I imagine most of WWE's writers are in the union because most of them wrote for shitty sitcoms and soaps before they wrote for WWE. It'd be pretty cool if they aired some old episodes of RAW and Smackdown! But most likely, they'll either carry on without said writers or they'd air lame clip shows. I imagine SNL would be really impacted by this as well. I think they've had to cut to one or two seasons short due to writers strikes.

I'd agree but it'd kind of hard to not be cause it really is a huge ripoff of The Rubinoos "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", which is a damn fine power pop song "Girlfriend" isn't nearly as good as it but I'll take it over Sk8er Boi or any other any Avril song I've heard any day of the week.

What is WITH those types? I knew a guy just like that, but I don't think marijuana was involved, just RPGs. This guy could kick ass at everything he ever did. He was the first chair trumpet in wind ensemble, but he never auditioned for jazz ensemble because that would mean he wouldn't have a study hall. He was an amazing basketball player, amazing volleyball player, pretty much any sport, he could do, but only within the confines of a required gym class, because he didn't want to actually be on any teams. I don't think he ever went to college. I don't know what he did. It was the weirdest thing. I'm gonna look him up on facebook and myspace. (EDIT: No sign of him. Either he offed himself or he was swallowed up by the matrix.) My old school had about five of those types oddly enough. I'm convinced if they had cared enough to play high school sports, we would have won State Championships in all of the major sports.

Not an achievement but I have to share this great moment in mundane sports. So I'm in 5th grade and we're having a 5th grade/2nd grade kickball game (Mixed teams obviously as 5th Vs 2nd would be an incredible mistmatch). Anyways, we're playing the game, someone gets a "hit" and a 2nd grader starts running home and my class' hypercompetitive jock fucking clotheslines the little kid to prevent him from getting a run. Little kid starts bawling and everybody gives the jock shit. Later in the game, the jock kicks what appears to be a home run and as he rounds third into home, our 400 pound behemoth of a teacher pops out of nowhere and clotheslines him. What a way to teach a lesson.

I forgot that I hit a game winning three in a 7th grade gym class game of basketball with a bunch of jocks as well. I was The Walter McCarty of gym class games of basketball that year. I was an overly enthusiastic bench player that occassionally made a clutch shot or defensive play.

Czech- would winning my high school gym class' doubles badminton tournament count as mundane? My partner (one of those stoners that used to be a good athlete that can inexplicably bust out the athleticism when the time calls) did most of the work but I hustled man and he couldn't have done it without my sheer grit and enthusiasm for those semi-sports. We even managed to beat the gym teacher (granted, he was a 55 year old lifelong smoker) and a jock in a game. I also made it pretty far (IIRC to the finals) of that same class' pickleball tournament. Pickleball is kind of like ping pong without a table. I loved picklebal. In elementary school gym class, I was always really good at nukem (don't know how the fuck it was spelled, good chance teacher made it up), which was like volleyball except for some reason, you could throw the ball.

Greg Valentine and Koko B. Ware better watch out!

I have a feeling the replacement main event of this PPV will end up being something like Rick Steiner Vs Brian Christopher

Bruce Springsteen- 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) The live version from Hammersmith Odeon London '75. One of the best live albums I've heard.

Nah, I haven't heard of about half of the songs either. I've just really zoned out mainstream radio in the past two or three years.

Hootie and The Blowfish were my favorite band for a brief period when I was 8, in between my Jackson 5 phase and my Queen phase probably. I still like to listen to their singles sometime for nostalgia. I still like most of it especially "Let Her Cry". All that aside, that album sold 16 million copies. I bet 12 million of those are now strewn across yard sales and used CD sections across the nation right now. It seems like every decade there's a band that sells a shitton of records and then is sort of forgotten by everybody ten years later. I think Hootie and The Blowfish is that band for the 90s.

2006 buddy. And I seriously doubt anybody on this board (except maybe Milky) has actually listened to that album. Granted, it's probably shit but nonetheless. I don't think we can nominate albums we haven't listened to.

That video is actually pretty damn funny. Now I wish that stand up show was closer

She was sued by 70s power pop band, The Rubinoos cause it sounded similar to their "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend"

I like "The Great Escape" too. But "Big Girls Don't Cry" is pretty sucky, definitely belongs up near the top of a Worst Songs of '07 list.

