There's no better way to bring people together than through laughter, and Charlie Berens does that each week — Wisconsin-style — with the Manitowoc Minute.
Since June 2017, Berens has served as host of the comedy news show that strives to be "da best minute of your life once a week." In each online episode Berens shares headlines from the Dairy State and beyond, gives shout-outs to points of interest across the state and offers a Craigslist kicker, a hilarious look at an obscure item for sale. And he does it all in the thickest of Wisconsin accents.
The show's become a hit, with most episodes garnering about half a million views on Facebook and fans around the world picking up his catch-phrases like "keep 'er movin'" and "hey der, guy."
The Milwaukee-area native graduated from UW-Madison in 2009 with degrees in journalism and geography and is now a comedian based in Los Angeles. While he was in Madison recently, headlining a sold-out show at the Wisconsin Union Theater, we caught up with him to find out how he became Wisconsin's most enthusiastic ambassador.
After college, broadcasting jobs took you to Texas, South Carolina, Michigan, California and Washington, D.C. Where did the Manitowoc Minute come from in all this?
Where it came from was going into news and having an accent and having people tell me that you say these words wrong or those words wrong — and it's always the same words.
What were those words?
"Opinion," accentuating the "o." Or "bag," like "baaag." "Tag." Just anything that rhymes with "bag" — and there are a lot of things that rhyme with "bag."
So, you leaned into the accent as the host of the Manitowoc Minute?
I basically am that character; he's an extension of me … I like to laugh at myself, I'm self-deprecating and I think Wisconsin culturally has that sense of humor. I think people get it. It's all in good fun.
When you started, did you have any idea of how big the show would become?
I had some indicator that the accent worked. I did that Jack Dawson video [in which he gave Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Titanic an exaggerated Wisconsin voice], so I had some sense that people liked this accent. And when I did my standup, it always did well.
Where'd you get the camo jacket you wear in each episode?
Oh, the camo jacket. So, I stole that from my dad. But actually, I found out recently that he stole that jacket from his uncle. So basically, it's a very old jacket. And it's starting to fall apart. Apparently if you go water skiing with a jacket, it really wears on it.
I like to laugh at myself, I'm self-deprecating and I think Wisconsin culturally has that sense of humor. I think people get it. It's all in good fun.
Aside from waterskiing, do you have a favorite aspect of the Manitowoc Minute?
I really like the Craigslist kicker. I feel like you can tell a lot about a place just by looking on the classifieds. For example, there are so many silos for sale.
Really? I had no idea.
Neither did I.
And I didn't even know you could sell them and move them.
Neither did I. But, you know, coming from the perspective of a geography alum, what does that say about where we live? It's almost symbolic of the larger farming community - you're selling your silo? It's interesting.
While all in good fun, the show does take a point of view on some issues. How does that work out?
The point of the Manitowoc Minute is to make people laugh, but also to bring people together. When everyone is laughing we're all on the same page, even if it's just for a joke. But Wisconsin really seems to come together around a lot of issues. I see it in our Keep 'Er Movin' Wisconsin initiative, which basically gives fans a platform to donate. Last year, we gave away over $10,000 to causes like Wounded Warriors, hurricane relief, the Boys and Girls Club of Milwaukee and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Sheboygan.
Is there anything else you'd like to do with the show?
I think there's a way to bring the show to outside of Wisconsin. Maybe there can be a full-on newsroom. I think it would be fun to have other people who represent where they're from and do it in the same way the news networks do it.
Do you have any advice for current students trying to figure things out?
Follow your passion. If you want to be a comedian, but think real estate is more practical, it's really not. Spending 40 to 80 hours a week on your passion is a lot more practical than spending that time on something you don't enjoy. Your passion will carry you through the inevitable hard times. That said, my passion didn't pay my student loans. So look for jobs that'll build skills related to your passion. Beyond that take risks, have fun, make mistakes and keep 'er movin'.

This post…
This post has been coming for a long time now. This post has been virtually in the works for 10 months. Over a thousand hours of my life spent working toward a goal. And just a few days ago, I reached that goal.
My book is done.
I have, for the first time in my life, completed a story I set out to finish. Through countless attempts, I have finally completed my first step, as a writer, toward my dream.
I am an Author.
All of that said, it's time I take my next few steps. As I posted in a prior update, I've begun querying agents. However, as you all know, this is a long and painful process. Additionally, I posted an update about future plans and story ideas. I have made my choice and will begin outlining shortly. In the mean time, I'm recovering from fatigue and taking up a few short stories that I've had floating around for a while.
