2009 TSM Poster Tournament: The Semifinals

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Damn, Page 2 (on a 50 posts per page setting) was pretty brutal for both VX and I. It was KIND of close before the end of Page 1 for my round, but currently it's Kinetic: 26 Venkman: 19. Maybe my wrestling folder brethren aren't reading my signature. VX's is still much closer - Agent: 24 VX: 21.

Okay there smart guy, a twist of lemon in tomato juice DOES cut down the acidic taste of the tomato because of citrus flavor. I wasn't attempting to refer to the specific pH of it or anything, but it works in the same sort of way that a twist of lemon works in a glass of water

 

Lemon juice isn't going to cut the acidity of water either, mang.

 

Oh, there's the fact that food folderians would vote for a guy that has never had sushi before this past year and has to start a thread on recommendations for it- and who's favorite variation ends up being the COOKED stuff. Please, people.

 

Tell you what, next time I'll get some of that sparklin' fresh O-Toro here in FORT WAYNE, INDIANA. I can still smell the essence of the pacific...two and a half thousand miles away. Plus however the fuck far off the west coast they catch the bastards. What kind of dumb-dumb is going to think suitable sashimi-grade fish is available out here at a price a workin' man can afford? Unagi suits me fine.

[Guest Czech please!]

Yeah!

 

And another thing, I don't get why "rebuilding the WWE folder" is such a big deal. Doesn't wrestling suck right now? If the product is shit, how good can the discussions be? "I'm so happy we have a WWE folder again!" Really? I thought everyone here stopped caring about that stuff. I wanted to cut the Overseas and TNA folders, but was talked out of it.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it sucks... Schmuck.

I wouldn't say that Venk has helped rebuilt the WWE folder, but he's done a good job as a mod. I like that he's willing to go into the General Discussion threads and spin things off into seperate topics, which helps generate more discussion. Previous mods (htq) would just shuttle everything into Comments That Don't Warrant a Thread, which just made the folder one big mess of a thread.

That's pretty false reasoning. First off, I wouldn't say wrestling sucks right now. I've really enjoyed the WWE product as of late, and while it will never be as good as the glory year of 2000, they put together a good product.

 

"I'm so happy we have a WWE folder again!" Really? I thought everyone here stopped caring about that stuff.

 

I've always found the arrogance of posters looking down at the wrestling folders to be one of the things that bothered me most about TSM. Yes, you may think wrestling is stupid, that's great. But there's a lot of people who still enjoy watching and discussing it.

 

It's like how you look down on the movie folder, because everyone loves The Dark Knight, and you just happen to not like Batman.

 

I wanted to cut the Overseas and TNA folders, but was talked out of it.

 

This is stupid. You never post in the folders, let alone go into them, and you just want to blindly close them because of the stigma that wrestling attaches.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

He is right on one thing. We don't need an Overseas/Indies folder. It should be merged with TNA. I've been advocating that one since before I was a mod.

[bob_barron 0]

It was more for discussing indie promotions. We probably don't need that one anymore, since a lot of the indie posters have moved on, and not many people talk about ROH anymore. We could probably move that to General Wrestling

You're right, but it sure makes it tastes better. I'm working off of taste here, not the actual acidity.

A price a "workin' man" can afford? You mean you have it available, but it's too expensive for you? 'Sides, the Pacific is far, but the Atlantic isn't as far- you guys can't get a decent catch from Atlantic waters? I'm not giving you shit here, by the way, it's just a strange concept to me considering I've never lived further than 100 miles from any coastline.

 

And it isn't even the unagi that's bothersome, it's the yakitori. Jesus. You guys should just have a ramen bar out there instead if you can't afford sashimi-grade fish.

Combine Indy, Japan and TNA as Non-Titan Wrestling (only with a better name), keep general for historical analysis and discussion.

Yeah, as one of the more respectable posters in the top half of the board, I've always advocated for the assimilation of The Overseas/Indy Folder into The TNA or General folders.

Given that TNA is its own thing (2-hour show, monthly PPV, etc), I feel overseas/indy would be more suited for the General folder.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Alright, let's do something about it then. I think it's a good idea for Site Feedback.

[Brett Favre 0]

I think overseas and indy and all that should be a sub-folder to TNA.

I can get plenty of decent sushi in central Kentucky.

 

It looks like there's at least three restaurants in Fort Wayne where you could get sushi:

And you could also probably get plenty of it in Indianapolis, South Bend or Columbus or Dayton in Ohio.

When Kinetic posts, he does the work of three men: Larry, Curly, and Moe. He doesn't know the meaning of the word fear, but then again there are a lot of words he doesn't know the meaning of. And if there's one word to sum up all of Kinetic's success, it's lucky.

 

It's been killing me...what is this from?

I know I'm gonna kick myself once somebody tells me.
