Well, my plans of getting high and watching wrestling all afternoon have been thwarted by shitty weather. Illinois/Vandy super regional game moved up three hours because of an incoming storm. Glad that new chick texted me about it or I might not have found out. I never check the email I used to buy the tickets.
The character beats are fun but it doesn't have the same "can't stop watching" effect the others have had. The lack of a central crime is just messing with the formula.
It's a weird episode for sure, but it sets up the great Ep 3 of that season.
There's kind of a main crime in Sign of Three, but it's weird and even after having seen the episode like 15 times I'm still not exactly sure how Sherlock even solves it.
Yesterday morning I reached my hand into the bin of dog bones and wrapped my fingers around a dead mouse. Everything is terrible now and life isn't really worth it.
My mom just sent me a "Youre better than this" message on FB regarding my sometimes salty language on posts. On the one hand, I get where she's coming from and I love my mom dearly. On the other hand...sometimes swearing is the appropriate word choice for the moment.
Meltzer short-changed a lot of WWE matches from 1997 to 2011: Foley vs. HHH, Austin vs HHH, Austin vs Rock, Benoit/Angle vs Edge/Rey, Benoit vs Angle, Angle vs HBK, Benoit vs HHH vs HBK, and HBK vs Undertaker all had legit claims of being 5 stars.
I don't swear around my elders, but Im 29 and I should be able to say "dick" or "shit" on my own goddamn Facebook, pal! It's also not like I punctuate every other word with "fuck", I try to keep it a little reined in because a lot of my relatives are FB friends.
But sometimes, swearing is an appropriate adjective.
Finished Episode II this morning. Holy shit, what a clusterfuck of a movie.
They followed up the really good two on one lightsaber fight between Qui-Gonn, Ob-Wan and Darth Maul with that abortion. Here's a stunt double with Christopher Lee's head CGI'd on going against Obi-Wan, Anakin with two lightsabers for about two seconds before cutting his arm off, and Yoda bouncing around like a pinball machine.
Holy hell CGI. This movie is filled with it. Nothing looks real. And the dialogue? Lucas was trying for Shakespeare and he wrote some shit that would even make the writers of Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey shake their heads in shame.
The only really great scenes in the movie are Anakin finding his mother, her dying in his arms, and him going postal on the Sand People right after, and Obi-Wan's fight with Jango Fett.
I'm leaving for Europe for 6 weeks this evening, but part of me is like "No PS4, Netflix and WWE Network while drinking beer on the couch is gonna suck"
The prequels would have been so much better, even with the same actors, had someone been allowed to edit Lucas' dialogue. The shit he wrote was so corny, so trite, that no credible actor could have pulled it off. The same lines, with some editing and some DIRECTION as to how they should be delivered, would have made a world of difference.
I lost a couple of Christian friends on Facebook when I described Jesus as a long haired hippie with a God-complex (Not a Facebook post, this was a personal conversation).
Just realized that you can block specific posts for specific people. I think down the road, I'll block her out from any post where I'm feeling a little Lewis Black
Too much plot crammed into 3 movies. The whole Senate shit, the creation of the Clones, the Clone Wars, the hidden Sith, Anakin/Palpatine.....Lucas didn't know how to simplify.
It's one of my all-time favs - It has everything - religion, politics, nudity, sex, lesbianism and an over the top Pacino leading a clueless Keanu Reeves thorughout.
First SW movies in 16 years and that pops up in the SCROLL.
What a complete 180 from A New Hope, which opens with "bad guys chasing Princess with plans to bring them down" which screams adventure. Taxation and negotiations...that's more like C-SPAN
We're in this weird period where parents and sometimes grandparents are on Facebook now. It's changing what its there for and kind of making it less fun and necessary.
The first time it felt like FB changed for the worst was when they dropped the college email address requirement. Suddenly it was flooded with high school students, then their parents.
I never accepted my mom's request. I felt guilty for awhile after she passed away in 2013, but I just couldn't be myself on FB if I had to censor myself for her.
It's a shame, because Hayden became defined from these two movies, where his performance was TERRIBLE, and this guy was a former Golden Globe winner, and was amazing in Shattered Glass.