However, before I sign off and take my much needed break, I will drop the WIP name of my next book.
Epic of Q'tal
My name is Jason Penn and I am an author.

Yoni Stevens
Mental Health Coordinator for the Cystic Fibrosis Center, Office of Care Management
What is your fondest memory from your 25 years working at Dartmouth-Hitchcock?
It is hard to pick just one. There have been many wonderful and sometimes hilarious celebratory gatherings and retreats over the years both with Care Management, and more recently with the CF [Cystic Fibrosis] Team colleagues. One memory that stands out is when Heather Yurgeles, MSW, retired several years ago. Her social work colleagues surprised her by arriving at her house to drive Heather to DHMC in a stretch limousine on her last day of work. There was a red carpet with a trumpeter to announce her arrival at the Main Entrance along with other colleagues and many bewildered passersby. This sort of creative energy along with lots of laughter are a joyful part of these past 25 years.
What about your job/work inspires you?
The patients and families I have met and worked with over the years have been truly inspiring. As a social worker I've often met them as they were experiencing extremely challenging situations and life ending illnesses. Many have shared their wisdom and perspective with me about living life well until the end. I've had the honor to witness families giving so much love and support to patients along this journey. In addition, our CF patients and families continue to inspire me daily by their resilience, determination, and sometimes sheer chutzpah in the face of this lifelong disease. Our patients inspire me and remind of the power of love and hope.
What do you like best about working in your department?
I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with some truly exceptional people over the years from all disciplines (but my social work colleagues hold a special place in my heart). Collaborating with my colleagues, especially when working on particularly daunting situations, has been a gift. The many Office of Care Management colleagues with whom I've shared offices over the past 25 years (you know who you are!) have been terrific people who made coming to work a joy.

National Trust Clevedon Court
0 reviews
- Clevedon Court, Tickenham Road, BS21 6QU
- 01275 872257
- http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-clevedoncourt/
Outstanding 14th-century manor house and 18th-century terraced gaden.
Clevedon Court is a manor house in Clevedon, North Somerset, England, dating from the early fourteenth century. It is now owned by the National Trust.
The house was built in the early 14th century, possibly on the site of a Roman dwelling, and incorporating remnants of a 13th century building which lie at an angle to the rest of the house. It was situated a couple of miles inland from the parish church of St Andrew (which predates it slightly) and the village of Clevedon, which was then a small collection of cottages. The builder was Sir John de Clevedon, a descendant of the Norman Ildebert who was given the manor of Clevedon after the Norman Conquest. Because of the distance to the parish church, the manor house included a chapel dedicated to St Peter. The house has undergone considerable change since it was built, almost every century seeing structural alterations, but it still largely retains the character of a mediaeval manor.
The de Clevedon family line ended in 1376, and the manor passed to the Northamptonshire family of Wake, who were Lords of the manor until 1630. John Wake made major additions to the house in the late 16th century, including additional rooms on either side of the porch, and a new west wing. The manor was sold by Sir Baldwin Wake to Sir John Digby in 1630. Digby's estates were confiscated after the English Civil War, but were recovered after the Restoration by his heir. In 1709 the house was bought by Abraham Elton, a merchant from Bristol.
The Eltons were a prominent Bristol family, and Abraham had been a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers and Sheriff of Bristol. In later years he was Mayor of Bristol, High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, and Member of Parliament for the five years preceding his death in 1727. He was created a Baronet in 1717. The family wealth came from the slave trade and other commerce, and property (including mining in the Mendip Hills).

WordPress is praised by bloggers for good reason. However, it does require some knowledge to use WordPress successfully. Continue reading in order to get some terrific insights that can change all of that.
Make sure to use both alt text and title tags. You should include alt text when adding images to your posts. Such areas provide a chance to add additional SEO phrases, and they show viewers who have not enabled images to see what they are missing.
If there's a post with a title that's long, make sure you clean your permalink up. Using too many words will make a clunky URL. Use a few words that are descriptive of the blog.
Video blogging is a snap with WordPress. Although you may have to put in a little more time, you will get rewarded for your effort in the end. Most Internet surfers respond to visuals. A video can clearly convey a message that is hard to explain with the written word; this makes video a powerful marketing tool.
Use Alt and Title. when uploading an image to a post. These can help you add more SEO descriptions to pages, which lets those viewers that don't wish to see images know what the images are.
