So much Duckett!

And seriously, we need to discuss Running Scared.

Yeah man. Are you busy/tied down this Sunday? Mindbender and Zandar are coming up for Summerslam. It'll just be you guys, me, and Stef, most likely. We can discuss Running Scared to all hell there, or if that don't work I can drunkenly spew about it through a mouthful of Ramen on Thursday evening.

And if you're not down with that, I got just two words for ya...

D*CK ETT

Nice....

Very solid all-around. I might be more inclined to go with Rivers. You have depth at backs and TE, so you'll be good there. I don't know how Randleel will handle his new digs. Coles has no QB, but he's the only receiver the Jets have, so he should get a lot of catches.

I agree with Mr. Leo 'cause I don't like Mr. Vick as a QB. I'm sorry...I have no faith in him and/or his fantasy potential this year. At the same time, Mr. Rivers is a newbie and could be easily intimidated.

Icky QBs aside, nice picks! Only 3 Steelers as apposed to 500 this year!

No offense to you and your wrestling cohorts, but I've had enough of listening to Stev and Ryan talk about wrestling and feeling not only left out of the loop, but semi bored and annoyed at having to sit quietly during something that means nothing to me.

Also, Sunday is the Roast of one William Shatner. That will be worlds better than any Summer Slam could ever be.

So a drunken chat about Running Scared sounds ideal. Although tonight at midnight is Snakes on a Plane. So I won't be available till late night. But I should also be drunk.

Aww Tsikitas! You should come anyway! You have a hat! We love hats! And your hat is fun and interesting, despite that fact that, to you, we aren't!

PLUS, you could always Tivo the roast, AND you know they'll show it a million times more in rerun fantasticness! AND the crotch chopping insanity is ALWAYS a reason to be around! Come on! Hink on that guero!

P.S. WOOT SNAKES ON A PLANE!

The idea of a William Shatner roast sounds good, but itll most likely suck.

The purpose of a roast is to have your friends in the industry point out your foibles in a public forum. Instead, Comedy Central doles out mostly shitty comedians who are meeting Shatner for the first time....

...and I'm gonna try to avoid it so I don't have to endure even two seconds of Lisa Lamponelly's routine.

Three more things.

1. I'm poor and dont have ANY money for food or bev and dont want to mooch anymore from anyone.

2. I think you are all very interesting, seeing that you are all in love with Wrestling more than anyone ever. Even my friends when they were 8 and it was socially acceptable.

3. I start a job the next day at 8 so even IF I had money, or I mooched, I wouldn't want to be out late when I have to get up mad early to get to my first day of training on time.

So yes. Shatner is way better than any wrestling could possibly bode, even if the comedians are sub-par.

Enjoy without me. I'll be up for Football.

Whoa whoa whoa. When did "socially acceptable" become a prerequisite for any activity, hobby, obsession, or stalk victim?

That said, Sebastian Bludd, I understand your reasons. Enjoy your Sunday, and I will see you around come football. Remember, DOLPHINS. And that dolphins can s*ck it.

If only you saw back in 1997 when William Shatner punched Jerry Lawler on Raw.

I don't remember that, but I do remember Pete Rose in a chicken outfit getting tombstoned by Kane.

See, if they did stuff liek that now, maybe the rest of us would watch. Involve Dustin Diamond!!!!!

That's the goods.

Either Screech gets to be the next clown pwned by Sandman, or else they have a Screech vs. Joey Styles EXTREME RULES match.

I think they need to tap both Dustin Diamond AND Mario Lopez for this angle:

Mario Lopez debuts as AC Slater and wins a number of preliminary matches (beats Matt Striker, Rob Conway etc.) He catches the attention of Maria the Interviewer who he wants to take out for a milkshake at the Max. Unfortunately, Maria is already Kenny the Cheerleader's girl. Slater challenges Kenny to a match; the winner of course gets to date Maria. Kenny comes out with the other four memebers of the Spirit Squad. Slater only comes out with Dustin Diamond. Screech manages to keep the four cheerleaders at bay while Slater wins the right to take Maria out to the Max (TO THE MAX!).

(And yes, these late thirties actors WILL still be playing teenagers.)

FYI, since today is especially slow-moving and boring, John Cena's Five Questions segment on the website looked like some kinda Wheaties-and-Prayers promo for 8-year-olds, but I took a look and it was actually really funny.

THAT, and the footage of Shawn Michaels and the airplane incident. I'll probably watch that a few more times today.

Nice idea for Diamond. I would also consider throwing Zack Morris in there as Kenny's tag partner, possibly to do a face-turn at the end of the match.

Zack can call a time out, stop the entire show, come from behind and hink the guero behind Slater, unfreezes and AC has to sell it to prepie like no other. Hopefully into the turnbuckle so Screech can do his patented Geek Power Dive.

PS- Now that I am working and have down time (like now) feel free to send me emails and such so we can chat it up VIA 00100101010101010!

Yea...basically Kenny would be playing Zack Morris and Maria would be Kelly Kapowski.

12:59 PM  
Blogger Face of Spades said...

yeah, but Screech was always Zack's goon. I don't remember him ever having AC's back when it meant going against Zack. Except for the buddy bands episode.

BTW Bludd, the imagery of that scenario was hilarious. Notably Slater selling the hink.

Ah god what did i start... but then again, why aren't you guys writing for them??? stev??? maybe that'll be my next career move, i'll apply for a writing gig there, and then you guys will secretly help me come up with stuff and we can all pool the cash and live like kings.


KINGS!!!!

I'm actually planning on submitting a resume to them when I graduate; initially to work in their merchandising/product development department. But I'll try to worm my way into the writing department after I show them that marketing a wrestler on air is just the same as marketing a product. John Cena is a product.

Fitting you should say that Stev as my latest post shows how we have become the commodity.
