Talk Wrestling Online Community Newsletter #220 - 09/08/09 - Push the Button
____________________________________ Talk Wrestling Online Community Newsletter Issue #220 – August 9th 2009 ____________________________________  The Editorial The last two weeks have flown past and I find myself at the helm of yet another newsletter. The usual suspects are here for you to peruse and enjoy, so leave your comments at the end and we'll use the feedback to continue to improve and evolve the Community Newsletter over the coming months. The movie-lover in me was saddened by the passing of John Hughes during the week. Even though he won't get the press that Michael Jackson had when he died, Hughes has an impressive legacy left behind also. Do yourself a favour and watch at least one of his classic hits from the eighties. Short and sweet, just like my wife.  DC --------------------------------------------------------------- Meet The Team ---------------------------------------------------------------  1) There's a new film coming out called The Box. The basic premise is that a mystery stranger offers a couple a vast sum of money and all they have to do is push a button (on the titular box). The catch is that someone, somewhere on the planet, someone they don't know, will die. If the same offer was given to you, would you push the button? DC: I'd start to think about who that one person could be. What if he was a pilot of a jumbo jet and he died at the controls of the plane, meaning all onboard would also die when it crashed? It would be things like that which would dart across my mind... and then I'd push the button. Kam: I couldn't...I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. TPIB: That would be a tough call to make for me. If given the option, I would like to have more information on the person. If they were someone who had cancer or something and was going to die anyway, then that would be something to consider. Regardless, I would say no. No amount of money is worth the life of someone else. John Hancock: Probably not. I'd be very tempted though. Laffy: No. I could not do it knowing I would be responsible for someone's death. I could not have that on my conscience. Saz: Yes. Now if it was someone I did know, that would be more of a bind. Fiona: No. Simple as that. Darkstar: No, not at all. Sure, if it was someone who wanted to die... but that wont happen. Nimf: As much as I'd consider it, I know at the end of the day I couldn't do it. It might be someone I didn't know, but that person is a 'someone' to somebody out there. Also, what if that person was detrimental to life or destined to go on to do great things? Or you know, really hot??? Inno: No I wouldn't unless... I could GUARAN-DAMN-TEE it would be Kerry Katona. O'Brian: I couldn't bring myself to do it, but I would be tempted. Vic Veldon: I'd like to think I wouldn't push the button, but I probably would. 2) What's the greatest TV show you watch/used to watch that no-one else seems to have heard of? DC: There's a few that I could pop in here (Early Edition, Blade, Dirty Sexy Money, Jericho, Joan of Arcadia), but I'm going to go with Justice. It was cancelled after one season (which happens to a lot of great shows) but was a great legal drama that had a lot of surprises and well-rounded characters. Kam: Battlestar Galatica deserved far more viewers...it was amazing. TPIB: I imagine that there several different shows that I watch that are not exactly "well known" to the general public. I watch a lot of game shows on GSN that people probably have not seen or heard of, like The Money List, 20Q, or 1 Vs. 100. I watch a lot of Comedy Central shows like Important Things with Demetri Martin and Tosh.0. John Hancock: American, MTV fly-on-the-wall reality T.V. shows, like Adventures In Hollyhood. Those shows are just the greatness. Laffy: "Veronica's Closet" I don't know anyone who watches this. Most people I mention it too give me the blank vacant stare. Saz: Bukkake Champions! Fiona: Ghosthunters. Darkstar: Not Going Out. Funniest thing I have ever seen. Nimf: That's a tough one. I honestly can't think of a show that's superb that people haven't heard of that I watch!!! Chuck would be close, but I know a few people who watch it... Inno: Toss up between two - VASTLY underrated US sitcom News Radio (featuring Maura Tierney, Dave Foley, Stephen Root, Andy Dick, Joe Rogan and Phil Hartman amongst others) or Midnight Caller - a drama following retired cop Jack Killian (Gary Cole) who hosts a late-night radio show and fixes problems on the side. Loved them both equally, nobody ever seemed to watch them or even know of them... O'Brian: The 4400 Vic Veldon: Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. It's a really funny show in the vein of Hercules and Xena, but a little more surreal and silly. 