I think Ewan McGregor or Natalie Portman said that Lucas would barely do retakes, and even when they thought the lines came out bad, Lucas was saying it was fine and wanted to move on.
Over the Edge was unfortunate as that Billy is a heel now and thus all of the things hes good at are removed. No hot tags, no comebacks. No Gunn-ins to save Mankind. Such a mind-bottling choice to turn him heel.
It rained Fri & Sat so it triggered a weed explosion in the front of my house. I hate landscaping so much. I already told the wife once the pets check out of this life, we're getting a condo.
My front yard looks ok, but the back yard has been a work in progress for 4 summers now and this year I've yet to get to it so it's just awful. I'm actually really not looking forward to this. Hence blogging.
Böners.
ReplyDeleteDogfight with Jay Thomas in BoD Fantasy baseball league action today. It's going down to the wire. A couple of categories up for grabs today.
ReplyDelete"Whatever it is, put it in here."
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said
There was a really fucking great UFC show last night. I highly advise downloading it.
ReplyDeleteSo you see what I did there then.
ReplyDeleteWhat time is it there?
ReplyDeleteTea time, always.
ReplyDeleteYeah, your sister told me she's glad you did
ReplyDeleteWhich one?
ReplyDeleteTaken three days to get through The Aviator, it's a really good movie but holy hell is it looooooong
ReplyDeleteAll the holes
ReplyDeleteI meant which sister?
ReplyDeleteThere's F1 on NBC at 2.
ReplyDelete"holy hell is itlooooooong"
ReplyDeleteThat's what they said
It's 6:50pm!

That's what she said
ReplyDeleteSHELTON IS THIS GOOD
ReplyDeleteHow come you're never is night threads? It's doable
ReplyDeleteAh. The oldest one then. So you had to wait your turn then.
ReplyDeleteLegit LOL
ReplyDeleteI did them during the Christmas period when I got two weeks off work! I'll likely hang out in the night threads again during Christmas this year
ReplyDeleteThat was a good time.
ReplyDeleteBuying it.
ReplyDeleteOh, Tater
ReplyDeleteTIL that Tater is night thread Santa, only coming around one timeandtherani a year
ReplyDeleteComing up with witty retire can be really hard
ReplyDeleteDefinitely *not* what she said
ReplyDeleteRoughly 18 hours after drunk bouncy housing I now feel like a broken man. My knees and ankles are so goddamn sore this morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how quickly non-fans turn into pro wrestlers though when you give them a keg and a bouncy house.
That's what the talking taco said

ReplyDeleteI can't wait! Christmas is such an underrated time of year.
ReplyDeleteThat's what my grandma said
ReplyDeleteEh. Weak attempt. You had a slam and settled for a layup
ReplyDeleteToo early in the morning for a Alexandria DaDDario jiggle clip?

That's what I'm watching.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you know? You're a taco
ReplyDelete"The Sign of Three" is the first Sherlock episode that has felt like its dragging.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the wedding episode? That episode is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBut purely as a character study, the "action" isn't that great.
The character beats are fun but it doesn't have the same "can't stop watching" effect the others have had. The lack of a central crime is just messing with the formula.
ReplyDelete"Whatever it is, put it in here."
ReplyDeletehttp://www.troll.me/images/brick-tamland/hahaha-thats-what-she-said.jpg
Is there a bad storm coming through the area?
ReplyDeleteIt's a weird episode for sure, but it sets up the great Ep 3 of that season.
ReplyDeleteThere's kind of a main crime in Sign of Three, but it's weird and even after having seen the episode like 15 times I'm still not exactly sure how Sherlock even solves it.
TIL everyone here is 11 years old.
ReplyDeleteWow, if only I had made that comment as the 2nd comment in the thread
ReplyDelete@Shelton Benjamin rich media posts work better. Up your game.
ReplyDeleteLook below.
ReplyDeleteSupposed to be some severe thunderstorms tonight, I think.
ReplyDeleteYIL bears can run on two legs and shoot basketballs. The world is a weird place.

Yesterday's lesson was: Just because people don't have mod flair on their names doesn't mean they can't ban you lol.
