Hoff

I'm actually the baby. Some...things...happened. Suffice to say that I escaped that situation successfully.

It's all right, I know Cure 2 now. If I get into trouble I can just heal myself.

The answer is, apparently, no.

Zuh?

You know what? YOU KNOW WHAT? You go live there, if you love it so much. I hate you. I heard Eagle Man was a deadbeat dad, anyway. WHY DO YOU HURT ME?!? i just wanna be friends *sniff*

Ha ha, YES. Victory achieved. *dun dun dun dunnnnnnnn duuun duuun dun-da-dun!!!* ::You gain 270 EXP.:: ::Hoff gained a level!:: ::Learned *Cure2!:: ::Gained 465 gil.::

Yeah, I pretty much lost it right then, too. I thought this was almost as good as last week's, actually.

Alaska is what keeps Canada in check. It's just a shame it's not on the other side, between it and that pesky England! You KNOW England is always planning some shit.

You and me are gonna tangle, bub.

Here's my deal on Orton. The guy isn't a great showman; he's not a spot machine, and he's not a great talker (though he does have his moments when he actually sounds passionate, instead of constipated). But he's a good old-school heel. He emotes in the ring, even if it is over the top. His moveset isn't spectacular, but he manages to make what he does look good. Note the way he looms as he circles a guy, and you'll note he doesn't just stomp the body; if he's worked a certain part, he'll go after it. As much as everyone decries his chinlocks, he usually works his rests and spots in a good rythym, resulting in a rollercoaster type of feel -- up-tempo, then down, then up, then down again. It's not as exciting to watch as some, but it's dramatically compelling. The big moves he does have he hits very well: dropkick, weird backbreaker, clothesline, RKO. And while that's not exactly a huge repetoire, it's enough to hang with a Benoit or Michaels who can set the pace. In general, he seems to get the storytelling aspect of wrestling, and his ringwork isn't bad at all -- just more deliberate. I could never, EVER buy him as a top face for that reason, but as a heel it works for me. I think it's a shame he doesn't have two or three more inches and 30 pounds on his frame, as he'd fit well as a "monster heel" with his size and offense. But I still like him.

But that's the beauty of simultaneously admitting a new state. No need for the change.

See, this is what I'm saying. And it doesn't even have to be Cuba, although Inc makes a good point, but the thing is, there are other small islands/territories with so much more to offer. Like, look at New Zealand. How much easier would it be to film all of out medieval fantasy epics if we didn't have to worry about international tariff laws?

Cute. EDIT: Wait, that's not cute at all.

I like mine better

...Old World white gangsta?

"Not Matthew...Smatthew." "What does the S stand for? No no wait, I got it...smooth Matthew." "...no."

The two aren't mutually exclusive. Orton was a charter member of Evolution and made out to be the next big deal. Since losing the World Title to HHH a month after he won it, he's been made to look like a punk almost constantly. Only now is he getting a legitamately solid program to work with, two and a half years after his last worthwhile run.

This is beyond untrue. I'm not saying Haley is the most attractive woman on Earth, or anything, but easily (easily!) the most attractive woman to pass through Idol's doors.

No, actually, you do.

Well, Supes, that's another fucked up thing about Hawaii. I mean, do we even want it as a state? Is it good for us? I have severe reservations about this. I say we ditch Hawaii in favor of Cuba. That way we get mad cigars and we won't have to change the flag.

Hmm. Intriguing offer. Seriously, though. Take a look at the world map for a sec: That ain't right.

I mean, look, it's almost the entire width of the continental US away from the mainland; it's tiny, and serves no real purpose (I know sugar, and military...anything else?), and it's just...weird. Very.