3) You're shooting a celebrity sex tape that, to up the anté, is a threesome. Everyone is in on it, but, of course, they'll "be outraged" while soaking up the free publicity. Which three celebrities would you choose to be featured in your directorial masterpiece? It can be three women, three men, two women and one man or two men and one woman (no animals, so the person wanting Lassie, Flipper and Godzilla can go back to the drawing board). DC: Cindy Synett, Bianca Beauchamp and Lindy Booth. It's a hot redhead thing. Kam: Erm.....NEXT TPIB: Wow, so many names come to mind with that one. Well, first off, I would go with the one man and two women combination. For the man, I don't really care. However, the women would have to be Cat Deeley and Megan Fox. Just stop and think about that one for a minute.  John Hancock: Alexa Chung, Hayley Williams and Neomi Lenoir. Allow the fact that all three of them are straight. Laffy: George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford because they are hot and it would be fun to see them naked. Would love to see Harrison wearing the Indy hat and holding the whip! Saz: Clinton and those two Asian reporters... "So, tell me, just how grateful are you for me getting you out of jail?" Fiona: Off the top of my head Brad Pitt, Angelina Joile and Jennifer Aniston. Might get a cat-fight out of it too. Darkstar: The Queen, Osama Bin Ladan and George W. Bush. OK. it wouldn't be a turn on in any way, shape or form, but damn, the publicity would be through the roof. Nimf: Jensen Ackles, James Marsters and Carmine Giovinazzo. Why? Because I'd get to see all 3 of them naked and sweaty... Oh hell yeah! Inno: I would feature Linda Fiorentino, Emily Deschanel and me. I am of course, an internet and radio celebrity, as peeps who have followed my career can vouch for. O'Brian: Linda Fiorentino, Alexa Davalos and Caitlin Wehrle. I like them a little classier. Vic Veldon: Lindy Booth, Kat Von D and Amy Adams. -------------------------------------------------------------- Talk Wrestling Online Subscribers -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to all the Talk Wrestling Online Subscribers: Anime_Otaku + BRM + Cathal + Chris2K + Darkstar + Fiona + Fletch + Gooneronastick + Inno + Joel + Laffy + Nemesis Enforcer + Omega + Reno + Saz + Shane O Mac + The.Icon + The Maxx + TMJ  Total Subscribers: 19 To find out how you can help support Talk Wrestling Online and become a subscriber see: * Talk Wrestling Online Subscriber Scheme * --------------------------------------------------------------- Talk Wrestling Online Stats ---------------------------------------------------------------  MOST ACTIVE THREADS IN THE LAST 14 DAYS: 1.

It's the first site I check every day in my lunch break. The news wire is always up to date with the lastest tranfer news and ramblings of Sir Alex, the mailbag is always an entertaining read with its mix of intelligent writers and other guys who are just damn angry. It's mix of informative and satirical looks at the national obsession and is a must for any football fan. ~Movie~ I belive it's been called the most politically-incorrect film ever made. It's not hard to see why. If you're Belgian, Irish, English, Vietnamese, American, Canadian, homosexual, overweight or if you're a midget, then this film could easily offend you. In Bruges sees two hitmen, Ray and Ken, hiding out in the small Belgian city of Bruges after a job back in England has gone badly wrong. During their stay, they do some sightseeing and enjoy the fine Belgian beer, as well as mixing with the local hot female drug dealer and a racist dwarf who has a thing for Dutch hookers. But during his stay, Ray has to try and come to terms with a terrible thing that has happened in his recent past, while Ken is given his next job and it's going to go down "In Bruges". ~Album~ My friend introduced me to Soulwax a few years back now, but since then, the Belgian dance duo have had a profound influence on me. I've done a lot of travelling this year and with that comes the fact that, since my ipod is plugged into my ears an awful lot, it comes as no surprise that Soulwax Nite Versions is my most played album. It's infectious mix of Alternative Rock, Dance, Electro and Punk has become somewhat of a soundtrack to my life this year, even if it is four years old now. ~Book~ Most will be well aware of Matt Damon's version Jason Bourne, but aside from the orginal trilogy, another three books have been released by Eric Van Lustbader. I'm currently working my way through the latest, The Bourne Sanction, which has just been released as paperback. I'm unable to tell you much about the story as I'm only about a third of the way through, but if you can imagine a Cold War James Bond novel, only being quite good, then you would be along the right lines. --------------------------------------------------------------- Movie Mayhem (DC) ---------------------------------------------------------------  Last time out, you'll remember that we looked at ten movie actors and actresses who started out on TV, but ended up becoming superstars in Hollywood. Now, in the second segment of our two-part feature, we're going to run down ten actors and actresses who made went the other way.

