The Critic

I'd go with Triple Threat Sports.

A lot of "cross-breeding" lately - another WSI thread finds its way to Soxtalk. DAMN, they're clever over there....

QUOTE(Yoda @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) Here it is folks. I have here all of the songs that you Soxtalker’s have chosen as your 2 favorite classic rock songs.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) I don't have a problem... YAY INSIDE WRESTLING JOKES~! Don't break kayfabe or you'll get backstage heat with the bookers, and you'll be depushed to being a curtain jerker or worse, jobbing in dark matches with Dusty finishes... What? Too INSIDE????

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 10:09 AM) Sorry, I was hanging out with Jake Roberts before typing that.... Go directly to rehab, then.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 09:43 AM) I don't understand, does that mean I'll have to pay for my Yahoo! accounts? Or are they giving businesses a chance to pay for an EZpass through the spam filter? Seems to me that there will be a "basic" and a "premium" email service. Basic = loaded to the gills with ads Premium = gimme money

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 09:45 AM) Sisqo's Thong Song was from 1999. Breathe easier, our decade just got better. Less suck does not = no suck. I'm sure we wouldn't have to think very hard to come up with a "suitable" replacement for the Thong Song.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 08:18 AM) Glad I have Gmail then. I'm guessing they'll do it too, if people take to it from Yahoo and AOL.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 09:19 AM) Jack Black is hilarious in non main stream films and ND was a hilarious movie. I respect your opinion but disagree on both points. Comedy is very subjective, though - what's funny to one person can bore the next guy to death. I can't imagine any scenario that would lead to my seeing this movie, but if you go to see it I hope you enjoy it.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 05:57 PM) This is a funny thread. For someone like myself, who has seen damn near every wrestling show since I was a kid, it's interesting to read the thoughts of people who used to watch it, or people who sometimes catch it. Lot of weird comments. WOW, since you were a KID???? FIVE WHOLE YEARS????

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) I heard a good one tonight. More "contemporary" like the '84 Monte Carlo is to muscle cars. "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Bad Reputation >>>>>> I Love Rock N Roll

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 6, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) By my calculations, My Humps is the 3rd greatest song of this decade, behind only Kelis' Milkshake and Sisqo's Thong Song. Then we have 4 years to avoid the dubious title of Worst Musical Decade In The History Of The World.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) link? I don't know if it would matter if I linked it, you'd need a WSI account to access/download the pics anyway.

The nominees are: Rascal Flatts "Bless The Broken Road" Bruce Sprinsteen "Devils & Dust" John Legend "Ordinary People" U2 "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" Mariah Carey "We Belong Together" ( by the way, about the nominees..... :puke ) I don't think he was being ironic. Here's his comment: "Yes, it was a guilty pleasure, but the emphasis is on the pleasure."

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) Im willing to give Lashley a little rope right now, he is still really raw and new. His in ring presence is pretty good, but some guys take a little while to get the microphone part of the job down pat. And some guys NEVER get it. A lot of guys never get it. I think good managers like Cornette and Heyman can really help guys get over who are missing the mic skills. The manager is a dying breed - Daivari could be a good one, I think, if he drops the screaming in Arabic ( which he seems to have done already ).

In today's paper he talks about the Grammys. His "sadly overlooked" choice for Song Of The Year? "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas. :puke Nothing he can say holds any weight with me anymore.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 09:28 AM) hard to imagine he is the spawn of rocket scientists... I'm thinking that the script was "written" by a team of circus monkeys throwing their own s*** at a wall with random words and phrases written on it. Whatever the s*** hits gets used. "Okay, Bongo....THROW!!!.....(plop)......"Mexican wrestler"......GREAT!!!....okay, Tiny....THROW!!!....(plop)....."Jack Black".....this movie's gonna be AWESOME!!!"

I like the Hawks postgame people saying that "Nashville NEEDED this game because Detroit won earlier today". Yeah, THAT's why they put up a half-dozen.... :rolly

Alcohol can be your friend, or it can be your enemy....

They may not contend, but they will be a pest. They'll definitely have a hand in deciding who DOES take the Central.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 04:27 PM) Jim Thome: 1st: 1 AB 2nd: 11 AB 3rd: 963 AB 4th: 1853 AB 5th: 1490 AB 6th: 720 AB 7th: 512 AB 8th: 333 AB 9th: 35 AB Guess he didn't work out in the leadoff role....

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 5, 2006 -> 08:32 AM) Wow, it stars a guy who is obnoxious not funny and was directed by a guy who made a film that is not funny. Has MTV movie awards written all over it. I only wonder how many billions of dollars it will make on opening weekend? Agree on all points. I will NOT fail to miss this film.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) Lashley better learn some ring psychology and how to sell. I'd recommend watching Brock Lesnar matches from 2002 and 2003. Taking some acting classes to help his promos wouldn't hurt either. Monty Brown (TNA) >> Lashley

The guy who did that has a bunch of them on a thread on WSI. The "Goin' Down To Sox Park" one is my favorite.

The Unwanted Goalie Returns!! He better not unpack ALL his bags, cuz ya never know....
