This is the one that got him fired, right?

Didnt' WWE do New Year's Revolution in Puerto Rico?

Come on, the thing about parental licensing was hilarious. I was entertained. Some people's idea of political and current event discussion seems to be "If anyone has a dissenting opinion, that's bull shit."

The government has to cut all the incentives and tax breaks the oil industry gets to operate "as is." Of course, they won't, since they're in their pockets anyway.

10 gallons lasts you A MONTH? And you're thinking of hoarding gas? 10 gallons lasts me about half a week. I don't even know where to begin on that one. You know you'd have to add fuel stabilizer to it, right? That's not that expensive, but will cost you at least a few bucks, depending on how much gas you decided to "hoard".

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080423/ap_on_...rimary_analysis This is a pretty good summary of where the Democratic nomination is at.

Wrong. Jews aren't a race. The idea that Jews were a Semitic race began to gain ground with the hatred of the Jews. Then and only then were they began to be erroneously classified as a "race." Ah...fuck it, I'm not gonna even bother.

CNN officially projects Hillary Clinton wins tonight in Pennsylvania.

OK, I tried to get fancy and used a word other than "Jews". You knew what I meant.

Gross scored the winning run, but Kapler drove him in. Gross was actually starting to come around and play pretty well, after struggling a bit initially. He's a good bench player, but they just have too many outfielders on the team, and defensively he's probably a bit sub-par...with Cameron coming on the roster soon, something had to give. Joe Dillon is down in AAA now...he got sent down when they recalled lefty Mitch Stetter. I think Doug Melvin's plan is to somehow showcase Tony Gwynn, and trade him later in the season if the Brewers need another piece.

You mean kinda like your parental licensing rhetoric? The only people that should really offend are probably too illiterate to read a message board, regardless.

Israel is a secular state. Certainly the murder of Jews by Arab terrorists in the name of Allah is offensive, though.

Good win for the Brewers today (well, a hard fought one, at least). I'm afraid they've basically blown their whole relief staff apart for this series with the Phillies coming up, though. Gabe Gross was traded right after the game to the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league pitcher Josh Butler. I guess they figured having one guy named Gabe on the team was enough. Edit: Just read the Brewers also recalled outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr. They seem determined to stick with the 14 pitchers on staff until Mike Cameron returns this coming Tuesday, which is just so weird...

What did any of that have to do with "religion?" Hebrews are a race, not just a religion. Seriously, your anti-religious rhetoric is pretty offensive sometimes.

That's really funny.

Hank Steinbrenner is indeed clueless. He should be like most owners in the league and just shut up and let the GM do his job. All his comments are making the organization look like a total circus. As for Derrick Turnbow, yes, he has probably had his last chance already in any sort of meaningful in-game situation. I think Doug Melvin would probably trade the guy for next to nothing at this point. They have 14 pitchers on their 25 man roster right now, so something has to give anyway.

If the Democratic nomination isn't basically decided after today, and the issue resolved VERY soon, I think my head is going to explode.

Definitely an unexpected final and finish. Good for WWE to actually maket his interesting and surprising.

Bit of an upset there. Good match.

Wow, I didn't know they had a message board like that. Pretty funny stuff.

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. My guess is Sheets may be going on the DL. Anyway, they'll have to change soon with Mike Cameron coming in within the week. Speaking of Sheets, they haven't really said anything definitive. Dave Bush is "available if he needs to make a spot start for Sheets." And there are still Brewers fans who think the team should offer some huge multi-year contract to Sheeter. Geez. This isn't the Yankees we're talking about. I love the guy when he's healthy, but you can't risk some huge five year deal on a guy like that when you're the Brewers.

Since no one has bothered to do it yet, here's the list of annual winners (starting with the "modern" version of the event). I'll include my quick thoughts on each winner: Year Winner 1993 Bret Hart - Kind of re-established Bret Hart as a main event player, and established the crediblity of the event, so this was a good one. 1994 Owen Hart - Pretty much the biggest example of the tournament "making someone." Owen took this gimmick then, and ran with it as "The King of Harts". Possibly the most successful one in terms of actually doing something for the winner. 1995 Mabel - The one everyone wants to forget...Big Daddy V isn't even really acknowledged as a former KotR winner, even though he's clearly the same guy. Probably the biggest disaster of a KotR winner, as no one wanted to see him in the main event scene. 1996 Steve Austin - Another huge one...Austin would have gone on to main event many Wrestlemanias regardless, but we wouldn't have had Austin 3:16 without this event. 1997 Hunter Hearst Helmsley - Kind of a rubber stamp "Yes, everyone knows he's moving up, and was supposed to win last year, so let's get this over with", sort of win in my view. At least it lead to his feud with Foley that brought back Cactus Jack. 1998 Ken Shamrock - Holy cow, I didn't even remember this one. Looking back, he actually beat the Rock to win it, too. I don't know if I don't remember this because the "crash TV" style booking was all over this, or just the fact that Shamrock has basically been erased from WWE history. I don't think you can say this really did anything for Shamrock, and he was basically gone from WWF about a year later, to pursue MMA again. 1999 Billy Gunn - Probably the second biggest disaster other than Mabel. Gunn didn't have it to make it as a main eventer in WWF. One short feud with the Rock later, and he was back in the midcard scene. 2000 Kurt Angle - A pretty good one. Angle would have kept moving up regardless, but they actually did some good stuff with this. I'll never forget Angle coming out on RAW wearing his crown and robe, and Mick Foley laughing hysterically at him. Notable for the fact that this tournament had 32 competitors. 2001 Edge - Another one I honestly couldn't remember. Rarely mentioned as one of Edge's achievements now, so pretty forgettable, in my opinion. Didn't really immediately propel Edge to the upper card like it should have. 2002 Brock Lesnar - Actually a pretty good one. Lesnar definitely had the cred to win the tournament, and it cemented him in the main event scene. 2006 Booker T - Another success. This was Smackdown exclusive, which was probably a good idea at the time. King Booker was definitely a good character, and helped freshen up Booker T, big time.

Yovani Gallardo is slated to start for the Brewers today against the Reds' Harang. Should be interesting to see how he performs coming off the DL.

This thread has been wildly entertaining. I'm glad I started it. Anyway, so there was this Will Farrell skit on SNL I brought up one time...

Supposedly McMahon even wrestled under a mask in Memphis to prepare for a McMahon/Lawler in-ring encounter. I don't know if that is true or just a wrestling urban legend, though.