After the success of last edition's little review, I'm hereby extending an invitation to you, yes, you, the readers, to feel free to review any shows you may be going to. Written reviews, photos, the jewellery you stole from the lead singer when he stage-dived, it's all welcome and wanted. If you want to get involved, let me, John Hancock, know over PM or e-mail. Thanks babe. --------------------- ANYWAY. On with the show. This weekend, I won't be around, so I wont' be able to write up the latest news and my philosophy is, if news isn't up to date, then it's pointless, so, instead, in a break from the norm, (for the third time in a row, thus making it the norm) where going to go with a little feature. THE TOP TEN STUPIDEST MUSIC GENRES I'VE EVER HEARD OF IN MY ENTIRE LIFE 10. Crunkcore For those of you who don't know, the prefix "crunk" denotes a sub-genre of rap, particularly common in the Deep South of America, specifically around the cities of Memphis and Atlanta, that constitutes mostly of repeated, aggressive, sing-along, gang vocals, couple with stong electronic drums beats and repetitive synth hooks. The suffix "core" is an abbreviation of "Hardcore Punk", a sub-genre of punk that came about in the late 70's in California, Washington D.C. and New York City, consisting of aggressive shouted or screamed lyrics and fast-tempoed music. Add those together, and you get... well... "Crunkcore". Now, no-one's entirely sure if this a real genre or just a very clever, very complicated in-joke. August Brown of the L.A. Times referred to perhaps the best known Crunkcore band, Brokencyde, with perhaps the greatest thing ever written down ever; "To ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile." So, incredibly strange cross-over genre in a crude attempt to cash in on the current tastes of "the scene", or clever, self-depricating in-joke about scene kids two favourite genres? You decide. Examples: Brokencyde, Dot Dot Curve, Scene Kidz, Dropping A Popped Locket and Blood On The Dance Floor. 9. Nintendocore This is a tough one to describe. Generally, Nintendocore is a catch-all term used to describe any musical genre where conventional instruments are replaced with 8-Bit sound chips. The more hardcore members of this genre actually manipulate the sound boards of SNES and Gameboy game consoles, where as other's simply use plain old synthesizers and keyboards with downloaded sounds. Simply put, the rules are, all music must be either 8 or 16 bit. Occasionally, drum machines are used, along with vocal and sound samples. Due to this relatively broad criteria, virtually any genre can be converted into Nintendocore. Want to make a punk band Nintendocore? Replace the guitars with 8-bit sound boards. Want to make a dance act Nintendocore? Simple, just replace the normal synth hooks with their 8-bit equivalent. This genre also hold a frankly obscene amount of alternative names, including, but not limited to, Mariocore, Chiptune, Emotronic and Nintendogrind. Examples:  , HORSE The Band, Sky Eats Airplane, Crystal Castles and Dungeon Elite [**]8. Black Metal You've probably heard of this one. You hopefully wish you hadn't. Goths look silly. We all know that. Hell, even they know that, which is why, other than the once a week that they go out for a night on the tiles, they don't look like that. The same cannot be said for Black Metal. I need to make something very clear here, because it's a point I had trouble understanding myself: THESE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY AREN'T JOKING. Seriously. I suppose I'll have to at least pretend to take this genre seriously, just for the sake of teaching people about it, for the same reason we learn about the Nazis; so it can never, ever, happen again. Basically, Black Metal is the bastard child of the far more respectable genres of Death Metal and Thrash Metal. Thankfully, for the sake of humanity, it's confined almost totally to Earth's Room 101, Scandinavia, much like the mullet, the handle bar mustache and the concept of eating reindeers. If, for some reason, you'd like to become involved in this terrible scene, here's what you do: - Paint yourself white, irrespective of your original colour. - Dress like a cross between a gay Viking and a gay Nazi officer. - Behave like this is all totally normal. - Wonder why everyone on Earth is laughing at you. Examples: Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, Darkthrone and Immortal. 7. Queercore Nice name there guys. Musically, this isn't a weird genre. What's weird is that it's a genre at all. Musically, it's just punk, pure and simple. The thing that makes it weird is that the bands sexuality defines it's genre. Some bands tend to play up to it, but, for the most part, it's seriously just gay people playing punk music. Up next: Blackcore, Jewcore, Gingercore, Fatcore and ThoseGuysWhoSortOfLookRetardedButIt'sPrettyBorderL ineSoYouDareNotAskButYouKeepYourDistanceAnywaycore . Examples: Pansy Division, The Butchies, Team Dresch, Limp Wrist and Gay For Johnny Depp. 6. Cabaret Punk This genre's awesome. Seriously. No-one's entirely sure where the "Punk" part comes from, but, basically, this is a modern genre of music that's incredibly, and overridingly influenced by the Cabaret style of 1920's Berlin. That means these band tend to be fully acoustic, consisting mostly of drums and pianos. They also tend to reference their Cabaret past by dressing in 1920's fashions and painting their faces white in reference to the German theatrical pioneer Bertold Brecht. Examples: The Dresden Dolls, HUMANWINE, Rasputina, Los Trabantos and The Tiger Lillies. 