You're doing it wrong.

Is there anyone on Twitter with any information? No! And there never has been...

Unfortunately, the landing in the water tore his achilles tendon.

JBL now even refers to Michael Cole on twitter as "Maggle".

"Hello everybody, Jim Ross here with Missy Hyatt...."

And don't step to him either.

Why do I get the feeling that a portion of the briefing was to warn them not to say anything to the media, on twitter, etc, about Ebola.

How old is Randy Marsh?

It would have worked better if Diesel's gimmick was that he suffered from some type of mental disorder and actually thought he was a truck.

.........I didn't want to get sad thinking about how his is dead tho. That scene where he gives Phil Smith a big hug after his dad ditches him gets me every time.

Film production company taken over by Howard Hughes? RKO.

YES!!! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! NEIL PATRICK HARRIS MOTHERFUCKING HOST!!!! http://variety.com/2014/film/news/neil-patrick-harris-to-host-the-oscars-exclusive-1201312943/

have your low-level dipshit jump through the window up the stairs and to the left of sepiks prime at the beginning of that boss battle. He won't die there, and it will leave you to do work without having to worry about reviving his sorry ass all the time.

What an asshole that guy is. He didn't even protect Tenryu.

I prefer to have my daughter do a good job and pee in her training potty and then not get it in time for my 1yr old son to grab the bowl and throw piss all over the floor. That breaks up the silence round my place.

That all sounds fantastic. Thanks for sharing all the tidbits you find around the webz, 'Busa.

Two points: 1. What is an NBA player, let alone a future hall of famer, doing carrying his own luggage? 2. I'd almost feel bad for Kobe, but, you know, fuck him.

I didn't know rich johnston posted here.

When you meet the man who did the closed captioning, you salute that man.

Ziggler is awesome, you jerks.

The Bounty gods were kind this morning. Finished four Vanguard Bounties but waited to turn them all in at the same time. The algorithm gave me the Exotic Weapon Bounty for the machine gun, Super Good Advice. Did the first part on Mars (all I have to do is hunt for loot caches?) and now I just have to wait for Xur to show up this weekend. Tonight will be Crucible heavy for me again. I am beginning to get a sense of urgency about finally achieving Crucible Rank 3. Speaking of PvP, laggy game was laggy last night. Both Rippa and I scored kills that took almost four or five seconds to register. In the Crucible asswhipping Team Leeroy Jenkins handed out last night, I stuck a Tripmine Grenade on a crouching Bladedancer's head and it exploded right as she vanished. Got simultaneous I See You / Get It Off medals. Her PM to me was filled with many many vulgarities. We will not be asking her to join the clan. I almost got my first Master Blaster medal in the Clash match we won before I hit the sack. I got two Fusion Rifle headshot kills and then I heard the magical words HEAVY AMMO AVAILABLE~!, got the ammo, switched to my machine gun via muscle memory..... and then started yelling profanities when I realized what I had done..

Mick Foley, who'd openly praise DDD, would still bash Mero and his cinematic payoff for said efforts, had this been true.

Come on guys! Being the most sober member of The Kliq wasn't really that hard.

Which one of them is older?

Face Eraser is done from a victory roll position lifted into the face plant. Crash Thunder Buster is a side face plant from a backdrop position. Dominator is a face plant done from a fire thunder power bomb position. Implant Buster is a double undertook into the face plant. Dean used to do the Dodon, which is the Glam Slam (Elevated double chicken wing into the sit out face plant). AJ Styles used to do what he called the Styles Special, which was a German Suplex rolled-through into the backdrop sit out face buster. I am a stickler for moves.

This thread needs more Pugs in Lucha attire

So I was watching some old TNA stuff from right after Hogan and Bischoff came in, and it occurred to me that Hulk Hogan is basically Gizmo from the Gremlins movie. Sure, he's nice at first and you think he'll be great to have around, but inevitably, you hire him after midnight, and he becomes an evil, wrinkled troll of sorts. Next thing you know, he's tearing up stuff and wrecking your business. Then he gets into the CEO's office and things really go sideways. After that, it's like he reproduced cause not only do you got Hulk Hogan wrecking your promotion, but you got all his creepy sidekicks wrecking things and flinging cocaine at the walls. Hulk Hogan. Don't feed his ego after midnight, kids. Very important.

Maybe Brie Bella will get into Brie Mode, whatever that means. Why would she want to get shit-faced during a match? It's her and Nikki in a cell. Who WON'T want to get shitfaced during that match?

Don't you dare pity that team. I won't stand for it.

Chris Ivory, you can go to hell.

He clearly did. . .

I actually liked Gotham this week a fair bit. It seemed to find a focus that the show hasn't had before. It earned another week of DVR.

V/H/S i love horror anthologies and have found the horror mockumentary to be a hit or miss kinda deal. So it goes with V/H/S. V/H/S certainly cracks the code on the primary failure of the Found Footage sub-genre by keeping things short and simple. However the quality of the shorts is uneven to say the least, ranging from the totally macabre to the downright bewildering. It consistently suspenseful but uneven and inconsistently rewarding. If you watch this movie with your friends, there will be the inevitable "which short was best?" argument. I personally thought that the first short "Amateur Night" was the best one, but my friends go with the typical anthology logic and seem to believe that the last short of the bunch "10/31/98" was the superior piece. I will leave you to be the judge. The sad thing is that this movie aspires to be either the best horror anthology ever or the best horror mockumentary ever, and it doesn't succeed in either arena. If you want to see a really good found footage horror film, NOROI: THE Curse, is still the best (or at least it may be until I get around to watching Afflicted or V/H/S 2), and the best horror anthology ever IMO is Mario Bava's 1963 epic, Black Sabbath.

