though I could do without “army”, and ‘blog’ is getting old, I’m down with the rest

I had this Tilt rant (that somehow went into a Sports Guy parody) and it’s gone gone gone. Consider yourself blessed. Spam Assassin was killing all my e-mail and returning it to sender previously; I’ve been told it’s fixed, and it’s on right now – so if you send me an e-mail and get a … Continue reading “though I could do without “army”, and ‘blog’ is getting old, I’m down with the rest”

I had this Tilt rant (that somehow went into a Sports Guy parody) and it’s gone gone gone. Consider yourself blessed.

Spam Assassin was killing all my e-mail and returning it to sender previously; I’ve been told it’s fixed, and it’s on right now – so if you send me an e-mail and get a return, let me know that it’s not fixed. (My test e-mails got thru okay.)

Now: new add at the very earliest stage. Well, if I’m supposed to be a Cubs Blog, I guess I should try to look the part, but I think I might have hit the red line on the hokie meter. The mound is just off the screen, trust me; I’m no Brian Gleine, but I’ll give you effort.

My plan for this year: figure out a point for my Cubs rantings. Because most of the stuff I usually say end up on a Cub related board/site where my chances of being read/replied to go up about 20%, and I find even the odd insightful thought I have is on another site before I can get around to it.

I don’t want to do something someone else has done. And figuring out What Else Can Be Done (comped with What Else Am I Willing To Do) is always the tricky part. I want to add something – I just don’t know what.

more bad ideas

RAW time line: it goes without saying that I should be working now, but… Left to right this way, like an actual timeline! Again, we start at the beginning of this current era (WWE title split) to today. Small lines indicate 3 months, big lines mean the end of a year. Wide open blank spaces … Continue reading “more bad ideas”

RAW time line:

it goes without saying that I should be working now, but…

Left to right this way, like an actual timeline! Again, we start at the beginning of this current era (WWE title split) to today. Small lines indicate 3 months, big lines mean the end of a year. Wide open blank spaces mean the title was vacated at the time.

It goes, top down, World Heavyweight, IC, Tag, and Women. The same colors from the three male titles should match up to the same people – Randy Orton Pink in IC is the same as Randy Orton Pink for the World Title – except the Women’s Championship is it’s own seperated color scheme. Tag team line is two colors, one for each holder, except La Resistance gets one color instead of three because I was running low. Some of the color differences are subtle and changing it from a BMP to a GIF didn’t help anything.

I should post the Color Chart, but I’d like someway better than printscreening Excel.

SD? Maybe.

2004 is so last year

Finally: Best of Velocity is done. Best of Heat was updated and edited and bonused in prepartion of reusing this over on OO. (The graphs are SO next, whenever I make a WWE-only one for Hobbes’ sanity.) This week sucks for free time for nutty web related activites all the sudden, (so if I have … Continue reading “2004 is so last year”

This week sucks for free time for nutty web related activites all the sudden, (so if I have a sparsely filled out award thing, winners may be announced, say, live at the ELL-MEX show for anyone there who cares.) So that’s why I’m working on this at 1 am and will do a CMLLBlog when I’m really really tired.

Went the Bulls game. Bulls rule. So weird. NOCH. (rhymes with COACH).

I don’t know what your problem is, Scott, but the Blackhawks suck. No sane person should be rooting for them, unless their kid is on the team.

Edit:

I can’t explain this, but I need to get this idea out of my head or I won’t get back to sleep.

Instead of the pointless Night Of Champions, SD! totally should’ve done a Night Of Heavyweights and Cruiserweights Teaming TOgether to mix things up. 8 matches, 4 winning teams voted on by the fans for their favs, winning team gets their matches whenever.

Heavyweights get to choose their cruiserweight partners, which plays into things. Random order.

the point would be to have people who don’t normally interact to interact, and see if there’s any magic to be found. It’d be nice to use this as more attention to the guys who aren’t getting attention, but all I’d really be hoping for is maybe one pair to be used again down the road.

MATCHES

John Cena/Paul London (team Gameboys) vs Rene Dupree/Billy Kidman
(Cena and London have common interests! Rene and Billy can share fashion tips. London gets his big revenge win on major TV: Cena FU followed by a Firebird.)

JBL/Rey Mysterio vs RVD/Akio
(JBL gets an early pick and takes Rey just to screw over RVD and kiss up to the fans. In a shocking move, RVD picks fellow karate fighter Akio. Match probably should go last, and go horribly awry when Akio $ells Out!, having been bought off during the match by the Cabinet, and turns on RVD. Rey gets beat up after while trying to save.)

Eddie Guerrero/Chavo Guerrero vs Luther Reigns/Shannon Moore
(Resolution to the Guerrero breakup! Shannon Is A Face This Week, and doesn’t really get along with non-Team Angle, leading to Luther harshly blaming Shannon for the loss. In the process, someone calls Luther’s finisher ‘Reignfall’.)

Spike/Heidenreich vs the Big Show/Funaki
(Big Show loves the goofs! Spike is The Boss and Heidenreich listens to him because he’s The Boss! Lots of announcer nuttiness about how great Show/Heidenreich might be, but Funaki gets the sunset flip here he got anyway.)

Cena/London win fan support – London vs Kidman One Last Time, Cena open challenge for the US Title (Kenzo)
JBL/Rey win fan support – uh, no.
Eddie/Chavo win – Chavo vs Kidman One Last Time, Eddie/Booker vs RVD/Rey for tag titles
Big Show/Funaki win – Show vs JBL for the WWE Title (mass run ins to build to the RR triple threat), Funaki open challenge for the CW Title (Spike)

Neat? I dunno.