Eliminate any content that is not adding value to your blog. This keeps the site easily usable to the honest viewers. An excellent plugin that can aid you in removing spam from your site on a daily basis is Akismet.
Remove unnecessary content and delete comments that fail to add value. This makes your website more user-friendly. Use Akismet if you need a plugin to do this.
It can happen where you have made changes to your blog on WordPress, only to think that the changes weren't saved. That's most likely false. See if clearing the browser's cache resolves the issue. If your depress the "shift" key while reloading your browser, the changes you made should show.
Don't include any special characters in your URLS. These characters are hard for search engine spiders to decipher. Keep your URL's short and to the point.
Unless otherwise specified, your posts will appear chronologically. Change the dates to rearrange the posts. To do this, locate the date in the upper right corner of an open post. Click the date and change it. Save your post and its order will change.
Unless you modify it, all posts will be in chronological order. To change the list, you must change the dates. You can see the date when you open up a post. Click the date, edit it, and save it to reorder its position.
Are there a lot of commenters to your posts? If that's the case, it may be hard for you or your visitors to sift through those numerous comments. Simply create pages by adding a plugin for that purpose. This will improve your blog's navigation and give your website a more organized look.
Better your greeting at the very top of your site in WordPress. This can make things more personal with your visitors, as you can create a message that relates to how the user found your blog. Your webpage will be less automatic looking, and will be accessible via the Greet Box plugin.
If you have a WordPress website, be sure to have the most engaging greeting possible. Not only does this personalize your website, it welcomes guests based on how they found your blog. This will make your site look much more inviting.
Ensure that your readers can send content to an e-mail as they please. This is essential for sharing purposes, since not everyone uses Twitter or Facebook while working. You can do this by using a WP-Email plugin.
Don't use "admin" as a username. Your blog is more vulnerable to attack by bots if you choose this as your username. This is a risk to the security of your site. Look at the users of your site and delete any names that use admin or administrator. Use a different and unique username.
Security is something a WordPress site needs, and that's why you need to keep passwords secret. On top of that, only download plugins from sites which are reputable and check the reviews before you install anything. If your site becomes compromised, you will have to begin again; therefore, it is important to do everything you can to keep your site secure.
Make sure that you have the most recent version of any WordPress plugins you use. One of the best ways to have a strong presence is through well-made, up-to-date plugins. Like other software, they are frequently updated. If you don't make sure you have the latest version, you may not be getting as much as possible out of the plugin.
Organize that media library often. It's tempting to upload pictures into the library directly, however, things can easily get disorganized. Create folders designated for images at each step of the way. This will make searching for a particular image much easier.
Make sure you have your blog backed up. It is important for your blog to be backed up regularly. There are some WordPress plugins available for this purpose, such as Xcloner. Be sure to back your blog up in multiple spots. Losing an entire website is catastrophic.
Always update your plugins. The plugins are what makes WordPress so great. Just as with regular software, they are updated. There are many critical upgrades that you may not have been aware of. Older plugins may fail without updates.
Make sure that you write your blogs in advance. You can set it up so that they will be posted at very specific times. The option to publish now or later is available under the edit screen in WordPress. Click on the option that says publish immediately. Put your times in with military format, particularly the years, months and days. Choose the OK option. Click on the 'schedule' button on the 'schedule for' screen to plan schedule your blog posts.
Be sure to always use the most updated version of WordPress on your site. Updates include patches that make your page less vulnerable. Using older versions will make your site susceptible to spyware attacks. Therefore, always install any updates that WordPress rolls out to ensure that your site is secure and tight.
You don't have to manually approve comments anymore. Let Akismet filter out the spam for you. You can set up notifications for comments, but manual approval usually deters commenters. This will end up saving you quite a lot of time.
To link your blog posts on your blog or website, make use of a plugin that will allow you to do just that. These plugins add a list of three to five links at the bottom of each post based on the relevance of the tags on all of the posts on your site.
Do not use the drop-down menu to find a post header. Instead, use keyboard shortcuts! To use, simply use CTRL and the numbers 1 through 6. This is a time saver if you use lots of headers.
Schedule posts a few days ahead for your blog in WordPress. This way, your posts will be published while you are doing other things. You can easily do this using the Publish command located on your Edit screen. Then, you'll see the choice to "publish immediately." Add the times you want, including days, months as well as years. Select OK. Check "Schedule For" and press "Schedule."
Always look at user reviews before using plugins. These plugins are not that difficult to create. It is not a great idea to use plugins that have many known issues. Go for popular plugins that have a four to five star rating to be on the safe side.
