Hmmm...with no WWE PPV in March, that would be a really good time to have a SNME or other special to build towards WM. Do they have any plans for anything like that?

I don't know much about Mistico, but if he's as good as everyone says, he could add something to Smackdown. WWE could bring him in as Rey Misterio's partner, at least at first.

Al Gore's not running? People must be crying over at the Rolling Stone offices.

Thanks for the help. That seemed to take care of the majority of them, at least.

Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart, 3/23/97, WrestleMania 13, "I Quit" match Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart, 3/20/94, WrestleMania X Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon, 3/20/94, WrestleMania X, Ladder Match for IC Title Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels, 10/5/97, Badd Blood, Hell in a Cell

I know it's controversial, but the Current Events folder had a pretty huge thread entitled "Loose Change: 2nd Edition" that had some pretty good arguing in it. Might be worth a recap.

It's not silly at all. Wrigley Field is great because it's not like anywhere else. When you start adding these modern accoutrements, it just becomes an old stinky park with too many asshole fans. But, it would cease being an ugly old stinky park with nothing but asshole fans. BUT, comma, no. You're missing my point. Advertisements and LED boards make Wrigley no longer one-of-a-kind. By trying to make it more like other parks, it's just the worst of the rest, instead of in a class of its own. Eventually the Cubs will be sold to new owners, who will decide that they want more revenue, and a new ballpark will be built, for better or worse.

I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium on it. So far I like it...sometimes it seems like things are a bit clunky, but I think that's more me getting used to the laptop than any fault of Vista's. (This is my first laptop ever). Mainly we're just going to use the laptop for internet and word processing. (Off topic: WTF is with computers not having Office built in?) Haven't tried installing any programs yet really, so I haven't encountered any driver issues. The built in desktop "gizmos" like the clock and slide show are kind of neat, if pointless. The Mac commercials are right on about the stupid "proceed or cancel" question boxes, though. There must be a way to turn those off, but I haven't figured it out yet.

There isn't a special speaker wire for those. You can use "banana plugs" attached to the ends of the bare speaker wire to easily insert into the hole on each speaker wire input. I personally use this method on my home theater receiver because it looks a little cleaner and makes it easy to change stuff out later on.

Ouch. Double ouch.

Who wants to bet that Ross and Lawler being inducted leads to yet another angle where one or both are "fired", only to come back a month or two later after the fans "demand it"? Also, I'm all for Austin coming back for one more match...I just don't want to see endless stunners and beer baths on RAW every week.

As far as Wrigley Field, I do think it's a bit silly to complain over a couple outfield billboards. You'd think the Cubs/Tribune could have found a sponsor with more of a historic connection to the area, though. Maybe there'd be less of an uproar, if say, Old Style was sponsoring the billboards or something.

I do think things like that would help. Most of these people have devolved to the level of animals, and you need to treat them as such.

This topic seems to come up every six months or so.

I think my favorite version of the WWF/WWE Championship was either the one Austin first had after beating Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania, because it kind of looked like the old eagle belt, but was bigger and more prestigious looking...or the one Brock Lesnar had as the Undisputed Champion. That was a nice looking belt.

Bah, I doubt I knew much difference between a president and a senator when I was 8, either.

Look at the photo. If I was Bush, I would've given the peace sign too, with a big smirk.

Here's one that's been bugging me: We've all heard of the infamous tag match where the Rockers accidentally broke a jobber's neck around 1991 or so (well, he really broke it himself, but that's beside the point). Was that match ever shown on TV? I'd swear I remember seeing the Rockers stretcher job someone, but my memory is really hazy on it.

Not really that bad, but I remember in the Royal Rumble, in I think 1990, Smash yelling "I'm gonna break your neck! I'm gonna break your neck!" at someone during the match. More funny than anything.

It kills the prestige of the titles, doesnt it? Kinda trivializes it, like a sub mid card title.That retar, we cant have aa belt that tackey headline Wrestlemaina. Why didnt Edge change it? Oh please, like Cena's the first one to customize the World Title. See also: Graham, Superstar Billy Warrior, The Ultimate Austin, Stone Cold Steve And in his second reign, Edge DID change it...sorta. The Rock had the bramah bull belt. When? I seriously don't remember that one. Personalized belts are stupid, at any rate. I do like the current RAW tag belts, though. The classic ones were good, but around for a LONG time. They had a nice run.

I suppose it depends how the question is asked. I mean, is a soldier going to say "no" to a question like "Do you want to go home soon to see your wife and children?" You could come up with something for the reverse.

Most of those chicks in those two groups came off as being pretty bitchy in that episode last night. Gina Glocksen is kind of a local favorite around here...she is from a town in Illinois not too far away, and is in a rock group called Catfight that does shows around here.

I don't have TV I can listen to at work...can anyone summarize what's been going on?

The main problem is how much they hyped it on the last episode of Smackdown. If it weren't for that fact, there wouldn't be a lot of reason to complain.

I could see that maybe being used in a historical context. During World War II, a lot of Muslims worked with the Nazis.
