EPIC BATTLE!
Hong Man Choi vs. Jose Canseco (yes... that Jose Canseco!) This fight actually happened last night.

And it was EPIC!

One other thing
Ok guys... I've been using it primarily to stream reruns of Quincy on Netflix but in case you didn't know I now have an X-Box Live Gold account. My live name is "PaulSebert" so feel free to friend me. Who knows maybe we can rock it out to Uno one evening.

ROH! ROH! ROH!
Indy wrestling fed Ring of Honor is making it's cable TV debut on HDNET tonight at 8:00 p.m. as someone who was a big wrasslin' fan during the "Monday Night War" period in the late 90s I'm looking forward to it. Between the malaise the WWE has been in for the last few years and TNA's constant string of OMG-WTF-HORRIBLE television the time certainly is right for someone else to make a splash on the wrestling scene.

With that being said I am somewhat concerned that Ring of Honor is in danger of falling into the trap that ECW did when it started it's show on TNN. ROH has become simply too big to become a regional federation, but may not be able to survive the jump to becoming a national one. For the sake of the talent involved I'm hoping it's successful.

Gratuitous Update
For those who haven't seen me around C-Ko's or my usual haunts this week... well this Monday my computer attempted to commit malware-based suicide. Not sure why, but my guess is that it's distraught over Scans_Daily being taken down. Anyway it's been in the shop for about 4 days seriously hampering my ability to do work or watch Digimon Adventure 2.0 reruns on Crunchyroll.

On the bright side Marvel is actually going to start airing streaming episodes of Toei's Spider-Man (the greatest TV show ever!) online with a new episode going up each Thursday.

Happy Birthday to Me...
Well it's after 1:00 a.m. on November 23rd which means only one thing... it's time to Run.

I'm proud to be an American today.

More so than I have in a long time.

It's the Great Pumpkin House Charlie Brown (part 1)
In Milton, West Virignia there's this madman named Ric Griffith who works with dozens of volunteers to create jack-o-lanterns. An absurd amount of them, over 3,000. Ric Griffith also runs the Griffith & Feil Drug Store/Soda Fountain which means he's the greatest man on Earth.

Here are some photos I took of the house this evening.

( I can't do this justice... )

Depressing List
Ok it looks like Marvel's decided to cancel Tom Defalco's ongoing ~~fanfic~~ comic Amazing Spider-Girl yet again.

Ok Trey, Kenny, etc. I know you guys are probably readying another letter writing campaign but perhaps have you taken the time to consider that maybe, just maybe this book has run it's course? Putting together the combined runs of Spider-Girl and and Amazing Spider-Girl you have a grand total of 130 issues.

Do you guys realize just how many books Spider-Girl has outlasted?

( The Full List )

Millllleeerrr!!!!
Hey guys I'm visiting my sister in Lexington.

I just watched the full-lenght trailer for Frank Miller's "The Spirit" this afternoon when I went to see Religulous.

All I have to say is... WHY!!!!!!!!!!

Why does the Spirit now seem to have Wolverine-esc healing powers? Why do we see Samuel L. Jackson on camera saying "I am the Octopus!" when the whole gimmick of the character is that we never see his face? Why does everything look like Sin City?

WHY?! WHY! WHY!!!!!!!

John McCain Meets His Party...
The look of shame mixed with existential dread on John McCain's fame is absolutely soul crushing. Fascinating piece of political theater.