Do not use the drop-down menu to find a post header. Use keyboard shortcuts instead. Press CTRL and the numbers one to six for the various headers. That will save a great deal of time if you're someone who often uses headers.
If you need a host for a WordPress blog, be sure to pick on with installation tools that make the process simple. This way, you won't have to create a separate database. With one click, the host can create the blog domain for you as well as the associated database.
When searching for plugins, check user reviews prior to selecting any. Remember that anyone with some programming know-how can build these plugins. It is important not to use plugins with lots of problems and reported issues. A plugin that has numerous downloads and high ratings will probably be safe to use.
Experiment with a number of blogging platforms. Do you dislike the dashboard at WordPress? You may want to consider Windows Live Writer. There are many tools that are compatible with WordPress while being much more efficient. Try some of them to find one that works the best for you.
If you need a host to keep your WordPress blog on, pick one that comes with installation tools that are compatible with WordPress. This way, you won't have to create a separate database. With the click of a button, it is possible for the host to set up the blog domain along with the database.
Think about having author comments highlighted on a blog. Folks often use comment sections to voice concerns or make inquiries. It's easy for comments to be overlooked if there are many other comments. Make sure you highlight text from the author. This makes them easy to find.
Write a tentative plan before starting your WordPress blog. List the things you hope to accomplish and what you want readers to take away from your content. This will give you a clear picture of what you want your site to look like from the get go.
Plan your strategy prior to building your site. Know what you want from your site and consider what your readers expect. Do this and you'll save time trying to add the things you forgot later.
Keep in mind that it is possible to include the "Read More" button. No one wants to click on to your blog's front page and be greeted by a huge wall of text. Let visitors read more by clicking if they want to. Failure could leave your blog cluttered and uninviting.
Don't forget about the "Read More" option. Don't make people look at a wall of text on your home page. Permit visitors who want to read more to do so by clicking a link. If they can't, your blog might look messy and unwelcoming.
Make sure your sites always have images. It is said that a picture's sometimes worth a thousand words, and that holds true even on a blog. Your site is going to have even more drama with photos. Be sure you use alternate text and title tags to explain your pictures so that the search engines and readers know what your picture is about.
Incorporate images on your site. Remember that many people only look at the pictures and never read the words. This will give your site a lot of interest. Also use alternate text and title tags when describing the pictures to help search engines crawl your site.
Keep a second folder for tests made to your site before putting them out for others to see. This will keep any mistakes from ruining your entire site or hampering your sales.
Let someone else help you do the work on your site. Having a knowledgeable person help you do the job right from the start is totally worthwhile.
Keep in mind that categories and tags make it easy to have key phrases for your SEO building throughout the site. In fact, descriptive category names are usually what people search for in Google. For instance, you may have found this piece by searching with "WordPress pointers."
If you're writing a post that isn't all the way done, holding it in unpublished mode should be done. You are able to make some changes, but no one else can see it. Publish it when you have perfected it.
WordPress has been recognized as a useful, straightforward platform for blogs that almost anybody can utilize once they know the basics. WordPress should be easier to understand with the information from the above article. Don't wait any longer; take action today.
Utilize WordPress' Export function to give your site a regular backup. This allows you to refer back to a historical backup when your server dies.

(Camera pans the state-of-the-art "Not Yet Robbed Center" in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Over quickly to a sign reading: "Somebody pooped in my soft drink." Cut to ringside to Scotty Whatbody and Nurse Heidi.)
SW: Wow, that must be the shortest scene set up EVER! Anyway, glad to have you back, Heidi!
NH: Thanks, Scotty. The feeling isn't mutual, though. Sorry, buddy.
SW: HEY! Wait a minute, you ARE Nurse Heidi, right? I remember once SMP saying he could be anybody. You're not SMP are you?
NH: No, Scotty...I'm not SMP.
SW: Can I feel your breasts just to make sure?
NH: No you can't. You'll just have to trust me on this one.
SW: No way, I'm not falling for THAT line again! Trust me. Trust me. Trust me. I have 18 years of child support to pay because of that crap! *ahem* Nevermind. Hey, we have a pretty good card, though. This is my 15th NAGAM show! And that's an anniversary!
NH: What? Are you surprised you made it to through 15 shows without getting your ass fired?
SW: Very funny. Yeah, laugh all you want. I'll never get fired from here, who else will sit though sub par wrestling like I do week after week?
NH: Schiavone did it for years. Mike Monroe does it. I do it.
