Cherry Blossom Viscount

The last heel I remember him supporting fully was Chris Masters and that was maybe a couple of years ago.

Indeed. He was super-over after losing his mask and it seemed to be the thing that would finally put him over the top as a true main event star. Then he feuds with Shane for months instead and even today people no longer see him as a real threat. Yeah, they really fucked Kane with that feud. He was massively over as a face even though he was pushed as the ultimate monster heel. I was hoping after the JR BBQ incident he would go on a path of destruction across both Raw and Smackdown culminating with his eventual defeat at the hands of the returning Undertaker. Cross brand matches were rare at that time and a super over monster like Kane destroying top stars on both shows would have had everyone at a fever pitch for Undertaker to put him down. Of course, someone thought Shane McMahon was the better idea.

Gas went up .40 cents in one week at one station when the oil was going up due to the Middle East problems. Of course, after oil went down below $40 the price only dropped by .10.

Snuka is 37 years old, Manu is 24yo. Ok and? And I don't think the wwe is going to choose to push a 37 yr old basically from scratch, or less than scratch since Deuce jobbed a helluva lot. Dave Batista says hello. And Snuka doesn't look 37. He looks like another young, hungry punk that wants in with Orton. I think Snuka and Manu should take out Kane for Orton before the match but Orton says, "No, that's not enough!" Then later at the end of the show they run in on the HBK/Cena match beating the shit out of them. Then Orton comes out with Rhodes and says they passed the "test." He wanted to see how they respond to adversity and loss and that's what seperates them from the rest of the trash on RAW. It gets both of those guys over as bruisers and establishes some stability in the Legacy..

Funny how that worked out. And thanks for keeping up with me, Bob.

Hey I never said I'd miss her or was broken up about it. Sure, it sucks. Sure, she was a bitch from what I can remember. But, hey, no need for the hyperbole. I don't know, it just seemed we were a few minutes away from a "room is spinning" type of post.

I left out Hitler purposely to avoid running afoul of Godwin's law. And I mentioned godless communist because of people's tendancies to say so and so is in heaven despite their obviously secular beliefs. She's gone DubQ, get over it.

Good riddance. I hate how even if someone was hated, when they die they become a saint. Fukk you Marney. I know plenty of you were saying it in her heyday and I'm sure many of you thought, "You know what, if she died, I wouldn't care." Now that she's possibly dead and if not, definitely suffering, you all are all like "Awwwwww poor Marney." I'd hate to see how you all would respond if Josef Stalin or Chairman Mao posted here then died. "Looking beyond the fact that he killed million of his own countrymen, and the numerous spats we had in the Campaign '08 thread, it sucks that Joe died. Despite being a godless communist, I know that he is in heaven with George Carlin and Kurt Cobain watching Eddie and Benoit put on a 5 star classic."

*Backs slowly out of thread*

Yes. Cool, maybe we'll get a nice food discussion out of her passing.

$1.69. Long Dr. and 610 in Houston, Texas.

I've seen an off-brand station with gas that is $1.86 in Houston and the Valero station acorss the street is selling for $1.87. These are the lowest prices I've seen since at least 2002 or 2003. We've had a couple of years where gas went below $2 but most stations bottomed out at $1.89. Last time gas was this cheap was 2006 I believe. When gas gets to $1.50, I know we've turned a corner. I'm expecting a slow increase in the next couple of weeks.

What I want to know is how does killing certain characters affect the game? I killed Three Dog after he told me where I might find my dad. I whacked him with a sledgehammer and he just exploded. I wonder if he just respawns and does his radio thing or is that it for him?

I basically started killing because I stole out of a wardrobe not realizing the owner was in the same room. Since I didn't want him to alert security I blew his brains out. A guard came in but I killed him too, easily. After that I went on a killing spree which started with Mr. Burke and ended with that old doctor. Then I went to Ft. Independence or whatever it is and killed all the people inside. On the way to the radio station I saved a scavenger but then decided to kill her and I took all her caps and inventory. Kill people, it works.

