You have to apply to the mods, it's a bit of a long drawn out process. I forget where the original thread is, but you basically have to write in 500 words why you should become one. Then if the mods agree you're in, you pay your money and you go green. I think I sent mine to neil but you can send the wording to any of them, then they make the call.

Sounds like Masons

How do I come about becoming a paid member on this forum?

Many years ago I saw a late night adult weekend and one thing that did interest me was Dennis Leary live. Was one of the funniest Live shows I had seen. At the moment ive taken a liking to being a frankie Boyle fan his jokes are off the wall something I havent seen in years since Chubby's first show I saw. Are their any comedians that are as good as Frankie?

Open for Business

I'm suprised Chilli's not a big Leary fan.

Take a bow.

'Asshole' is a funny little tune, though he is actually a decent actor.

Good mention on Kitson, saw him at Edinburgh a few times. Loved it.

[i'm a selective audience. I do gigs at the last port for the first spaceship to Mars, Barbershop quartets and astrology nights

 

That explains alot, them Space Truckers will lap up anything. Lets hope an agent/your agent sees your work in a better light and you can move to bigger and better things. I hear that the Shuttle from Milwaukee has a way more upmarket lounge area

I need to crack the lWo market first.

One Warrior Nation jokes? That is pretty fucking hardcore, Mr. Dog

Chilli - What made you stop doing standup, assuming you are now finished? I've always wanted to do it, but don't know where I'd get the material.

Couldn't afford to do all the travelling plus I got a job that had hours that clashed with pretty much anytime a gig usually takes place. I don't miss it. I was about 21 when I started and did it for two years. It was a fun experience and at least glad I tried it and got to do it regularly for that long. I still go to Liverpool now and again to perform with a comedy improv theatre troupe so I've still got my beak in the water. Stick to just writing with my co-writer now (OWN material before anyone cuts in there with a joke )

Does anyone here regularly attend a local comedy night?

1) Back when I actually gigged I used to get a free pass into the Baby Blue at the Liverpool docks, these were my student days and I was a rookie comic so the chances of me getting weekend work was nada nill. So I'd go down every Friday/Saturday, watch the comic, drink too much then go the Krazyhouse. Things were simpler when I lived in a city.

Here's the Dane Cook story, it was LA not NY...my mistake

 

American comics have rounded on stadium-filler Dane Cook

What recent developments?

His reaction to Shane Richie shitting on his show most likely.

You suckers just missed a super-fun guessing game. Now you'll never know what the 2nd and 3rd longest Wrestlemania matches were without trawling through Wikipedia like I did.

Wild Guess its the Iron Man Match followed by the 2000 Fatal 4 Way?

Taa, Astro.

I don't know if Ghost stories or legends go in this thread (I might even just start a thread on it) but I love the story of 'Resurrection Mary'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurrection_mary

Unsolved Mysteries naturally did a brilliant little segment on it as well.

Unsolved Mysteries - Resurrection Mary

And this paragraph is pretty funny too. Just one of an infinite number by the schizos there, regarding that famous pic of Jim, Frank 'Bonkers' Bruno and the Yorkshire Ripper.

 

Also in the photo notice how Jimmy is wearing a jumper with capital gold on it and the number 154 the rest is blocked by the handshake to the normal public they would assume the jumper is for a radio station but to a Mason i believe it was a hint to invest in a Canadian Gold mining company of the same name just a theory but would be interesting to see which British investors invested in the company in 2009

 

Whole fucking forum's like that. Millions of posts.

That has to be a piss take, really Astro, gimme a link to this shit man!

Does anyone know who that Nitro mascot (Wildcat Willie) was? Most people say it was Lanny Poffo but I'm sure he said it was balls.

While on the subject of Poffo, who else besides Leaping Lanny and Nailz were paid by WCW for years and wrestled naff all?

