(OLD THREAD) Night of the Living Thread: Now with more cowbell.

Welcome to the new and improved Pandemonium in the Garden! Now with more cowbell! Accept no substitutes. 

The people have spoken, and their voices were heard. There will be no separate watch party threads.

Johnny Cocaine reiterated a point that I started thinking about more seriously, and that was the issue of interrupting conversation flow by moving to a different thread for a few hours. 

I get it. My idea works better when it's a bigger site, where some people might want to stay and chat about general topics, and others might want to focus on the show they're watching.

And since the traffic didn't exactly skyrocket right outta the gate, then errbody in the main thread was actually like minded and discussed all of the same things anyway.

So here we are. One thread, fridge is in the mancave so you don't have to go to the kitchen for a beer, that sort of thing. The only separate thread will be for ppv predictions.

So let's get this place back on track, moving forward, gaining momentum, and building the main idea behind it all, which is a positive, fun room for people to congregate.

Plus, we have punch! Cam snuck in and spiked it with Buckfast, but hey, it's all good in the hood, home skillet.

Old Thread: Favorite (and least favorite) finishing move names. And, of course, general discussion.

Image
 So I'm chit chatting during Collision, and this week's topic popped into my head after making a comment.  Finishing moves (or wrestling move in general).  More specifically the names.  Some finishing moves have great, catchy names that relate to the wrestler and the gimmick.  The one that first popped into my head was the Honky Tonk Man's Shake, Rattle, and Roll.  Catchy. Relevant. Fits. Another one is the Sharpshooter used by one Bret "The Hitman" Hart.  Sharpshooter because he's a hitman, natch. Skull Crushing Finale.  Rock Bottom. Stone Cold Stunner. Rude Awakening.  Avalanche (even though I don't know what an avalanche has to do with King Kong, it's a great name for the move). The Jackhammer. The Money Shot. Spinaroonie. Claymore. Perfect Plex.  I'll even concede the Pedigree. So the intro topic is simple. What finishers - or even regular moves in general - have your favorite names?  Or are your favorite moves in general? Which are the worst i

OLD THREAD: Old school video games, board games, and general discussion

Image
 So I decided to lump board games together with old school video games.  Why?  Why the fuck not.  When I mention "old school" video games, I'm talking old school.  As in Sega Genesis, original NES, Super NES, N64, Atari, ColecoVision, Intellivision, PS1.  PS2, tops. So many awesome games to discuss, like Super Mario. Duck Hunt. Bubble Bobble. Gauntlet. Tetris. Rampage. Pac Man. Donkey Kong. Asteroids. Dig Dug. Burgertime. Pitfall. Frogger. Qbert. Mappy. PGA Tour 96. Sonic. Mario Golf.  Just to name a few. Moving on to board games (for our more older heads), there are so many great games that have been played over the years and still are.  Monopoly, Sorry, Trouble, Trivial Pursuit, Chutes and Ladders, Scrabble. Checkers. Chess. Connect Four.  Uncle Wiggily.   Speaking of chess, I would be remiss not to mention Hnefatafl, a viking chess game that SciFi Jim just recently mentioned in our thread.  This genre of games can even include things like Yahtzee, Dominoes, and Uno, be

Old Thread: The Heart of Rock and Roll

Image
 The heart of rock and roll is still beatin'!  At least in this person's mind. I love listening to old school music.  Namely the 80s.  I listen to it pretty much on a daily basis.  I like me some 90s, too, and some 60s and 70s, and early 2000s.   After that I pretty much tuned out with the exception of a fad hit here and there (What Does the Fox Say, Gangnam Style), or a recently discovered band that surprised me that I wound up enjoying (Blue October, Alestorm). But my go to is the 80s.  Pop, hip hop, hair bands, even a bit of country from that era (such as Eddie Rabbitt).  I can cue up some 80s and it just elevates my mood. So, the theme of the week is music.  Drop the YouTube of a song in the room and tell the story (if there is one) of why it means something and/or how you came across it.   From the mainstream to obscure gems, discuss and share some of your favorite tunes!
