The Filler Blog
By no means am I a big game nut for anything that doesn't have the word "football" in it's title, but holy balls, these Madcatz controllers are freakin' awesome! Is your life complete without a Cincinnati Bengals controller?? I think not!
Plus, they got the licensing deal for other goodies like Fantastic Four and Batman controllers for the geek in all of us. Maybe if things keep going well then Mikael Yamaha can get a controller with God's picture on it cause he sure needs some divine intervention after a 64-20 asswhipping in NFL 2K5.
Man, tell me Jesse Ortega and KC McKnight wasn't the dream #1 and #2 to kick off this year's Rumble before they cleared matters up.
I swear, between the 4 "Insiders", we've gone through like a dozen cars over the past month or so. Hedd's got two on death row, I've had three out of commission, Stutts' whole damn family of vehicles has died, and then there's Troxler's constant car issues. Nothing can totally ruin my day more than having a car break down on me.
The BLOG/Live journal family of the NC Indy crew keeps growing and growing and I've modified my sidebar link to try and list everyone that I know of that both has one and updates on a regular basis (kind of a key element ya know?).
Boy, I would have never thought that Dangers and myself would have such similar tastes in women but after a few years now and a few crossovers, both good and bad, I guess we can pretty much confirm that one.
I rarely cover WWE news but the roster cuts the past few days have just been insane with Jackie Gayda, Charlie Haas, Bubba Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Spike Dudley, Kevin "Mordecai" Fertig, Matt Morgan, Dawn Marie, Marty Jannetty, Joy Giovanni, Gangrel, Billy Kidman, Shannon Moore, Akio, Maven, Mark Jindrak, Kenzo and Hiroko Suzuki ALL being released. Some crap and alot of talent on that list. Spike Dudley has some wonderful blog-like words for the WWE which you can read HERE. I would assume Shannon Moore is the only one that may show up in a CWF ring but man alive, would Jimmy Yang ever be a coup for the Light Heavyweight tournament this month. Adding insult to injury, they release all of that talent and SIGN Big Vito (of all people). Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar will be on his way back which is a good thing as he's pretty much the ONLY superstar they ever made mean anything in the post Austin/Rock-era.
Wow, am I ever behind in blog rebuttals...Feeche put over the Spongebob Pop-Tarts during that mini-debate which reminds me that that particular flavor is actually pretty kickass. It's actually the same flavor used in all their "topical" Pop-Tarts from Star Wars to Monsters to Spider-Man, with Spidey being my personal favorite of the bunch because of that awesome iced webbing on top. Of course if that franchise ever dies, I'm screwed.
Now in searching for the pic you see above, I stumbled upon the latest nominee for greatest website ever:
Yes, an entire website dedicated to the great marketing geniuses of the past that preyed on geeks such as myself that couldn't get enough of this stuff. I tell ya, Peter Pan was my one and only Peanut Butter until by god SuperMan decided to start sponsoring some PB. That changed things up real quick. That Batman cereal is freakin' horrible but I still got the plastic bank that was shrink wrapped to the side of the box.
God I'm dying for some football...in just about what is destined to be the literally coldest sports environment you could ever create, by god Lambeau Field is going to host a college ice hockey game in February.
For new readers, I have lived in Wisconsin and believe me, you can't even fathom just HOW cold that freakin' place can be. Much less outdoors in February surrounded by ice. 32 degrees in the south doesn't feel ANYthing like 32 degrees up there, much less -32 degrees. If I was still up there, I'd love to go cause that's just one of those wacky experiences that you want to be able to tell the grandkids about.
There's this one "layer" surveys goin around on the blogs here lately and I usually don't bother filling these things out cause 1-they're a dime a dozen and 2-everything anyone needs to know about me can already be found on this blog.

Your most overused phrase on AIM/messenger: "I gotcha".

LAYER FOUR
Pepsi or Coke: Coke if I have to pick between one of those two.
McDonald's or Burger King: McDonald's, no question.
Single or group dates: I don't go on dates as much as I "hang out with friends", even if they are girls. But yeah, singles if ya have to call it "a date".
Adidas or Nike: Oh now, that's just TOO corporate. Just give me some comfy shoes with some color.
Lipton Iced Tea or Nestea: It don't matter as long as it's sweet-ass homemade sweet tea that will make your teeth nervous.

Like high school: Surprisingly enough, yes because I didn't let grades and homework get in the way of havin fun.

Eaten an entire box of Oreos: In the past month? No...but give me a box of stale Oreos tomorrow and I just might.
Eaten sushi: Nadda never.
Been on stage: on stage?? What a strange survey this is. I mean, do normal people fill these things out and actually put "Yes"?? I GUESS I could say "Yes" although our "stage" is dependent on your definition of the word.
Been dumped: Not it a looong time.
Gone skating: Roller skating back in the day.
Made homemade cookies: Dude, I can barely make cereal.
Gone skinny dipping: Full blown skinny dipping no, but I've done it in a pool and let me tell ya that's every bit of 5 stars. Oh wait, this section is "In the past month"...I keep fogetting. Is skinny dipping that common of occurance that we have to put it in the "In the past month?" section. Who the hell made this survey??

Been called a tease: lots.
Gotten beaten up: Amazingly enough, no. I'm sure if it ever happens though it'll be because of this damn blog.
Shoplifted: See, this is the problem with surveys. Why the hell would they ask you "Stolen anything?" just a few questions earlier and then turn right around and ask "Shoplifted?". No, I've never stolen anything but I shoplift like a mother fucker. Christ.
Changed who you were to fit in: God no. Well, I mean, I put on shirt and pants to get a job or go to church, but mentally...never.

Best eye color: Doesn't matter, just prefer that they have eyes period.
Best hair color: Either blond or any funky blue/green/pink kinda color.
Best height: Eh, prefer that they not tower over me but doesn't matter aside from that.
Best weight: Not anorexic, not obese...anything inbetween is all gravy.
Best articles of clothing: just be real and be comfy, damn. Or just show off some cleavage...either way works for me.
LAYER TEN
Number of drugs taken illegally: I can totally skim by this question by just saying I'm not sure seeing as how I probably have taken unprescribed medication for various aliments that would be considered "illegal" by some, thereby rendering the actual count impossible to come by. Oh now that was one fantastic political answer!
Number of people I could trust with my life: More than I should probably.
