I'm teh disgusted with the numbers for this show. Although I haven't heard from TBS yet, I can safely say that the number of no-shows is bigger than Thoth's dick. As such, the show will not be going up tonight. It'll go up tomorrow in the late morning or at my leisure, once I've had some time to think about booking the followup card.

SJL Blew Christmas.

I've finally made #1 pop. I can retire now.

Kayfabe, WC. Kayfabe. I'm thoroughly impressed with the Stocking Stuffer and Away In A Manger matches, although I think going back to the coal miner match in WCW, one of the stockings should have had a picture of Ejiro Fasaki in it. This... is going to be an incredible show. Thank god it's due on the 16th and not the 14th.

*snicker* Hey, a bookable writer!

Is this as bad as the last couple?

HEELS 1) Ejiro 2) Thugg 3) Taylor FACES 1) Flesher 2) TBS 3) Mak/Dace/WC - tied because these guys are poised for a breakout, and what they do in the next few weeks will really determine it.

Anyone want to recommend a rolling tobacco to ask for at the drugstore? The only tobaccos I remember by brand are pipe tobaccos, which I'm guessing you wouldn't want to roll into a cigarette.

ATTENTION FRANKIE DEED AND SEAN CASEY. Please get me something very soon, because I don't like marking double no-shows and it's a bit past deadline.

I actually already have sideburns and a goatee. I'm just growing the actual beard parts in for finals. Just struck me as one of those things you have to do once, and since it's the first semester of my final year, this struck me as an ideal time.

Flaming is overrated. Real men wish death on other posters. NOTE: Do not wish death on other posters.

I hate you, Edwin. However, I'll bask in the warming glow of the fact that I can grow a thick, attractive beard, whereas you're reduced to wearing a coat hanger on your head for attention.

On its merits, the show was terrible. There was only one "good" sketch, as noted above (the Three Wise Men). Sharpton delivered his lines with all the style and emotion of a first-grader reading about good oral hygiene. However, it was entertaining because it was such a clusterfuck. I mean, Sharpton as Brian Fellows' brother Ryan Fellows, who does love the ladies and wants to go clubbing with a baby seal, then argues over whether Frosty the Snowman is an animal? Who isn't entertained by that? The Democratic Nominees sketch had potential, but just reeked of trying too hard.

At least then you have that nice one-desk buffer around you at the exam.

My classes end Monday, and my last final is on December 18th. I'm going to grow a Finals Beard - let it grow, just trim or edge it until the 18th, like hockey players growing playoff beards. I actually talked a couple of my friends into joining me. Anyone else in?

Nah, it's just something some people like to do. If you want to introduce yourself, feel free, but we won't hold it against you. Hell, aside from accusing you of being a previously-banned poster, most likely no one will notice you're here.

Welcome to TSM. Just join in on the dung-flinging wherever you feel comfortable.

Just ftr, both rookies showed, and Korgath no-showed to Rando. If either of the rookies would like marking notes, please contact me on AIM or via PM.

I dunno, the chain loses its effect when it's legal.

And what word would you suggest to serve the purpose? It's a pet peeve of mine - in the case of prejudice against a country of origin analogous to prejudice against a particular race, 'racist' is the best word to approximate the feeling described. 'Nationalist' doesn't work, because that has another meaning already. This comes up periodically on another board I follow at themat.com - a Pakistani wrestler posts regularly and people respond in truly bigoted form, then deny being racist because "Pakistani isn't a race." Prejudice is prejudice (ignoring for the moment the question of whether this angle actually demonstrates prejudice), even if we don't have an exact word to describe this type of prejudice and have to approximate it with another word describing a similar pattern of thought.

This is a really, really nice card. For that, I salute you.

Send it my way, guys.

Yeah, but there's no NaBraWriMo* program, Thugg. I got a couple hundred and quit to write things that are, y'know, graded. *National Brawl Writing Month

You forgot the seven minutes of convulsing.

It's zero hour. Again.
