Miz's dad is Zap Rowsdower?

Hey, AMC's got "Low Winter Sun," they'll be fine.

Am I gonna have to do this one mission literally 5,000,000 times before I figure out the simple act of driving a damn car? Can't they just let me drive a car around a big, empty parking lot like when I was trying to learn to drive a real car before they make me try to keep up with people when every correct steer is a minor miracle? I should start a Twitter: "Old Man Plays Grand Theft Auto V, Bitches a Lot About It."

Cena should come back and save the day, then Bryan should stab him in the back, say "I never liked you" and start his heel run. Actually, betcha Cena's tied up with Undertaker at Wrestlemania, where Bryan will get his big win over the corporation. Their paths will cross later. Then my scenario.

Try waiting while your stomach's going batshit from some Taco Bell that's gone rogue. I'm almost 45 years old and have never bought anything at midnight the day it went on sale. I stood in a line with a bunch of doods 20 years younger than me. I could hear them whispering, but I couldn't tell what they were saying. However, I still was convinced they were asking each other "what's that old dood doing here?"

Santa shows up in articles a lot around Christmas time, of course. She writes tons of articles about charities in town having drives to ensure poor kids have a Christmas.

She spells "Santa Claus" with an e at the end of "Claus" like the movie. She writes for a living and can't spell "Santa Claus." Been doing this for 13 years, still does it. I really don't like my job, but I can't see caring so little about it that you don't improve at it. I still feel like I learn something new every day.

I'm sure there's something interesting in here, but the god awful grammar makes it such a chore to read. How is it possible that Dave could write the Observer for all this time and yet be such an incredibly shitty writer? He doesn't have to improve - no one's on his ass to make him improve, he's his own boss. He could've probably learned something had he been paying attention during the time when he wrote for The National Sports Daily, 'cause they probably had some pretty good copy editors putting his stuff through a wringer. I've been working at the same newspaper for 13 years now, and we have one writer who was there when I got there who hasn't improved not one single, solitary whit since I got there 13 years ago. How do you do something for 13 years and not get better at it? She makes the same stupid mistakes now that she made way back when. All she has to do is keep a copy of her unedited stuff, then compare it to the edited version, then work on those weaknesses. But why should she? No one in management is making her, no one cares. It's more work for the editors, but screw us, who cares about us?

I think the whole "saving Jesse" thing depends on whether or not you're a member of Team Walt. I was firmly in that camp until Sunday night, but now it wouldn't surprise me to see Walt cowboy up and take on the Aryans just to get his damn money back with zero concern about Jesse.

Yeah, it's not like the men don't get tatted up everytime the wind blows. So she got a tattoo celebrating winning a worked wrestling title. CM Punk got a tattoo 'cause he likes Pepsi. I think the whole thing's a double standard, but what isn't?

Some faces are so over they can be a dick and people love them more for it. Like when the Rock used to slap poor Hermie around - if a heel did that, most folks would be like "sumbitch!" but since it's the Rock and he was so good at it, it was "get 'em, Rock!" Hermie's outlasted them all - take that, J.R.

I didn't really get Meltzer's point about AJ being such a mark when he's such pals with Bret Hart, the King of All Marks for Himself. He was making fun of AJ for being so excited to hold a title held by such "greats" as Kelly Kelly, but it's the only title AJ can win. She can't help it if the booking's been crap. It was just a little too condescending for no real good reason.

What's weird is I gave up on Red Dead Redemption very early because I kept getting killed at the same place in a mission, the second part, but instead of returning me back to that part to try again, it made me completely restart the mission by having to go to the sheriff's office, going through the dialogue, riding up to wherever the mission would start and getting through the first part of the mission only to get killed in the second part of the mission and have to go through all the crap of riding up to the sheriff's office, etc., all over again. It wasn't worth it. I loved "Bioshock: Infinite," but if I put it on Medium, I could not survive a single fight. So I put it on Easy, and finished the game in two days. There was no "sweet spot" in between.

"More people may watch WWE, but then again, more people like Myley Cyrus than Emmylou Harris. These men are by gawd ath-a-letes, not sports entertainers!" If it's so wrong to wanna see angry, bitter J.R. treat Impact like a two-hour YouShoot against Vince and the WWE, I don't wanna be right.

kind of makes me think the whole thing is a work. Anyone else getting that feeling. Also, having thought about it for a day now, if it's not a work, what a hilariously shitty thing to fire a guy who has been nothing but a company man for two decades over. And then it's double shitty to tell the guy who got fired he earned his time off. All the more reason for JR to go to work for TNA and use it to wage a personal war against the WWE.

So, I haven't played a Grand Theft Auto game since the one for the PlayStation or PlayStation II (I forget) where you had to shuffle 15 prostitutes around town in 10 seconds, and I could never get even remotely close to doing that, so I gave up on the game. I've always found the cars impossible to drive in a decent manner. I nearly bought Saints Row 4 last night (have played it before due to a Redbox rental) but didn't. Something now tells me if I'm gonna be spending $60 on a game, it should probably be Grand Theft Auto V because this looks huge and badass. Still worried I'm too much of a "THIS IS TOO HARD!" weenie.

Odenkirk was on The Daily Show tonight with David Cross, and I didn't recognize him without Saul's stringy combover. The prequel would seem kinda weird without Huell and Kuby.

I know he'd never do it and it's a horrible idea, but I'd love to see J.R. show up as the announcer for TNA in full Joey Styles in ECW mode: "This is real-deal by-gawd wrestling right here, not like that shit you see in Stamford. This is the future of our great sport we're seein' here, not that same ol' crap they're peddlin' up north!"

An old friend of mine from college is so hyooge into this stuff that he travels on his own dime to announce for tons of teams and never gets paid a lick. He probably puts in more time helping the local team than he does his own job. He's gonna be announcing at the Richmond Playoff, for free, traveling on his own dime. I like the guy, but, man, talk about a derby mark. Give me match races and people flying over guard rails and evil coaches any day.

I'm listening to "Bivouac" right now on Spotify (I know, I know) on your recommendation, and it's pretty decent - something about the vocals and the delivery reminds me of a punked-up Replacements (laughed when I read a music writer made the same comparison in the band's Wikipedia page). The drummer is really good. Dunno that I'd call them the best band of the 90s, but they're definitely a pleasant discovery.

It's the start of a Chikara invasion of WWE! I just hope this invasion won't require us to travel to Canada to retrieve a secret VHS tape in order to understand what the hell's going on. Nah, just download my 142-page PDF.

She's not quite up to Wendy's girl level, but she ain't nothin' to sneeze at, either: http://youtu.be/P6B2tKMg3B8

It really is. I'm not completely through it, but he's not afraid to tell it like he sees it or burn a bridge or two. Hope he's saved well, 'cause he's highly unlikely to ever be employed again in any capacity by WWE or TNA. Actually, I just noticed he's still on the WWE alumni page. He doesn't really have a bad word to say about Vince McMahon, but couldn't care less about HHH.

I noticed Luger's book was available on Kindle.
