Thought this was another Ferrari thread.

Let's discuss what the Bob button actually means. When you respond with the Bob Dole, what are you actually communicating to someone when you respond with it?

We work hard as posters. Bob & Du are making a lot of ad coin off our backs. Sure Bob gives us some nice stuff but if we unionize we can demand the things we really need and want. First item: 25 minutes to edit posts. C'mon @BobDole or we're gonna strike. Who's with me?!

I really enjoyed the BTN's featurette on Ramos. You've probably seen it, but I thought I'd post the video anyway. I'm pulling for Ayala but Ramos seems like a good kid. Respect also to Spencer for taking the interview. Getting it out there probably helps him to move on and maybe keeps the fire lit inside.

A working document that will be filled up over the weekend, of course. https://wrestlingbypirate.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/police-blotter-conference-championships-edition/

You want words. First I gave you a lower case tds cause it looked like TDS by association not the full blown TDS but nonetheless disappointing. Repeating untruths propagated by those with full blown TDS looks like a mild case of tds, if it quacks ... There's no evidence Trump is pulling strings. The house Republicans were never going to bring up a bill with 8.5k daily encounters or 5.0k avg daily for entire week as the trigger point for turn backs. It has nothing to do with Trump. Moreover, the bill doesn't solve the problem, there has to be enforcement. At this point there is no commitment to enforcement save the individual states. Now regarding Senator Britt, I had plenty of issues with her presentation but did like presenting some facts. To the first, moms up late worrying about all the stuff they have to do the next day AND get dinner on the table. Its not the 60s anymore, we haven't lived in the 60 for like 60 years! But similar with good ole working class Joe and Scanton PA, what year was that who cares? That said, Britt wasn't talking to old grumpy men, her target was young folk and women. Kind've like same reason Kamala was sitting (and jumping) behind the President.

Just going to post this here for my international brethren. I crap on my wife's son, I guess my step-son , all the time for not getting out in the real-world and doing real things. (Kids a gamer who can't bench 80lbs at 17years old.) But I have to admit, sitting online and talking nonsense with a bunch of water-heads all day about whether wrestler A is superior to wrestler B based on who stepped out with 4 seconds left in the match, brings me entirely too much joy.

Hey Champ, WrestleStat guy here. Can you tell me which page this is so I can track it down? Also, what's your league name? You can send me an email directly if you don't want to post here: andegre@wrestlestat.com

I think you’ve gone far enough with this fakery. There was no need of a senate border bill, there was a perfectly good house bill sent to the senate last year. Lankford played McConnell’s puppet as they tried to cobble together funding for Ukraine. As details leaked out conservatives voiced their opposition. One of the unconstitutional aspects was a rule that it couldn’t be changed until after 2026. Trump didn’t advise against it because it was a benefit to him, he opposed it because it was a bad law. If the house was to shut down the government to get their bill passed by the Senate, Trump would support them because it is a good law. You are so afflicted with TDS that you think a good economy is when prices have doubled and wages have increased, for some, by nine percent. Your credibility is shot.

Wait, what's IOMV?

Round of 16 complete. - Binghamton advances 3 - #11 Seeds to the Quarters - 50 of the 53 AQ wrestlers advance to the Quarters 1. Cornell - 21.5, 2. Lehigh - 20.5, 3. Penn - 19.5

Yet you still chirp.

Every single one of those jack wagon posts should have election year fine print that says "This message endorsed by the People For Pyles Super PAC"

I'm assuming that is "Lincoln" Riley? He wouldn't have even mentioned it if MTG wouldnt have heckled him. I like her.

Unfortunately, few. It comes down to a few issues. What they believe and why. If the why is something they can't or won't explain, then we have a problem. They are either being dishonest to me or themselves. Either way we're not having a real discussion. They are not capable of changing their mind because they can't tell me how they got there in the first place.

Maybe these people whining and complaining should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, make weight, and qualify 57/65 themselves if they don't like the results.

He is pretty bad at being a decent human being.

