Puzzle Level 8 drove me pretty crazy before I figured it out. Still stuck on Level 9 though.

Let me just state that the ONE HeldDown I had to put together sometime in September was actually up ON TIME! I'm amazing.

I didn't agree to that.

Mascot's here. Shit's about to hit the fan now. It's an OAOAST Invasion~! Chuck and Zack better make their loyalties known.

And OAOAST Heavyweight Champion Drek Stone will invade the SWF! Or not. Whichever.

Great idea! I hope WWE is smart enough to do a Basic Instinct spoof.

Yeah. This Japanese crowd is the BEST place to pull off OJ Simpson jokes.

Muniz really grew up awkwardly as well. It doesn't help that everyone on the show is just incredibly unlikable. I did enjoy it during its first season, and a large portion of the second. But it has DEFINITELY run its course.

Is the audience for Desperate Housewives even the same audience for people that would watch Arrested Development? You need to worry about the ratings of the other shows as well. By keeping the animated series in one bloc, excluding King of the Hill, you're all but guaranteeing that you're going to keep the majority of the audience tuned in for that hour-and-a-half. The people who are going to watch the Simpsons will generally watch Family Guy who, in return, will probably watch American Dad. Now, with Arrested Development at 9:30, you're hoping to keep those people that have already tuned into Fox for an hour-and-a-half. First off, with this animated crowd INCLUDING Family Guy fans -- which you won't have before May 1st -- you're adding a new dimension to the possible Arrested Development audience. Then, for the people who stayed tuned for American Dad, they're not going to turn to Cold Case or Desperate Housewives in the middle of those hour-long shows. They might as well just give Arrested Development a chance, and stay on Fox to see if the show is as good as people say it is. Keeping them in the 8:30 timeslot is just COMPLETELY ineffective. It hasn't worked thus far, and I see no reason at all for it working in a few months. Now that I think about it, switching American Dad with Family Guy may work, since it might give Arrested Development a potentially stronger audience. But I think the 9:30 slot for Arrested Development might be the best place for it on the Fox lineup starting in May.

The 7:00 spot on Sunday Nights is just a death knell for shows on Fox, basically. Even without the NFL season pre-empting it. Fox is looking for American Dad to succeed at this time, so they definitely won't put that in the 7 pm timeslot. Especially since it's a brand new show and they want to build some momentum behind it. They really don't care so much about Malcolm and King of the Hill anymore, so that has a lesser impact. Assuming that everyone would want to keep Arrested Development -- I don't care too much either way -- I would schedule it: 7:00 - King of the Hill 7:30 - Malcolm in the Middle 8:00 - Simpsons 8:30 - Family Guy 9:00 - American Dad 9:30 - Arrested Development

Rock vs. Austin at WrestleMania X-7 was also a face vs. face title match up until the ending.

13 drove me crazy until Piss helped me figure it out. Keep in mind that it IS case sensitive. And follow the clues.

Ah, finally finished the puzzle game! Going to try and start this code one now.....

Keep in mind #12 is also case-sensitive. You're probably overthinking it. Just look at the borders, and take it for what it is.

For #12: Study the borders.

Still stuck on 13. I don't know what I'm missing here.

I changed my vote. I don't want you to do a tournament anymore.

For future reference, the X-Title Champion is Leon Rodez. Tournaments are great -- IF you can properly plan them. They're actually pretty involved if you want to make sure it comes out all right. It could either be successful like the Round Robin Tourney was, or fall apart like the Emperor of Death Tournament. I voted yes. But if you do it, just make sure you know what you're doing.

Finally got 12! It's really so obvious once you finally figure it out. #13 is a bitch though. Stuck on that one now.

Hoff actually has a chance of winning the Heavyweight Title.

Wow, I'm actually really shocked with this poll response. I NEVER would have guessed people liked Phenom so much more than Adam.....

Yeah, Crono, I'm with you! Half-naked chick's asses are TOTALLY inappropriate! Calling the President of the United States a "war-mongering man-chimp" is infinitely more proper.

..... Wow. Shit, Adam's going to kill me here. Whatever. Adam, you're a nice guy and all, but I really think you unfairly pick on Phenom sometimes. Whether it be when I talk to you on AIM, or some of your posts in the OAOAST folder, you just have a real problem with the guy and I don't understand why. Either way, I think Phenom's pretty cool, even if you might disagree with that. Don't take this the wrong way or anything, since you're okay too, but my vote went to Phenom here.....

I would attribute that to it simply being a heel-heel title match. They rarely get a considerable amount of heat, basically because the fans just have no idea who to cheer for. But hey, blame it on whatever you want.

Lawler seemed to have set the seeds tonight for blaming Orton's recent misfortune on hooking up with Stacy. He never had these problems before meeting her -- but now, he can't help but suffer through a concussion state with almost every match. I wouldn't be surprised if this continues for a few more weeks until Orton finally blames the entire thing on spending time with Stacy, effectively turning him heel in the process. There has to be a reason they've put him together with her and, considering that they've now given up on him as the top face for the time being, this might be the next best thing. I really can't see them going with Randy Orton vs. Christian at WrestleMania -- especially since they've basically ignored Christian since dropping his relationship with Trish a few months ago. But Orton against a relatively high face.....? Perhaps even Rock? That I see.
