TheBostonStrangler Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Rescued After 15 Hours I'm in California now before I fly back to Boston tomorrow. However, I'm gonna be on CNN tomorrow morning on their early show at some point. I'm gonna milk those 15 minutes of fame for all they're worth, baby. And no, I will NOT plug the SWF on CNN.
Ace309 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Can I at least get a shoutout? And can someone tape it and vidcap it for those of us who lack cable?
Justice Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 First he no-sells a car, now he no-sells the ocean. Silent would be jealous.
chirs3 Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 We have GOT to overnight-ship him a Justice and Rule t-shirt for the show.
Secret Agent Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 I guess this gives new meaning to Strangler's lost at sea matches.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 "Known around the Internet Wrestling Community as The Boston Strangler..."
devo Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 "Known around the Internet Wrestling Community as The Boston Strangler..." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ahahaha. When does that show start?
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 That's, uh, truly bizarre. Way to...not die. I'll be in planes tomorrow but I'll see if they show you in the airport.
Toxxic Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 He [strangler] told KGMB-TV that he was thrown off the watercraft by a large wave and that it drifted away before he could swim to it. I hate it when waves drift away before I can swim to them. Way to go TBS - you kept your head, AND your trousers.
TheBostonStrangler Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 The show runs from 7 AM - 10 AM EST. I think I'll be on in the tail end of the program, around 9:30 AM EST or so. I'm on the West Coast right now, and I'm taping the interview before the show starts, so I'll be doing the interview around 3:30 AM PST, which should be a nice strain on my sleep-deprived system. And Johnny, I actually thought about those damn Lost At Sea matches I booked when I was stuck out there. Fitting that it would happen to me, huh?
Mr. S£im Citrus Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I'm not seeing what the big deal is; I spent a month and a half floating in the Pacific Ocean...
Secret Agent Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Well I'm surprised you guys didn't run into each other, WC. Even if you're half a World away... not like the Ocean's THAT big.
muzz Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 "He was sitting on top of his life jacket which was actually a good move on his part," said Pablo Lagarde of the Coast Guard. "If he was submerged with his life jacket, all we could see was his head." Way to go Pat.
the.weej Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 All right, so I just saw the interview. First off, TBS looks absolutely nothing like I would've pictured. Apparently he passed a picture around that I never got to see, so I guess for those of you who are still wondering, he could probably pass for Thoth's brother under bad light. Seriously, I'm not even kidding. Secondly, I couldn't help giggling over his own - as he might describe - "internet accent," mixed slightly with the New England one we all knew had to be there. I also really enjoyed the "Wow I'm on TV" face you made through the whole interview. But seriously, I think Edwin summed it up the best. Good work not dying; I think if it became apparent to must of us that we were stranded in the middle of the ocean we would've started panicking and then, y'know, drowning in the first 30 minutes. -Z
Angel_Grace_Blue Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Word. This is the airline announcement whenever Tom flies: "In the event of a water landing, Tom Flesher's neck can be used as a floatation device."
Toxxic Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Tom may not walk on water, but he does run on porter.
chirs3 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Bah, I overslept (go figure). Anywhere to see this online?
Secret Agent Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Bah, I overslept (go figure). Anywhere to see this online? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I looked and so far I haven't come up with anything on CNN.com
Angel_Grace_Blue Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 I missed it as well. For those that did see it, make it into a MS Paint cartoon, or use dfilm.com Anyone remember when I used to make those 'movies' on dfilm? Good times.
devo Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/...1/ln/ln16p.html That site features a pic of Strangler and one of a woman pointing at a chart. Very nice. Yeah, TBS doesn't look a thing like I pictured. That's not to say he isn't a handsome fellow, though.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 "Hannon said he began flailing in the water to get away — exactly what experts tell swimmers not to do when confronted with a shark." That made me laugh.
TheBostonStrangler Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Posted June 24, 2005 What can I say, Spike? I'm a smooth operator, baby.
Justice Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 Damn, no one made the "TBS on CNN/Turner Empire" joke yet.
TheBostonStrangler Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Posted June 25, 2005 Of course, neither did you. Put in the two minutes of work and make the joke yourself, you land-loving bastard.
A Happy Medium Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 Strangler > Poseidon I missed the drama. And Strangler looks nothing like I imagined.

Yeah, sure. The face is too thin, and the hair is way too blonde.
Toxxic Posted June 26, 2005 Report Posted June 26, 2005 ...well, Muzz was right. It ISN'T him. Unless he's pulling a double-bluff, cunning Aussie bastard.
