$9 million plus, spent on Bolland, Versteeg and Byfuglien, seems crazy to me.

I really hope there's money left for Hjalmarsson. He's been terrific so far this year and only seems to be getting better. I'd let Barker go before Hammer, for sure.

Good deal! Now just figure something out for Keith and have Huet continue to look like an NHL #1 goalie and things are looking good!

The terrible Maple Leafs come to town tonight. If the Hawks don't drop 5 or 6 on them tonight, I will be disappointed.

It plays on cable access, and one of the UHF stations used to run it in the middle of the night on (I think) Saturday nights. Don't know if it airs anywhere these days. I liked his show because he played a lot of stuff you wouldn't really see too often anywhere else, and his interviews were usually pretty interesting.

I wanted to be normal. Didn't happen.

Ahhhh, more short-sighted over-reaction. Disney, etc., SHOULD be looking at classroom movie time as an advertisement for their s***. Unless they fear that kids are bringing in digital camcorders to bootleg movies, all this can do IMO is make some kids want to see it again, which leads to rentals or sales.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) I had a f***ed up dream involving a female co-worker flying an F-22, who proceeds to crash it. As a result of the crash she got decapitated but she was still alive, talking "oh this sucks" etc. So some other dude in the dream walks over to her disembodied head and steps on her neck to stop the bleeding (nevermind that if this happened, first off she'd be dead instantly and the blood would be spurting from her body, not her head). She rolls her eyes and says "oh, what a day." I was going to tell her about this dream the next day but it's too f***ing bizarre to share. Typical. She's the one sitting around yammering with the disembodied head and if you just happen to tell her about it, YOU'RE the weirdo!

That's what happens when the euphemism becomes better-known than the actual item.

Oh, who knows....could it be the DNA stains on all the walls and carpets?

I was never a fan of these guys, but I know a lot of people are, so I will share this news: The Jesus Lizard are playing Metro on New Year's Eve. Tickets go on sale this Saturday.

Even numbers are better. 7 of each animal = one of them ends up masturbating in the corner, unless one of the three females is a slut.

Lacey Von Erich is hot - let's just get that out of the way, because that and her last name are why she's employed - but she just gave Christy Hemme the single worst chokeslam I have ever seen. Laughably bad. Embarrassingly bad. wCw Thunder bad.

The Predators swarmed the Hawks net in the 1st period, and Huet looked fantastic turning away every shot.

Hmmmm......just wondering......has Brian Knobbs ever held a singles title?........

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 28, 2009 -> 05:53 PM) I hope this brings out the best in Vince like it did last time. This is the only possible good that can come of it. I think Vince will sit back at first and see if there's anything to be concerned about. I doubt there is - Hogan as head booker can only lead to crap. What a stupid move by Dixie.....if it's true that Hogan has the book. He's talked out his ass before.

So I went to the LoP forums to see how they're reacting to the Hogan/TNA news, and man, is it ever a Mark Party over there! Lots of little Hulkamaniacs just oozing to see their HERO elevate TNA to a world-class threat to Vince and The E. Some of them even seem to believe that Hogan's capable (and more laughably, willing) to put over the young guys. There's talk of Flair possibly following Hogan to TNA, so I can definitely see an nwOLD vs. Flair & The Kids feud. SMELL THE RATINGS.....

Now We're Older The thing is, you don't even have to have a singular focus if it's entertaining. You can sprinkle in old guys, tag matches, young prospects and a women's division (not that sloppy s*** Vince is pushing) if the storylines are cohesive and fun to watch. If I was running TNA, I'd have gassed Russo a long time ago, hired Bischoff as an on-air personality, and thrown all the Hogan money at Paul Heyman to be the head writer. This Hogan thing will flop, and flop HARD. I already read that he will have complete control over his character and related characters, and that spells doom. Seems like ever since Hogan decided not to kill himself, he now chose to kill another wrestling federation.
