Wrestling OT/LC Thread: We'll Stop Talking About Star Wars Eventually - Page 325

If anyone is interested and likes 90s rock, I'm running a sheep over in LOLPOG that will likely be revealed tonight:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/5...urday-1718685/

I was looking at that earlier, and despite the fact that I never heard of at least one of those bands, I’ll still probably enter.

I entered, but probably would have abstained on principle if he included Dave Matthews Band.

Reading that list of movies Dwetzel is watching with his daughter made me think of some Aussie ones I would watch with a 15 year old girl. Muriel's Wedding, The Castle and The Big Steal would make the list.

I have finally found somewhere to watch Lucha Underground so will report back my newbie wrestling thoughts.

Definitely liked Season 1 of Glow more I think. Still enjoyed S2 though.

LKJ,

Which one of those two wrestling docos should I watch first?

A very happy birthday to your lovely daughter

I hope you both enjoy the movie. I haven't seen it myself so you'll have to give a review

Well, Resurrection of Jake the Snake appears to be gone from Netflix now, so it would at least cost the $3 from a streaming site to watch, so we can cull that one on that basis since the other two can just be accessed in full on YouTube for free.

I'm inclined toward recommending Wrestling with Shadows between the two.

I gave up at something like the 30% mark of book 3 due to lack of interest. You people need to just let a man quit if he's not enjoying a series.

You are forbidden to give up until you get to Lud and go for a ride on Blaine the Train. You can do it—I believe in you.

Really not trying to inject too much politics here, but

"No alteration in original" is weird. Granted that if there's a way to avoid using a profanity in a professional communication then I will try to find my way there, and if arguing a case in person I will take a second up front to apologize for the profanity and doubly clarify that I'm quoting someone else's words, but if I'm going to go ahead with a verbatim quote then I'm just quoting it raw.

In my jurisdiction we also just say it / write it and it's obviously understood we're quoting someone.

It looks unprofessional to do otherwise, in my opinion.

I could never use f asterisk asterisk asterisk in a written document without feeling like a child.

The craziest thing about this story... in the course of 7 years, dude overdrafted his bank account OVER 1000 TIMES racking up nearly 40 grand in overdraft charges.
