I’m not sure why.

Last post for awhile, I swear.
Kyle, Figure four leglock
The wrestler using this move stands over the opponent who is lying on the mat, face up and grasps a leg of the victim. The wrestler then places their leg in between their opponent’s legs, turns 180 degrees over the leg and grasps the other leg, crossing them as he does so and falls to the mat, applying pressure to the opponent’s crossed legs with his own.
This move was made popular as the finishing move of all of the Nature Boys (Ric Flair, Buddy Rogers etc.) It was also used by Greg "The Hammer" Valentine and Jeff Jarrett.

How did I know it would be a wrestling thing? My parents refused to allow me to watch wrestling as a child, and it has resulted in mildly awkward social situations throughout my life.
Somewhat funny story: On my 10th birthday, I decided on a plan of action. I would ask for wrestling figures. When I got them, I could argue that their purchasing the toys would constitute their agreement that wrestling wasn’t all that bad, and then they’d let me watch it.
Did it work? Nope. And not only that, but I think they purposely kicked sand in my face by purchasing only the wrestling ring and one figure – Jake the Snake. So throughout the year I was forced to make Jake fight the Snake. The Snake usually won.
On a related note, I just heard "I am a real American" for the first time ever about 3 weeks ago. When a friend of mine started singing it, I asked what the hell that was about, and he looked at me like I’d just pissed rainbows in bags of Skittles and sold them to kids.
My parents were jerks.
holy fuck, spend a couple months not touching computers and x-e’s got another contest. I was planning on going and getting nice and shitfaced tonight, @ my steady girl’s birthday no less…but I’m seriously thinking I should start working to make that deadline…4 days……what can I do in 4 days! Perhaps it should be something racy….Freddy in a corsett and thigh high stockings?

Dokken’s Dream Warriors music video would be a welcome addition to last years Alice Cooper Man Behind the Mask video.
Another Idea: A review of all the Halloween Little Debbies. My Fav are the Pumpkin Filled cookies.
I went to Taco Bell the other day and tried their exclusive Baja Blast Mountain Dew. Tasted like a combination of MD and Lime Kool-Aid. Wasn’t bad but Pitch Black 2 ROCKS.

Hmmm. Just sitting here getting wasted on Vodka, reading the posts. Never heard "real American"? Let me tell you something brother – Drink more vodka, eat taco bell and drink old Kool-aid!

I just finished watching "Night of the Creeps" Wow. That would’ve been a good X-E Saturday night thread movie.

George Bush is an asshole.
Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/10/2005 11:49 PM
Of course. We’re all trying to have fun, talk about wrestling, talk about Nightmare on Elm Street 3, and tell stories about Taco Bell, and someone has to bash President Bush. I’m not saying which side of the fence I sit on politically, but the idea is to have fun, not get political… Brother!!!
Chestnuts roasted by Bludge @ 09/11/2005 12:00 PM
Well you know Mean Gene, there’s a lot of talk about how our president is an asshole, dude. Let me tell you something brother! All the Hulkamaniacs don’t like when a pencilneck geek talks bad about the president of the greatest nation in the world, brother! This skinny little poindexter dude better say his prayers and take his vitamins, brother! Cause whatcha gonna do brother? Whatcha gonna do when these 26 inch pythons, the red, white, and blue, and Hulkmania run wild on you!!!
Not a Bush supporter, just figured it’d be fun to write a Hogan promo and I figure that’s what he’d say.

disgruntled: that was hilarious!!
Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/11/2005 12:35 PM
Anyone see that infomercial for that natural cures book by Kevin Trudeau? That guy is a friggin nutcase!!!!!!!!
Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/11/2005 12:36 PM
Thanks phunqsauce. Anything to put a little humor into the night.
Chestnuts roasted by Disgruntled Spam @ 09/11/2005 12:38 PM
IHAQ my mom is fan of that show. I can’t really get into it’s too outdated for me.
I have only 1 wrestling figure now, John Cena. I haven’t had the time or money to get a new one. He wrestles silly things like my Kimberly figure and pikachu. :p
Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 09/11/2005 12:46 PM
He claims to have the cure for different kinds of cancer in his book. I’m sure the way he words it makes it legal for him to say this because it probably more of a guide to proper nutrition or something. I don’t know…click on the link on my name and watch the infomercials….
Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/11/2005 12:47 PM
That guy (Trudeau) is a nutcase. Anything for a buck.
Chestnuts roasted by T-Hohs @ 09/11/2005 12:51 PM
Holy Crap Kyle, first you’ve never seen "Bogus Journey" and now you didn’t watch wresting as a kid? If your skittles reference wasn’t so damn funny, I’d rip you a little more. Next thing you know, you’re going to tell us that you’ve never seen the Garbage Pail Kids movie.
As for you Disgruntled – that was freakin’ perfect. Thanks for the laughs everyone.

I just spent my Saturday night watching Dead Poet’s Soceity for the first time. I now want to be an English teacher.
Click on my name to see the finest local late night commercial ever. It is for Norton Furniture and features Marc Brown and a lot of strange statues that he actually has in his store!!!

I got nothin’ to say tonight, other than I better get working on my Art Contest entry before Matt sees his eleven-billionth "movie monster in awkward situation" drawing and gets tired of the joke, thereby finding no more of them funny.
Anybody seen that infomercial that’s making the rounds now with Erik Estrada trying to sell you on buying property at Hot Springs Village, Arkansas? It’s hilarious.
"And it’s only 5 miles away from being as big as San, Fran, SIS-co!"

Not sure what the Figure 4 is but I’m sure it’s well deserved. Thanks for looking out for me, homey.