One of my favourites of all time this. Saw it as a kid, watched it at birthday parties in the infants, watched the DVD re-release as a teenager and am still in love with it today. The spin offs this film had were massive. Someone asked the other day, why we need to see another Ghostbusters film, and for me the answer is is that Hollywood must be desperate for it, with all the money it will make off merchandise and the film itself. Bill Murray said on Howard Stern one of the main reasons he isnt keen on the film is because the studio wants a third movie to reboot the franchise, due to the success of the video game and new Mattel figures line they've released in recent years. Imagine all the crap they'd release if there was actually a film to promote. Ironic students, lads in their 20s wishing it was the late 80s/early 90s again (like myself), people who saw it the first time or people who missed the GBs the first time out will be out in force for a third movie. The second film was huge as well, and did incredible business under stiff competition when you think it was released the same weekend as Batman and No Holds Barred.

 

Its hard to say if this is Bill Murray's greatest performance, because I love the man in so much of what he's done, but he puts in a fucking tremendous showing. The Mayor is one of my favourite characters in this and the second film. Ernie Hudson caused mass confusion for those who watched the cartoon first, when he appeared onscreen with a tash. Egon is not blonde either, but if you've seen him in Stripes, he's forgiven. Dan Aykroid is his brilliant self in this one, too. Its a film, most of the actors in it were born to play. John Candy was going to play Luis from what I understand. It brings me joy that my two nieces (especially my four year old niece) loves this film, and the cartoons. Slimer's her favourite. Who doesn't love Slimer?

 

Favourite quote is "I love Jesus' style" by Winston. Always cracks me up, for no apparent reason.

THIS. I recall reading that Slimer is based on John Belushi. Don't tell me if that's not true, I like to think it is regardless.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Botchamania has hit the big 200 mark.

Sure he looks like he's about to die in Ian's thread, but here is Johnny Polo and a compilation of his commentary exploits. I must say he and Gorilla did some funny links. Gorilla was brilliant for bouncing schtick off.

I know Mae Young and the Kat 'dropped em' on WWE TV before but at 0:50 is this the first and only time someone dared to flash a bit of snatch on camera?

Obviously baring that time at Rumble 00 when Miss Jackie pretended to ride Jeff Jarrett's imaginary acoustic.

Was Jannetty gone by the Rumble, or was he just being kept off tv to sell the injury before returning to build to WM8? I always wondered whether the he was planned to make an appearance in some way. It wasn't the type of incident that absolutely needed a long layoff, they could have given him a brutus/virgil mask or something

 

On an episode of Superstars at the start of 92 at the end of the show they said Jannetty would be on the show in action the next week, and he wasn't and disappeared until the end of the year seemingly.

Pretty much spot on, back then it was usually about 4 weeks of TV filmed at tapings and with the Rumble happening on Jan 19th that year and the Barbershop incident airing on IIRC Jan 6th, then you don't need Michaels wrestling singles matches. They had other stuff to build up and I'm sure it more than likely got a mention on Mean Gene's update segment.

Chuffed to see GGR in a pretty good place on even on this list at all!

Does Fin Martin have another job at all, or is PowerSlam is full time occupation?

He tweets...

As much as I would hate to wish anything negative on any small business I cannot fathom how Fin is still managing to make a go of the mag, and it must be time to throw in the towel anytime now. He's aiming his publication at an ever-diminishing niche which was small enough to begin with. It must have been hard enough for him when business was good; taking into account the current financial climate, the fact that FSM seems to be on the up, and the internet in general and you really do wonder how he manages to keep it going.

 

You don't get a much more 'hard core' fan base than those visiting a wrestling forum, and the general opinion on here when he put Tanahashi in the number one spot on the PS 50 should have been a proverbial bullet going through the publication's head. He'd be better off reporting on JN Phoenix and his mates; head drops on school mats are his sort of thing anyway.

The result of the PS 50 should have killed the magazine? I don't understand this, It's Tanahashi, he's very good and probably on a main event performer level deserved it somewhat, he's not Gypsy Joe. The magazine wouldn't die because of who gets the top spot in the PS 50 at all.

I'm glad The Sting made it in, I expected it to make it, but maybe a little higher than it finished. As for Robocop, I'm not a fan, and would have thought that The Terminator would beat it on the list. However I guess many people probably put T-2 in ahead of it, whereas I'd like to hope that Robocop didn't have this problem with it's sequels . . .

Pretty much bob on there Sev...

THE STING!!! Fantastic!