Kidd/Hall vs Dusty/Devitt in a Cannon Ball Run WWEN series.

Rich Franklin Zone. He isn't fighting anyone close to the title. I think they were trying to do Faber vs. Assuncao II but Faber didn't want that. They probably would sacrifice Assuncao especially if Cruz would be the presumed favorite over Dillashaw.

Well if that isn't a great Freudian slip

Were those taken at an IWA Mid South show?

In that couple of years Mutoh's knees continued to deteriorate. It made the shining wizard less painful because there was less knee to hit you with.

Okay, to preface this for those who don't know, Karl Edward Wagner was a writer, editor, publisher and most of all a friend and mentor to one OSJ... Like Stephen King and Ramsey Campbell, Karl was a student of the game, scouring British bookstalls on his frequent trips to the UK for the old, obscure, and creepy. In his monthly column in Twilight Zone he posited three lists of what he felt were the "best" horror novels of all time. Karl later confided to me that if Twilight Zone was still being published, he would have perhaps amended the list as he had read a lot more material since the original article. So, in three posts I'm going to present the original list and my suggestions for a few changes based on the fact that I've outlived Karl and read a lot more of this stuff in the last twenty years. In no way is this a disrespect of his original list. It's just that I know there was stuff he didn't have access to until it was too late. There are three categories, Non-Supernatural, Supernatural, and Science Fictional Horror. BEST SUPERNATURAL NOVELS (they are not in a particular order of greatness): 1. "Hell," Said the Duchess - Michael Arlen (An interesting book, but probably doesn't belong here; may I suggest you try one of Ramsey Campbell's supernatural novels instead.) 2. The Burning Court - John Dickson Carr (Known as a master of locked-room mysteries Carr could do anything he put his mind to, including writing effective supernatural horror). 3. Alraune - Hanns Heinz Ewers (This is part of a trilogy, and while all three are good, I don't think we need all three on the list. So let's drop this in favor of something by Caitlin R. Kiernan. Pretty much anything besides Five of Cups, which is merely good, but not great.) 4. Dark Sanctuary - H.B. Gregory (A Xtian take on Lovecraft, absolutely excellent in every respect.) 5. Falling Angel - William Hjortsberg (You've seen the movie, now read the book, you'll be glad you did.) 6. Maker of Shadows - Jack Mann (you can't go wrong with Jack Mann, I prefer Nightmare Farm, but that's just me) 7. Melmoth the Wanderer - Charles Maturin (It's a chore to read, but worth it, merits the distinction as a "classic") 8. The Yellow Misteltoe - Walter S. Masterman (Masterman is going to have two novels on these lists and both deserve to be there.) 9. Burn, Witch Burn - A. Merritt (I know this is blasphemy, but I just can't read Merritt any longer without laughing out loud. What was reall cool when I was twelve is really awful at 50-something. Let's drop this in favor of Master of Souls or The Wizard of Berner's Abbey by Mark Hansom. Yes, Hansom's British pulp, but he's very, very cool.) 10. Doctors Wear Scarlet - Simon Raven (This or his Roses of Picardie, Raven spent most of his career writing mainstream novels and libeling people he didn't like, when he close to write supernatural fiction he was bloody brilliant.) 11. Medusa - E.H. Visiak (This is simply awful, but everyone should read it. A horribly failed experiment, there's actually a really cool novel in there, it's just not the one that Visiak chose to write. If we want archaic language for the sake of atmosphere, let's have The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson, which is actually excellent.) 12. Fingers of Fear - J.U. Nicolson (Brilliant, I've always thought that the author started out to lampoon the genre and the book got away from him and turned into a classic.) 13. Echo of a Curse - R.R. Ryan (Best novel on this list and one of the best horror novels ever written. That this got published over seventy years ago (or at all) is a miracle. Some seriously sick and twisted stuff here. I wanted to stick Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons in there somewhere, but y'all probably know about that one anyway.

Because there hasn't been a decent wrestling book released in months, I'm re-reading Jericho's first book. I forgot how much he talked about the other wrestlers, my favorite being about Hardbody Harrison: "He was constantly submitting weird angles and stories to the office, trying to get himself a push. First he came up with the idea of painting his face and becoming Sting's black nemesis, Stang." (P. 330)

Not worth it. I wrote a small review of it over at my old site Drop ToeHold as I got my hands on a review copy. There's no real meat to anything in his book and he just flies through everything. Super disappointed, but here's a bit about showing up unannounced on WCW Monday Nitro and pissing off Hogan: "When I arrived at the Mall of America, I had a towel over my head and was immediately escorted to the inner bowels of the mall, well away from the locker room and central concourse area where everything was happening. It wasn’t until that moment that I knew how it was all going to come down. ‘At the very end of the show you’ll come out in your street clothes,’ Eric told me, ‘and get nose-to-nose with Hulk Hogan." "My entrance was definitely a surprise — to the crowd and to the other wrestlers gathered there. I walked up to Hogan and said my line: ‘I’m back at the WCW to wrestle with the big boys.’ I was still in Hogan’s face when they signaled for a short commercial break. Knowing we were off the air momentarily, I broke character and smiled at Hogan. It was a big mistake. 'Wipe that grin off your face, or I'll knock it off. You're stealing money from me and my family right now,' he said to me through gritted teeth. I immediately stopped smiling. After the show I tried to apologize to him, but he brushed me off. I learned a big lesson from him that night: never break character when on camera in front of the fans — even on a commercial break.”