SW: Ummmm. What's yer point? DON'T ANSWER THAT! Well, despite what that midget executive says, this is MY SHOW! Screw those other matches, I'm doing my OWN thing! And since this is NAGAM 15, an anniversary...I'm going to celebrate by giving all my NAGAM fans a look back at some archived greatness.
NH: Scotty, what...are....you...TALKING ABOUT?! Are you on the sauce again?
SW: I'm going to tribute this card with the forerunners of inspiration, the flag bearers, the trend setters! Without the STWF and the Whatever Wrestling Federation, Brawler's on a Budget probably wouldn't exist. So, I'm taking the main events from all the STWF and WWF number 15 shows, and recasting them on MY show. Plus, a NAGAM 15 double main event as Smooth and Chocolaty defends their tag-team titles and Donald McKillalot takes on Bohemoth for the ONLY WORLD TITLE THAT MATTERS!
NH: Smooth and Chocolaty? I thought douja retired.
SW: He's not retired, come on. douja retired? He just ran out of dope and couldn't think straight, that's all.
NH: Whatever, but I heard he retired.
SW: Quit being a "Negative Nellie"! I'll think of something. I'm smart. I didn't go to Harvard, but Walter Jackson's Memorial Community College is damn close enough!
(Scotty then proceeds to stuff a pillow under an oversized cowboy shirt. He tapes some soggy Ruffles potato chips to his forehead and dons a blonde, curly wig. He gets in the ring.)
SW: WHOO WEE! LADEES AN GENT-L-MENS, I'm Dussy Whoades, an' WELCOME TO BEE OHH BEE CLASSTHICS! YOU GOTTA GETS YOU SOME OF DISS!
(Crowd boos)
SW: Ah, whassup wit dat? You can't go wrong wit tha classthics! Since tha WWF never had 15 shows, I took a show that landed on a 15th, IF YA WEIL! Diss action from just over 2 years ago, July 15th, 1999. Dey some BAD BLUD IN DISS ONE! And that great Scotty Whatbody is dere, so you KNOW it's a gud one. YOU GOTTA GETS YOU SOME OF DISS! Let's go to Sammy "Sellout" Smiff and Scotty to call tha action, IF YA WEIL.
(Cut to cheesy looking BOB-tron, a 29 inch television sitting on a rolling stand. Flunky hit 'play' on the VCR.)
Sellout Sammy Smith: *ahem* ...and now, the BATTLE ROYAL Main Event.. and as you can see, we have three rings set up! Yes.. 30 men! 10 to a ring! When we get down to 10 left, they'll all move to the centre ring to fight it out to the finish!
SW: This looks eerily familiar.. someone call our lawyers..
(The lights dim. Cheap pyrotechnics explode, and rock music plays. A single laser light waves randomly in the air.)
SW: There goes the budget for this quarter!
Bubba: Ladies and Gentlemen, here are the participants for Ring Number 1!
And to make up numbers, from the STWF.. HEAD TRAUMA BOY COMA!
(The wrestlers walk down to the ring, or in El Gigolantes' case, limp. The crowd cheers, boos and throws stuff, depending on whos in range.)
SW: Who was that last one?
SSS: We got him cheap. Anyway, he sucks, so he won't embarrass us by winning.
SW: Good. Interesting to see that the tag champs are in the same ring.
Bubba: In Ring Two.. THE MIME!
SSS: Sorry, I forgot to tell you. We didn't have enough wrestlers to fill the ring.. off you go Scotty.. don't worry, I can call this thing by myself! Give it the old college try!
SW: Oh, you are SO dead!
Bubba: And in Ring Three.. FUMBUCKER DIONTRAY!
SSS: Well, all thirty men have made it to the rings. SupeRef motions to the timekeeper..
