@Thenomain That was Hop, with Russel Brand voicing the reluctant Easter Bunny. I thought the same thing at first viewing. "Can they not find a real co-star for James Marsden?"

@Cupcake Perhaps they heard with a lisp and mistook the tr for a...

@Ghost Has he done this since Wrestlemania? I don't think it's something that he's going back to. I think it was just a throwback and an excuse to use it against Elias. At least, I sincerely HOPE he's not doing the whole Thuganomics thing for real because... yeah... Jump The Shark... We all know his WWE career is going the way of The Rock's and Batista's anyways, but why end it on such a burning-car-wreck note?

@Ghost Yeah, I saw one of those "My Son Is A Pro Wrestler" bits. Strowman's a good dude. They showed his parents and where he first started working, etc. He comes from a small town. The typical local-boy-does-good story.

Like a good bit here ( @Roz, @Auspice, etc.), I was born into it. Or perhaps you can say I was brought into it. My mom wasn't much of a nerd, being a single mom in the late 70's she mostly worked, which is where she met my Step-Dad. He was the nerd. We had an Atari 2600 when I was 5, regularly watched old Star Trek re-runs and saw every Star Wars movie whenever they came on the TV (which was a rarity growing up). He loved to play strategy games, though he couldn't quite get into D&D. I'd gone through my dad's collection of old books and read everything written by Tom Clancy, and then stumbled upon Frank Herbert's last 2 Dune books. I didn't go full-throttle into nerd-dom until I started to become more independent in high school. The city library was on the way to school every day, so I started reading every book I could find in their Science Fiction section. It all started with 'Dune' and exploded from there. Asimov, Pohl, Dick, I grew up with all the "classics". Then once I was fully on my own, it just went on from there.

@Ghost I think she's nursing an injury that they're not telling us about. I'd say to check her out in about another 6 months to see if she's back for in-ring or if they're just going to keep her as a personality/valet. I don't think she's ready to leave the WWE just yet, but I'm not sure why she's been staying out of ring action.

@Ghost Just keep it away from Charlotte. I'm kinda done with the Flair grand-standing right now. Let Rhonda keep hold of the title until Extreme Rules or something.

Also, if folks are tired of the corporate-ness of the WWE, I strongly recommend taking a good long look at AEW. Cody and the Young Bucks have filled the roster with a TON of indie talent.

@Ghost I still remember the first time I saw her on NXT. I was still fawning over Alexa Bliss, and then I saw Becky in her feud with Sasha Banks and she definitely made me take notice. Now she's done it to the whole Universe.

@A-Meowley Likewise. That's the kind of comment that makes me want to check a place out...

Updated, etc.

Poole!! It's all your fault!!

I was Joran(sp?) Crayn. I don't play very often, I keep going through straight bouts of playing hard and then falling off the face of the planet for a few months. I just decided to swing by this place after being 'away' for a few months.

That being said, I wouldn't mind taking a peek and helping out in whatever capacity I would be able to. Glad to see that you're alive and kicking.

@wizz My niece turned me onto them a couple years ago. They go around and perform concerts at conventions and such and they're totally family-friendly.

@wizz Gasp!! You've discovered Steam Powered Giraffe!!! That one's definitely a tear-jerker. This one isn't so much of one but it's super-inspiring.

I can think of a blooper now. During the last World Series I had been trading comments/zingers with other Red Sox fans and some really cool Dodgers fans. Now there’s a player on the Dodgers named Kike (kee-kay) Hernandez. His first name is really Enrique. So when he was up at bat, I put this up on pub.

<Public> Kris says, “Kike, we don’t love you.. <blah> <blah> <blah>.”

It was supposed to be a punny play-on-words that went along with that Drake song that kids were getting run over for. It wasn’t until someone, who wasn’t following the game, asked for clarification that I double-checked and saw what else it could be interpreted as. I was mortified and apologized profusely to everyone on the channel before disconnecting and fully expecting to see something from staff the next time I logged in.

@ninjakitten It was my first game as well, back around September of 1992. Unfortunately I don’t remember most of my time there due to being an ultra clueless infantile newbie. Like.... I didn’t even know what “newbie” meant. And I remember asking where the term ‘mav’ came from. The one thing I remember the most was the plant that ate you and spit you out when you logged in for the first time in order to teach you how to set @locks and no_command.

@coin WTF man! Seriously! I'm still trying to catch my breath from Stan Lee and now we're gut-punched again!

@tinuviel I remember one time on DuneIII when someone did that in the middle of a CHOAM meeting. Which is awesome because I don’t remember anything else from that meeting.

@botulism This also lands in RL Things I Love!