ReplyDeleteWho got banned?
ReplyDeleteWho got banned
ReplyDeleteWhy was everyone so avoidant about talking about it when we asked?
ReplyDeleteI would've thought I proved that with Danimal.
ReplyDeleteGroceries? Done. Time playing Witcher? Done. Pizza? Got it. Time for White Sox baseball!
ReplyDeleteUnderskill started fucking with Ferrari, not realizing Ferrari has mod powers.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to watch it live so I'm not sure what he said exactly, but Ferrari had had enough.
I don't understand this reference.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see what happened, I have no idea
ReplyDeleteBut no time for me, apparently
ReplyDeleteAGAIN
He called him a fat piece of shit or something, then went and changed his profile picture to an actual picture of Ferrari.
ReplyDeleteAt least someone is excited for white sox baseball.
ReplyDeleteIt took a few of us asking a few times
ReplyDeleteShelton Benjamin used to be known as JoeQPoster
ReplyDeleteAnd that's the goof really, because he never ever fucks with mods. He just picked the wrong guy thinking he was safe.
ReplyDeleteExtant told me about it in the super secret BoD platinum elite level secret group and I told him how to use BoD superpowers to ban people.
ReplyDeleteVery beginning yeah
ReplyDeleteI did a few Qbert posts at first
What's up, you good looking bastard?
ReplyDeleteWell, whoever was responsible, this place just got a lot more pleasant for me, so thanks.
ReplyDelete???
ReplyDeleteThen when Vince mistook me for me, I realized who we were
ReplyDeleteI never saw why he bothered people so much, but that is over the line IMO.
ReplyDeleteI'm back after a long weekend. What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteeetet
ReplyDeleteActively wishing my kid was born retarded kind of soured me on him lol
ReplyDeleteAre you supposed to be a girl?
ReplyDeleteLOL! That is the most popular thing I have ever posted on FB.

You never answered by question...have you ever heard of kodi?
ReplyDeleteThat is an unnecessarily rude greeting.
ReplyDeleteWith yellow feathers in her hair?
ReplyDeleteJust got done with a bunch of yard work here in hot ass Texas. Now it's time for some ice cream.
ReplyDeleteOther than Souled Out 98 vs Flair and the Owen tribute match with Benoit, are there any Bret WCW matches worth watching?
ReplyDeleteLivewatch of Over the Edge 99!
ReplyDeleteNot really, no.
ReplyDeleteDecent match with Booker T.
ReplyDeleteSorry didn't see that. Yes I have but I haven't done much research into it.
ReplyDeleteKodi2012
ReplyDeleteMelted ice cream. I've been in Texas long enough to know that you don't do anything outside after 11 AM.
ReplyDeleteChances are it isn't legal, but it has a lot.
ReplyDeleteI missed that... that's not great either.
ReplyDeleteHow weird are those bots? They have to post something random....then they immediately edit it to their advertisement.
ReplyDeleteI guess maybe if they just c/p'd the ad Disqus would catch it maybe?
^Better poster than Abeyance
ReplyDeleteYou know, you're right. Working from home will allow me to earn at least FUCK IT YOU'RE BANNED!
ReplyDeleteMy mom just sent me a "Youre better than this" message on FB regarding my sometimes salty language on posts. On the one hand, I get where she's coming from and I love my mom dearly. On the other hand...sometimes swearing is the appropriate word choice for the moment.

ReplyDelete:: Curbstomps you ::
ReplyDeleteYour mother told me to do that.
I sometimes swear also. I have my mother, aunts, uncles and devout Christians as friends. I think I may have lost a friend or two because of it.
ReplyDeleteBlue Bell ice cream needs to come back. I'll take my chances with Listeria.
ReplyDeleteJR: "WHY?!?!?! TELL ME WHY DAMMIT!!!"
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm forgetting another one too.
ReplyDeleteI'd ask her but she can't answer at the moment IFYAKNOEWUTIMEAN
ReplyDeleteThe whole thing is a shame. However, the people who stood outside the factory with a candlelight vigil are ridiculous.
ReplyDelete<<< Nearly unfriended you due to it!
