MAIN THREAD: Happy Thanksgiving! And General Discussion

Image
 Well, here we are at another Thanksgiving season at the Garden! I'm sure you know the drill by now. I ramble on about turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, etc etc and also giving thanks for what you have in your life and then tell you to chat about Thanksgiving and anything else you want. Maybe I throw in a bit about Thanksgiving not being such a positive for Native American peoples in the grand scheme of things, but it's evolved past cliche, contradicted images of happy pilgrims and natives sitting around tables full of food into a general sense of giving thanks for family, friends, and life in general.  Hell, I could throw in a few rasslin' related lines about the Gobbledygooker's debut at Survivor Series 1990 just for a few nostalgic laughs. But I guess I'll just go with wishing everybody and theirs a very happy Thanksgiving and hope it's a good one.  Chat about errything Thanksgiving and anything else ya want!   Don't forget to pig out an...

OLD THREAD: Happy Halloween! And General Discussion

Image
 Well, it's that time of year again, time for the spooky season! I'm not gonna go into the history of Halloween, because I believe I already did that last time. No, I didn't go check because I ain't got time to take 30 seconds to scroll down to the last Halloween thread.  😆 Anywho, Halloween has become pretty commercially routine anymore. Not that you need a lot of variations on the basic theme of costumes and candy, but it seems like every year it's the same old Michael Myers and Nightmare Before Christmas shirts and plushes, basic throw blankets, and cheapo novelty makeup and jewelry.  Even the "variety" of masks have become mostly the same thing year after year.  At least in the big box stores, which is where a lot of people have to shop in our current economy. I blame the tariffs.  😏 At least we still have women in skimpy, slutty costumes acting like psychos and using the season as a reason for it.  That's a decent consolation, right? 🤔 But enou...

OLD THREAD: Wildlife Destinations and General Discussion

Image
 We're gonna get a little more grounded here and list some of the best wildlife destinations from around the globe. Every country has some amazing places to experience wildlife and nature in various environments.  It's always enriching to see different types of living creatures in their natural habitats.  Unless they're big and aggressive and chasing you down to maul and/or eat you. But I digress (as our beloved wrestler turned commentator Taz would say). Without further A-dieu, let's list a few. I will be quoting from this site: https://wanderlustphotosblog.com/2019/04/23/the-top-25-wildlife-destinations-in-the-world/   Go check it, and any others out.  It's really well put together and descriptive. If you find a good one, share the link.  The Everglades: "In addition to being one of the most unique ecosystems found in North America, the Everglades is also one of North America’s best wildlife-viewing locations.  Found in the very Southern part of...

OLD THREAD: Women of Wrestling's Asses and General Discussion

Image
 Well......   It was requested and I'm delivering.  Women of wrestling's asses. There have been countless nice asses in women's wrestling.  From Wendi Richter (hey, I liked it back in the day. It was the 80s, ya twats) to Sunny to Velvet Sky to Brooke Tessmacher to Trish Stratus to Rhea Ripley to Skye Blue.  Honestly, there are too many to name and too many pictures to post, but I'll post a nice little collage - let the pigeons loose, if you will, in the goofy words of Taz - and then open the cages, take the leashes off, and let all you sex pests talk about asses to your heart's content. Feel free to talk about and share any other non-wrestling related asses you want to as well and, of course, discuss any other topic you see fit.

OLD THREAD: Wrestling Across the Globe and General Discussion

Image
 I've talked about the 'Murican style of rasslin' a number of times here in the Garden, but pro wrestling is an intertational form of entertainment with roots all across the globe. Of course the American pro wrestling companies are more of an expansive force in general, but many regions have their own ingrained histories in the industry as well with two of the main ones being Japan and Mexico. Wrestling fans are at least slightly familiar with other area's styles (or at least know they're out there), while some other fans regularly follow their product.   Japanese pro wrestling is known for being "strong style", with a focus on a martial arts style of strikes and kicks and quite a bit of "stiff shots" (more forcefully connecting with one's opponent, for all you non fans) and, more recently a higher focus on Joshi wrestling (aka women's wrestling. You want a more detailed description, ask Bass; I'm not writing a novel here). Mexican wr...