I killed everyone in Tenpenny tower, EVERYONE; from the security guards to Tenpenny himself. It's a good way to make caps and get stimpacks and ammo. You're not going to do well in this game by being good. I think I might have gone over the edge though because I killed all the settlers in Arefu. Oh well.

I guess I'll just tattle then because I don't feel like going through all of that though I need the money from Burke. I thought you just stuck the damned thing on the side of bomb no extra explosive tech necessary.

Um, I guess I'm dumb here, but how do you attach the device to the bomb?

My X-Box red ringed after a breaker was flipped and the electricity got screwed up. I thought it was done, but, my girl turned it off and back on and it's been working good ever since.

Whoa whoa whoa! What happened? Is this a Smackdown thread? Did hundreds of posts get deleted? Was this a RAW where spoilers were announced before hand? Or has wrestling really bottomed out to the point where the flagship show can't draw a multiple page thread on a WRESTLING FORUM?!

No way these spoilers are accurate. HHH won't even look weak in a video game let alone have Hardy save him twice from the new monster heel only to then beat him down himself.

The only problem with that little theory is that it was the House Republicans that played a major part in voting down the bill.

Just as I thought; many of the headlines and articles are suggesting that Palin "turned in a performance" last night and the debate actually HELPED the McCain campaign. Amazing. I am convinced that the media is determined to keep this race as close as possible even if it means reporting obvious falsehoods. If anyone not named Sarah Palin had "turned in" such a performance they would have been tarred and feathered. Instead of expecting nothing less than a marvelous performance, everyone lowered their standards for Palin so much that all she had to do was speak coherently, which she could barely accomplish. Being the second in line for the top job should require more than just meeting less than the bare minimum expectations but 2008 America could care less about that. This ridiculously close election means great TV and talking points.

I don't expect this debate to change many minds in the long run. The story is that Palin exceeded the extremely low expectations set for her. Her just showing up is basically a victory in the minds of the pundits. Face it, Sarah Palin could have defecated on herself and the talking point would be; "By displaying an amazing loss of bowel control, Sarah Palin has made herself more relateable to the average American, who due to their atrocious eating habits also suffer frequent loss of bowel control. Senator Biden on the other hand, by retaining control of his bodily functions has furthered the elitist agenda of the Obama campaign by showing to millions of Americans that he will not stoop to their level by defecating on himself." "And to add to that, I just want to say I was disturbed and disgusted that Joe Biden did not get on his knees and lick the excrement of Palin off the floor with his tongue. This shows a total lack of respect for women. And you know, that doesn't surprise me seeing that he is on a ticket with a man with terrorist connections and closet Muslim himself. This can only help Sarah Palin and John McCain."

I just, I don't know. I want to say it's over, but I know it's not. Look at this..... McCain Weaknesses..... -He's 72 -History of illness (supposedly mental as well as physical) -Selected a VP in an obvious pandering move that has a laudry list of campaign sinking issues -Admitted he knew next to nothing about solving the economic issues that are number one in the minds and hearts of voters -Is not a great speaker and has not really outlined his position on any key issues except those which Republicans have not changed their stance on in decades -Belongs to the hated GOP party Obama Weaknesses..... -Black -His middle name is Hussein and his last name sounds like Osama -Is a great orator but has not clearly defined his position on key issues -Is "young" and lacks experience -Is supposedly an "elitist" -His wife can be sassy -His preacher was a loon Now, in any normal country, Barack would win by a landslide given the comparison, but we all know this is America and you just can't rule anything out. McCain at one point had no money, none. Now he has a good chance of winning this election for no discernable reason. I've never heard anyone give me a good reason on why McCain should be president except that "we just can't have Obama in the white house."

Storyline wise it makes sense that Vickie is written out of her role as GM and dissapears for awhile, but the WWE just cannot ignore all of that massive heel heat. Many people here are tired of Vickie so after awhile I do expect this legitimate heat to be deemed "X-Pac" heat, but like X-Pac, Vickie was just written into a storyline where the fans viewed her as so despicable she'll never draw anything but boos no matter what she does. They should transfer her over to RAW and make her the manager of Team Priceless so that they might leech off of her heat and won't have to try to garner any on their own by beating down legitimately over teams killing their heat as well.
