Wrestling, solar panels, cakes, pies. Wife tells me I'm not funny, I'm starting to believe her. Technically, I am a New York Times bestselling author.

The Arn Anderson promo from before Ric Flair's return to WCW in the fall of 1998 where he asks Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko to stop asking him to reform the Four Horsemen.

What is the thing you can recite from memory?

Unrelated to all this stuff with Jalen Hurts and the Eagles....I have been gaslighting a friend of mine as a rib into thinking that Jeffrey Lurie never smiles. It's fun.

AEW gave me a cassette tape and it's just Tony Slattery making odd noises. I mean, REALLY odd noises. Like duck calls, and this impression of an elephant that is the best impression of an elephant I have ever heard.

Martin S Dixon is trying his best.@bunnysuicida.bsky.social

AEW gave me a cassette tape and it's Swerve's secret mixtape for Hangman.

For those of you that might be unaware, blood clots in the lungs is what kept Jesse Ventura from a money drawing run in every major U.S. city against Hulk Hogan in the 80s. Even that POS Vince McMahon didn't make him stay up for two days and then wrestle. This is a post about Jalen Hurts.

Here's my two cents on the Montez Ford lawsuit. Earlier today, I used the cable tv simulator I built with help from a batch of code i found called Media Wave 2000 to watch the movie Dave starting about 25 minutes into the movie, just like I would have in 1995. I ain't touching that shit...

i think there's a conversation to be had about the Montez Ford lawsuit situation. is the internet ready or capable of having that conversation, nah i doubt it.

Your semi regular reminder that Ohio once fought a war with Michigan to KEEP Toledo.

El-Sayed: JD Vance called me a little weasel today. No, what you’re talking about is a fucking wolverine.

Hey, what's an odd thing that got a wrestler over with you? Mine would be that at a WWF show in 1995, Kama came out to Iron Man, then squashed a guy in like five minutes.

At the beginning of the Netflix movie 'The Dirt', one of the members of Motley Crue was wearing a Hulkamania shirt...in like 1981.

This may shock some of you, but the Prince song ‘Darling Nikki’ is actually about Prince building a storage shed on Verne Gagne’s land.

"Dear Nintendo: I'm Old, I'm Tired, and My Life is A Goddamn Mess"

CM Punk looks like a guy who has old Seanbaby pages saved in HTML because the internet used to be better

Look, it might be because of a project I am working on, but I have had the song from the California Raisins "Books: Check 'Em Out" PSA stuck in my head all damn day. It's just awful and it's making me feel unwell.

While on hold with AT&T today, I realized their hold music is the same music that's being played during the dance choreography scene during Richard Gere's part of "And the Band Played On" I've been thinking about that for hours now.

I really hope everyone on this show has as good a time given the circumstances. They all really need something to smile about right now. #AEWDynamite

I don't watch AEW much, or much modern wrestling. I'm not one of these tribalistic fans. I just like wrestling. That Moxley promo at the beginning of Dynamite was at "wallowing in the muck of avarice" for me.

I always liked Sid because he seemed like a guy who in the middle of telling a story about beating a guy's ass would stop, ask how your mama's operation went, apoligize for not asking sooner, promise to send her flowers, and go right back into the ass whipping story without missing a beat.

KrisPLettuce@krisplettuce.bsky.social

Some people will tell you that Sid wasn't a good talker, I am not one of those people

Just thinking of the time Balls Mahoney somehow recognized me from meeting him at an ECW show in Michigan years before while at an indy show in Virginia, and when I asked how he was doing... "Great! Last night I got banned for life from wrestling in Maryland for getting color!"

Batman got on my nerves He was running me amok He ridiculed me, calling me a bum I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass I wupped Batman's ass Batman thought he was bad He was a fucking asshole in the first place He got knocked to the floor

Living in the night 'Neath heavens torn asunder You call on me to solve a crooked rhyme As I'm closing in Imposing on your slumber You call on me as bells begin to chime Are you on the square? Are you on the level? Are you ready to swear right here, right now

I've got an old episode of Mid Atlantic on, and I would never normally admit this....but I really needed to see Bugsy McGraw cutting a weird promo where he sounded high as a giraffe's asshole right now.

I never know what to say when a wrestler dies. But i'll say this... There's a strong chance that there was a little kid at All Out last night who thought PAC was the coolest wrestler ever. Because of that, that kid will be taking their grandchildren to wrestling one day. #PAC

Managed to get a little teeny eight inch racer snake out of the house today without acting like a child about it and now i'm all like...

So I'm watching the Clash with THAT Sid/Nightstalker match.......my god, the Motor City Madman is one of the worst professional wrestlers I have ever seen.

I am just gonna go ahead and say it, one of the five greatest promos of the 1980s was Nelson Royal sitting around the campfire telling everyone how dangerous the Bunkhouse Stampede is.

Boy, if there is one thing that I just noticed about a political post I deleted, and the several people I just blocked....that some people are just goddamn stupid.

Had a person I just said fuck it and blocked for basically saying that everyone in that area deserved to drink PFAS contaminated water because the area voted in favor of trump in 2024. As if everyone voted for him, buncha assholes saying it.

And these gas prices are going to hit the folks in small northern counties the most. For example, towns like Oscoda and Harrisville in Iosco are 20-25 miles from the nearest Walmart. So if something beyond a grocery store purchase needs to be made, they now have to shell out more in gas to get it.

Like I haven't watched Taxi since the 90s when it was on Nick at Nite. But I got that goddamn box set because if I do wanna watch it I don't want to sit through two minutes of ads for cholesterol meds.

You wanna know why over the past six years I have been amassing a physical media collection, not to mention the shit on external drives? SHIT LIKE THIS

Sometimes my brain will whisper "You debated getting into a fight with Jamie Dundee when he wouldn't stop asking what crime you committed to make the judge force you to join the Navy"

The Ⓐtomic Ⓔlbow@garbageskeleton.skin

Sometimes my brain will just whisper “Maria Menounos had a match at WrestleMania” to me and I have to sit down a think about that for a minute.

True story: I was in LA for Mania 21, and after the Hall of Fame ended my friend and I were getting off an elevator as Akebono and his handlers were getting on. Soon as the door closed, I looked at my friend and said, "We just dodged a fucking bullet didn't we?"

I kinda wanna know what his opinion is on the theory that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle sent that guy to punch Harry Houdini for Houdini's work in debunking mediums.

RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"

I'm nobody famous. I'm nobody important on a national scale. I wrote this yesterday just to get it out of my head to get through the day today. I think what scared me most on 9/11 was the thought of what my part might have to be in the response.