Funny story about seeing a one hit wonder in concert. I went to The Q Concert or whatever (Local Top 40 station's summer concert) in '99. Eifel 65 was the act me and my younger brother were most looking forward to. They played a 15 minute set and played "Blue" twice and we loved it. And when the final act of the evening, Vertical Horizon (now those guys sucked) and me and my brother complained for weeks after that Eifel 65 should have headlined. Other acts I remember that evening; Westlife, Rustic Overtones (local band. Actually pretty damn good alt rock band, really out of place here), and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and a couple of other shitty forgettable late 90s pop bands I'm forgetting. The second Q concert I went to was much more memorable. Third Eye Blind headlined with Sister Hazel, SoulDecision, Dido, The Corrs, Samantha Mumba, No Authority, and Evan and Jaron. Now that was a slightly less forgettable bunch of late 90s acts.

Hyannis Sound (acapella group)-Fields of Gold Am I the only one on this board who likes acapella music? It's been one of my big guilty pleasures over the past year or two. Love that shit. I'm also a big fan of "Fields of Gold", I hate solo Sting but I really like that song for some reason and "Russians" too.

"Rock Star" is pretty sucky but for some reason, I don't find it as overly sucky as previous Nickelback songs and I like the video for some reason. I guess I'm just a big sucker for seeing a bunch of B-listers lip synching.

Thanks Kinetic for reminding me about Gym Class Heroes- I'd pick that for the worst song but I think it's a year or two old. I saw it on Fuse once like a year ago and was like "Wow, this is terrible. I hope it doesn't become a hit because the guy from Fall Out Boy sings the hook" and six months later, it's a hit. I'd say "Clothes Off" is worse. They made an already terrible song ("We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off") even worse.

Soul Coughing did "Super Bon Bon" (Best known to wrestling fans as Danny Doring's theme) and "Circles", which both got a lot of play on alt-rock stations around '97-'98ish. I like to listen to their hits once in a while for nostalgia but they really aren't remarkable enough to get into 10-12 years after the fact. While on the subject, some other late 90s alt-rock one hit wonders I enjoy: "In The Meantime" by Spacehog, "Standing Outside A Broken Telephone With Money In My Hand" by Primitive Radio Gods, "Little Black Backpack" by Stroke 9, and "Steal My Sunshine" by Len amongst many others. Though the last two may have been 2000.

5 Favorite Opening Acts 5.Bleu (Opening for Guster, September 8th, 2007, Bank of America Pavillion, Boston, MA): The music itself ranged from average to pretty good but it was a sheer spectacle of a performance. For some reason, he had a teen choir onstage with them and at the end, he had forty guitarists play on the final song. And he played covers of "Shout"(Tears For Fears) and "The Way You Make Me Feel". 4. The Raconteurs (Opening for Bob Dylan, November 9th, 2006, Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME) 3. Ray Lamontagne (Opening for Guster, August 19th, 2006, Cumberland County Civic Center, Rogue Wave was the first opener. Great bill) 2. Elvis Costello (opening for Bob Dylan, October 4th, 2007, Cumberland County Civic Center) 1. Blackalicious (opening for G. Love and Special Sauce, November 26th, 2005, Orpheum Theater, Boston, MA. Only show I've seen where the opener was probably better than the headliner and G.Love was pretty good that night)

For some reason, I lkind of like both "Beautiful Girls" and "Umbrella" so everybody here can go fuck themselves! As for worst song of the year, I don't know I've listened to the radio a lot less this year for some reason. If I think of something I'll post it.

Wasn't the short lived Holiday Spice (it was only around for the Christmas season in '04 or '05) just cinammon Pepsi? I really hated that soda.

I watched some of the skits over the past few days on YouTube and on NBC.com and my opinion of the show has definitely changed. I still think it's the worst show of the year but there were a few decent moments and it wasn't an 04-05 level abomination. There were only two outright misfires (The tired Al Gore skit and the "Where's My Purse?" sketch) of the night and the rest was just generally forgettable outside of the Dane Cook MLB Playoff commercial spoofs and Fred Armisen's bit on Weekend Update.

I just heard a radio commercial for a stand up comedy appearence by the guy who played Biff in Back To The Future which cracked me up for some reason.