5. Mathcore River Cuomo, lead singer of Weezer, once said that it was his goal to work out a mathematical formula for the perfect pop song. This is certainly an admirable task, and one many others have undertaken. This idea of mathematical perfection of art shouldn't be confused with Mathcore. In theory, Mathcore is a genre of music, where patterns and relatively complicated mathematical formulae are used to dictate the musical notes being played. In reality, it sounds like someone put all of music in a box. And then dropped it off a cliff. And this is what that box sounded like as it smashed onto the ground, with the concept of music itself being smashed into tiny fragments and sent flying in all directions. Examples: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Protest The Hero, Ion Dissonance and The Number Twelve Looks Like You 4. Zombiecore Listen to there songs with your eyes closed and you'll say to your self, "Hey... this is just Trash Metal", and you'd be right. Now open your eyes. See the difference? Yep, they're dressed as zombies. Apparently, dressing as a zombie constitutes a separate genre these days. Faaaaair enough. Examples: Send More Paramedics, The Order Of The Fly, Zombie Apocalypse, The Best Beast and The Phantom Limbs 3. Nu-Grunge EEEEEEERGH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERGH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERGH! And we were thinking that grunge died with Kurt Cobain. Well, apparently not. Some evil, evil w*nker decided, "Hey, we don't need any new music, let's just repeat what was fresh and ground breaking ten years ago and see what happens". The result? The new Nirvana? No. The new Soundgarden? Nope. Hell.... the new Mud Honey? Not even that. We get... kcablekciN And yeah, you have to say it backwards, or Kurt Cobain climbs out of the mirror and shoots you with his shotgun. Examples: Puddle Of Mudd, Seether, Chris Cornell, Silverchair and Collective Soul. 2. Christcore To the untrained ear, this would join Zombiecore and Queercore as genres that are defined by the musicians, not the music, but, listen carefully. They're singing about Jesus. No, no, they're SCREAMING about Jesus. This is the equivalent of making a cheeseburger with kosher beef. It's possible, hell, it's pretty easy, but if you do it, you're kinda missing the point. Music-wise, it's just Emo-core, Screamo and Hardcore Punk, lyrically, it's a child's Bible. Here's some genuine Christcore lyrics. "Is comfort more important than to save a life? The cross was not very comfortable." "Devour my heart Devour my pain I love you, I love you I owe my life You are so beautiful" And no, he's not singing about a girl. That man's singing about Jesus. Sorry to offend, but, dude... that's kinda gay right there. Also, the name Christcore is really funny. Examples: For Today, ZAO, The Chariot, Gwen Stacy and August Burns Red 1. Shoe Gaze This is a genre. A real genre. A true genre that people use to happily describe THEMSELVES. I mean, come on. Shoe gazing is an insult! Who wants music that involves, in any way, staring at your shoes? Just... I honestly can't get over this. I'll never get over this. This is, honestly, 100% the very worst thing that's ever, ever, EVER happened in music. Examples: Who cares? This music is named after an insult! Seriously? You want some? Fair enough... Spiritualized, The Car Crash, Eight Legs, My Bloody Valentine and My Dad Is Dead. --------------------------------------------------------------- Blabbermouth (Darkstar) ---------------------------------------------------------------  I Don’t Half Ramble On I have been inspired! Though Mitch says I’m more insipid. Having browsed the articles in this week's newsletter, I decided to do a tribute to J-Rock's article. Editor's comment: by tribute, he means "rip-off". Now that’s just not fair, DC, my article is, well, yeah, it's pretty close. This is about the eight best music genres that don’t exist! GoreGoreGoreCore This is a sub-style of Punk music where you just yell the names of any wrestling moves or clichés like any announcer would. This style was popular at one time, with tracks such as ‘Puppies!’, ‘Hell Yeah’ and ‘That’ll Put Asses On Seats’, but, in recent years, this art form was nearly destroyed by artists such as Michael Cole and everyone in TNA. Example Artists/Bands Wattamanouver, Tenay and The Fat One, Taz 2 Tha Top. Flower Rap In this rather groundbreaking mix of styles, a rapper raps while his band mime the music with flowers instead of instruments. Like air guitar colliding with new metal in a flower patch. Example Artists/Bands Buns and Roses, Limp Celery, DaffyDill. MicroCore Much like Nintendocore, but this style involves sending back your instruments every six months to be repaired. ON the plus side, the light show can be phenomenal, though it is limited to red. Example Artists/Bans SonySux, Cheaperbutshitter, Eggbox. Steamo Steamo is a fantastic genre, the entire song is sang while your face is held over a bowl of boiling water. Obviously, you need a towel over your head for the full effect. The better examples of Steamo have colds all year round to really add that realism. Example Bands/Artists Lemshit, Phil Phlem, All Bunged Up In Idaho. Porncore Bow chickka bow wow, bow chikka chikka chikka bow wow. You know how porn music goes, don’t try to deny it. Porncore comes from the West Coast of America and was innovated by some fat kid in his mom's basement. Possibly whacking off into the lodger's underwear. Let's hope the lodger is a woman of legal age. Example Bands/Artists The Plumber and His Mate, Big Richard, Limp Wristed (they do more specialist content). RomComMo During the first Gulf War (as the Americans remember it), the American film industry exploded with Romantic Comedies and they influenced a whole genre of music based around obvious plot twists, poor acting and overly made up women who only know about blond if