***Bell Rings
SSS: ...AND HERE WE GO! Absolute chaos breaks out right off the bat! I'll try and call it the best I can! Right in front of me, Mishimoto San and the Domino are pounding on Diontray! Kamikazie Ken executes an Asashi Moonsault and levels Toker! The Embalmed Guy is getting pounded by Johnston Powers. The Mime is right next to them, imitating Johnston punch for punch! Roy D. Rage is getting double teamed by both Roberts and Collins! The tag champs are taking no chance with our former Heavyweight champ! They pick him up for a crushing double powerslam! Pissed Teen Mike and Coma are exchanging headbutts in Ring 1! Scotty Whatbody has gotten Killer Pooch down and is stomping away on him! That's the spirit, Scotty! In Ring 3, Carl X is pummeling Tim, while Carl's partner Loomis is ramming Barry Browns head repeatedly into the turnbuckle! This is pure, unadultarated insanity! And it's not even a pay-per-view! OH! Fumbucker Leon gets a stiff-arm clothesline from El Gigolante and is blasted over the top rope! And so Leon has to suffer the indignity of being the first man eliminated! "Handsome" Hank has The Green Mosheen pinned in a corner now, and is standing over him, gyrating away wildly! That's not a pretty sight, I'm telling you. But The Mosheen plucks Hank up and delivers an inverted atomic drop! The Extreme Jock has Scotty Whatbody and The Embalmed Guy! Double noggin knocker! Back in Ring 1, the Hammer and "Cold Stone" are still double-teaming Rage. But Rage fights back like a true ex-champion! Headbutt on Collins! Elbow right between Roberts eyes! Rage picks up Collins in a firemans carry.. DEATH VALLEY DRIVER over the top rope!! Say goodnight Mike, your party's over! 2 men down, 28 to go.. make that 27!! Johnston Powers is drop-kicked over the top rope by Garry Greene! The Mime shrugs and follows suit, imitating Powers tumble almost perfectly! 4 men gone now! And would you believe Scotty's still in this thing! Of course, he is getting paintbrushed by The Extreme Jock, but he's lasted longer than I thought he would! Rage is on the recieving end of a big Avalance from El Gigolante! Oingo Boingo and Kamikazie Ken execute an astonishing double hikanrana on the Domino! The two of them working very well together.. double dropkick sends Mishimoto San reeling back.. and Stoned Toker pulls the top rope down! Mishimoto San tumbles over and he is out of here! Oingo gives Ken a trio of high-fives and then headbutts him! So much for that little partnership! Carl X with an enormous Samoan Drop on Barry Brown! The Embalmed Guy gets a Swinging Neckbreaker courtesty of The Extreme Jock. The Jock scoops him up and tries to get rid of him.. he gets some help from Scotty... YES! The Embalmed Guy is history! Meanwhile Pissed Teen Mike tries a flying forearm on The Guy! A nice last-second duck by the Guy, and Mike is gone! How many are left now? Where's the nifty on-screen graphic we were supposed to have?
(We cut to a shot of some nameless WWF flunky holding a card marked "23")
SSS: Better than nothing I suppose. Back to the action! Scotty Whatbody is involved in a fist-fight with Garry Greene... Garry suddenly drops to all fours.. and Head Trauma Boy Flatline uses Garrys back as a launching pad! Big shoulderblock on Scotty! He reels back to the ropes.. and a double clothesline from Garry and Flatline sends him to the floor! A brave effort by my broadcast colleague there!
SW: *cough*.. *pant*.. You.. *hack*.. are soooooo dead...
SSS: Look out! Vertical suplex from SMP on The Guy! The Guys outstreched foot connects with Coma on the way! El Jabaronie Loco leaps onto the ropes and springboards into Ring 2, sending Killer Pooch down with a head-scissor takedown! Well, no-one said he had to STAY in the ring he stared in! E.J Loco is all over the place! He leaps onto the turnbuckle.. jumps into Ring 3! But Kamikazie Ken was waiting and meets him with a mid-air dropkick! What action! Diontray picks up Loco and tries to eject him from the ring. He's going.. he's going... wait a minute! Barry comes up from behind and uses Diontrays own momentum to send him out along with El Jaboronie Loco! Two for the price of one! Barry waves to the crowd and turns.. just in time to get squashed between Carl X and Loomis! Barry is easily eliminated after that little taste of the Skank-wich! We're at the one-third point!
SW: Oh, man, my neck is never gonna be the same! You're getting my chiropracters bills, Sammy!
SSS: Oh, quit complaining! Check out the pummelling that Rage and SMP are dishing out to The Guy! I didn't even know an arm could bend like that! In the centre ring, Handsome Hank just gave Killer Pooch a Backdoor Buttslam!
SW: That's doin' it doggie-style!
SSS: And the Pooch leaps over the top rope and eliminates himself! I think he's headed for the shower before Hank can get there! Back in Ring 1, The Guy, SMP and Rage have now teamed up on El Gigolante! Can they get the 370-pounder out? They're having difficulty, due to his low center of gravity! Wait a minute, when did Carl X get eliminated?
SW: Beats the heck out of me... I was watching Nurse Heidi. Check THAT out!
