Hello, boys and girls. Not much stuff this time, but let’s make due with what we have.
RAW is SNORE
I have passed through a tape of this week’s RAW and was sorely bored out of my mind. The minute I pushed the play button, I see Bischoff read words off the Titantron… yay. Not even Kane’s freaky (bad pun) title win was enough to salvage what was essentially a non-eventful show. To say that I was more enlightened by Martha Stewart Living repeat airing than a live RAW is not a good thing… Perhaps if you dropped the three-minute act, things would get better. Until then, I’ll stick with my Nitro video game, thanks.
For some odd reason…
For some reason, I am in a hockey pool… yeah, me… the guy who doesn’t follow hockey much, is in a hockey pool… what is the matter with me, people?
Halloween
We are weeks away from October 31, the day where a bunch of kids dress up in ridiculous costumes and impress other old folks to give them either stale candy, melted chocolates, or for the lucky bastards, some fresh alcohol. Although we don’t do it anymore because our block doesn’t have many kids around, we didn’t give away that crap; we gave away peanuts… literally. We gave bags of peanuts and the kids never said a word…
It was bound to happen
Since 1999, I was hesitant to watch it. I managed a few peeks, but couldn’t get myself to sit through the whole thing. Perhaps it was because it could be pretty crappy or at least crappier than the real thing… Folks, yours truly, had just recently rented that dreaded “Ready to Rumble” movie! My fears were confirmed, it is a bad movie… I would like to say that the movie was three minutes too long, but quite frankly, three minutes of this trifle is too much…! Wait a minute… did I just say three minutes?!
[Rosie and Jamal show up]
ROSIE: Where’s Uncle Eric?
DAVE: What? He’s not here, guys. Sorry.
JAMAL: So why did you say three minutes?
DAVE: I did say 3 minutes, but only in my commentary for the website.
JAMAL: Oh, but we have to beat up on someone.
ROSIE: It’s in our rulebook.
DAVE: Say, did you watch that “Ready to Rumble” flick?
JAMAL: Yeah, that was some shitty-ass movie.
ROSIE: Hey I know, let’s beat up on David Arquette.
JAMAL: I don’t know. It wouldn’t be fair to beat up a defenseless guy.
DAVE: He’s not defenseless. He’s a ONE-TIME WCW CHAMPION!
JAMAL: Oh yeah. Let’s kick that little punk’s ass!
[Rosie and Jamal leave]
Note: if you didn’t get that last bit, it’s all fiction.
(2024 Dave Says: David Arquette would eventually have a short run as a wrestler. No kidding. They even made a doc about it.)
Well, that’s it. I’ll have some more stuff next time.
Until then, folks…
