Corn on The Cob: Even though I didn't vote for it in the last round, I'm going to have to vote for it in this one. For me, no food (except possibly watermelon) definies summer for me more than corn on the cob. French Fries: White rice is good but it really shouldn't have gone much further than the 2nd round. French Fries may be the definitive side dish. I love them in all of their forms; crinkle cut, shoe string, curly, steak, wedges (although wedges may be a slightly different breed than the fry)

The more I think about it I realize Val Venis is to The Attitude Era what Tito Santana was to the Hulkamania era. Both good, solid workers who were in the IC title scene for their first few years in the company before descending into almost complete jobberdom for the majority of their run. Yet they managed to outlast 90% of their contemporaries because they are good company guys. I knew Scotty 2 Hotty was done for when they didn't even bother bringing him up for a house show I went to in Portland in June '06 (Fifteen minutes away from where he was born and raised) and nobody cared that he wasn't on the card.

PAX tried something vaguely like this a couple years ago with a professsional amateur wrestling show. I don't think anybody else here would even remember that show. It only lasted 2 or 3 weeks IIRC.

When did Invader3k hijack Dandy's account? Seriously though, this isn't the first time DMX has been involved with animal cruelty and he hasn't been a model citizen by any means. So he should be locked up for a long time. If anything, to prevent another season of his reality show and more albums from him.

psssh they haven't done a Lillith Fair in like ten years. You got to update your insults, Cheesla!

The majority of non original lineup Kiss is terrible, save for a song or two. I will say that Revenge is actually a solid album, mostly because it doesn't sound like a Kiss album. I'm probably the biggest (only?) KISS fan on this board behind Paul Stanley (the poster- whatever happened to him anyways) and that Ecuadorian guy. And even I will admit that there's only about 5 decent songs in the non original lineup canon. I'll take Creatures of the Night (my personal favorite KISS album) and Revenge over anything from the classic era (save maybe Destroyer), but that's because I prefer the more metallic sound versus the regular hard rock of the 70's version. I'll admit that there's only about 1-2 good songs per album from all the albums between those two, but I'm not going to discount that period entirely (notably for "Lick it Up", "Heaven's On Fire", "Thrills in the Night", "Tears Are Falling" and "Forever") Ah- I forgot Creatures of The Night. That's probably my favorite behind Destroyer and the self-titled debut. I should have said non-makeup KISS instead of non-original lineup.

I'm amused by how the announcers talk about how not exciting Vladimir Koslov is. Yeah, that's going to get him over. Throwing a scary looking, foreign heel with no mic skills or discernible personalities might have had some shot at working in 1981 but these days? Not so much.

Favorite Bret Hart matches 5. Vs Hakushi (In Your House, 5/14/95) 4. Vs Diesel (Survivor Series, 11/19/95) 3. Vs Steve Austin (WrestleMania XIII, 3/23/97) 2. Vs Mr. Perfect (SummerSlam '91, 8/26/91) 1. Vs Owen Hart (WrestleMania X, 3/20/94)

But you telling me it was unnecessary was probably more unnecessary. I think that was the point.

A PongKong-Milky War of Words has potential to be TSM's equivalent of Mike Tyson Vs "Irish" Mike Jameson. You can guess which one is which. I'm surprised PongKong didn't list "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!" as one of his achievements.

It's true. I'm also the man behind Ashamed Wrestling Fan and majormayhem1. Although I'm surprised people haven't already figured out that I was the latter.

Oh, here's an amusing lunchroom anecdote. It was a half-day in 5th grade. For some reason, at Longfellow Elementary (and in middle school IIRC) we had lunch periods during half-days even though we got out at 11:30 but I almost always just ate when I got back home on thos days. Anyways, during this half-day I got really hungry around this lunchtable and having brought in no money or food, I beg off the suckers who bought lunch in the cafeteria that day. A couple people give me their yogurts and I eat them. Then I'm still hungry so a couple more people give me their yogurts. This continued for the rest of that lunch period. By the end of it, I had to have eaten 20 cups of yogurt. Stands to this day as my biggest eating achievement. I think by the end people were applauding. Up until high school, I was pretty much known as the guy who ate a lot and the guy who threw chairs.