it comes from a bottle. Example Bands/Artists Leodickaprio, Hairspray and Lippy, Weactualyhatemen. PlattRap You know that David Platt Ugly mofo with the brain of a cat We all hate the fool And we’d drown him like a gay in Barrymores pool. Yo Ugh Yeah Ma set is ma set. Yeah Ugh Yo Cant act, irritating **** A face to be used as a welcome mat Run him over with a petrol tanker Because I hate the ugly Examples Bands/Artists Me. ShaolinCore 2/10 Yeah, next issue of Blabbermouth will be a full article on my hatred of David Platt. Expect vile language and long rants. --------------------------------------------------------------- The Big Question (Inno) ---------------------------------------------------------------  Well, hello. Welcome to The BIIIIIIIIIG Question! This time with 10% added pizzazz, but at the expense of 15% less motivation and 25% less hygiene... *sniff* With sunshine in the air and thoughts turning to holidays, swine flu, passports, customs and drunken one night stands with Turkish waiters (I'm looking at you, DS), your favourite BIIIIIIIIIG question has this simple poser for its patrons this time round: If you could go on holiday with anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Usual rules apply, first answer is final, management reserve the right to rip the piss out of any answer you give... ~~~~~ Quote:

~~~~~~ AVAST! ~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------- Room 101 (O'Brian) ---------------------------------------------------------------  Room 101 The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world. Welcome readers, welcome to the Ministry of Love. My name is O’Brian and I will be taking you through a process where we uncover your most hated and feared things in life. Those sufficiently evil will be placed in Room101, they are the worst things in the world. The rules of Room101 are easy. One of the proles is brought in and interrogated about 5 things they believe should be confined into Room101 forever. I, O’Brian, will decide which, if any, deserve to go into that dark place. Should a prole get three or more of their nominations into the room they are allowed to pick a bonus item to go in, overriding me. Should they get two or less in, something will escape to haunt their dreams. This week we continue weeding out the bitter hatreds of the TWO Hall of Fame and ask Senior Mod Chris2K. Alcohol  Under the Room 101 juristiction is that the items in question would have NEVER existed, so before everyone goes "OMG ALCOHOL IS TEH L33T C00L *** ITZ AWESUM", you must realise that if it went in, you wouldn't know of it to argue .If alcohol had never existed then this world would have been a much better place. People would probably live longer due to damage to the liver and the brain being significantly decreased. Crime WOULD go down, if only things like assaults and manslaughters, because when people actually have their full senses they don't beat people up. Unwanted pregnancies would be down, STDs would be down, car accidents would be down so car insurance would be cheaper, public property damage would go down, people would be more confident to walk the streets at night.... ...I have so many more reasons but I've just realised that it's a waste of time because nobody will agree with me. So instead, here's a picture of a PANDA. I can get the whole non-drinking thing, I really can (I don’t drink much at all), but alcohol can’t go in for one reason alone. It’s not because of the basic human need for distraction that would lead to other drugs being more sociably acceptable. It’s not because you have the audacity to try to tell me the rules of my own Room. No, it’s because of medicine. Alcohol is one of the best sterilisation agents in the known world, it’s fantastic for cleaning wounds and for dulling pain. History would be a lot worse without it’s medicinal use. So for that reason alone, this stays OUT! Wasps  Stupid, horrible, POINTLESS creatures. Bees I can handle because they help with pollination and don't seemingly go after you with MALICE. I hate wasps not only because of their lack of use to the world, not only because they can kill people with one sting if you're unfortunate enough to be allergic, but because their BUZZING DRIVES ME INSANE. I had the bad luck to have a hornet's nest in my bedroom wall, and I could hear them BUZZING and PLOTTING TO KILL ME (perhaps). Get rid of them. Now. Wasps are vital parts of the ecosystem, they are the predators of almost all pest species that ruin crops. Wasps also pollinate plants, it’s not just bees. BUT… One of the little bastards will always aim for my Pepsi Max if I’m outside, and picking drowned wasps from my drink isn’t my idea of fun. Even bees have more sense... and I once watched a bee try to mate with a hang-glider. IN! Illegal Drug USERS.  Not drugs, but the users. I actually consider drugs a test. If you're smart, sensible, and law-abiding you won't touch them. But if you're weak, pathetic and have no respect for yourself or other people, you do. So drug users can go to hell as far as I'm concerned. I had the unfortunate experience once of dating a girl who I later found out to be a drug addict (I found out after I kissed her and saw coke up her nose, made me throw up), and her complete and utter refusal to accept any blame, responsibility or help made me question my faith in mankind. Probably not another popular choice, but I doubt I'll respect the opinion of anyone who argues against it anyway .While in principle I agree with you, the basic fact is that the legality of many drugs is questionable at best. Some of the greatest people in history have been heavy drug users, just looking at cannabis alone: Aldous Huxley Andy Warhol The Beatles Bill Murray Bob Dylan. Bob Marley. Cab Calloway. Carl