ReplyDelete"Youre better than this"
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said. But really though.
Because I'm always behind the times - Watched Breaking Bad Season 1 - Have a feeling it's going to get really good moving forward.
ReplyDeleteI don't swear around my elders, but Im 29 and I should be able to say "dick" or "shit" on my own goddamn Facebook, pal! It's also not like I punctuate every other word with "fuck", I try to keep it a little reined in because a lot of my relatives are FB friends.

Think of that next time you swear... you could be denied access to the status of my hair!
ReplyDeleteFUCK NO!
ReplyDeleteIt's a decent show, highly overrated though.
ReplyDeleteIt's basically one actor doing amazing amazing things with a terrible script and storyline.
The real fail is having your mom as FB friend
ReplyDeleteI'm leaving for Europe for 6 weeks this evening, but part of me is like "No PS4, Netflix and WWE Network while drinking beer on the couch is gonna suck"
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones.
ReplyDeleteIt depends. Which part of Europe?
ReplyDeleteSucks!
ReplyDeleteI had zero problems accessing Netflix over there.
ReplyDeleteSpain, France, Holland, Italy and Greeve.
ReplyDeleteI would have responded with " "Youre"? You*'*re better than this!"
ReplyDeleteMAMA BENJAMIN DISAGREES, SHELTON, NOW CALL HER UP AND APOLOGIZE DAMMIT
ReplyDeleteTonight's episode 9, which means some shit is going down.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun.
ReplyDeleteLots of boring talking is what's going down.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be, I just really enjoy being lazy sometimes!
ReplyDeleteLike Al Pacino - Carrying at least three movies on his shoulders - Scent Of A Woman, Devil's Advocate & Simone. I can appreicate that.
ReplyDeleteI doubt it will be, but it's more I'll likely be too busy to get any time to do so.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.buzzfeed.com/davidmack/texas-police-officer-suspended-after-pulling-weapon-on-teens#.gj4ZG9WoE
ReplyDeleteNever change Texas.
I agree with those two scenes being the lone bright spots in an otherwise turd bucket of a movie
ReplyDeleteI thought she was with you
ReplyDeleteThat's a poor description of breaking bad.
ReplyDeleteThe prequels would have been so much better, even with the same actors, had someone been allowed to edit Lucas' dialogue. The shit he wrote was so corny, so trite, that no credible actor could have pulled it off. The same lines, with some editing and some DIRECTION as to how they should be delivered, would have made a world of difference.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazeballs through and through. Unlike most shows, it doesn't have a dip in quality where you're like "Season [X] was way better"
ReplyDeleteMy mother got on me for a post I made a couple of years ago. I just started to block my status from her.
ReplyDeleteAttack of the Clones is so much worse than Menace.
ReplyDeleteI lost a couple of Christian friends on Facebook when I described Jesus as a long haired hippie with a God-complex (Not a Facebook post, this was a personal conversation).
ReplyDeleteJust realized that you can block specific posts for specific people. I think down the road, I'll block her out from any post where I'm feeling a little Lewis Black
ReplyDelete"The only afternoon sports action is MLB."
ReplyDeleteAside from the World Cup and the Sprint Cup race at Pocono. But other than that, yeah.
He did carry Devil's Advocate - the coolest devil ever, covering up an idiotic storyline.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only SW film I can call unequivocally awful. At least Phantom and Sith have their merits
ReplyDeleteRacing is not a sport.
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Texas a little over two years and am pretty happy here. However, some of the people are a bit, uh, interesting.
ReplyDeleteToo much plot crammed into 3 movies. The whole Senate shit, the creation of the Clones, the Clone Wars, the hidden Sith, Anakin/Palpatine.....Lucas didn't know how to simplify.
ReplyDeleteWomens World Cup and NASCAR. Don't think a lot of us will be paying attention to those.
ReplyDeleteThe first battle of the clone wars is pretty great tho. Everything else in Clones is awful.
ReplyDelete1000 left turns can be very exciting.
ReplyDeleteJust realized that my mom just basically pulled a Cap-like "Language!" to me. Heh.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my all-time favs - It has everything - religion, politics, nudity, sex, lesbianism and an over the top Pacino leading a clueless Keanu Reeves thorughout.