*bump because I'm too lazy to start another Let's Talk About... thread right now and don't want to see this one die* In '97/'98, it was always amusing to see those old WWF lower mid-carders/JTTS WCW signed just for the sake of signing former WWF guys pop up on WCW Saturday Night. Like Greg "The Hammer" Valentine as a babyface, Marty Jannetty, Jim Powers (part of Teddy Long's random stable of babyface jobbers), and Barry Horowitz. Ol' Barry even had a feud on the last episodes of Saturday Night with Alan Funk. I think the feud stemmed from Alan Funk making fun of Barry for losing all of the time (Ironic cause I can't remember the pre Kwee Wee Alan Funk winning a match) and then Barry kept interfering in his matches causing Funk to lose. Unfortunately, WCW Saturday Night into a recap show before we got to see them face off in what surely would have been in an epic match. And I'm disapointed that this thread has gotten nearly twenty replies without a mention of Roadblock. Roadblock was the last of a rare breed of hoss jobbers (though the Big Show has come close to being one at times). Roadblock just amused me to no end.

The image I have of Stamp in my head is the scene in that movie where he's "working out" by hopping on his trampoline in his skivvies.

I've got an amusing sex-ed anecdote. At the end of 4th grade, we split the class in half and boys went with the male sex ed teacher and females went with the female sex ed teacher and we had a talk on puberty. The girls got to watch a video in the classroom and we had to go to the moldy ass reading room to have a talk with our teacher. Anyways, the male teacher was a rambling old guy and the way he explained an erection made me and several other kids thought getting an erection involved blood flowing out of the penis when you get sexually aroused. Needless to say, we were horrified. Now I knew what a boner was but I had no idea what the technical term was, hence the confusion.

Fun fact: After ForumPro first appeared on the board and before I realized it was a gimmick, I was going to create a poster named ForumAnti, that was basically a message board poster that hated forums. It probably would have set a precedent as a gimmick poster unknowingly based on a gimmick poster. I'm glad I decided against it though since we already have ashamed wrestling fan.

Now Hall & Oates doesn't suck. Back me up on this, Czech!

My elementary school never had spelling bees. The first spelling bee I remember participating in was in 7th grade. My elementary school didn't have much of anything really being a part of a completely broke school system. Once you hit 4th grade, you could do outdoor track, basketball, and if you weren't inclined towards the athletics, you could join the school chorus. We did have an invitation only drama club for one year. I managed to snag an invite to be a part of "Songs Throughout The Ages" (an original musical made up of random, popular songs throughout the ages) but since I frequently skipped rehearsal, I only ended up in two numbers. The first number was the showstealing "disco" number where me and two other actors cut up a rug to "Disco Inferno". The other number was the finale, which everybody appeared in, where we all sang "We Are The World". Even as a third grader, I could tell that finale was terrible.

I'll never forget the day in 5th grade where I saw my first pair of female breasts in person. Unfortunately, it was the incredibly butch, incredibly pudgy, class tomboy. One day she was wrestling with a boy at recess and somehow her shirt came off and she wasn't wearing a bra underneath. Needless to say, those who witnessed it were simultaneously amused and horrified.

I was the class troublemaker in 4th grade and the first half of 5th grade until an actual troublemaker showed up. This was mostly due to my tendancy to start rumors and throw stuff. The highlight of my brief reign as a troublemaker was my feud with the school art teacher. I can't remember how or why exactly it started but I know it peaked when I started a popular playground rumor that he was cheating on his wife (This was during the period where I was watching a lot of Maury and Jerry Springer). I also liked to do funny faces and to The Alex Wright dance into his class window while I had recess and he was teaching another class. Oh and he was obsessed with building this giant dollhouse so needless to say I messed with that. The feuded ended when he took a sabbatical for several months in the second half of 5th grade. I took pride in driving him away for years but typing this I just feel like kind of a jerk. I can't even remember why I started giving him hell in the first place.

How is that unique? They did the same thing last week!

No, three hours were always kind of a drag but especially in the last six months or so of them. The first hour was almost always entirely WCW Saturday Night quality matches and other various filler.

EFA oh and FOR YEARS NOW...

Speaking of food vendors, I was watching a month old episode of Bizarre Foods on my DVR and as a result, I know want to visit The Minnesota State Fair. They had something like 75 different foods on a stick there!

Alright- this isn't thee WWE Folder but majormayhem1 and Damien are speculating on whether there are two Ultimate Warriors in the Independent/Japanese wrestling folder and that's worthy of inclusion in this thread. This Damien fella is an amalgamation of every guy I've stood next to in line while waiting for tickets for a WWE show to go on sale. And I probably have unknowingly stood next to majormayhem1 while waiting for WWE tickets to go on sale!