Sagan. Carlos Santana Cary Grant. Cary Mullis. Charles Dickens. Conan O'Brian. Count Basie. Douglas Adams. Dr Francis Crick. Dr Lester Grinspoon. Edgar Allen Poe. Elvis Presley Ernest Hemmingway Francis Ford Coppella. Fredreich Nietzshe. George Washington. Howard Stern. Irvine Welsh. Kurt Cobain. Jabir Ibn el-Hayyan. Jack Kerouac.. Jack Nicholson. James Brown Janis Joplin. Joan of Arc John Belushi. John F Kennedy John Keats Jules Verne Ken Livingston Lord Byron Louis Armstrong Mary Shelly Mo Mowlan Modigliani. Sculptor. Montgomery Neil Diamond. Oscar Wilde Pablo Picasso Paul Simon. Pharoahs of Egypt. Traces in body samples. Philip K. Dick Pythagoras. Queen Victoria. Richard Branson. Richard Feynman Richard Wilson. Robert Burns Samuel Beckett. Stephen King. Tenessee Williams Victor Hugo. Vincent Van Gogh Walt Disney William Burroughs Winston Churchill Zoroaster I’d say the world would be a lot worse off without many of those people. OUT! Steve Jones.  What a complete and utter ****. Picked by T4 for his looks, his physique and his physique-looks, Mr. Jones is now poisoning more than just a load of shows I've seen before as he begins to infect shows I might watch. People seem to think he's funny, but they must be confusing "funny" with "the ability to read what someone else has written from an autocue". Just a terrible presenter, and a terrible advertisment for life that he gets to be rich and famous despite having NO talent. I honest to God couldn’t put it any better myself. I wont even hesitate in slamming this into Room101! IN. Winter.  I live in a remote place where the concept of putting grit onto a road during icy weather is considered as complicated as brain surgery. It just doesn't happen and, as a result, I go skidding off the road at least once a year, putting my life in jeopardy as well as the health of my car. I could blame the council, but it's easier for me to just blame the entire season from December to February. It doesn't help that I don't like Christmas or New Year's Eve either, I could quite happily do without them. The picture should give my feelings on Winter. I love snow, I love the way it piles on my car hood and coats my path. I love that crisp chill in the air. Sure the council should make better use of my council tax and actually grit the roads, but as a decent driver I can handle my car well enough to avoid any serious mishaps, just the occasional small slide when the handbrake goes on… Plus Christmas; where would we be without Christmas? This stays OUT! So, that’s two out of five Chris. By the rules I am forced to allow something horrid to escape The Room. Here we go… Hope you’re happy with yourself now Chris. Lets hope next Room101 our next victim can do better. Take care, and remember, Big Brother is always watching. O’Brian. --------------------------------------------------------------- The Probe (Saz) ---------------------------------------------------------------  When people ask to be on the Probe, I, the Sazster, with all his Sazzamaniacs out there, take up the challenge, so I said my prayers and took my vitamins to face TWO's famous grump, Omega! Welcome to the Probe, Omega, would you like to tell us a bit about yourself? Joined the site in mid-2004 soley on the basis that I wanted somewhere to read spoilers on WWE shows. I didn't even start posting for the first 6 months and now I'm over 5,000 posts and counting. I'm fairly private about my real life but the main facts are I'm 29, work in I.T. and got married in May. I'd consider myself an average person in most respects, bar the interest in wrestling! As you say you got married in May, so for all us single men out there! How's married life so far? Unless your really unlucky, it's much the same as being engaged or living with someone. I can't believe that people ever got married without living together, because I'd have happily throttled some of my ex's had I been forced to live with them forever! I'm enjoying married life, it was nice to be able to have all our family there on one day that was about our life together. Other than that, it was a big dress-up day with booze and food and a frickin' amazing holiday afterwards! Are there any downsides to marriage you have seen so far? None that you wouldn't find in any normal relationship really. If your getting married for any other reason than simply to confirm your commitment to someone then your doing it for the wrong reasons. It's not surprising that women marry the wrong men because they are so worried about never getting married and that men marry the wrong women because they are too spineless or lazy not to. Also that people simply marry out of the fear of being alone. I never had any strong feeling about getting married and having kids. Having gotten married I don't feel like I have to have kids or do anything else unless we now both decide to. Only way to be in my opinion. Sounds like good advice. So tell us where you usually hang out on TWO? Well, as part of the booking team for the E-fed, I'm 90% in the TWOStars section (plug number 1). I flit in and out of General Chat if there is a topic that catches my interest or someone has posted something worth commenting on. However, it's been sh*te lately. Even though I've posted in them, I hate the "How Are You Today" thread and the other inane twitter-esque threads. I just don't care enough about what Taki had for breakfast or whether Nemesis Enforcer is feeling grumpy (not a slight at those two but just an example). As a subber, I spam up the Champagne Room whenever I get a chance. That has it's moments... I don't watch wrestling anymore so rarely post in the wrestling threads again unless someone posts something retarded like "SCW is great, they don't just do hardcore matches you know, it's