Slayer

*checks calendar* Yup, just about time for the regular Banky name change

Episode I was kinda meh, in retrospect, even though I saw it 4 times in the theater (that was during the blackout summer of '99, so I didn't have much else to do) I liked Episode II as long as it dealt with fighting and as long as it didn't deal with Anakin philosophizing towards Amidala

That's so almost insulting Mole

Not enough Slayer

That's what real life is for. 1. What's wrong with bullshitting on a message board instead? (This is more a rhetorical question, since you answered that in the next paragraph) 2. I can count on one hand the number of people "in real life" I know who like/liked wrestling and could have any sort of a discussion, as opposed to the countless number of people on a MB. I'm not liking this utopian vision of yours... of course I'm not one of your favorite type of posters either That, I think, would be asking for trouble, because then you'd wind up having the WWE, NWA, puro and indy threads all meshed together into a big mess, not to mention the potential bickering between different factions, though if you're banning for simple name-calling, I guess it wouldn't be an issue, even if it doesn't leave much of a board (to me). But we're not trying to create an environment that would attract them, right? Probably because 80% of the current WWE audience is from post-1998. Most of the old-school folk have either moved on or moved elsewhere (e.g. NWA, puro, etc.) Because he stinks funny That actually reminds me of a time when I was wearing my NWO shirt (around '98 or so) and some old fat guy with bad hair and teeth tried to come up to me and strike up a wrestling conversation. I got the hell away from him. Show of hands: Who is surprised by this? ...Anyone? ...Beuhler? I hope your list of people who have complained about the Czech-RRR type posts in the WWE folder is a lot longer than that Damn this was a long post... very un-Slayer like *spits water and puts himself over Alfdogg*

Finished watching the movies tonight (this morning) and was pleased overall with my decision to purchase the set. Seems like most of the rumored changes were untrue, and there isn't a huge difference between the DVD and the SE versions. The only thing now is that after watching some of the trailers for the movies, I wish I could see the movies in the theaters back when they were originally released, just to get the experience of the time (I was not alive in '77, barely alive in '80 and while I do remember going to see ROTJ in '83, I was much too young to appreciate it)

Ken Adams reminded me of something I forgot to mention in my previous post about ANH: with all the digital technology at his disposal, George still didn't get rid of the grey boxes around the TIE fighters in the "Escape from Death Star" battle Also, I'm still kinda chuckling about how George added in all those dinosaur creatures on Tattoine, as if he's saying "My vision of Star Wars absolutely can not be complete without some dinosaur creatures in this scene." I didn't get to watch ESB today as I was busy, but I hope to finish up the Trilogy tomorrow

Damn, I relied a great deal on the floating check system to cut checks a day or two before payday I also love the "if you write a check to business, it's paid right away, but if a business writes a check to you, we can drag our feet on it"

Thanks to John Slowlerud, Sox escape the inning with only one run

No more no-no for Santana Minnesota is still whipping Cleveland though

Santana with a no-hitter through 3, for what that's worth

I'd like to comment more on the game, but my MLBtv feed only likes to stay running for about two minutes at a time

Sorry to break up the Yankee circle jerk but I decided to post in here too

I too got a big chuckle about Loss saying that we need to get prominent IWCers/wrestlers here, like TSM is some kind of business and we're trying to attract clientele rather than some site where a bunch of guys who like wrestling like to come and bullshit about wrestling/life/etc. Besides, with this being the internet, how could we sell it, anyway "TSM: Proud site of a poster who we have reasonable cause to believe could possibly be, in fact, Dave Meltzer" "TSM: The probable home of the guy who might clean Vince McMahon's pool" "TSM: The wrestling website that interviewed Trish Stratus... we think" And so on

Did I mention that tonight, you'll be laying down for me?

Strange that they announce a lineup but not where/when/how this is available Looks damn sweet if this is how it turns out That might be fine and dandy when they're both only an hour long, but what about when they starting hitting the multi-hour episodes. Some cuts are going to have to be made (Nitro girls, I'm looking in your direction)

I've decided to change my name to "Triple Slay" and put myself over the entire WWE folder. I'm crowning myself the WWE folder champion and keeping myself in the forefront of every discussion. Also, whenever I'm not in the forum, all the other board members should be asking "Where's Slayer?" And Loss, tomorrow you'll be jobbing to Downhome

...what a great potential angle!

Anyone else find the concept of "putting oneself over" in a wrestling folder ironic, if not very funny? I do understand that it's not a total blackhole of humor in there (otherwise I would be gone), but I think the things for which people are being booted for is rather asinine Also, what Rudo said above

Just for me personally, thinking back to my days of listening to the alternative radio station here in the early 90's, it seemed that things transitioned over the time after Cobain's death Early 90's (around '92-'94): The big 4 (Nirvana, AIC, PJ and Soundgarden), STP, Metallica, Megadeth, and even some not-mainstream metal like Type O Negative and Morbid Angel ("God of Emptiness", the only time I've ever heard death metal on mainstream radio) Mid 90's ('95-'96 or so): Offspring, Green Day, POTUS, Seven Mary Three, even Alanis f'king Morrisette... the only one of the big 4 that still got decent airplay was AIC Nowadays, the same station is the Slipknot-Shrimp Bizkit-Deftones-Evanskank station, so I suppose the evolution does make sense

Unless Gardenhire pulls an Art Howe and only starts his CYA leading candidate once in a five game series

"You'll never pull another facemask again, Lavar! Bwahaha..." Surely the rampant facemasking problem plaguing the NFL will cease thanks to this

A Polish kid walked up to me and asked if it was okay for him to fly planes into buildings...

The producers can just use existing footage of the dead guy to make him win the show in memory of himself Don't let me interrupt you guys though

Well, I gave in (to the dark side) and got it today and watched ANH with Miss Slayer. It really didn't feel that different from the SE, as all those rumored changes from SE to DVD were apparently just that: rumors It's still a great movie, though I had some minor issues 1. I still can't accept "Greedo shot first" over the original scene, though that was the only 5 seconds that I was really unhappy watching the film 2. All those assorted dinosaur things and flying robots on Tatooine that Lucas felt the need to put in back in the SE. They don't take away from the film, but they don't add anything either and instead just stink of George saying "Look what I can do with my computers!" 3. The strange mix of 70's fashion and effects with digital effects from the 90's/00's 4. Aforementioned sound mixing issues during the last battle I didn't really get to experience the vision and sound though as we watched it on my g/f's dinky little TV, but tomorrow I'm watching ESB on my folks' big screen with 5.1 Also... somewhere, Black Lushus is smiling
