OLD THREAD: Favorite Tag Teams and General Discussion

 I actually liked writing the jobber thread, so I'm gonna continue with the general theme and do favorite tag teams (and yes, I know Pi$$y will have some kind of perverted answer.... Sigh).

The Golden Era of wrestling is often considered the best tag team period in the history of the business.  You had so many teams, so many legendary teams, who also had members who went on to singles greatness.  Even the thrown together teams were pretty big deals. 

Teams like the Hart Foundation, the Rockers, Demolition, the British Bulldogs, the Road Warriors/Legion of Doom was still going strong, the Killer Bees, Strike Force, the Can-Am Connection, the Dream Team, the Wild Samoans, the Powers of Pain, Bundy and Studd, the Twin Towers, Natural Disasters, Rhythm and Blues, Power and Glory, Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, the Nasty Boys, the Moondogs Rex and Spot......   So many teams were in the spotlight.  Hell, one of the most popular were a women's Japanese import, and one of my favorites: the Jumping Bomb Angels.

There were great teams before and after that time period, too, don't get me wrong.  The Rock N Roll Express, Midnight Express, the Fabulous Freebirds, the Von Erichs, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard of the Four Horsemen, Ivan and Nikita Koloff, the Briscoes (both versions), Doom, the Steiner Brothers, Harlem Heat, Dory and Terry Funk, Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas, DX, Edge and Christian, the Hardy Boys, the Dudleys, FTR, the Young Bucks, the New Day, etc etc.  But the landscape of tag team wrestling was the most bountiful, imo, back in the 80s/90s and closely followed by the Attitude Era. 

I could drone on longer, but I've probably already bored any non-rasslin' fans enough by now. So who were/are your favorite tag teams?  What matches stand out to you? Gimmicks?  Presence?

Discuss that, and any other damn thing, in this here thread.

OLD THREAD: Christmas Food, Decorations, and Miracles. And General Discussion.

Image
 Well, we have a three topic Christmas thread this week.  Food, decorations, and miracles. First off, Christmas food.  There are so many different Christmas foods, recipes, and candies, it would be difficult to make a satisfactory list.  I mean, you have the staples from Thanksgiving like turkey, ham, stuffing, etc, but also roast goose, Christmas cookies, cakes, pies, gingerbread, eggnog, figgy pudding, regional fare, the list goes on and on.  Heck, you even have entire baking and cooking show episodes dedicated solely to Christmas themed recipes (insert Great British Baking Show plug here). I'll just let the comment section handle the specifics.  Moving on to decorations, this is a longstanding holiday tradition. Of course you have the traditional Christmas tree, ornaments, stockings, and such, but you also have houses and yards adorned with lights and lawn ornaments of all types, and even local businesses dedicating their grounds to drive through Christm...

OLD THREAD: SPAM-A-MANIA 2: SPAM HARDER and General Discussion

Image
Well, I got stuck at work because the new custodian wound up being a fucking dipshit so I don't have a lot of time or energy to dive into a topic.   So............   Because of that we're just gonna have a free for all again.   SPAM-A-MANIA 2! We all know how this goes.  And, honestly, it's basically the same as any other day of random conversations, just without a specific topic to add to the discussion.  So without further a-dieu (to paraphrase Kenny Omega), get on it, get wild, get crazy, and talk about shit as only the Garden can. Because we're so fucking awesome.

OLD THREAD: Christmas Music and General Discussion

Image
 Well, it's time to move on from one mainstay of the holidays to another, from Christmas movies to Christmas music. I loves me some Christmas music.  Christmas music is as synonymous to the season as mistletoe and jolly old Saint Nick himself.  Most of them are great and never get old, but there are one or two that people have admitted they are tired of hearing (cough Mariah Carey cough cough). One of my personal all time favorites is the Jimmy Durante Frosty the Snowman.  That version rules. Now I could sit here and list songs all day, from White Christmas to Hark the Herald Angels Sing to Jingle Bells to a Christmas in Hollis to the album A Twisted Christmas.....  but instead I'll simply post a few tunes. What are some of your favorite Christmas tunes?  Drop some of em here, and also talk about errything else.
