  1. A t-shirt, a homemade quilt, some pajama pants, a few books and some kitchen stuff. The strangest gift that I got was a framed picture of my wife, which started an argument. Someone explain to me why I need another photograph of my wife. I live with her. I have two pictures of her in my office.
  2. I always thought The Claw would've been a great finisher for Snitsky. He had great crazy facial expressions and would've made it look like he was trying to grind a guy's skull into mush. Like you said, you're stretching the limits of disbelief when you have dudes like Mike Von erich doing it but I think it's a better finisher for a guy like Rowan than any other generic big guy move they'd give a guy like him nowadays. Something like Kurrgan's claw into a slam/pin combo. Kevin Von Erich's kid is doing a claw into a slam thing in Japan. It looks pretty good and he's a big kid. Scott Hall's kid is doing a claw right now also. He's big (6'8" and 270 lbs), so he looks like enough of a monster to make it believable.
  3. One more example of how the aftermath of 9/11 was the real tragedy.
  4. Okay this may be a bit of an obtuse topic, but it boils down to a something that I have always wanted to do but will probably never be able to. I've wanted to write a Series similar in feel to DC's Starman for the Marvel character Nighthawk. On my PC at home I have 72 issues, a few annuals and even some one-shots (as well as a three issue Spider-Man/Nighthawk team-up that acts as a prequel to the series) of this story, that culminates into a Defenders relaunch. It became a minor obsession at one point. Now seeing as how I am no artist and I lack the funds to pay one, this story is never going to see the light of day. Does anyone else have anything like this? Am I crazy? What do I do with plots for nearly 96 comics that'll never be made?
  5. I liked Man of Steel, but I knew that it wasn't "my" Superman. The movie was made the way it was because memes get reinvented for new audiences and that's how they survive. You can get mad about it and resort to posts in ALL CAPS or you can acknowledge that the mythos is changing and adapting to what modern audiences want to see. The movie made almost a billion dollars. The Action Comics and Superman comics make around $419,000 a month selling around 140,000 copies combined. The people have spoken. Find something you do enjoy and relax. It's all good. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rage about the Sam Raimi Spider-Man flicks. Toby fucking McGuire crybaby horseshit.
  6. God I love a good Ayn Rand bashing. Fuck that bitch. Also, I love a good Dick Slater podcast.
  7. Some of my favorite memories involve being wasted drunk and watching Women's Olympic curling in a bar. The TV was on mute and we'd just try to figure out the rules and scoring. We had favorites and watched tons of curling the week that NBC would show it during late night. Man 2002 (I think) was amazing. I hope it was a good year for curling. I meant mostly for me.
  8. There are apparently over 300 places in the US. So weird.
  9. A few months ago I was with my wife and tweeted out that I was meeting people at a Pizza Inn. A few minutes later I recieved this private message on twitter.
  10. I remember wanting to like the Thrashers (I live about an hour closer to Atlanta than I do Raleigh) but that team was run so horribly for so long. There's just a stink about them now. I figured that moving to Winnipeg would fix that but it didn't. They should get rid of anyone who played for Atlanta and start over again. (by the way, the Hurricanes would be glad to take Ladd back).
  11. Whatever Bella that was ate the fuck out of that kick. Also, I loved the Orton/Bryan match. Great ending, also. Even JBL pointing out that Orton was beaten made it even better.
  12. I remember a Jimmy Garvin vs. Jushin Liger match being a spectacle.
  13. I liked Amazing Spider-Man. I found the Raimi movies to just be sort of there. The action sequences looked great until dipshit took off his mask to cry every thirty seconds. Also the whole post-9/11 "all New Yorkers are family" thing is super obnoxious. As is SpiderChrist in Part II. Kristen Whatever her name is sings! No. "I was at the door the whole time!" I'm changing my locks.
  14. I saw those pictures being tweeted out and the Arrested Development fan in me started hoping that it would turn into a Buster vs the Llama in the photo booth type thing.
  15. John Cena can act just as phony. Sometimes he sells like he's imagining what it would look like on the RAW video package. I agree with you to an extent, but Orton is way too boring for me. Even the blood coming out of Orton tonight was a small trickle that seemed to say "ehh".
  16. Is there a rule that says that once per calendar year there has to be a "Cena ties someone up/gets tied up" finish? Who is booking this, Chris Claremont?
  17. I just said this on twitter, but I'll say it here also. That pause before removing the belts sums up everything I hate about Orton. So robotic, so stiff, so planned.And it isn't a character thing, either. He's done this since day one. Cena is a natural, Orton is a play actor.
