  1. Not to be pedantic, but it's a trademark, not a patent. And I think it's around $500. Beer thing from an admitted beer snob: In my experience, people who think beer is awful/"tastes like piss" have only ever tried shitty mass produced crap like Bud, ie, beers that pretty much do taste like piss. That's like getting diarrhea from Taco Bell and swearing off Mexican food because of it.
  2. What kind of law does Bruce Tharpe (allegedly) practice? Because if a trademark expired in January, then and March rolled around and he was like, "herp derp, guess I gotta call the gubmint and re-up this thing, herp derp," I'm not sure I'd even trust him to litigate a jaywalking rap. Like maybe he considered renewing with the USPTO in January but was distracted by a shiny object.
  3. Wait, how long did Kane wear a cape ("Kape?") and how did I never know this? Amazing.
  4. Hayes looks like he's wearing an orange vest, like he got back from doing community service just in time for the photo shoot. I'm pretty sure that is Nick Patrick.
  5. I'm just not sure where John Wick 3 goes. Apparently the entire world is after him, he has no allies except for his dog, and the bounty has been doubled to 14 million. Maybe a crossover with The Equalizer where Wick hires Robert McCall? For all the world building they've done with this criminal underworld and the super assassins that work for them, the logic of the film is shaky. How could this organization have no safeguards in place for a situation where a crime boss orders a hit on a hitman after a job has been completed? 1) You'd think this situation would have happened before and 2) you'd think all hitmen would be hesitant to take jobs with that as a possible outcome. But it's easy to ignore this logic gap when the movie is this slick and fun. "A FUCKING PENCIL!"
  6. Once you realize Ruby Rose looks like a young DiCaprio, especially in John Wick, there goes your boner. I enjoyed 2 but liked 1 better. How many "flying armbar into shooting a guy" is too many? It felt like playing the X-men side scroller on MAME with unlimited quarters where I can just keep spamming my special over and over.
  7. Yeah, from "just think of everything you want to tell me and then tell me when I get back" (a bigger kiss of death than the cop who's one day away from retirement) to the way the driving scene was framed, I figured she was going to get t-boned and die. The jump cut to the crash was amazing stuff, as was the framing of the shot with Kim staggering from the car with the Gatwood Oil papers blowing all over the road. They really set the whole thing up much earlier, as Kim's conversation with the Gatwood was really erratic and they made sure to show she had a bottle of No-Doz in the car. Other fun stuff: Chuck proves there's a little Slipping Jimmy in all of us by conning Howard with an immersion blender. Mike's entire conversation with Lydia. Nacho's heartbreaking meeting with his father. ZafiroTequila makes another appearance. I'm still torn on Jimmy working the old ladies.
  8. Apparently Kiefer Sutherland mentioned that he was reprising his role from the original and that this is a sequel.
  9. Bray Wyatt staying in character in divorce court would be something. Over/under is five nonsensical promos before his ex's lawyer calls it quits and tells her to cut her losses and that she's lucky to be rid of him.
  10. Oh man, this takes me back. The video this gif is from is well over 10 years old. I mean it predates Youtube, where you had to actually download the mp4 to watch it. You need to see the whole thing, as these goofs' screams of agony and the cameraman, who sounds EXACTLY like Butthead when he asks, "are you guys okay?" make it all worth it.
  11. Yeah, in my experience, it's really more about "rural vs urban" than it is "south vs north." I've lived in Baltimore and I've lived out in western Carroll County and the difference is stark. In the smaller town where I lived for a bit, I saw wannabe good ol' boys flying the confederate flag. There were more hicks there than in parts of Texas I've been to.
  12. Speak for yourself. I'm a manager and I'm not doing shit on weekends unless something has blown up. But seriously, good luck to my dude @WholeFnMachine
  13. Yeah Here's the Mike recap I read. He got 30K from Nacho for splitting the Hummer with him, 50K from Hector to testify that the gun wasn't Tuco's, then, the big score, 250K from Hector's ice cream truck. He is paying for his daughter-in-law's house, though, so he has less than 330K (he said "I have 200,000 I can't spend" to Gus). The initial beef was that he didn't want to testify for Tuco so Hector and the twins threatened his family. It was made worse when they killed the "good Samaritan" who stumbled across the Slaamanca truck Mike had knocked off.
  14. I had to go back and read a wikia page to remember what Mike's initial beef with the Salamancas was.
  15. They dropped the whole Rusev angle to hurriedly accommodate the last-minute Jinder push.
  16. Biff Busick is awesome but the name "Oney Lorcan" is a career killer.
  17. First thought: they have had so many titles that I don' know what the difference is between the top two and which one he still needs Second thought: so...congratulations on what, excatly? Being around long enough to amass some titles in an era where belts are akin to the town bicycle?
  18. Speaking of the Babadook, apparently it was listed under LGBT films on Netflix so now there's a meme where Mr. Babadook is now being used as a gay pride icon. LOL: Changing my profile pic in solidarity...
  19. Just name it "Cowboy Bill Watts Extended Metaphorical Blowjob Tribute Pro Wrestling" and JR will be cool with it. He may even do commentary for free.
  20. It was so laughably godawful when Hayes and Garvin debuted their new gimmick at one of the Clashes. Terrible song, mistimed lip syncing, absolutely shit gear. Oh man that fucking gear. Studded vest, snakeskin patch tights, fingerless gloves, hat, and cane? Motherfucker looked like a post-apocalyptic Debbie Gibson. Looked like a Castro District thrift shop exploded. He needed to remember Coco Chanel's cardinal rule, "Once you've dressed, and before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take at least one thing off." Heavy emphasis on the "at least one thing" part.
  21. Knockoff Dustys like Dirty Rhodes and Reo Rodgers would even be better.
  22. First thing I thought of was Blacula, then I started hoping for a Blaxploitation shared universe instead.
  23. Unless you can fill the place and get a good deal of floor seating, too, baseball stadium shows always end up looking sparse and sad. I went to a few shows years ago when WWE would book the stadium in Frederick, MD, and that's probably the best I've seen a minor league park laid out for wrestling.
  24. Holy shit, I didn't put 2 and 2 together when I was listening to the podcast but you're exactly right. That was definitely Hyatte.
