    Oh, and Shane shouldn't have been trying to sell his "stick and move" bullshit for this. If he's that pissed off, he doesn't need to be doing fancy footwork like he's some boxer or something.

     

    Also, why would he even be pissed off in the first place. I thought all of the McMahons hated eachother? Or did they have a love in recently that I missed?

     

    On RAW Homecoming or something like that, they announced they are all better after counseling.

    -Lied and claimed that Punk told him he was fine with the wake incident.

    -Angrily posted after ROH staged a fake riot (that got real in parts) while his father, recovering from some ailment, was in attendance. At the time, a picture was circulating that showed him throwing himself on top of his father.

     

    -Asked Derek Burgan, who has mocked him many times in his columns, to

    confront him at an ROH show so he could try to beat him up.

     

    - Had this convo with CM Punk on AIM:

    paulsosn: Hi. I just wanted to say, as someone who has always supported you from your very first appearance in ROH, thanks for all you did for the company. You'll be missed.

    paulsosn: this is green lantern fan, by the way

    paulsosn: are you busy?

    paulsosn: you can verify my ID with gabe if you want

    paulsosn: nothing?

    paulsosn: well i was gonna ask why you wouldn't sign that great 8X10" at the restaurant during gregh's luncheon, but oh well

    paulsosn: remember i approached you on the stairs as you were leaving-- all you said was "NO"

    paulsosn: no reply? nothing at all?

    paulsosn: my buddies and I were laughing all day about your just saying NO to me

    paulsosn: dude i was one of six people in the building cheering my ass off for you when you debuted and did that interview in the murphy rec center

    paulsosn: now you're really hurting my feelings....

    paulsosn: i am very sad right now

    paulsosn: Mr Punk?

    paulsosn: well i'm sorry this didn't work out. goodnight and good luck to you, sir

    paulsosn: bye?

     

    Oh man, I didn't know about more than half of those. Awful but hilarious.

     

    I'm surprised he didn't call Punk Mr. Brooks.


  4. There's no way Marvel could copyright Loki unless he came out ot the ring in green tights and golden horns or something. It'd be like trying to copyright Jesus or Santa Claus.

     

    Santa was created by Coca-Cola.

     

    Wrong.

     

    American origins

     

    In the British colonies of North America and later the United States, British and Dutch versions of the gift-giver merged further. For example, in Washington Irving's History of New York, (1809), Sinterklaas was Americanized into "Santa Claus" but lost his bishop's apparel, and was at first pictured as a thick-bellied Dutch sailor with a pipe in a green winter coat. Irving's book was a lampoon of the Dutch culture of New York, and much of this portrait is his joking invention.

     

    Modern ideas of Santa Claus seemingly became canon after the publication of the poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (better known today as "The Night Before Christmas") in the Troy, New York, Sentinel on December 23, 1823 anonymously; the poem was later attributed to Clement Clarke Moore. In this poem Santa is established as a heavyset man with eight reindeer (who are named for the first time). One of the first artists to define Santa Claus's modern image was Thomas Nast, an American cartoonist of the 19th century. In 1863, a picture of Santa illustrated by Nast appeared in Harper's Weekly.

    Thomas Nast immortalized Santa Claus with an illustration for the January 3, 1863 issue of Harper's Weekly.

     

    In the late 19th century, a group of Sami people moved from Finnmark in Norway to Alaska, together with 500 reindeer to teach the Inuit to herd reindeer. The Lomen Company then used several of the Sami together with reindeer in a commercial campaign. Reindeer pulled sleds with a Santa, and one Sami leading each reindeer. The American commercial Santa Claus, coming from the North Pole with reindeer was born.[23]

     

    L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, a 1902 children's book, further popularized Santa Claus. Much of Santa Claus's mythos was not set in stone at the time, leaving Baum to give his "Neclaus" (Necile's Little One) a wide variety of immortal support, a home in the Laughing Valley of Hohaho, and ten reindeer which could not fly, but leapt in enormous, flight-like bounds. Claus's immortality was earned, much like his title ("Santa"), decided by a vote of those naturally immortal. This work also established Claus's motives: a happy childhood among immortals. When Ak, Master Woodsman of the World, exposes him to the misery and poverty of children in the outside world, Santa strives to find a way to bring joy into the lives of all children, and eventually invents toys as a principal means.

     

    Images of Santa Claus were further popularized through Haddon Sundblom's depiction of him for The Coca-Cola Company's Christmas advertising in the 1930s. The popularity of the image spawned urban legends that Santa Claus was in fact invented by Coca-Cola or that Santa wears red and white because they are the Coca-Cola colors.[24] In reality, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising – White Rock Beverages used Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923. Furthermore, the massive campaign by Coca-Cola simply popularized the depiction of Santa as wearing red and white, in contrast to the variety of colours he wore prior to that campaign; red and white was originally given by Nast.

     

    The image of Santa Claus as a benevolent character became reinforced with its association with charity and philanthropy, particularly organizations such as the Salvation Army. Volunteers dressed as Santa Claus typically became part of fundraising drives to aid needy families at Christmas time.

     

    In 1889, the poet Katherine Lee Bates created a wife for Santa, Mrs. Claus, in the poem "Goody Santa Claus on a Sleigh Ride." The 1956 popular song by George Melachrino, "Mrs. Santa Claus," helped standardize and establish the character and role in the popular imagination.

     

    In some images of the early 20th century, Santa was depicted as personally making his toys by hand in a small workshop like a craftsman. Eventually, the idea emerged that he had numerous elves responsible for making the toys, but the toys were still handmade by each individual elf working in the traditional manner.

     

    The concept of Santa Claus continues to inspire writers and artists, as in author Seabury Quinn's 1948 novel Roads, which draws from historical legends to tell the story of Santa and the origins of Christmas. Other modern additions to the "mythology" of Santa include Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the ninth and lead reindeer immortalized in a Gene Autry song, written by a Montgomery Ward copywriter.
