My mom is a huge Vijay fan, and she's never really been able to explain it, except for that playoff. She ALWAYS regales of how, while shaking hands, Vijay said "I'm sorry, Mike." Weir had no business losing that playoff. Oh well. Looks like he's got things back in order to some degree. There's no way either he or Ames aren't a captain's pick by Player. Speaking of Player, it's hard to believe no one's mentioned his claim at the Open press conference last week. Thoughts?

From Montreal to Memphis, parlez vous francais? In what can't be considered just a coincidence, last weekend, my car was broken into. My IPod and FM transmitter were stolen. I had burned that very theme to said IPod less than 8 hours earlier. And good one on The Brood.

No. They were still just "The Nation". They did seem to re-arrange themes quite a bit, if that counts.

I wish our newcomer well, because as Jimmy said, these are pretty common topics, and they all wind up with a list of nearly everyone's theme ever. But just to not jade him/her entirely: 1) HHH/Chyna - Our Time 2) The Mountie 3) Bret Hart 4) Mr. Perfect 5) Benoit as performed by OLP

I won't miss it, but if push came to shove,

I was hoping you had a suggestion for making them or something, as my putting a package of them into my deep fryer almost certainly = disaster.

I've watched wrestling 3 times since Wrestlemania: Benoit tribute, draft, and May 31, which I was at. The answer to the topic is: A new WWE Champ (or is it Heavyweight?) I've confirmed to two buddies today that the possibility of Orton is enough to interest me. I can't guarantee I'll watch Raw leading up to it, but I'm definitely interested.

I loved Hamilton too, I was actually at a practise round there last year. Got a picture with Aaron Baddely, and a tricked picture with Jim Furyk. It was a great course.

Tell me more of Deep Fried Twinkies. I have to fucking try these now.

Since the majority of my posts the last few weeks have been about Mike Weir, I'll keep that train going: He'll be looking for his third straight top 10 finish at Angus Glen. He's missed the cut the last two years, however, at Shaughnessy in 2005 and Hamilton in 2006. The last time they were at Angus Glen was 2002, when Mike finished T-22.

How much does Gerber make? "Too much" is an acceptable answer, but it's doesn't make sense that it's not Emery. 3.17 mil a year is a great deal for the Sens, I too thought he'd pull in a little higher, maybe 3.75 or 4.

AHL sounds about right. Let's say, with surrounding and nearby cities, oh, 600,000 fans could realistically attend. That's still fairly small to support an NHL team. Enthusiasm and/or loyalty would certainly not be an issue, anyone remember the 2005 Juniors? EDIT: Evidently, I don't, as they were in North Dakota. What year'd Halifax have em? 2003?

Damn, overlooked that while browsing for the answer to Invader's question at Graham's site. On a similar vein, how long were The New Blackjacks together? I had no idea they were still around in early '98. It was actually in Kamala's results a few posts up: January 19,1998, the night of Austin ruining Vince's Tyson announcement. I wouldn't have been able to tell you that had he not posted those, I just remember them being broken up by Wrestlemania 14.

I worked nights last night and didn't see any of Raw - Can I get a rundown? In particular: - One of the Hardy's botched a spot, but made up for it later on by beating the shit out of Umaga with a chair? - JR got really sombre about something? - How is Orton the #1 Contender? - Jerome? - What's the story on HHH? - Nothing for Lashley? - Kennedy loses again?

Assuming it is a date-like atmosphere, fondue might not be a bad idea, though it's a fair amount to prepare. Salad of any kind, as eluded to, is a great pick, especially potato salad. Try a small platter of carrots, green peppers, and dip. Champagne is pretty safe. If it's not a date, I got a flyer from the Beer Store a few months ago that suggested "Ribs and beer - you've got yourself a picnic".

While I don't like Shawn Michaels in the ring or out, I have tremendous respect for his ability. I got kind of a bad vibe reading Ric Flair's book, but still mark out when 2001 hits.

My dad and I were discussing last week how much less milk I drink now as opposed to when I was at home. Ditto for cereal. I had always envisioned having a kitchen like Seinfeld's with a half-dozen boxes on the go. However, I don't think I've ever not drank the milk afterwards. I even had a bowl as an eight-year-old that had a straw built in the side for such a purpose.

Whom are you trying to impress? And with KingKamala's suggestion, it seems to me this is going to pop up like it were 'Armbar' in Chris Jericho's list:"Show me potato salad!"

What the fuck are Team Cheerios?

Honestly, I couldn't tell ya which models are region-free. I'd say read a few reviews and learn the specs, and stick to a brand you trust. You and I might have much different opinions on Brand X and Brand Y, but that doesn't necessarily make either of them good, bad, or better than one another. Interestingly, the only model of DVD player that my Wal*Mart carries that's region-free is the crappiest one, the 29 dollar one, and it's not upconverting.

The only thing I can contribute to this thread is this bit about the Hubble from This Hour Has 22 Minutes

If there's a state or province in North America that deserves 3 teams, it's Ontario. Not California. I'm not trying to preach to the choir, but the NHL has already tried out a failed market once, and it's not doing so hot. (I don't really count Minnesota, which pretty well folded because two guys had an argument). With the Canadian dollar so strong, doesn't it make sense to retry a city that would support a team, one that didn't fold due to poor attendance?

Yeah, barring an incredible meltdown, this is Sergio's tournament. If he falters (and I mean falters) there's a very very competent group at -3, but this is unquestionably Sergio's tournament to win.

There's too much to quote, DX1997, but it dawned on me at work today that I didn't even factor in the incoming Brian Pillman.
