Matt do you happen to know if any of Tracy Smothers' 88-89 NJPW tour is on tape? All I've been able to find are a couple of JIP tag matches.

All I remember from Singles is Kyra Sedgwick looking finer than frog's hair in tapered jeans.

That place was too fucking weird to quit. The owner of the store was schizophrenic, and while it was mostly controlled by medication he was still fuckin weird. His office was right off the textbook floor and he'd sleep on the floor with his head under his desk with his door open in the middle of the day because his meds made him sleepy. The textbook manager, my boss, was a bitter twice-divorced alcoholic with an encyclopedic knowledge of classic rock and Chelsea football. The art department manager was an acid casualty who'd been one of the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers back when. The supplies manager was an ex-speedfreak who would, on her frequent smoke breaks, wax rhapsodic about how great dexatrim was. The office manager was embezzling money to pay for her daughter's travel volleyball team. We made insane local commercials based off of whatever pop culture trend the owner or his wife had heard of. This was 2003 and somehow they became aware of the Chapelle Show Lil Jon sketch. It made it into the commercial in the form of our white IT guy in a Jack Sparrow wig saying Yeah and OK in a really not-OK impression of Lil Jon. But I could show up as high as I wanted and I stole a lot of books so I ended up working there for two years until I moved to Madison. RIP Jayhawk Bookstore

Reminding me of when I worked at a college bookstore that was right at the top of the biggest hill in Lawrence, so our loading dock inclined away from the building. Truckers would show up with 5-6 3000# pallets of books and curse is the entire time they had to drag those things uphill from the nose of their 53' trailer.

My wife's estranged dad had the fucking temerity to text her out of nowhere asking for money and I am going to piledrive this motherfucker into the earth's molten core

Also how Stephen Jackson got drafted out of Butler County Junior College.

Georgia might just drop their basketball program at halftime

My wife's siblings are here for a couple of weeks and I am already tired of having people in my house.

My play for the Northwoods games is get the unlimited food ticket, spend the first 2-3 innings pounding beers and brats then go snag a seat on the first base line to watch the rest of the game.

Dad & I had season tickets to our local AA team (RIP Wranglers) when I was in high school and it was great fun just to keep score and shoot the shit.

AA/AAA ball is fun because you get to see prospects on their way up or guys on their way down. Lower-level/unaffiliated ball is fun because sitting the sun watching baseball is almost always better than not sitting in the sun watching baseball.

God, high school debaters really are the perfect audience for AI bullshit. I wonder if half of the citations are real anymore.

Appreciate it, Paul. Love ya.

McCaffrey is a prick, I saw him get booted from the Kohl Center and he was trying to get to the refs by wriggling out of his suit coat that his assistants were using to hold him back.

Damn, that is terrible. RIP I think I like The Last Amateurs more than A Season on the Brink.

Powerwash Simulator 2 announced for a 2025 release, so there's my GOTY locked down.

Caster would make a really great face when he got tossed up for the high-speed Samoan drop, I'm sold.

That's how I feel about Bell's getting bought out by Kirin. Sucks knowing they'll never get to do weird shit like brewing a series of beers based on Holst's The Planets again.

My pet theory is that TK thought Danielson would be able to go longer than he did, but his neck was too jacked up so they had to pull the trigger on the Death Riders angle early and have pretty much been vamping since then.

Did the kitchen sink name originate in the AKI N64 games? Because that's the only place I've heard it outside of Excalibur using it (who I'm assuming got it from same).

I finished all the Ditko Spiders Man and have moved on to the Romita era. Lord save me from Stan Lee writing 'hip' slang.

Damn, I'm jealous, DH makes some really good stuff. I'm not a huge fan of the 60 or 90; they both taste kinda one-note to me. I've only had 120 once, and I drank it straight out of the bottle when I was already hammered so I'm probably on some kind of beer watchlist for that.
