I am hyped about the possibility that my Real Ghostbusters box set could arrive any day now (it shipped on Friday with "2 day shipping" and it is now Wednesday). What a nerd I am.

Again, from F4W: Vickie and Edge open things up. Edge b Kung Fu Naki with a spear Vickie & Edge announce tonight's theme is HHH & Jeff Hardyas a team have to run the gauntlet Maria b Michelle McCool Big backstage celebration for Maria's win. McCool attacks Maria again backstage (If everyone is celebrating, does that mean Maria won the belt, or is this a pointless Lex Luger at SummerSlam 93 celebration?) MVP complains that his ring entrance has been pared down, bad music, no more pyro Hurricane Helms b MVP with the shining wizard HHH & Jeff Hardy b Hawkins & Ryder when HHH used a pedigree on Hawkins but Hardy tagged in and stole his pin Miz & Morrison b HHH & Jeff Hardy when the team self destructed and started fighting each other while Edge and Vickie laugh about it Matt Hardy b Chavo Guerrero via DQ when Kozlov attacked Matt and laid him out Main event segment is Khali as Santa Claus doing the Kiss Cam, and it ends up with Khali kissing Eve, dressed as a Santa's helper Dark match Undertaker b Big Show in a cage match with the gogoplata ---- Hooray, Helms is finally back in the ring! Hopefully Hawkins and Ryder are associates of Edge again, they're kind of pointless otherwise.

Dark match Carlito & Primo Colon b T.J. Wilson & D.H. Smith (FCW tag champs) with Natalya as manager. They are called "The Foundation." Smackdown for 11/28 Vickie Guerrero & Edge open the show together. They are back as a couple. Security is there waiting for the Jeff Hardy attack. Jeff tries but security keeps him away. This show is built around three Beat the Clock matches, Jeff vs. Brian Kendrick, Matt vs. Vladimir Kozlov and HHH vs. Shelton Benjamin. The winner with the fastest time faces Edge for the title at Armageddon Jeff Hardy b Kendrick in 12:13 with a swanton Matt annnounces that he's not going to beat Kozlov, and his goal is just to make sure Jeff gets the title shot Maryse & Natalya & Victoria b Michelle McCool & Bella Twins. One of the twins costs McCool the match. McCool is not a happy camper Matt Hardy kept from being beaten by Kozlov until 12:13 is over, so Matt did his job Jesse & Festus b Miz & Morrison via DQ when Miz & Morrison illegally rang the bell to cause Festus to space out HHH b Benjamin at exactly 12:13 with a pedigree. That means we've got a three way for the title at Armageddon --- Nothing wrong with three 12 minute matches, though I guess we'll see how Koslov vs. Matt turns out going that long.

The general consensus is you'd do just fine without them. "Dial 'N' for Nerder" from last season is really great, though.

There's only three people you can trust for star ratings, kid: Dracula, Blacula, and Son of Kong.

I froze when Hogan turned heel. The room was spinning.

I made my own story up after the first line.

Rating = 3.3 Cena's bringing them back!

I didn't like the 1st half of the triple threat match but it really picked up after the break.

It was about creating wacky signature images. There were no actual teams (that I was aware of).

I watched Raw this morning (after trying to avoid the fact it was on TV where I was having dinner last night) and it sounds like I'm the minority (Alvarez referred to it was 'wretched') but I enjoyed the show. Maybe I just enjoyed HBK misnaming video game systems too much.

Ric Flair was fired and felt he owned the belt when his deposit on it wasn't returned.

Says you.

Duggan needs to beat someone with a fish. Regal seems like a good King Race substitute.

Technically you were free to draft Sgt. Seymour Skinner. The drafting of Principal Skinner would constitute having Armin drafted as well, the same way Krusty the Klown means you have Angry the Crown, Silly Sailor, and Dr. Clownius. But not Crispy the Clown.

At several points, I had the nerds in mind, but they're not great individual picks. A lot of times I would think of someone well before my pick - Akira, Surly, Luigi, Database, etc, but then go with someone else. Leonard Nimoy was actually on my "for sure pick on the next turn" at one point, but I think Bender and Ron Howard getting drafted screwed me up.

I went to read the recaps for these shows that I usually read but was disappointed to learn that The Other Arnea TV recap archive section is no longer with us. However, I found this: http://rspw.org/petrie/

The reason I finally got around to seeing the movies was because of AVP:R. When it premiered on "Super Channel" here, they did an Predator / Aliens marathon (on their HD channel to boot) so I just DVR'd the whole thing. I would almost say I enjoyed Resurrection over 3, solely because of Ron Perlman's performance. I read somewhere (probably wikipedia) that Ridley Scott consider the original AVP the 3rd best movie in the series.

I've actually forgotten almost all of the McGraw show except for Jeff Montgomery. I like that Andy Samberg bad rapper character too.

Gregory Punk broke the news in the HIMYM thread that NPH ('the blond guy') is gay.

My old column!

Wouldn't it be the 2009 HOF? I don't get it.

Jeff Montgomery becoming a regular character and being in a skit for the Tim McGraw episode was great.

Bizarre.. I haven't checked mine yet.. I just see "SmackPizza" a lot. Do they segment the real ads based on where the game is sold, or perhaps the PS3's region settings? I assume if you go online (at least in the 360 version) or maybe are just connected to Xbox Live while playing, the ads show up. They obviously are regional (Kodoo and Future Shop being Canadian stores). I also noticed now the "V" in my HVM ads is flipped over to be a Christmas tree AND I have Punisher ads! I like the Punisher banners.

Canada, and my number SHOULD be in the thread (I know I've received JaMii Noble and such from Spiff). No games that already exist on a collection I own (Mega Man, Sega Genesis Collection). Edit: Ditto for Sonic collection, so my non-list is pretty much the same as Thoth's. Exactly the same, really. Though, I guess if Mega Man 2 is the American NES version and not the automatic "Hard Mode" version found on the MM Collection, it's a different game. Not different enough though.
