Jobber of the Week

Well, the release schedule is pure shit, with only the occasional platformer or puzzle game. Oh, and the obligatory Tony Hawk. Meanwhile, in Japan, I mean jesus, they're already making sequels to the varoius anime licensed games they've already made with even more of that crap down the pipe.

Wow, that's like an INXS quality post up there. Congrats.

While the arrival of Dusty raises red flags in my mind, the stories are on average a lot better than they were just two years ago. Still predictible, of course, but not as bad. Yes, the matches will always suck, but Hulk Hogan proved that only the long-term fans care about a good match, anyway.

Gas prices were too low for too long. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wrong. SUVs fall into the same category as trucks, which gives them a shitload of tax breaks So every soccer mom bought an SUV not because gas prices were low, but because she was going to have to buy a ton of gas before the prices could outweigh the breaks compared to the minivan. Blame the government for using language that was too loose. And since actually fixing it would destroy the remnants of the American auto industry which is/was using SUVs as their crutch for survival, their hands were rather tied to do anything about it.

CNN says they've reached the legal limit the building can hold as per the fire code. Wow. I hate to sound like a nerd, but imagine a crowd of poverty-stricken people the size of WM17 but possibly larger. How did this happen? I thought there were only 10,000-12,000 in the dome and they were the largest shelter around? Did they just start taking everyone who said "Oh yeah, I'm from New Orleans, can I have a room?"

Having not seen those movies, no I wouldn't. And boy is that last name appropos for that picture.

That's because there's absolutely no cam-corded/pirated release of it. Not that the movie-stealing scene couldn't do it, but nobody has bothered to try. Not a big flick, not released in many screens, etc.

Nonsense. I have tons of homoerotic JPEGs and that never happens to me. Windows has sort of a "click" sound by default that happens when you open a folder in Windows Explorer or click on a link in IE. You can turn it off by going into sound and setting the action "Start Navigation" to no sound. If that's off and you're still getting weird sounds, then there's probably some weird browser extension installed or something. And lastly, while I too keep pictures of scantily-clad men on my computer, your thing with Pee-Wee Herman STILL creeps me out.

Yeah dude, Joe Public is going to go NUTS for those Rhyno, Jeff Jarett, and Shawn Waltman matches.

$3.00 for regular? Wow. Gas prices here are still holding on at $2.60 at the low end with a number of stations heading up to the $2.80-.90 range today. I'll take this moment to remind everyone of this site: http://www.gasbuddy.com/

I'd say the governor is proving to be more stupid. She got all her facts wrong in a press conference, and then there's this gem from Wikipedia:

That's "Queering don't make the world work," son. And he looks more like an elderly JBL.

Yes to the first question, double-super-mega yes to the second. Finding out what's connected to a wireless network is easy as hell. All access points and routers have a configuration page the owner can log into that shows what it's serving local IPs to.

The Sportster is a model of Sirius radio that caters specifically to NFL fans, since Sirius has the license to air their games. Push Menu to bring up the Menu screen, use the knob to rotate through the opens on the screen and push the knob in to choose "Favorite Team." There you can choose a team and that team's logo will appear on startup. If you set this option, it will automatically turn on Game Alert, which means that if your in the car and your team is playing a game, the radio will beep and give you a moment to push the knob and be sent to the game. So don't set a team logo if you don't want to be beeped when that team is playing a game. If you didn't know how to do this, you should look in the manual (if you don't have one, there's an online PDF version here) because there's more stuff you can do, like have it beep you when a song you like is played on any channel, etc.

I suggest we just change the name of the place to the New Orleans SuperShelter. It's not like the Saints can draw 10,000 anyway.

As I said elsewhere, this is exciting for me, since we're currently between homes (renting) and just sold a house back in Northern CA right when prices peaked a little while ago, and now we need to get something here. So, housing prices going through the floor would be nice, as I'd like to live in a better part of town or a bigger place or something for this money if I could. =b C'mon, market collapse.

With the recent politicing between Shawn and Hogan along with Bret teases, it almost looks like the right time to revisit this angle.

They're only accepting people with medical problems who need assistance. If you're just a guy in town they'll turn you away and you're fucked.

Bischoff? Please, it should be Ric Flair. "Now that I got cha sittin here, I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do. AT TWELVE AM.... FRIDAY NIGHT.... I'M GONNA STROLL RIGHT ON OVER TO THAT LIL BUTTON THERE.... AND WITH JUST A TAP... There's gonna be some serious *unintelligbile*" (Flair starts speaking gibberish while flailing his arms around and makes a gesture that looks like the globe exploding) "YEAHH! WHOOOO! So, how's that sittin with ya?" Also, Kevin Nash would get 2.3 seconds of cameratime as Jaws before hurting himself.

That was pretty lousy. Their "sexy" ad campaign for the GBA-SP was much better.

What about "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I meant adventure/platforming. That's more an RPG. Although I didn't think of it when I wrote that post. Probably because I rented it and it was the worst game in terms of handling and control that I'd seen in some time. And I loved the original Mario RPG and Paper Mario 2, so there.

They're going to start over. The Plunge won't be in (which is fine, he doesn't need it anyway) and the straight-edge gimmick will most likely be tossed out. All that is fine, because all he needs are matches with the right people and hopefully for Vince to not be so rigid, and no gimmick is required.

Robertson is so powerless in the grand scheme of things that it's not really worth writing a bullet-point summary of every stupid thing he's said over the years. Which is why he unleashes whoppers like these for the attention (and donations) he so desperately craves.

I'm with Justice, this woman has come unhinged. One of the groupthink mags (Weekly Standard?) had some quotables that didn't seem to be out of context wherein she was going on about how her son was killed by freedom fighters and her son was being forced to oppress people. You know, you'd think these issues would have come up LAST YEAR when the son RE-ENLISTED and Iraq was the same mess it is right now, except without any ideas for a constitution, let alone hope they'll get one done. But whatever. People like this are why I'm losing interest in all left VS right issues that I don't really have any personal reasons to have emotions in.

That disqualifies everyone in the entire bay area.
