting worked up over WWE Hall of Fame.

I've never thought about how DDP's win affected the title but come to think of it, it did sort of hurt the title's credibility. DDP wins the title out of nowhere at arguably WCW's last big PPV (Spring Stampede) and then out of nowhere turns heel a short time later. I've always liked DDP but I always thought he was kind of cliche and tacky as a heel, certainly not World Championship material. Then Kevin Nash wins the title a month later and that worked so well the first few times...

I don't know about Spanky but Norman Smiley got over using that schtick in WCW in a time when very few were getting over.

Milky and my dad are the only people I know who order the fish sandwiches at fast food places on a regular basis. My dad nearly swerved off the road a couple years ago when he saw IIRC Burger King was offering a spicy fish sandwich for a limited time.
