- I don’t know how the Baron does it but recently I have been having a hard time to find
something that pisses me off or excites me, that will matter to you my loyal readers. I could
go on and on about the horseshit that is the red tape and bureaucracy of working for a state
university but I feel that I would only be reaching to the small audience of my good friends
Rick and Greg. So for the end of the month article (apologies for my tardiness - Deke) here are
some small items of interest from the Train…
Item number one pisses me off to no end. Saved by the Bell is on adult swim, I hated that
damn show when it was first on and now it has invaded my nightly filling of Futurama, Family
Guy, and Aqua Teen. I want funny toons doin' wacky shit that makes me laugh from Adult
Swim. True I am not in my early 20’s so there is no adolescent spanker nostalgia for me
involved with this show, for that I had Belinda Carlisle and not pop queen Belinda but early
Go-Go’s singing "Skidmarks on my Heart" Belinda.
Damn, I look at that shit show and see all the people that pissed me off in high school. Not
everyone could be as blessed as I was in those days to own an Ian Dury and the
Blockheads T-shirt, hell or even know that the beloved Belinda was in the Germs as their
drummer. If u guys need knowledge on these fine bands please talk to Greg.
As for something on the TV that makes me happy pro wrestling. Yes I know how can I in the
paragraph above call Saved by the Bell a big piece of steaming shit and right here sing the
praises of so called sports-entertainment. I have no explanation but I like what I like.
Seriously tho check out what is going down on TNA these days some really old skool
hardcore shit. WWE takes them seriously enough to bring back ECW this fall full time. As
for big developments in the WWE, the Train’s magic 8 ball is pointing to yes for a return of
Degeneration-X. HHH is being funny as hell and makin' sex jokes again and since
Wrestlemania HBK has been throwing the crotch chops and a few well placed “Suck It!”
Live on the stage entertainment news brings us to, Cirque du Soleil’s new show at the
Mirage hotel in Las Vegas. The show is called Love and is Cirque wackiness inspired by the
music of the Beatles. It was done in collaboration with the late George Harrison using the
original tapes from the recording sessions at Abbey Road. It should be a good show from
all reports.
As for a report on what’s new in film these days I must say I am a failure in this area and
have not been to the movies in quite some time. I did get some viewing done over at Da
Mommaz abode and finally saw Dodgeball and The Wedding Crashers. If you are lookin' for
a good laugh I highly recommend these two choices.
As per usual I close with the gaming update:
Kingdom Hearts: Done, I finished and got the special bonus video, I did not do 100% of the
extra content but am satisfied with my gameing experience. This is a mile marker for me
because it is the 1st console RPG I have finished since FF9.
Robotech Battlecry: Sadly has fallen to the wayside lately… I need to get back on that.
Star Wars Empire at War: A fun RTS full review coming soon to this space, I need to digest it
some more.
40K: Space Wolf Scouts coming nice, 10man Blood Claws have been primed and have a
base coat of shadow grey on them. (See a discussion on painting them here. -Deke)
Confrontation: 1 big ass wolf guy down
Next Month: B-Train’s big summer movie preview… or movies that will make Otto go “That
is so awesome.”
Till then,
B
