OLD THREAD: Free For All!

 

So I worked every shift my second straight weekend and, to be brutally honest, I didn't have time to come up with a new thread idea.

I also had some extra shit to deal with, outside of work. 

It happens, don't give me shit. 

We'll have a new assistant starting this week, and that should help take some of the load off so I'll get back to topics next thread.

So, yeah, this is basically the "general discussion" thing amped up in a thread.  Yeah, it's a quick, lazy fix.  But it's definitely warranted with the recent craziness that's been going on lately.

So let's do the damn thing.  Rasslin, movies, music, memes, porn, whatever.  Go nuts (but not too nuts).  😆

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...

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 inclu...

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!
