    I disagree with that. Those examples are of people who were tag wrestlers because they sucked at everything else. Some people are just mad for the tag division and have no business being singles wrestlers. Sid was not a Hart/HBK level of wrestler, and he was just as big after the Skyscrapers. It all boils down to whether the wrestler is marketable and is given the right push.

    Tales of Restaurant Misbehavior

    Back in college, a local Burger King was running a special price promotion for a burger that I can't remember. I asked them to leave something off, and they said they couldn't do that as it would turn said burger into this other burger which was priced higher because it was not on special. I retorted that I didn't like the item that I requested them to leave off, and they said "Well, you're going to have to pay the higher price." I summed up the situation to see if she could catch the irony in paying them not to use an item that would cost them money for each use. She just said, "That's our policy." I stated that the company must not have thought this through, and I couldn't exactly "Have It (My) Way." I ordered a couple of the specialty burgers and requested "extra" of the item that I didn't like. There was no extra fee. I laughed at how stupid that was, got my burgers, immediately took off the items that I didn't like, then sat down to eat them. It might have cost them an extra 3 cents or something, but I was determined to bring them down penny by penny.

    He's no Mackey Sasser, but he's doing an outstanding job. He got a chance due to an injury, and he is being productive at the plate for the first time ever. He calls a good game and has been working with the young pitchers on the Reds staff. You may not like Paul Bako, but Paul Bako says fuck you.

    Box Office Report...

    At the local theater, they had a pre-sale on Prince Caspian tickets for at least 3 weeks, and probably closer to a month. There was promotion for it everywhere around the theater. I was expecting it to do huge numbers if they were doing a pre-sale for a theater that would have it on 6 screens or so.

    The Dark Knight

    I took that as "most films made" for a superhero franchise.

    Part of the gimmick for both wrestlers.

    Bako has been good with RISP if I am not mistaken. I'll look for his stats. Great win for the Reds today. I figured this series would be a pitching series, and it has been a lower scoring affair until the later innings so far. Tomorrow should be a great game to watch with two ERA leaders going at it.

    The Eliminator

    Captain of Outer Space did put up a herculean effort, so I am fine with him being the winner.

    If you were a cop, would you be corrupt?

    I would not accept bribes or do anything that would jeopardize my career. However, I would help my friends and associates with minor inconveniences. I would be considerate and not behave like a dick just because I have a badge. I was in law enforcement at one time (jurisdiction over places that sold/served alcohol), and I was professional with my dealings with the public. However, I didn't put up with disrespect and usually scared the shit out of bar owners that weren't cooperative when I would enforce every minor law. They were usually very cooperative after they saw what being an asshole got them.

    LOST

    I think it is a combination of a huge settlement from Oceanic, possibly compensation from Widmore on top of that, and not wanting to tell the public what really happened on that island and the fact that they killed people and left people for dead. Not to mention the fact that the island might not be able to be found easily.

    I'm rooting for him. I enjoyed him on the Reds last year and hope he has a terrific career. Way to turn your life around, Josh.

    I was busy with some things I needed to take care of and didn't get the game turned on until the start of the 6th inning. I saw that Cueto has not given up a hit by that point. Three of the first four batters I saw in the game hit home runs, and the next two after that reached on a walk and an error. I considered turning the game off due to the obvious curse I had brought upon the Reds' team, but I watched the rest of the game anyway.

    Reds game was rained out, saving the team from a Matt Belisle start. That isn't being snarky, as he is currently retooling his mechanics and a skipped start would do him some good at this point. I wish they would juts bring up Homer Bailey and let him get the experience, but I guess they still don't think he has the picth count mastered.

    If he can keep that up and lead the Astros into the playoffs, he will probably get the MVP. I know both of those are just pipe dreams at this stage of the season, but I can't think of a player in the NL that has done more for his team as a whole.

    Seemed to me like the promoter made lemonade out of lemons. He may have made bad decisions to let Sandman get to that point, no doubt, but he did the best he could do after the fact. He made fun of Sandman and put it up for the internet world to see, promoting his company at the same time. Then, he promoted his website and a DVD of the event so people could see the entire thing. I doubt that this will push them into the big time or anything, but he will probably make a little more money off the event.

    All-Time NBA Roster Draft

    I have been waiting on someone to take Bellamy since the second round. If you are just looking at their peak, he was one of the best big men around. He's not Wilt, Russell, Kareem, et al, but he definitely put up some huge numbers and was a force inside.

    Depends on if they are actual certified trainers or not, and what their personal philosophy is.

    Adam Dunn can be traded after June 15th. I personally do not want to see Griffey leave, but business is business. Expect Dunn to be gone before the deadline, though.

    Gas Price Check...

    http://www.fossil.energy.gov/programs/rese.../spr-facts.html Edit---Question: How fast can oil be released from the Reserve? Answer: Should the President order an emergency sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve oil, DOE can conduct a competition, select offers, award contracts, and be prepared to begin deliveries of oil into the marketplace within 13 days. Oil can be pumped from the Reserve at a maximum rate of 4.4 million barrels per day for up to 90 days, then the drawdown rate begins to decline as storage caverns are emptied. At 1 million barrels per day, the Reserve can release oil into the market continuously for nearly a year-and-a-half. (from the same site's FAQ)

    Gas Price Check...

    Marvin, it's not a fucking law, it's all they can physically remove in one day. There is a limit to how much they can get out of there, consumption be damned. I know you have no idea about this because Glenn hasn't told you what to think yet, but this is not a rationing issue.
  23. Dandy

    Gas Price Check...

    So you are just going by what Glenn Beck said? They cannot extract more than 4.4 million barrels per day at this point. Consequently, you have to use that number instead of what is consumed per day. I don't care if we start consuming 700 million barrels per day, you can only get 4.4 million out. Tell Glenn that I don't have an expertise in anything either, so I might try to take his job.
