Has it really been two and a half months since I last did one of these?  *slaps self*

Well, since many of you don't know who Eric Bischoff is (and I didn't do a very good job explaining it, heh), here's the short version of his story.  Enjoy!

An interesting read!  I only got into wrestling a few months back myself so a lot of the backstories escape me.  So, thanks for the info! :)

Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

Yeah, yeah.  Another month goes by, but here's something new! 

I decided to go a different route this time and write a story from a third-person perspective.  Instead of bitching in the first-person.  Enjoy!

Very nice!

Characterisation is very consistant, and unfortunatly, very realistic. I wish I could believe people like this didnt exist, but... its a sad fact of life.

Nothing much to say... other than to compliment it as another peice of enjoyable writing to digest :)

This one's not quite 500 words, but I still think it's funny.

I thought I'd jump on this before The Onion did.  Enjoy!

Wow. I suddenly understand 70% of all celebrity breakups. Excellent stuff, but far too convincing.  ;D

Same Crap, Different Car.

NASCAR just had it's new "Car of Tomorrow" race this weekend.  It was just as boring and stupid as any other race.  So I ranted about it.  Enjoy!

(I really don't do this often enough anymore.)

A race with a speed limit? That's rush hour, surely.

I bet the manufacturers of Lightspeed Briefs also make the Jockstrap of Tomorrow.  ;D

Hey, this is quite encouraging!  I've seen a bit of NASCAR here and there and I've always found it dull.  I thought perhaps this was because I'm British and therefore it wasn't ingrained in my psyche so it's nice to see someone Stateside panning it!  Mind you, I don't get baseball either ;D  About the only thing I remotely liked about it was the lack of technology.  I don't know whether this still applies but it always used to be a manual transmission bolted to a big V8 in a trick chassis....and that was about it.  As a vehicular technophobe that always rather appealed to me, though the near constant cautions and driving in circles didn't.  60 mph on a circular track...we actually have something similar over here, it's called the M25.
They use Metallica in their ads when they should have stuck with country music.
Fantastic line!
There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning....
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave....
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.
