Top 5 annoying people you will find at every online forum/message board

Now in this I refer to each of the five using male terms.But they could be female also.Shit I myself have fallen into some of these categories before.

5.The gif/jpeg guy

You know what I am talking about.Instead of taking the time to type out a reply,they instead reply most of the time with a "witty" gif or jpeg.Which gets super annoying quickly.If you can't take the time to type up a reply,please don't reply.

4.The "Funny" guy

This is the poster that thinks they are mega funny.But really all they do is repeat the same 5 or 6 jokes over and over again.In reality they are about as funny as Sam Kinison is right now.And he has been dead over 20 years.They can never take anything serious.And usually end up just rubbing everyone the wrong way.

3.The shitty troll

A good troll can be entertaining for awhile.But a shitty one just makes you want to reach through the screen and slap them with a large trout.The worst part is when the shitty troll is either good friends with the owners or is made a mod.I watched a great horror forum die because the owners made some shitty trolls mods.

2.Contrary guy

Whatever the popular opinion of the forum is they will swear they believe the opposite.And if you confront them about this they will claim you are trolling them.


1.Hey look at me I am Drunk/high guy

They are always posting about how drunk/high they are.And usually they posting handle has drunk,beer,420 or something like that in it.Sometimes they will even drunk post.I seem to encounter this more often on wrestling forums.Maybe they think they are Steve Austin or Rob Van Dam.

Top 5 comics of my childhood that suck

Like my list of cartoons,this is all about comics I loved when I was a kid.But going back and reading them now I realize how horrible they are.

5.GI Joe

This just barely made the list.The first 8 issues are bad.Then it gets better for about 2 years.Then quickly went downhill and never recovered. And like the cartoon it is one that people swear was great. I don't see it. Out of the entire run there is maybe 10 great issues.And the rest go between passable and total shit.

4.Marvel Team Up

This was one of the comics I would get my mother to drive me to as many stores as it took to find each new issue. Back in 2005 I ordered Essential Marvel Team Up volume 1.Wow what a disappointment.For every good issue there is 20 that suck dead donkey dick.And it was rare that the title had good art.

3.Legion of Super-Heroes

Legion was one of the first DC titles I got every month.In the early 2000s I got a huge run of the series from the late 70s.Which is when I read it as a kid.FUCK! It is so hokey and cheesy.And most of the time the art is bad.

2.Shazam

When this series was coming out in the 70s I was all over it.Then I lost all my issues.So when DC put out the Showcase Presents volume that reprinted most of the run I grabbed it.I was shocked at how bad it was.They totally missed what made the Fawcett Golden Age Shazam stuff so great.

1.Transformers

I clearly remember saving up my allowance to subscribe to this title.So for the first 2 years I read it every month. I have talked about how when I first discovered comic scans I grabbed every issue of Transformers.I sat down and in a week read the entire run. WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL! Bad writing,bad artwork,just all around bad.But I still see comic fans calling this "One of the best comics ever." Please take off those nostalgia glasses.It is badly written and drawn fiction about giant robots punching each other.

Top 5 cartoons of my childhood that suck

There is so many cartoons I loved when I was a kid.That now I have grown up and I go back and re-watch them I realize they suck.

 5.GI Joe a real American Hero

When I was a kid I rushed home every day and would sit there holding onto the rabbit ears so I could watch this cartoon.Once it was off the air I didn't see it until Rhino released the first season on DVD.Holy fuck is this shit.Bad writing,subpar animation and just crap. Sadly there is plenty of people my age that still claim this is a great cartoon.Sorry guys and ladies I truly believe that is just nostalgia coloring your opinion.

4.Masters of the Universe

This was another I rushed home to see.Now I didn't have to hold onto the rabbit ears.Because it aired on a channel I could get with just the rooftop antenna.When BCI put out the first season on DVD I grabbed it the day it went on sale.Fuck this show is total shit.From all the re-used animation. To the shoehorned in moral lessons.But once again you have people talking about it like it was one of the best cartoons of it's era.

3.Voltron

I can clearly remember my Art teacher talking about how bad the animation in this show was.And I argued with him about it.Then what was it almost 10 years ago Adult Swim started rerunning it late at night.I recorded a bunch.The Art teacher was right,the animation is total shit.With certain scenes used in every episode. Plus the stories I remember as being mind blowing when I was 10 or so are so badly done.Full of cliches.

2.Super Friends

By the time I was 5 this was airing every weekday on a local UHF channel.Then every Saturday on ABC IIRC.And being a young comic geek I had to watch it.Then in the late 90s Cartoon Network started rerunning it.And like everything else so far on this list I was majorly disappointed.The villains were all bad.Bad animation,and even the voice acting is bad.I will admit to enjoying the final two seasons.But even them are not that good.

1.Transformers

This is the one that most males my age and a bit young love.And I did when I was a kid.Once again I got the DVDs when Rhino started releasing them. And discovered it has to be one of the worst cartoons of the 80s.Well maybe not the worst,but the worst that gets so much praise.I actually sat down 5 years ago and watched every episode.And there is maybe 3 I found worth a shit.But to most geeks that grew up in the 80s this show is untouchable.

