Not saying there couldn't be something sinister going on with absentee ballots. I know people have talked a lot about USPS issues lately, but I've had trouble with them for many, many years, so I just don't trust them any more than I need to.

I think that’s wise. It’s better to be careful. But I’ll be damned, if they fuck with my ballot I will never stop raging. I cannot do another four years of this shit. The cats and I have decided that if it goes to hell, we’re going to join the cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers. Sure there’s a chance I might be cannibalized, but I’m kinda weird looking so they might just think I’m an ugly cat.

I might not be a 7′5-8 foot bald dude, but apparently we both are both viewed as intimidating in general, and scary when angry. 

To be honest when I was younger I was really proud of being thought of as someone not to be messed with. It helped when I was that age, and in some ways it still does now.  When it’s not helpful is when your family believes they have to walk on eggshells around you because “you’re so moody all the time.” I will admit, I am a moody person and I like my alone time, but it’s not as bad as they’d think. Thankfully with family, I can change that perspective by verbally pointing out that I’m not moody because of them, and explaining what the actual cause is. 

In the past, I’ve had a teacher tell me I looked like I wanted to kill someone. All I was doing was sitting there spacing out while thinking of how to write the poem I was writing for Creative Writing. (Probably didn’t help that they’d later find out the poem I was writing was about the cycle of revenge killing. I was a Senior in high school at that time, and it wasn’t super graphic or anything. One of my classmates understood the purpose and tone and liked it. I think everyone else was disturbed a little.) 

My own mom said she was afraid I’d harm someone while working my first retail job. 

Though I’ve had to take punches and hits before, I’ve never punched someone else or engaged in a physical fight from an offensive standpoint. So you can imagine how annoying it can be to have other people think you’re the dangerous one in situations where you’re just existing and minding your own business. 

But one time a guy in class would not listen to me when I told him to leave me alone. This was in high school in my English class…think I was in 10th grade? I gave him a fair enough warning to stop, and when he still didn’t listen, I swung my arm behind me with my hand held in a chop like pose and stopped before hitting his face. It legitimately freaked the guy out and he started trying to tell the teacher that I was “trying to kill him.” The teacher just shrugged but I could tell she knew and maybe even saw what I did, but wasn’t going to do anything disciplinary towards me for it.  

The downside to this similarity with Nappa is I have to explain myself a lot more and use more energy to be viewed as approachable. Though nowadays I get more people on my college campus approaching me for help or to ask a question so I must not be as intimidating looking as I used to be. Might have everything to do with no longer being a person with a lot of pent up anger, resentment and a pretty misanthropic attitude.

29.

What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?

She entered for the first time at the 30th World Martial arts tornament when she was 8. Spoilers: That dream did not come true. Not really out of lack of skill (homie wasn’t outed in her first round lol), but by being outclassed. 

Having set really hopes kinda took a huge blow on her overall optimism after losing, but she’s not the type to give up and she just chose to train even harder. (This happens every time she loses any kind of fight afterwards) Although her intital goal gradually shifted from winning the world martial arts tournament to trying to prove something of herself (whatever that ‘something’ is). She won’t admit that outright, tho. Yantan more or less becomes fixated overcoming her limts rather than accepting them.

So I found out they killed Ramsay Bolton in da TV show. His dogs ate him alive while Sansa watched, and she was like "keep the change ya filthy animal." But he's apparently still alive in da books. My question: How would *you* want to see him killed off when the time comes? What would make a satisfying end for such a depraved monster of a character? Should it be poetic justice, or just quick and absurd, like Diana Muldar falling down an elevator shaft in LA Law?

Well, I think that Ramsay will encounter a man who’s just like him only stronger, because he’s wearing a hat, and they’ll fight, right? And just when you think Ramsay’s gotten this bizarro-Ramsay beaten, he’ll pull out a second hat and it’ll make him even stronger, and wham! down goes Ramsay!

And then we’ll all learn after the fact that this duplicate Two Hats Ramsay was really a Faceless Man who Ramsay hired because, having defeated everyone else who came across him, he decided he really needed to test his strength. Only, darnit, he was hoist with his own petard there, and lost to the power of the hats.

No, but seriously Mike, I do not give a flaming fuck how Ramsay dies. I just want him dead, d-e-a-d dead, how it happens honestly does not matter to me. Eaten by dogs is fine, whatever, but he can fall down a well, he can have the Wall fall on his head, Stannis can cut his head off or burn him, I do not care. I don’t need Ramsay’s death to to be satisfying poetic justice, I just want it to exist at all. If it had happened three books ago all the better, but we can’t have everything alas.

(Also, c’mon Mike, Rosalind Shays wasn’t a depraved monster of a character! You’re confusing me here.)

Did Meltzer say *why* he thought Okada vs. Omega was a six star match? All I've seen is just the rating, but nothing to say what puts it ahead of any other five-star-plus match.

When he was asked about it on Observer Live he basically pointed out he gave five stars to Punk vs. Cena and Omega vs. Naito, and this match was better than either of them, so “you gotta do somethin’.”  Mostly he’s just said that the match “may” be “one of” the greatest in pro wrestling history, which is funny considering that he decided this match was one star better than literally any other match.  Dude likes to equivocate.

He wrote that the match “featured nearly every element of a classic match, from intensity, crowd heat, tremendous psychology, off the charts athleticism, hard hitting, timing, innovation and high risk and dangerous moves.”  He compared it to several other legendary long matches from the last 45 years, saying “this had most of the elements that all of those matches had, but elements they didn’t and really combined the elements they did better.”

This week on Twitter he mentioned this wasn’t the first time he’d gone above five stars–in June 1997 he rated Mitsuharu Misawa vs. Toshiaki Kawada “*****+”, whatever that means.  I went back and found his review, and his reasoning is similarly terse.

I think it’s pretty tough to put into words what makes a match super-great.  Like, which Shawn vs. Undertaker match is best, and why?  It’s usually a lot of little things.  Also, the star rating system invariably leads people to compare apples and oranges.  Dave gave ***** to the first Hell in a Cell match and to CM Punk’s title win in Chicago, but I’d argue those matches have nothing in common besides being great.  It’s tough to isolate any particular quality those matches share, that a ****** match can turn up even further.

Personally, I thought the Okada/Omega was excellent, but not singularly better than other great matches I’ve seen in the past few years, like Nakamura/Zayn or Undertaker/HHH at Mania 27 or that “Please Sign Cedric” match.  I’m psyched about it, and I want to make time to see it again, but it just happened so I’m aware of that bias.  I figure something will happen during Wrestlemania weekend that makes everybody forget about it.  But that’s just it–matches of this caliber seem to be happening more and more often.  Sooner or later the standards for rating these things have to be revised.  Given that Dave’s been rating these things for so long, it’s understandable that he’d be among the first to decide his scale needed an adjustment before it becomes obsolete.

{Send ‘🍌’ to give my muse a banana without saying anything. No context. Just give them a banana. || Open and Accepting!}

Raditz is randomly given a banana. His face is a mixture of emotions. Mostly bewilderment, but of course there’s also a hint of irritation. “Are you trying to insult me?” This question is more of a demand for an answer.

But none is given.

“Tch. You’re lucky I’m hungry...” That’s as close to a thanks as you’ll get out of him since he still isn’t sure if this is a backhanded gift. Raditz still eats it of course. It’s still a perfectly good banana.