ReplyDeleteReeves is terrible in it. "I don't lose!"
ReplyDeleteHHH vs Rock, Ironman
ReplyDeleteYou know what I never asked for in a Star Wars plot? Taxation of trade routes.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Truth.
ReplyDeleteThat's why you never accept your mom's friend request on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteThis.
ReplyDeleteI'd argue that each season turns out to be better than the last.
Love his 'accent'.
ReplyDeleteFirst SW movies in 16 years and that pops up in the SCROLL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a complete 180 from A New Hope, which opens with "bad guys chasing Princess with plans to bring them down" which screams adventure. Taxation and negotiations...that's more like C-SPAN
We're in this weird period where parents and sometimes grandparents are on Facebook now. It's changing what its there for and kind of making it less fun and necessary.
ReplyDeleteBut that means all my posts get at least 1 Like! No one wants a status update where no one even clicks the b(^_^)
ReplyDeleteThat's a difficult sentence to unravel, Kole of Harlem Heat.
ReplyDeleteHey, hey, hey! They only have three left turns to make today, not four!
ReplyDelete#Different.
Incorrect.
ReplyDeleteThe first time it felt like FB changed for the worst was when they dropped the college email address requirement. Suddenly it was flooded with high school students, then their parents.
ReplyDeleteA sport is an athletic competion. Racing a car doesn't acquire athleticism.
ReplyDeleteI never accepted my mom's request. I felt guilty for awhile after she passed away in 2013, but I just couldn't be myself on FB if I had to censor myself for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to let this ignorance stand, because you obviously have no idea what the Hell you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteThey're making a left turn!
ReplyDeleteRacing a car isn't a sport. Sorry?
ReplyDeleteYou obviously didn't see last week's episode. And talking =/= boring. It's a character-driven drama, and the leads are all excellent actors.
ReplyDeleteI question your taste.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame, because Hayden became defined from these two movies, where his performance was TERRIBLE, and this guy was a former Golden Globe winner, and was amazing in Shattered Glass.
ReplyDeleteI think Ewan McGregor or Natalie Portman said that Lucas would barely do retakes, and even when they thought the lines came out bad, Lucas was saying it was fine and wanted to move on.
Speaking of sports, why does Jim Cornette always call wrestling a sport? He has a lot of "it's still real to me, dammit!" in him.
ReplyDeleteTime for King of the Ring 99! It's Billy Time!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe same reason people refer to gymnastics as a sport?
ReplyDeleteOh hell yeah, I'm jumping in on that after lunch
ReplyDeleteI'm being sarcastic. I haven't watch the show since season 2. Needless to say, it did bore me a bit.
ReplyDeleteWhen he wakes up everyone morning with no knees....it probably is pretty real to him.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies, Ken Griffey, Jr.
ReplyDeleteYou missed a lot of good shit since season 2 then.
ReplyDeleteOver the Edge was unfortunate as that Billy is a heel now and thus all of the things hes good at are removed. No hot tags, no comebacks. No Gunn-ins to save Mankind. Such a mind-bottling choice to turn him heel.
ReplyDeleteGymnastics is more a sport than wrestling
ReplyDeleteDoing yard work. Got my weed whacker running. Now going to whack some weeds.
ReplyDeleteIt's a jungle out there.
Unfortunately, the Sand People scene is followed up with the most cringeworthy Anakin monologue in history.

ReplyDeleteVal Venis was a great character.
ReplyDeleteWhen he flipped out on Davey Boy Smith during SS97, I thought it was a legit shoot.
ReplyDeleteIt requires strength, stamina and, strategy. That's close enough.
ReplyDeleteHim and Vader flipping out at each other WAS a legit shoot!
ReplyDeleteMy front yard looks ok, but the back yard has been a work in progress for 4 summers now and this year I've yet to get to it so it's just awful. I'm actually really not looking forward to this. Hence blogging.
ReplyDeleteMy mom used to do that, but now she seemingly accepts that I say the work "fuck" a lot and take her lord's name in vain.
ReplyDeleteVader wanted to get beat up by another guy in sandals.
