Yeah, they've had a good go of things so far, they should cut you some slack.

Improved by one, but Eastern Europe is still my bane (I managed to forget Armenia and Romania this time). Is French Guiana not a UN member? And I will never ever be able to properly spell Krygystan.

I tried to remember Yakko's song from the end of Animaniacs. Since I could only remember up to "Panama", and that left a geographical gap out of Central America, I scrapped the idea quickly.

I got 49 of 50 with 5:05 to go. Minnesota was, inexplicably, the one I missed, especially since I spent 5-3 minutes remaining trying to figure it out by sports teams in that state. 47 countries missed. They're sticklers for spelling and hypenation, thus my not getting credit for Bosnia-Hersegovinia (sp.), Tuvalu (sp.), Guinea-Bissau, (no-hyphen the first time). I second the Congo thing. DPR Congo didn't work for TCFKA Zaire, and Congo didn't work for me either (unless I spelled it wrong). Baron missed 45, but we still butted heads over which was worse; my missing Hungary and China, or his missing Poland and Japan. Fuck it, I'm trying it again.

When this question was posed about two years ago, I had said 98 for WWE, '00 for ECW, and '00 overall. But I'm going to go with the entire period between Final Four IYH and Heatwave 98, if I can get away with such a broad answer. (March 97 to July 98). In that time we saw Bret-Austin at WM13, Barely Legal, Terry Funk winning the ECW title, the debut of the Hart Foundation and Bret's Heel turn, the debut of HIAC, a fantastic Wrestlemania 14, the revamped DX, the revamped Nation of Domination, the debut of the Triple Threat, RVD's TV title win, Shane Douglas getting some redemption by winning the ECW title, the Dudley's first title reign, and the incredibly good Heatwave 98 PPV. Just imagine how my list would look if I'd watched WCW.

Arby's also subscribes to this theory: My last trip, I asked for "A ridiculous amount of Arby's sauce". Granted. My previous trip, I asked her to "Go nuts with the Arby's sauce". Granted. Today, "A lot, please". Three packets is not a lot.

Not to be too Marvin-y about it, but I'm astonished I got as many votes as I did. Alkeiper is unquestionably a better poster than I am. So I'll accept my defeat without a fight, but Take that AlKeiper It's not like when Stephen Harper's ad campaign accused Paul Martin of being a child pornography connosieur, but, yeah. #1 Incandenza vs. #9 Ravenbomb #12 Chave vs. #4 Banky #14 Black Lushus vs. #6 Kotz #10 kkktookmybabyaway vs. #2 AgentOfOblivion TSM Vets/Shit Folders bracket: #1 Slayer vs. #8 bob_barron #5 CWM vs. #4 Leena #3 Czech vs. #11 Smues #7 FrigidSoul vs. #15 Special K ... this year's Gonzaga Sports Folder bracket: #1 alkeiper vs. #8 CanadianGuitarist #12 The Max vs. #4 Ripper #3 Kingofthe909 vs. #11 TheManInBlak #7 Vitamin X vs. #2 LordOfTheCurry I already danced with who brought me, now I'll prop the fellow Canucks.

NCAA style.

That's it? The only HDMI switcher we carry at Walmart is $125.

Stafford hit Perezoghin pretty brutal to start the incident, which is often overlooked, but if Perezoghin had gone to jail that night, I'd have been fine with it. Stafford's convulsing was awfully fucking scary. Hollweg clobbered Simon, and probably could have expected a fight or to be nailed later on. But that was one of the most disgusting acts I've ever seen, probably worse than McSorley.

Take care. Good luck.

Sigh. That is all.

That's a good question. My brother, who watched almost no wrestling from 1996-2003, remembers it very well. Incidentally, as I learned watching it about six months ago again, he had to oversell it to get out of the way of any more potential suplexes....although he certainly over sold it.

(Yesterday) Breakfast: Rare for me. I fried up some sliced Italian sausages, four or five slices of Spam (I so need to go grocery shopping) and some chopped green pepper. Lunch: Burger and homefries platter at a greasy spoon. Dinner: Little Caesar's Hot and Ready.

I remember that. That's when he was wearing a mask and being called the Yellow Dog, right? Yeah. Must have been GAB '91. Nash at Survivor Series '95, just after Bret got the win, clearly using the word 'motherfucker' was one. Also, The Bushwhackers starting up a 'faggots' chant against the Beverly Brothers at the '92 Rumble (I think). I believe that was at a house show. It was certainly in Vancouver, around the time of the 92 Rumble.

Sid's leg injury But not the one you're thinking.

I feel ashamed for remembering this post. I need Banky to come in and make fun of me right now. As opposed to shame, that devotion to give Marvin the nod is fairly admirable. You have nothing to feel bad over. If you had run a Sensei John Kreese's Pick Em, I'd be buying you a crown.

I doubt I ever outright said it. I probably implied it. That's ok. I want Marvin to get a few votes.

I honestly have no problem with Marvin. I don't get the disdain for him. But I like myself more. Elite Snobs/Boardum/Pit bracket: 1. Incandenza vs. 16. Youth N Asia 2.

I haven't played The Show since 2002, (when it wasn't even The Show), but I was impressed with it, and it looks as though it's only got better. I'm kind of disappointed it never got off the Playstation. C'est la vie. This wait is killing me; I've decided to be responsible, not break my bank and buy this, and instead, spoil myself with my tax return and get this, Guitar Hero II and Gears of War. I've talked to a few guys on my XBOX Live Friends List, who all give it glowing reviews, leaps and bounds ahead of last year. Coupled with the general buzz on here, I'm very excited.

What's a DLP? Is it the same as a rear projection? What benefits do they offer over flat-panel or CRTs? What disadvantages are there (besides slow start-up time and the obvious size). I got asked a few weeks ago by a customer. I talked to him for like 20 minutes about his choices in LCD, Plasma and CRT, but since we don't carry and DLP or rear projection, I never bothered to learn. He's the only person to ever ask me, but it still couldn't hurt to know. My folks have a rear projection (very similar to Max's), and the only thing they told me was "Oh, it was a great price!"

C-Bacon > Slayer. Yeah, I'm goin TNA on the reigning favourite in the best poster tourney. Also, I'll give C-Bacon the benefit of the doubt here, and say this isn't a set-up, even if he was a little snide.

John Cena vs Christian Rap Battle Includes: "Tomko, give me a beat"

What is this I hear about High Definition Radio? Is there anything more to it than regular radio in 7.1 ( or 5.1) sound?

Toronto moves into eighth with its win, and Iginla assists on three unanswered goals (two of them by prodigal Craig Conroy) to win the Flames fifth straight over St. Louis.