My father and stepfather were both Marine veterans of the Korean War. My stepfather had a USMC with the Marine symbol: eagle, globe, and anchor, tattooed on his left upper arm. He was one of those guys that got into weight training during the 50/60s and really had some jacked arms, and that "tat" was pretty intimidating. My step dad was a bad ass. Believe me, I know, when he told me not to pick on my sister or there would be consequences, there was. We lived in urban KC when I was growing up and there was a tavern on the corner that my parents frequented often. I once saw my step dad put those popeye arms into action in a "little disagreement" in the tavern. My youth was never boring. As dad eventually lived into his 70's and his muscles atrophied and shrank, that tat didn't age too well, but the legacy behind the tat left a lifetime impression.

Too late...

Never thought you'd be one to catch the tds infection. They'll be a vaccine soon.

brother you're too kind. I just checked with the missus and she reminded me we took the red eye which means - its a great time afterall! We arrive back home at lunch time. False alarm.

But it is a new year. Our 2023 reps at 57 and 65 did not earn USA a spot in the Olympics at 2023 worlds. They should have to compete for the right to be the rep at 2024 Pan Am OG qualifier. USA did a good thing with allowing medalists to challenge, but it didn't work. Most opted out. So let's change that to Senior Nationals. World team member from previous year gets the 1 seed. I do not think moving trials to before Pan Ams is ever going to happen, so I prefer the idea of making Senior Nationals the qualifier

I don’t see it, am I the idiot here?

Some of the best wrestlers have no tattoos and, while to each is own, a blank canvas of skin to me is usually a preferable way to go. Clean arms, legs. and torso with the focus on the sport not on the decorations or distractions. I could be wrong but I don't recall seeing them on Taylor, Retherford, Nolf, Nickal, Cenzo, Nick Lee, or Levi Haines -- yes, Penn State guys. I also don't remember seeing them on Stieber, Cael Sanderson, Dake, Pat Smith or Yianni. All 4 timers. If you get a face tattoo, you have likely chosen to be an outcast or pariah for life (Mike Tyson) or a character in Moby Dick (Queequeg). Hmm. Which wrestlers have the worst (or most cliche-ridden) tats?

bruv where in england were you

Is it just me or does "Wrestling Tats" always seem to look like 'Wrestling Twats'? Maybe it's the time I spent in England. Or the time I spent watching Ted Lasso. Or maybe I need new glasses.

As an Ohio guy, I'm all for Shawver. Lost his senior HS season to COVID. Projected 126 DI champ ahead of Agin(Duke) and Blaze(Purdue). ". Agin was ranked #1 to end the season, but I decided to go with Shawver because of his better overall production on the national level. Shawver, a Rutgers commit, and Agin, a Duke commit, are both three-time state placers."

MAGA is a tricky word. Some, like me, appreciate the MAGA slogan, but this is not the same as red-hat MAGA. I've never met a red-hat-wearing MAGA, but I know many people with TDS. I don't believe I've met anyone who likes Trump, but I know many who respect his policies and business background. TDS is a blue uncontrollable contagion. MAGA is contained.

I always wanted a tattoo, but was too much a perfectionist to figure out which one. As the years passed, I ultimately identified I was beyond the point of getting a tattoo without sending out a symbolic S.O.S to my people

Really enjoy the tattoo talk. Got a cute butterfly on the small of my back to help me feel pretty.

Theoretically speaking, if someone were to have an opinion that tattoos not a good choice. And that I think they are awful, and I freakin' hate everything about them. In your view, what would be the advisable way for this, theoretical, person to follow up in this thread?

Yah, but what's it called?

A flight that departs at night and arrives the next morning...

I'm glad to have you all to square things away for me...

Hey man - the tournament is the following week in case you were wondering

I think my favorite part was when Sen. Langford responded to Biden saying Trump killed the border bill for political purposes by nodding his head and saying, "It's true."

Katie Britt's acting classes are paying off. (Read that with a quiver in your voice).

I was born the son of a poor share cropper, played pro ball. First in my class at Harvid.

Quoting this so they’re all in a row. These times are Central The brackets for all 10 weight classes can be found here

it was over the line, i admit. but if you think i actually meant his living breathing wife and that it was not euphemism you might want to reconsider. as if i even know his wife or if he has one.

My runner up in this category is Zach Glazier. He went from the bench to giving Aaron Brooks a real match and going into Bigs with only that 1 loss. Plus he beat the Ford Pinto.

GWN - another post without talking about the subject at hand. what don't you get? i don't care if you think i'm an idiot or call me an idiot. what i do care about is that that is all you do. you never, ever, have a point. are you sure you're not Ban Basketball's side bitch?