Powerslam Productions Winter Warfare 01/18/2014

Powerslam Productions Winter Warfare 01/18/2014

Friday night Reggie had asked if Dragon and I could be at the show around 6pm. Around 4pm Dragon arrived at my home.



I jokingly asked him where he got the BJ and the Bear hat from. But since he is young he had no idea what I was talking about. We left 30 minutes later. And made it to the Pike County Little Theater around 5:30pm. The doors were not open so we ran to a general store to grab snacks and a drink.

By the time we got back doors were open. We head in grab out tickets and see Reggie has 3 front row seats waiting on us. There was already a big crowd.About 10 minutes before the show started Damien showed up.



Brent came out to get the show started. He is now the commissioner of Powerslam.


Match 1-Princess Kristen Morel vs Mr. Sakitume



Kristen was out first and cut a nice promo.



Mr Sakitume came out. And we started heckling him. I asked him why he stole Blue Panther's mask.


What I loved is there was so much matwork in this match. I know Kristen hasn't been wrestling very long. But she was great. She made her way to the top rope.

Then came off it and locked Mr Sakitume in a sleeperhold.

Finally after a hard fought match Princess Kristen won.

Match 2-Outlaw Matt Lancie with Big Ramp vs Wildcard J.Spade


This was Wildcard's first match in Powerslam.

I love that Perry,Luke Hawx's son,is a ref now. Wildcard put up a great fight. But he couldn't overcome the team of Big Ramp and Lancie. I was damn impressed with Wildcard. And he had the crowd behind him the entire match. As always Lancie was great. He has this intense stiff style that so reminds me of old southern style heels.

Lancie got the win.

Match 3-Socorro vs Danny Flamingo

Socorro is the former Sgt Socorro. He is now out of the army. And has changed his look. He now has a mowhawk like Juice from Sons of Anarchy. Danny is new. But looked so much like Danny Doring of ECW fame. He came out first. And was handing Brett his sunglasses.I yelled out "Hey did you get those gas station glasses at Citco?" And he quickly replied with "Nope Exxon!" Which got a good laugh out of me.

Socorro was his normal great self. Lots of matwork and chain wrestling. And Flamingo impressed me.
Socorro got dumped out of the ring and landed right at our feet.

After a fun back and forth match Socorro won.

Match 4-PSP Tag champs Reggie Matthews/Wes Adams AKA the Alumni with manager Princess Kristen vs Lukas Frost/Kool Jay Steele AKA The Future Foundation with manager Hardbody Harper.


I was happy to see Lukas back in the ring. He had to take a bunch of time off last year because of an injury. Plus it is always fun to heckle Hardbody.

For the first half of the match Frost and Steele keep Reggie cut off from his corner. And beat him down again and again. Then finally Reggie made it to his corner. Made the hot tag and Wes hit the ring and cleaned it out.

The rest of the match was back and forth. Full of some great action. Then current PSP Heavyweight Champion Calvin Rose hit the ring and his interference caused The Alumni to lose their titles. Rose,Frost,Steele and Harper then laid out Wes,Reggie and Kristen.


After the match intermission started. After a quick trip to the bathroom we stood around talking to various people we see at every show.

Match 5-Luke Hawx vs Purple Haze

I was wondering if this would be face vs face. Because Luke is a face in PSP and Purple Haze usually is.

Purple Haze was out first and the crowd seemed to like him.

Luke was out next and the crowd went nuts. Both guys shook hands and the match started. Now normally Purple Haze is a high flying guy. But this match was loaded with lots of matwork.

With Luke doing a ankle lock. Which Purple Haze broke out of.

Then Haze got Luke in a modified surfboard.The crowd started dueling chants for both guys. And Luke got the win. After the match they shook hands again. Always great to see displays of sportsmanship like that.

Match 6-Bu Ku Dao vs PSP Heavyweight Champ Calvin Rose


Rose was out first with his manager Harper.So of course I start heckling Harper. I think I caught him laughing two times at things I yelled at him.

Bu Ku Dao was out next and the crowd was so solidly behind him. It was nice to see him getting a title shot. He is a great wrestler and I have never seen a bad match from him.I also noticed that him and I have the same haircut.Just he wears his hair up and I keep mine down.

The bell rings and quickly Bu Ku Dao was on the attack. Lots of kicks to Rose's knee. Then he backed Rose into the ropes and hit him with a flurry of punches. But it wasn't enough to take Rose off his feet. Rose grabbed Dao and started beating the crap out of him.

Dao tried his best. But he couldn't manage to overcome the size and power advantage Rose has.

After the match it looked like Dao had been knocked silly. I was very impressed with how close he came to winning. I wouldn't be surprised if Dao ends up as the PSP Champ one day soon.