proper wrestling and everything..... with weed whackers." I post in the odd thread in other sports, mostly F1 related as that's a passion of mine. If I'm honest, most of the other sub-forums don't do anything for me. They're full of reposts of the same thing over and over or full of one-opinion idiots whose sole goal seems to be to post one thing and then call everyone else who disagrees a moron. Morons! Would it be right to say you're only here for TWOStars then? I think it would be right to say I'm still here for TWOstars. Having been here so long, I do have some sentiment for the forum as a whole. When I joined, it seemed to be much busier and full of people who had been around for ages, it felt more of a community. Now it seems there are a few die-hards and lots of new people who haven't really replaced those who left. I think it says something that we've gone through so many mods on the other forums recently. People aren't sticking with the forum like they used to. Perhaps thats becuase the old guard are so protective, it's hard to break into the "group" at the top so to speak. It's a double-edged sword really, you can't keep the forum as was but the new people change it in ways you might not like. There have been a couple of times I've thought about not coming back (not in a stroppy way) but something always brings me back; boredom mostly! If you had control for the day, what would you do to spice things up? Ban all the unentertaining retards, we need to keep some just to keep things ticking over. Make Jayfunk a Global Mod for the fun of it. Create a rule that all posts must be titled like The Franchise does to stop his posts being quite so irritating. Open up the mods forum for public view just to watch the fur fly. Remove all non-subbers scores from the arcade. So yeah, I'd destroy the forums basically..... You do tend to get irritated a lot don't you? What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?!?!?!? Yes, I'll freely admit that sometimes people get under my skin and I'll have a meltdown at them. Sometimes I'll look back and think I acted like an idiot and sometimes I feel fine about it. I probably don't apologise as often as I should but at the end of the day this is an internet forum and if I offend people it's not like I live with them. Might sound a bit bloody-minded but, hey ho, and if one day I go too far and get banned then I won't complain. Generally the modding here works and I can't really argue my infractions. Fair play, we all have our moments, even Darkstar's recently had his annual "lose it" moment! Another part of your psyche has to be your abject hatred of anyone who dares post an advert for an efed that isn't TWO Stars. Do these people even deserve a chance? No, they are scum. Scum of the highest order. Really my only issue is that we have, in my opinion, a very good fed here and the type of people who plug e-feds are one post wonders (or one week wonders). If they were part of a fed and joined the site for the sake of joining the site and then plugged I wouldn't mind so much. It's the ones whose username is the name of the fed. Clearly the only thing your here for is to shill your crappy two-week old roleplaying fed that will disappear beneath the waves come the end of summer holidays. Big feds don't shill, the really huge ones just exist and draw in members looking for them. I just think it's rude to sign up to post once about something to potentially take people from here. It's a niggle more than anything else. One of your first "grumpy" moments I remember was when you declared that you'd had just about enough of Nicole and decided to put her on ignore. Is she still banished from the world of Omega or has her enormous cleavage, skimpy outfits and suspected vagina shots tempted you back? She's not on ignore now because half the time people quoted her posts so I ended up seeing what she wrote anyway! To be fair, Nicole does seem to have become a bit more level-headed and not post such utter drivel anymore. I know this is the part you've been wanting to make comments about, so: Except little-miss-bloody-popular Jimbob, who would you say are good posters here? Consistently good posters are really rare. I'd have to say Evil Gringo very, very rarely posts stuff I think is bad. A.C./Mark I think is one of the most thorough debaters around and always enjoyed sparring and challenging with him. J-Rock makes me laugh and, on certain subjects, I enjoy reading his posts immensley although his mini-strop around the drugs thread was a bit of a facepalm moment for me! The obvious one everyone says is Mitch and whilst probably 70% of the time he's spot on and a great poster, he also has a lot of moments of acting like a total arse, which rules him out as a really good poster. Actually thinking about one of the other people I think has always been a good poster and whose posts (and Facebook updates) I regularly enjoy is Fidel Cashflow. Like his insights about F1 which are good. There are lots of people who I like or enjoy but I wouldn't say are great posters. Darkie's good fun for example and sometimes he's a real force but sometimes is just "meh". Reno, Nimf, DSRChris, Jimmy Redman, Maxx and Twig are all decent posters as well. It's not like not being "good" is a bad thing I just have a high standard as to who I think is good. I wouldn't say for instance that I was a"good" poster. I have my moments but I know I miss the mark sometimes and take things personally sometimes. Wait a second while I get the Kevlar and Teflon armour... right! So who would you say are the poor posters then? I will definitely miss some people here: Top of the list by a massive margin is ShaolinHandLock, who is, without doubt, the worst poster I've ever seen. Apart from the fact he can't see that