Nobody's ever heard of him, but I'm gonna name one name right now: Slacker J. A year from now, I'm gonna bump this thread, and I PREDICT [/criswell] that people will be amazed by my precoglike abilities.

If the two are unrelated, then Kotz, why did you say Nick was part of the group?

Can someone, anyone, explain why all you people seem to think that I have stated that this was not a wrong thing, or that Sabian shouldn't have been punished? Read my lips: 1. It is VERY common for females to be sexually harassed in a physical manner in the wrestling business. I'm amazed that this is the first time it's ever happened to Bayless or Jacobs. 2. Being common doesn't make it morally right or acceptable. 3. Instead of biding his time and then whining about it on a message board, Jacobs should've gotten out of the ring and shoot punched Sabian in the mouth. What's Sabian gonna do, sue him? It's a wrestling show. In the ringside area, one employee of the show can do almost anything to another employee, and get away with it. And punching him in the mouth would be a HELL of a lot more effective in stopping Sabian's behaviour than writing an internet post about it.

Uh, I may be in the wrong here, but I thought the group's name was "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" (as I have their album Murder Ballads, in which Kylie does a duet with Nick). Who the hell are the Pet Shop Boys?

Uh... right.... sure, Inc. Personally, I clicked "BACK" as soon as I read the folder titles. Nothing on that board could make my life any better, and nothing I could say to those losers could make their lives any worse.

Oh, come on, man. Sakura? Make it at least a LITTLE bit convincing. Say, have Sandman trying to kill Mario, or something else that's fairly realistic.

You don't have to tolerate it. In fact, Jacobs SHOULD have hit him, whether it was a work or a shoot. I'm just saying that Jacobs and Bayless shouldn't be surprised when this kind of thing happens, because in certain parts of the country, it's pretty damn common. I don't know if they've never been outside of CZW or have been overprotected or what, but wrestling is a dirty, dirty business. Don't expect to be in it and come out clean.

I owned a 32X. Aside from a halfway-decent version of Doom, it didn't have a lot to offer. The Sega 32X: hey, at least it's not Virtua Boy!

I thought a blockade of heavily armed battleships was what ended the Cuban missle crisis?

I've seen some shitty boards in my time, but that takes the cake, and the stripper hiding inside of it too. Jesus. Does that board have any reason to exist?

Yoga is a lot of fun, if you can stand the fairly respectable amount of pain that comes with being a newbie at it. One of the funniest things in the world is watching some buffed-up body builder or hot-shot black belt dojo rat go into their first yoga session, and you can almost see the exact moment that their ego is broken. It's great. (Plus, yoga classes always have some hot chicks in them.)

It was just a joke, I'm not a big fan of the game. Also, I can't believe you broke out the old "Ole Anderson explaining why Cactus Jack is a bad wrestler" parable story.

Oh my god, I just stumlbed onto a great fantasy here: what if PETA got angry sometime at one of the WWE's dumbass skits involving an animal? I can see the FoxNews report now: "Three members of PETA were found beaten to death in the home of World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vincent K. McMahon today. The PETA members were apparently breaking and entering into the home in Stamford, Connecticut to protest recent actions by the WWE. According to police reports, McMahon savagely attacked the men, breaking their necks with his bare hands, and then repeatedly violated their corpses in a sexual manner. In other news today..."

Bob... Sapp... in a... one... hour..... DRAW?!? Kill me now.

That's a weird coincedence, I just happened to see Jay Fury for the first time ever at an indy show (NAWA) in Georgia this past weekend. Congratulations to him for landing his dark match, from what I saw he was a pretty good worker.

Hey guys, to specify: I'm not saying that's the way it should be, or that it's the way I wish it were. It's not. I'm a male feminist at heart, and hate the way things happen in the business. But the fact of the matter is that these things do happen, constantly, and you either have to get used to it, or get out. (Or develop a reputation as a psycho asskicker who'll break a guy's nose if they touch her inappropriately. That works too.)

Oh god I wish I would run into one of the sanctimonious fucks while wearing some fake fur. Because you know, if they dump blood or red paint or whatever onto you, that's considered felonious assault. And you have a right to defend yourself. Basically, you can kick their ass seventeen ways to Sunday, and then sue them to be reimbursed for the cost of your ruined clothing. Heh, I do love America sometimes.

I'm sorry, but if you're a girl and you get into wrestling, you can expect to have your BUTT grabbed, slapped, and pinched, as well as your boobs and pretty much any other part of you. It happens, constantly, even back in the locker room, even right in front of the girl's boyfriend. If this is the first time that Becky Bayless has ever experienced it, then quite frankly I'm amazed.

Why not just call it the Technical Wrestling Championship or something generic like that? "Pure Wrestling" does sound a bit pretentious.

What a crybaby. In my less than two years as a ring announcer, I've been punched, kicked, stomped, choked, hit with chairs, hit with stop signs, hit with title belts, hit with garbage cans, STO'd, clotheslined, leg-dropped, eye-gouged, and had a golf club rammed into my groin. Hell, Chase Stevens makes it a point to either slap me in the face or whack me in the nuts (or both) before his match EVERY WEEK. And do you know how many times I was asked ahead of time if they could do it? TWICE. Ever. The rest of it was done completely on the fly. (And I don't get treated half as bad as the women do, who can almost count on getting degraded somehow every night.) If Jimmy Jacobs and Becky Bayless worked down here in the South, they'd have a fucking heart attack every week. This is wrestling, guys, not a sexual harassment seminar or Sylvia Plath poetry reading.

My computer won't load it. How'd he do it? I'm assuming he got the first two whistles in World 1 and then just ran through all the levels real fast, but I'd think the World 8 levels would take much longer than 11 minutes to get through them all. How'd he do it?

I found it hard to control once he really got going because it was simply TOO FAST. I literally couldn't see what was going on, if I was about to hit an enemy or fall into a pit or anything. The screen turned into one huge blur. Andrew, pretty much everyone agrees that the SNES was simply the superior hardware, why are you so defensive of the Genesis?

We could certainly affect the climate. We've got enough nukes to send the earth back to the ice age. But I don't think we have affected the global climate in any meaningul way.

No, but Don's got his natural enthusiasm and doesn't sound forced or insincere, plus having Mike Tenay as your partner can cover up a LOT of weaknesses.

Yeah, why is it that in the recent games, they've gotten the graphics to look so beautiful and amazing, but have still not mastered the simple art of putting expressive lines on a character's face? I mean, for chrissake, your average Dilbert cartoon has more expressive faces than most of the recent FF games.