SSS: Oh my GOD! Sorry about that mosiac pattern over Hiedis... *ahem*.. pectorials, fans. She's got everyone in Ring 1 stunned.. except SMP and Coma, that is..
SW: Well, according to this tabloid, she's been seeing both of them, so I guess they've seen both of THOSE before..
SSS: And there goes El Gigolante, upended by SMP and Coma! That's what happens when your attention wanders like that! Meanwhile, The Green Mosheen and Flatline are trying to eliminate Toker! Handsome Hank comes in to help out.. or maybe just cop a cheap feel.. and Toker is out of it!
SW: So what's new? He's always out of it...
(We cut to the card-holding guy, who's holding up a "15" sign.)
SSS: And we're at the half-way point! Both Head Trauma Boys go to the top ropes in thier respective rings. Double flying headbutts! On each other! Are they insane? Anyway, they just eliminated themselves, so we're down to a lucky 13 wrestlers!
SW: Not so lucky for Oingo Boingo! He just got back-dropped out by The Domino! Only Loomis the Vile, Kamikazie Ken and The Domino remain in Ring 3!
SSS: And the Domino is taking it to both of them. Predictably, the action in the other rings slows down so we can focus on this! Bodyslam on Ken! Bodyslam on Loomis! Standing side kick for Ken! Short Clothesline drops Loomis.. The Domino a one-man assualt force! He scoops up Ken for a belly-to-back suplex! Beautiful execution! He's making the old "over-the-top" sign to the crowd.. and there goes Loomis! The Domino turns his attention to Ken.. Gorilla Press!! He walks him to the ropes and tosses him over! Ken, ever the showman does a somersault and breaks a table on the way out! What a professional he is!
SW: Well, the Domino thinks he can take a rest, seeing as how he cleared his ring..
Bubba: As we now have 10 men left, all the remaining wrestlers will move to Ring 2!
Domino: Awww.. crap!
SSS: Well, just ten men left.. The Domino, The Extreme Jock, Garry Greene, SMP, Handsome Hank, The Guy, Roy D. Rage, Tim...
SW: A Pissed Teen is still in?
SSS: Feeling like a loser, Scotty? Anyway, Steve Roberts and The Green Mosheen round out the final 10!
SSS: And here we go again! Wait a minute! Here comes Birdboy! He leaps in the ring and tackles The Guy! Do you believe it?! Birdboy raining punches on The Guy now! Birdboy has the crowd firmly behind him! The noise is deafening! Birdboy grabs The Guy by the seat of his pants.. and ELIMINATES HIM!!
SW: Oh, man! YOU SUCK, BIRDBOY! BOOO!
SSS: Way to remain neutral, Scotty. Birdboy out to the apron.. FLY AWAY on The Guy!!! The Champ is taking The Guy to the cleaners! The two of them brawling their way up the aisle now! Just listen to those fans!
SW: Back in the ring, the remaining nine wrestlers are going at each other like there's no tomorrow!
SSS: Rage DDT's The Mosheen! SMP is delivering elbows repeatedly to The Domino! The Extreme Jock leaps onto the top turnbuckle.. CORKSCREW PLANCHA! Handsome Hank goes down..
SW: On who?
SSS:...to the mat after that one...
SW: Oh, good.
SSS: Meanwhile, Garry drills Tim with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Hefts him up onto his shoulders. The other wrestlers are giving him lots of room so it could be something good coming up here...
SW: Oh Yeah! Fall-away slam over the top rope!!! So long Tim!
SSS: Garry looks exhausted, though.. he leans on the ropes to catch his breath..and here comes the Barbados Skanks back to the ring! Loomis reaches up and simply drags Garry out! And we've got a three man beat-down in progress! Loomis winds up and gives Garry a lariat from Heck! All three men stomping away now! And I don't think I have to remind you that the Jocks and the Skanks will clash at Barnyard Blitkrieg!
SW: But you will, anyway.. WAIT A MINUTE! Here comes Barry! He's got a chair! Neither of the Skanks have noticed him, despite the huge pop from the fans!
SSS: WHAM! Carl is knocked into the middle of next week! Loomis keeps pounding Garry, being a little slower on the uptake than Carl.. Barry blasts him right over the head! Loomis keeps stomping.. but finally his body gets the message from his brain and he goes down like a ton of bricks! J.C steps in to interfere.. and Heidi takes care of that!
SW: Hope he wasn't planning a family anytime soon!