he's already one of the biggest jokes on the forum, he's so incredibly one-dimensional in his opinions and posts. The 2/10 thing makes me laugh everytime it's brought up and he goes "What's that supposed to mean?". Really has head-in-his-ass syndrome. Jayfunk is truly awful everywhere except the TWOstars forum. However, I can see now that he is actually trying to improve how he's percieved which is admirable. The boy needs a good education on whats really going on around him, but I don't think he's malicious in his "opinions". I'd still shout at him but now I can almost (almost that is) enjoy his insane ramblings. A bit like looking back and remembering that having D+V was alright because you got a day off work to sh*t your insides out. I think The Franchise always comes across as an idiot in just about everything I've read and those f*cking titles are just something else. G2G also falls into that catagory, though without the titles. Goldsheldon splutters along, but isn't so terrible most of the time. DC and your good self manage to wind me up chronicaly for a variety of attitude related reasons. Partly the overbearing bolshiness (is that a word?) and DC's single-minded defence of his ego. Although having kept our distance for a while means I don't have any issue with you anymore, which is good. I have no time for DPDave who comes across as a total wanker in every post I've read, but he feels the same about me I suspect, so thats all good. Dave7g has ground my gears at times, but then again, has his moments, so wouldn't say a bad poster per se. Actually a lot of the people who spend 90% of their time in the Other Sports forum come across as dicks on the rest of the forum. It seems to generate these kind of "cliques" fairly regularly and they all tend to be idiots. Drake is an exception there, as I think he's great. Almost forgot TPIB, who seems to believe the world of TWO is totally indespensible without him or his stupid threads and that people actually give a crap about him in general. Anime can be so liberal it makes me want to wear full Nazi uniform and gas some immigrants, but does make me chuckle as well and I think is a decent guy with some odd, odd tastes. I could add the Grammargate guys, but realisticly I never asked or wanted them banned, just to stop spamming E-fed threads and picking on people across the site. Despite this being my longest answer I still feel like I've missed loads of people, so I'll add anyone as I think of them through the rest of the Probe..... I'll be the first to admit I'm a walking ego and to be fair, you do have some good points about people's quirks, however, I have to ask this, are you in any way related to Victor Meldrew? Ha, probably! I'm a grumpy old man sometimes and I've never been good at suffering fools gladly. It's why I have a healthy respect for the mods on the forum because, at the end of the day, eveyone is capable of flights of idiocy and it must be hard not to jump on certain people all the time. Being as honest as possible here, I know that there are plenty of people on here who would probably put me in their top list of shits on the forum. Just because I think they are idiots or bell-ends doesn't mean a) that other people don't think they are awesome and b) that they are anything like that in real life. I'm not anything like as grumpy in real life and I'm sure some of the people I don't get on with here I might like in person. I didn't join here to make life-long friends. There's probably about 4 or 5 people on here I'd vaguely like to meet for a chat and a beer, but I doubt you'd ever see me a TWO meet (you lucky people!) and if I did I wouldn't be a regular. If I piss people off, then such is life, I'm not doing it on purpose, it just happens. I certainly never go out of my way to bully people I dislike on here because I can't see the point. I also don't hold long-term grudges against people. I'll shout and scream at someone in one post and then rep them in the next. As an example, I've had more than a few run ins with Mitch over the years but when he's on the money I think he's great. The fact that at times I've felt like beating his face in doesn't matter in the overall scheme of things. In the same token anyone from the previous question may well become a favourite poster of mine in the future. At the end of the day, I'm not bothered by what my cyber-rep is because I also don't believe anyone else gives a sh*t what I think about them. Things will piss me off and I'll say my bit, take a slap on the wrist if I go too far and then I'm done. It may seem like I take everything really personally but really it's just that I wind up easily over things and then forget about them. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one member of TWO, who would that be? LadyHotRod because..... well the obvious reason really! Finally, do you have any message for the people of TWO? Errr, not really. Doubt anyone would be bothered, to be fair! I suppose I'd say to people that you're part of a great community so do your best to make it the best. Established people should nurture new people and new people should learn from the older posters. But don't whine when you get stomped on for saying something stupid. Oh and don't plug your f*cking efed here!  Thanks for your time, Omega. --------------------------------------------------------------- TWO Stars Recap (Vic Veldon) ---------------------------------------------------------------  Hello.

That was Saz's best Probe yet, totally because of Megz' complete non-f*ck giving about offending people.
More like that please!

I knew I'd be in the probe, but I think Omega wasn't too harsh overall, though I can see some people having a hissy fit.

I do and I imagine Saz does as well (and Omega himself).
