Jobber of the Week

1. Whoa dude. The cable TV wonk has **SECRETS** that go with him to the graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave. Bah, I guess it's not worth it asking you to PM me. I didn't want customer info, I'm just curious if there's a line or not since I don't want my Dad to become a download maniac and then find himself with no choice but dial-up. 2. Ah. Well, I've paid so much into the service anyway, and cable Tivos don't have two tuners (at least not yet), so I'll just continue to go with what I have. 3. OK.

I would be angry about the Austin thing, but the strongest booked guy on Raw is retired. I think that speaks for itself.

The internet thing? It's not like I'm calling you up and asking you on company time. On digital cable? On satelite? Both? Exactly. You told me I'd see artifacts galore if I had a big screen. I respond by telling you, I don't have a big screen. You reinforce the belief that my screen is, indeed, not big.

Believe it or not, he's actually gotten beyond talking about Vietnam. Take the credit for it if you wish.

I heard that when John Kerry is President, soldiers will have better guns because they'll have to mortgage their houses and buy them.

I thought the same thing as I hit the Submit button, actually.

Nooo, Michael Savage is loudly discrediting my side of this debate! Now I know how it feels to be a Republican!

I have a 32" screen. I also have a DirecTV Tivo with 2 tuners. I went out and bought an old regular Series2 Tivo among other things before I found out that, like I said, the channels I care about (Not VH1 Soul, not Style, etc) were still in analog. The quality on DTV, while not perfect as you mentioned, is better than analog cable. My Dad is subscribed to the internet service which just appeared here. I can't really say anything bad about that since it's new and almost nobody's subscribed it's nice and fast. Can't say I approve of them kicking off internet users for taking advantage of their "unlimited" access. Are they kicking off bandwith heavy users at your location for taking all you can eat at face value?

*coughMORONcough* What? I bought equipment and did everything but turn it on before I found out that the quality would be LOWER than the DTV I own on channels I already care about. Also, SpikeTV is only the west coast feed, so Raw isn't really live, and I couldn't really participate in the OAO threads anymore.

This guy is so going to mysteriously die of a heart attack with no additional details in a few months.

I liked it when Carol-Mosley Braun took the wind out of Sharpton's sails for attacking him for attacking people on race. That probably got her some people from Sharpton's side, so expect to see the numbers move by a whole half-point.

Her skin was just so craggy and blotchy and blemished. It only kinda sorta shows up in the photograph, but in real life I was legitimtaely suprised. I have found that tall but skinny guys are most popular, especially if their personality is the kind that likes punk and skateboarding. A friend of mine is 6'6, near-unhealthy thin (145 soaking wet while holding a brick), but is your typical skateboarding dude. He's constantly getting women, but can't keep any of them for long because underneath the whole image he's incredibly fragile emotionally. I, meanwhile, can't get any attention besides negative attention.

I've met both Kidman and Torrie out of the ring without makeup, and let me tell you, Kidman looks a hell of a lot more like he does on TV than Torrie does. You know the slogan "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybeline?" With Torrie, it is Maybeline. It is most definitely Maybeline, and it involves a lot of it applied liberally. It's sad, too, because Kidman gave me hope that dorky-looking guys my height could get a knock-out woman. I don't understand why she wants to keep taking it off though, and now teasing lesbo stuff with Grandma Sable. Either she's a total egomaniac about her body, or Kidman has a very small penis.

Sorry guys. This article had some errors that made it past publishing. The following is a corrected paragraph: First off, says Levesque, WWE is a big hit among fans because plot lines and characters portray simple, Everyman themes that strike a chord with WWE’s young, male fans. These include themes like belittling someone on their race, necrophilia, befriending a 500lb man, attending a gay wedding or pushing someone into a burning dumpster.

Can we sue the cable companies for being crappy? Because if we can, I've got serious evidence against Comcast. "Your honor, it says digital cable, but the only digital channels are a couple of stations that nobody knows about."

Kind of hard since one of the few vibes shared by everybody is that calling disagreers unpatriotic is a Bad Thing. Aw man. If I wasn't such a stuffy ol' conservative to be caught in drag I probably would have tried that. I can do the voice (the manly imitation voice, not the real voice) perfectly.

You can just sit and keep bringing up stuff like this, but you're avoiding the issue by doing so. Which is that people are far more partisan than they ever were. All this Coulter/Moore/O'Reilly/Hannity/Franken/Limbaugh stuff and their blind league of followers. I don't think there were a whole bunch of realistic alternatives.

It wasn't even a few thousand years ago. It was just a few decades ago that politics was more about issues instead of parties. The parties just adopted strong views on these issues and made themselves the main event. If I had to pick a Republican, I'd go Teddy Roosevelt. Speak softly, carry a big stick (note the speaking softly part. "Bring em on!" doesn't qualify.) Wasn't too afraid to go after business. When a lot of people thought Taft was too far to the right, he fought for them and eventually made another party and ran on that while selling his experience to voters, though it didn't work.

Someone has big balls. Doesn't matter if it was Kong, Angle, or a cruiserweight, it's about time someone said that. But it's about 3 years too late.

Anyone see the SNL parody of the Democrats tonight? I'm paraphrasing, but at least the punchlines are intact: Kerry: Some people say that I'm condescending, but that's not true. I'm an well-natured guy that carries a small sense of entitlement. Clark: I'm a four-star general in cashmere. What more do you want? Sharpton: I AM LIKE A LIVING CHRIS ROCK MOVIE. (...) Kerry: Look, Howard Dean has gone far enough to suggest that Osama bin-Laden might be innocent. This is quality stuff, America, and you just aren't biting. Clark: I could call him too conservative, but hell, I'm a registered Republican. Gephardt (The guy did the voice REALLY good, btw): I have more experience. This is my ninth time running for President. Lieberman: But this isn't about us, this is about Howard Dean's failures. Kerry: When George W Bush says that Howard Dean is going to raise taxes on the middle-class to fund his gay Vermont wedding to Saddam Hussein, you're going to feel like you've heard it before, and you have. From us.

You know, one thing I wish some of the more partisan people could stand is parody. "Janet Reno's Dance Party" was my favorite SNL skit for a year or two.

Well, at least being a heel means he'll actually get to keep titles. His WWE Originals song is heelish, but is very awful. "The only white rapper in tune with the brothas." I thought he'd at least be better than Lita.

WM2000's history disc did, as there was about 3 seconds of the horrible Gigante/Taker match.

You know, it's not documented anywhere that he did anything that she was uncomfortable about. She was even flirting with him. "Cmere, big boy!" should not be confused with "No! No! Don't! Ohh!" The spin on this issue has always made it sound positively scandalous. How about a little personal responsibility from the woman at the intern desk?

I got partway through the article and stopped. The author has no credentials other than a "resident of Seattle." This is not a story to be tossed aside lightly. It is to be thrown with great force.