Match 7-Battle Royale

Brett explained the rules. 2 people will start in the ring. Then after 2 minutes the next person enters.After that every 90 seconds someone comes in until there is only one person left.The winner gets a shot at the PSP title at the next show. Now it is hard as hell to review a battle royale. And between me taking pictures and writing down who had entered and who got eliminated I am sure I missed parts.So I will just list who entered in what order and after their name what number they got eliminated at.
1.Lukas Frost-18

2.Buku Dao-1

3.Wes Adams
4.Aeon Flexx-5
5.Danny Flamingo-2
6.Reggie Matthews-13
7.Outlaw Matt Lancie-4
8.Luke Hawx-3
9.The Punisher-8
10.Kool Jay Steele-17
11.Mr Sakitumie-6
12.Benjamin Todd-9
13.Senior ref Skippy-7
14.Socorro-12
15.Shane Champagne-10

16.Purple Haze-11
17.Hardbody Harper-15
18.Wildcard J.Spade-14
19.Princess Kristen-16




The highlights were

Skippy being announced as being in the Battle Royale. He was the ref on our side of the ring. And got footage of Skippy's impressive wrestling debut.




Also Luke and Lancie got thrown over the top at the same time and ended up brawling right in front of us.


Reggie getting thrown out and landing right on top of my feet. The last two in the ring were Wes and Lukas. With both of them fighting on the apron. Wes eliminated Lukas. Then Calvin Rose hit the ring and Rose,Harper and the Future Foundation started beating down Wes. Reggie ran out to save Wes and got beat down. Kristen came out to help and got beat down. Calvin grabbed some scissors and cut so of Wes' hair. I yelled at Harper "Hey take the hair and make a toupee with it!" Harper then grabbed some of the hair and put it on his head.

The locker room emptied and chased the heels out. Wes grabbed the mic and cut a great promo.

"ROSE YOU CUT MY HAIR TONIGHT BUT COME MARCH IN LIBERTY MISSISSIPPI I AM GOING TO CUT THAT BELT FROM AROUND YOUR WAIST!"

The crowd seemed really hyped for the next show.

After the show Dragon and I hung out talking to Reggie and other people. Then headed out to Waffle house to eat. Where we had so much fun just bullshitting with Reggie and others.

Now I have been to 5 Powerslam shows so far and this one was the best I have seen.As always the wrestlers and other talent was super nice. And you can tell each of them did their best. So if you live anywhere Liberty MS on March 1st is Powerslam Productions Spring Bash show. Come check it out. Trust me on this it will be more than worth the 10 bucks the ticket cost.

Is it worth it Wednesdays:The Midnight Horror Collection volume 4

Media-DVD
Title-The Midnight Horror Collection volume 4
Company-Echo Bridge Home Entertainment
 Price-$5



 The Last Vampire on Earth-This is a really low budget,horribly acted Twilight ripoff. Not even worth watching for "So bad it's good" appeal.
Night Shadow-Well the last film was a low budget Twilight ripoff,this one is a low budget Howling ripoff. But at least the acting was better than the last film. But still it isn't worth watching.
Kraken:Tentacles of the Deep-This film obviously has a higher budget than the last two. Cause this one has two "names" in the cast. If you count Jerry O'Connell's little brother Charlie as a name. And Victoria Pratt,who has never been a big star.This movie feels like one of those Syfy Channel originals. And if you like those you will enjoy this. It isn't horrible. But I doubt I ever watch it again.
Bloodlock-This feels like a low budget horror film mixed with a Lifetime Original movie. We get a wife and husband that buy a new house. The wife invites her sister to come live with them. Not knowing the husband is banging the sister.And the husband is only staying with the wife for her money. This film is a great example of one where the poster is 100 times better than the film.
Blood Red Moon-Hey look another low budget Twilight ripoff.This one is slightly better than The Last Vampire on Earth. But that is like saying getting shit on one shoe is better than getting shit on both shoes.Either way you got shit on you.
Howling IV:the original Nightmare-This is the reason I bought this pack. I saw Howling IV years back late one night on Showtime and remember enjoying it. Re-watching it now it isn't as good as I remembered. But is still the best film on this pack. It has decent transformation FX work. And the acting isn't that bad. If you like werewolf films and are looking for one to watch you haven't seen give Howling IV a shot.
Raging Sharks-Like Kraken this film has two "names" in it. First you got Corin Nemec aka Parker Lewis. And then there is Vanessa Angel. Who I will always remember from the Weird Science TV show. Also like Kraken I bet this is another Syfy Original film. I have never been a fan of shark films. Even Jaws,which it seems everyone loves,is a film that I don't really care for.
Vampegeddon-This is a film that would be perfect for MST3K. First you got teenagers who look to be in their late 20s/early 30s. One of them looks like she has a wooden tooth. The entire film feels like it was dubbed in post production. Which is strange because from reading the actors lips they are all speaking English. And all the vampires have super obvious bald caps on. You know a multipack set sucks ass when something like this is the second best film on the set.

So was it worth it?-Unless you have to own Howling 4. Want to see some of the worst Twilight ripoffs ever. Love Syfy original movies about killer sea creatures. Or if you must see one of the worst vampire movies I have ever seen. I would say skip this one. It is not worth the $5 it cost.
