Yeah, I know he was a fine human being, but I never found Williams’ “9 year old acting out in a desperate plea for attention” style amusing. “I’M FUNNY AND JUST DID SOME BLOW PLEASE LOVE MEEEE” is really sad.

To paraphrase an adage about conspiracy belief: if you didn’t get into your beliefs because of facts, no amount of facts is going to get you out of it.

That reminds me, i’ve never seen their signs or location, but I have seen their truck a lot around me, there is a Mario Bros paint contractor near me. Yeah, good luck trying to Google that business.

The idea that TK knows the numbers but is fucking around with the IWC equivalent of the Qanon crowd fills me with joy. There are people who think TK is paying people to watch. Anything to make them more miserable, I say.

There’s a “Blunt Road” by me. They had to put the sign on an extra high post because it kept getting stolen.

I need to see The Outrunners coaching Orange through physical therapy. Leg warmers, Jane Fonda workout on VHS, the whole thing. Truth can go into his fanny pack for “some special supplements that helped the boys a lot back in the day” and Orange would turn them down.

Somehow I don’t think Cassidy will have the same “recovery regimen” they did.

Unfortunately, they could do that angle today and all the subtext of it could just be out in the open.

Claudio has this weird jacket with what looks like wax seals holding strips of paper to the jacket. I have no idea what the fuck that shit is. LOOOOOL I just Googled it and they're "purity seals" from Warhammer 40k. I still have no idea what the fuck that shit is. I thought it was a nice way for him to not forget his grocery and/or to-do lists.

I can’t talk shit on town names. I’m within driving distance of cities called Parole and Intercourse.

Dax has two emotes: “Put hand in air, gesture vaguely with hand, repeat” and then the same thing but step 1 is “put hand on forehead.” Don’t forget Moose Jaw. Aside from the obvious Heyman joke, it took me back to my shitty late teens where a postdated check with the admonition “don’t cash that until Friday” was a typical Christmas and birthday gift.

As great as Austin-McMahon was, it also popularized the Heel Authority Figure, a blight on creativity that affected multiple promotions and that WWE is maybe only just now coming out of, 27ish years after it was first done.

Random shit: Props to the fan with the "Boring me to Death Riders" sign Swerve's punches on Mox to start the match were baaaad That mixed tag was awesome. I guess limited man on woman violence is okay. Really smart how they worked around that, deftly avoiding it until the Moxley DDT on Willow, which made it all the more impactful. Dax needs to visit Cody's acting coach. My dude only has one way of emoting and it's pretty awful. Also, SHOOT NAMES HAVE BEEN UTTERED! I died at Taz's reaction to Dax's "don't cash that until Friday" line.

Yep! Reading @Stefanie Sparkleface’s post, Hollywood Accounting was the first thing I thought of. There are blockbusters that have somehow never made a dime.

Lashley was definitely the only high point of the episode!

These episodes were so good. I wonder if they ever shot an episode where the guest didn’t give RJ anything, and it was so bad they decided against airing it. I guess not, since the Hurt Syndicate ep was just them taking themselves way too seriously and trying to be tough guys, was boring, and they still released it. I feel like there’s a spectrum with all eps falling somewhere between: 1) Cool, funny guest who gets it and it’s magic 2) Funny gimmick episode 3) Non English speaker, jokes don’t land, and it just feels awkward. Unintentional punching downward; guest can’t play along so the joke is accidentally on them 3) Jerks who won’t let their guard down and it sucks

I would love for 1) both companies to go full streaming, no TV and 2) for everyone to concede @Niners Fan in CT’s point that we can never have accurate streaming numbers. Between the bad faith tribalists twisting the numbers to match their narratives, and aspie androids like Dave who just can’t help it, I’m so tired of this late 90s style obsession with ratings.

OR it’s awful, cowardly people taking advantage of a non-toxic work environment and a boss who isn’t a bully, and then falling in line and being lap dogs as soon as they’re working for bigger assholes who won’t take their shit.

You suspiciously neglected to mention Punk being a decidedly unpunk corporate company man when laying out examples of former malcontents being on their best behavior .

I see so many tv spots for this! I thought it was just a DC area thing for some dumb reason. I have no idea who the target audience is for this, nor have I met a single person who’s ever seen it. I always assumed it was a propaganda thing sponsored by some anti-communist organization, or a money laundering scheme, or maybe both.

I remember liking him in The Hard Way and Secret of My Success in the 80s and I'm one of the handful of people who enjoyed The Frighteners. He had an amazing two episode arc on Curb Your Enthusiasm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI4lFjWoFqc

Oh man, I’ve been there. That’s why I try to run in the street as much as possible. Sidewalk pavers are unpredictable, especially in tree lined areas where the roots get under them and push them up. There’s one near me where the paving stone is so high up, like four inches on one side, that they created a sort of asphalt ramp instead of fixing it!

WWE - Don’t work with awful people challenge - difficulty level: impossible McAfee promoted anti-trans rhetoric during the Olympics. He’s a meathead piece of shit. This company, helmed by a rapist and human trafficker for damn near half a century, gives no fucks what anyone thinks. But go ahead and keep giving them your money.

Despite the lack of @Shartnado videos, I'd still like to discuss fitness, dammit! I'm about to hang up on a two hour work all hands meeting, an hour and change in, to go run a few miles and lift for a half hour. I ran six miles Sunday and 5.5 yesterday. Weather is getting warmer, so running is getting tougher. Need to figure out a way to run with some Gatorade without encumbering myself, somehow.
