Damn. I love me some Lars Von Trier films, but I shudder to think what that man gets up to in his personal life. I will probably believe any perverse rumor I hear about that man — he reeks “creepy”.

Hell, even Bjork hated her experience working with him so much that she went so far as to vow to NEVER act in a film…

I did that for awhile, too.

I’m from Philly originally, but spent my college/20s in NYC. Got sick of the rising Manhattan apartment rents at the age of 30-ish and moved back to Philly and found a a much cheaper (and nicer) apartment near 30th st. station where you can catch the Amtrak. Only did the commute for a few…

Glad the Amish breakfast worked out.

Maybe a better rule for cheesesteaks is: “ask a local who will recommend a place in a residential neighborhood and one not in the central business district (Center City) where it’s so touristy”.

These special neighborhood spots are usually very low key, “no-frills” looking places.…

Native Philly Guy, here.

The best authentic cheesesteaks are the ones you find in the neighborhood local joints (or “jawns”, if you speak Philly-ese). A good rule of thumb to abide by is to “not go where the tourists go” — so the crap tourist traps like Pat’s or Geno’s that they show on TV everytime Sunday/Monday Night…

And he re-injured Bobby Heenan’s (already very injured) neck by not protecting him on a gorilla press slam and botching the move!

All the horrible things he said and the fact that he was a terrible worker who never sold for anyone and was dangerous in the ring already made me hate him; but if you’re hurting Bobby…

“Our friendship never recovered. Whether that’s sad or not, I don’t know.”

I would never presume to tell a stranger whether or not the loss of friendship was a “sad” or “not sad” thing — but, I will say that from reading your account and never having met you, I would 1000% rather be your friend than to know the person…

“16. Checkers,
18. Backgammon.”

I feel like Backgammon is getting a bit hosed here.

Chess clearly destroys both of them, but as far as games that go back thousands of years, Backgammon is far superior. I feel like Checkers is getting the rub here because it’s easier to learn when you’re 5 years old. But you don’t have…

A WINNER IS YOU +1

Oh god, Audrey....

I’m very much okay with the gut-punch of the final ending.

I’m a little sad at not knowing for sure that Shelly’s daughter was probably killed by her no-good husband and Shelly doesn’t even know it yet, but I think we all know it’s probably a tragedy.

I’m okay with not knowing exactly WHAT IN THE HELL…

As far as the Rock goes, they only put him into the Nation of Domination (AKA: the “Black-themed” gimmick) once the whole Rocky Maivia “blue-chipper” babyface gimmick had failed spectacularly and the Attitude Era crowds were chanting “DIE, ROCKY, DIE” at him. The fans hated it. Everyone saw it. The office saw it.…

UPDATE:

I owe you an apology, @SHough; I think I completely misread your comment and went off on a rant on you (with my 3:35am comment below that I just tried to edit in vain).

I’ve since read a few of your other comments on this thread, and I believe that we’re both on the same side of this whole conversation.…

“Titus has...equal ring skills” to Randy Orton?!

Man, I hope you’re only an online troll. Because if you’re honestly claiming that Titus — a charismatic semi-pro football player who first broke into the business in his early-30s and has maybe 4 rudimentary wrestling moves that he can reliably perform — is an “equal”…

Amen. All of what you said.

“You can donate to the Red Cross to help those impacted by the hurricane right here.”

I’m sure your intentions are pure, but the Red Cross has been historically bad at disaster relief. Your donations are likely not going to help in ways that you hope they would’ve been.

I wish I had some kind of a normal explanation for that background. “Cave” works, I guess.

All I can say is that these were some dark days and that Professional Wrestling had become truly lost during this time period.

(And also, these men are straight up wearing thongs and looking happy about it. WTF.)

“Well Dunn.”

Sorry, but this pictorial response is obligatory.

Yeah, that Pennsyltucky map on the wiki page is pretty generous with how far the sprawl of the Philly/Pittsburgh metro areas extend, county-wise. So Youngwood does seems to fall within a county that, according to the map, is part of Pittsburgh Metro.

But that said, Youngwood is a town of less than 3,000 people. So I…

Pennsyltucky, Baby!
