ack, and I just know that they're gonna blame it on videogames and rock music instead of actually do something about the real problems X(

Unlucky chum. However, I'm a little concerned that a (still tragic) slapstick story like this makes the news in a completely different country to where it happened.

Heh.. everyone knows that Palin being the mother of a pregnant teenage daughter who was going to be unwed in a place like America with so many christian extremists seriously damaged her campaign... this is completely expected by me especially when seeing a program the other day, addmitedly it was about extreme fishing, that featured Sarah Palins neighbours in her home town in Alaska, and they were saying they only put up with her because she was the state governer...

I've not really followed Wrestling since I was a kid and it was the days of Hulk Hogan when he first came onto the scene, Ultimate Warrior, Legion of Doom and Andre the Giant...

Sad that another pro wrestler died prematurely, sure, but Test was one of your favorites? He had no charisma and no real wrestling ability. He was tall and had a good physique, sure, but in the WWE everyone's like that...

LSD - that was right here in Tampa, too.

I intended to post this a few days ago, but kept forgetting to look it up online. A very scary fact... Beastiality is not illegal in Florida (yet). *cringes* This was very disturbing to find out.

nonono, you missed the funny part about that story. They are trying to pass a law to outlaw beastiality (why do they feel they need to? Is this a real problem in Florida?), and one of the state senators didn't understand why there was a caveat allowing for animal husbandry. I'm paraphrasing here, but the senator basically said "So, people are marrying their pets? Is that why that woman up in Connecticut was so upset when the police had to shoot her monkey?" :))

JMac: Yeah, he was. Mind you, as a patriotic Canadian, I strongly support my boys, so Test was definitely up there. That, and he was awesome to meet in person. Sure, he was no Shawn Michaels or Mick Foley, but still.
Kinda helps that I stopped watching WWF/E several years ago, so I still remember him as a decent mid-carder. (Post- McMahon-HelmsleyOMGWTFJUSTHAPPENED shock.)

DnE... That... Ehhh... Eeeww...
