Super Ape

Joined a new league. Out first week. This game is still stupid. Survival football can give you diabeetus, apparently.

That Ultimo/Malenko match reminds me that I need to re-print that pic of Ultimo carrying all those belts and grinning like he just pulled a heist on Reggie Parks and tape it to my wall as an inspiration poster.

Eh, Atlanta won, ensuring I move on in both our survivor pool and the one held by the local sports tal radio station. That's enough for me.

Goddammit, I picked Atlanta as my suicide pick. I hate football.

Are the Iggles really trailing to the fucking Chargers? I wonder what the over/under is on the "BRING BACK ANDY" meme coming into full effect. EDIT: MAn, Vick is really not good.

The story goes that Ian got the roster to work for free on one show because he was going to use the proceeds to buy air conditioning for another building they ran; a few weeks later someone looked into it and it turned out he bought a TV and clothes for himself. How the fuck this asshole hasn't been in a courtroom yet is just unreal.

This inspired me to dig up that old blogtalkradio interview he did in 2011 where Mickie Knuckles, Bull Pain, and JOE BAILEY all take turns ripping him a new asshole. I wonder what Joe would think about this if he was still alive to hear this news.

Which package did you buy, and is it worth it? I'm seriously thinking about dropping the scratch for it.

So I finally got some knee supports so I don't always feel like my wheels are going to snap off whenever I walk. They make me feel as tall as a tree, and about as mobile, too. Hopefully these will serve me well on that charity walk.

Give me a call when they bring back pankration. Or old-timey best-of-three catch wrestling.

Is it too soon to pinpoint shitty teams we can just ride the rest of the season?

I defy anyone to read this comment, then look at the picture, and not hear yodeling. ...I hate you so goddamn much right now.

I think I have something in my eye...

As someone who's fitness goals at present are basically "be not quite as fat," I've always said to myself that a half-marathon would be my running maximum (I wouldn't even sign up for a half at a full marathon event, lest temptation kick in, as I understand that running has a sort of appeal to it not unlike chasing a high. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, Beech.), though at Runner's World's annual half, they also do a 5K and 10K that weekend and call running all three of them a "Hat Trick." That would probably be a higher echelon running goal for me, should I pursue it (though I need to work on losing enough weight that my legs don't disintegrate, first).

Who's the dumbass who picked the Pats instead of KC in both survivor pools? I hate football. Does Belichick owe someone money? EDIT: I'll take three. Survivor pools don't run on spreads, do they?

MONDAY: Come home from work, pick the kiddo up from daycare, feed her, put her to bed, start hitting the Hop Devils while the Birds get mopped up by a backup QB and I decide whether to hope for the best or go into full-on LOL IGGLES schadenfreude.

I see Drew Magary was serious about no longer ripping apart Greggggg Easterbrook columns. *writes "Reading Jamboroos OVER" in notebook*

28. Don't take this the wrong way, Natural, but I always thought you were older than me for some reason. That said, I generally feel closer to 40.

I go one farther and say DC went out of business in 2011. A sequel to Dark Knight? The hell you say!

Man, in between my disenchantment with the 'E and Lord knows what's going on with CHIKARA, Davey Richards on WWE TV might be the push I need to fuly abandon American wrestling.I went from ROH superfan until Joe and Danielson left to following recaps on how A Double was doing to not even doing that once they let him go. And Davey is pretty much why I gave up on the indies as a whole. Restrained style or not, Davey in WWE would be a huge NOPE to me.

The Picklomats are all up ins.

Today marks three years since Mrs. Super Ape and I tied the knot. We're down the shore celebrating, plus I get a much-needed break from work!

Is the DDP Yoga worth the scratch? I have a gift card coming my way soon, so if I can't think of anything better to use it on, I'll probably get my hands on that.

So my wife and I signed us up for a charity walk in October, raising money for juvenile diabetes research (my nephew has type I), which means I need to get started on upping my walking endurance before I can walk about 5K (there's also a run for that length, but I'm NOWHERE near confident enough that I'll be able to do that and not grind my knees into a fine paste). At over 350 pounds, I'm hoping the boost to my tolerance for walking and not getting a.) sore, or b.) gassed, will be step one towards me not being such a fat shlub. Also, I've noticed a problem where I'll wake up and feel like my ribs and back were in a Zangief bearhug for eight hours. I only don't have this when I prop up all the blankets at the head of the bed and sleep in an elevated position. Is this weight, the layout of my bed, or what? Can weight loss or building muscle help with that?
