The E! True Hollywood Story wasn't that good. No real major gossip or anything. It was much more interesting hearing some firsthand accounts from Dennis Haskins when I met him about certain DRAWMUH~! (like the tension between Mario Lopez and the guy who played Johnny Dakota (the pot smoking movie star)). I guess Tiffani and Mario had just broken up, and "Dakota" was dating her, which is how he got the guest role. Mario wasn't too cool with him, apparently.

Toss up some nude Kylie links and it'll be a party.

Ric Flair/Arn Anderson from Fall Brawl '95 (had Pillman's heel turn at the end of it costing Flair the match). Dreamer vs. Raven (Raven's ECW Farewell Match/WWF Invasion angle post-match) Hollywood Blondes vs. Steamboat/Douglas for the WCW Tag Titles (from an episode of Worldwide, where the Blondes won the belts) Austin/Steamboat from COTC (Summer '94, the same Clash where Hogan was attacked by the masked man).

Are you in school, Zack? Its all this first weekend of school madness that is weakening my resolve to cut back in booze.. Yeah I am, but I'm a commuter. I just go to community college for now since I pay for tuition myself. Though my sister and a ton of my friends started up this week, and I've been invited to my fair share of bashes lately.

I had a few last night too, but nothing major. I went to a concert last night and the ensuing afterparty, and hadn't eaten much all day, so if I kept drinking I would have been hurting.

How much have you had so far?

That was like me too. I wasn't an ace at science (I was happy to get a C, even though I worked my ass off and one of my teachers clearly played favorites to the kids that lived near him/sucked up to him), but the tech stuff and just being active on the other end of a science class helped me out a lot. Plus I had a stack of blank hall passes, free lunch, and my own keys to the faculty bathrooms (because I wouldn't dare use the wretched student facilities even in the most dire circumstances). All that and I got credit for it.

...and do what, exactly?

What are you going on about, sub?

Fine by me. I'm hooked on those damn things.

Good job, Alf. Have a cookie.

It's surreal seeing a wrestling topic started by Inc.

Senior year was definitely a good time. I was fearing it would sorta suck, given that a good chunk of my friends graduated the previous year. Early in the year, I found out I needed minor surgery on my lower back, which was SUPPOSED to be an outpatient operation. Turns out things were a little worse off than they thought, so I was out of school from the end of October until the beginning of December. I got my work sent to me, and had a few weeks of home schooling while I was out. Of course once I got back, I had to get the ball rolling to make up for lost time. I was a "science tech", even though I HATE science. Basically it's like being a teacher's aid and getting credit for it. My homeroom teacher worked in the science department and got one of the other science teachers to approve me for it. It was the easiest credits I've ever earned. -The teacher would give me blank, but SIGNED, hall passes (in case I wanted to leave a study to go help him), which of course I'd use to wander the hall, hook my friends up, etc. -Bought grinders/sandwhiches from a local deli for a few teachers every day and would start getting me lunch, so I never paid for a lunch during senior year of high school. -I'd tote my video camera around nonchalantly just for the hell of it. I had always brought it to dances and other events, but senior year I figured may as well capture some of the memories on film. I've got some funny shit on those tapes between the students and the teachers. -Classload wasn't too bad. Human bio was my least favorite class workwise because I SUCK at science, but I pulled through with a high C (my lowest grade of senior year). I took Math Analysis (which was a combination of all the different maths, basically to "refresh" us for college), English IV (at my school you needed to pass all four years of English and Phys Ed. in order to graduate, but I aced English easily), Psychology (didn't take it junior year due to a heavy workload), and Human Bio. I didn't have to take a history since I was over the requirement for it, and I didn't bother with Spanish IV since it was more or less just Spanish III all over again. -I befriended a Japanese exchange student from the junior class, and became pretty good friends with him. I got him familiar with the town, got him hanging out with a few of my friends from the junior class, and just generally tried to get him involved while he was here. Though I haven't seen him in a while, he actually wound up moving here because of how much he enjoyed his time here, so I take partial credit for that. -Continued getting my copy of Wrestling Observer Newsletter every week from my old Algebra teacher. Yes, my algebra teacher for Algebra 1 freshman year and Algebra 2 junior year was a mid-20's smark. We'd be in the middle of a lesson, and he'd start tossing out smark references for a gag. Funny shit watching all but about 4 of us wondering what the hell a "jabroni" is. I could go on and on about stuff that happened senior year, but perhaps the most notable thing I did was skipping the senior prom. I know I've mentioned it on here before so I won't drag it on too far. The basic gist was that the girl I was dating (from another school, therefore on different schedules event-wise) was going to Ohio on a family trip the weekend of my prom. We had been dating fairly exclusively for a few months, and I figured that it was my last hurrah and wasn't going to just take a random date. So I opted to skip the prom (and turned down three date offers from friends/people I had liked at one point). The kicker? They were doing an article on my school and the prom in the state newspaper, so I talked my way into meeting up with the reporter (who was a friend of our class advisor, the school nurse). Told her exactly what I just said, about wanting to be with the person I like, not a random, etc. The paper hit that weekend and to say she did me justice would be an understatement, as she totally played up what a sweet guy I was all for the fact that I liked this girl. I was getting calls from girls I hadn't talked to in months telling me that I was the sweetest guy they knew. Then of course, when the girl I was dating got back the following week (she left thinking I was going to go with my best female friend), I simply handed her the paper and told her to read it. She was in pleasant shock, as I was apparently the first guy to do something so nice for her. Seeing as how we didn't date for very long after that, people wonder if I regret not going. I can't say I do, because now I've got a story that not many people can beat.

Rey Mysterio

I've gotta say, for all the shit they had, I still found enjoyment in WCW. For every "______ on a pole match" they had some good things going (Three Count/Shane Helms "Vertebreaker" push, Jung Dragons, Natural Born Thrillers, Lance Storm's Team Canada, etc.)

At university?

Considering it's a 555 number, I'd call bullshit immediately.

Nobody said it, so I will. FOOSTER~!

I believe so. That show was fucking terrible too. IIRC, the match was about five minutes in length, but the bit segments were spread out throughout 45 minutes worth of Robin Hood, making it seem like the match was going on that whole time. Who in the hell would want to sit for a near-hour of Hogan/Giant!?

I'll work up a promo by 7, Cal my man.

::hits Patty with a book of names::

Funny how Local H got a mention here, as I JUST put "Bound For The Floor" on a recent mp3 CD I made. They are pretty good, as I got to hear them often due to my best friend being a big fan.

It doesn't look like I'll be showing tonight. With both the school I teach at AND my own college courses starting up yesterday, combined with my office job at the Superstore, I've had minimal time to get anything done. I've been scrambling to submit something, but with only a little while left I'm too far under the word limit for my liking, and find myself writing things out at too quick a pace. Real life kicked my ass this week, but I'll get my revenge on King somehow, someday.

That DiBiase kicks ass. Was the first figure I bought when our new shipments came in last week (along with the La Rez two pack of Dupree/Conway). Onto other relevant matters, my next pick is Mr. Monte Brown.