SSS: Soprano City all right! And here comes security! They drag the Skanks and Jocks apart! Carl still manages to break away from the eight guys holding him and get a few more punches in! It looks like they're going to fight all the way back to the locker room! We haven't seen the last of this! Not with a Pay-per-view a week away, anyway! Back in the ring, the Extreme Jock just got knocked for a loop by The Mosheen!
SW: Do you belive the Green Mosheens still in this thing! That's my boy!
SSS: The Green Mosheen drags the Jock to the ropes.. he's got him half-way over.. can he do it??
SW: C'mon Green! Go! GO!!
SSS: And the Jock is teetering.. and there he goes!
SSS: The Mosheen turns around.. and a double clothesline from Rage and Hank lifts him off his feet and out!
SW: NOOO! Rage, you BLEEP!! Son of a BLEEP!!!
SSS: Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Scotty? WHOA! Big powerbomb on Roberts from The Domino! Picks him up and runs him to the ropes! Simply flings him over the top! Roberts is gone! Just Rage, Hank, Plants and the Domino left! Gut-wrench suplex from Plants levels Hank! The Domino gets a big knee-lift from Rage! Leg-drop! He's got the Domino prone in the center of the ring! Bunces off the ropes.. GIGANTIC splash! He's got the Domino right where he wants him! SMP is chopping away at Hank in the corner! Rage drags Domino to his feet and sets him up for a whip to the buckle! Here it comes.. REVERSAL! Rage comes straight back towards Plants and Hank.. SMP drops a shoulder.. RAGE IS GONE! Backdropped out by Plants!
SW: HA! Seeya Roy! Thanks for coming!
SSS: Just three men left! SMP and the Domino are going at it furiously! Lefts and rights being exchanged! SMP gets his jaw jacked! Responds with a clothesline from nowhere! Slingshots Domino into the buckle! SMP slaps on a cross-face chicken wing! He's literaly dragging Domino to the ropes.. can he get rid of him?
SW: Here comes Hank! He's sneaking up from behind!
SSS: He sure is! Domino and Plants leaning way too far out over the ropes.. Hank strikes.. and DUMPS BOTH OF THEM OVER THE TOP! It's OVER!!!
***bell rings!
Bubba: Here is the winner of the Battle Royal... "HANDSOME" HANK HAWKINNNNNNNNS!!!!!!!!
SSS: What a match! And it'll be Hank who wins the trip to Gay Paree... appropriately enough.. and will also get a World Title shot at an upcoming Tornado Thursday Night!
SW: If the Boss doesn't negate that once he finds out about this, Sammy...
SSS: Anyway, thanks for joining us tonight, and for Scotty Whatbody, I'm "Sellout" Sammy Smith, saying "See you at BARNYARD BLITZKRIEG!" So long, everybody!
(Cut back to 'Dussy Whoads' in the ring.)

CT: Both men are in the ring now, Kandi is outside the ring as always.
***bell rings.
CT: Boy, after that last match, this is going to be hard to top, even though it is for the Heavyweight belt. Both men lock up. DOOM executes a sleeperhold off the bat. Distruct manages to get out quickly enough. Distruct with a chop to DOOM, then a short clothesline by Distruct. It's a little hard to see him without Dr. Death, and with this new look. Let's hope his re-tooling pays off. Distruct trying to wear DOOM down with a Boston Crab. DOOM takes a step towards the ropes...Distruct pulls back a bit more. DOOM takes another step, and another...Distruct straining with all his might...DOOM grabs the ropes. Distruct tries an enzuigiri and misses. DOOM whips Distruct against the ropes, and tries a dropkick but Distruct held onto the ropes. Distruct with an elbowdrop. The cover: 1...2...no. DOOM with a powerslam on Distruct now...the rattling of Distruct's beads can be heard from here! The cover:1...2...no. DOOM whips Distruct into the ropes and this time lands a spinning heel kick. DOOM climbs up top for a big splash: Distruct raises the knees. Distruct with a guillotine drop. The cover: 1...2...shoulder up. Distruct this time whips DOOM into the ropes...but not without having him bump into the ref first. Brawl ensuing between the two big men, while the ref is out. Honestly, wrestling wasn't like this when I started sixty-five years ago. Sure we may have sheared each others' ears off... but at least refs were stronger back then. These refs can barely take a good sock to the abdomen! But anyways. DOOM with an axe-kick on Distruct. DOOM follows up with three legdrops in a row. The count: 1...2...no. Distruct now with a flying shoulderblock. The cover: 1...2...kickout, and a rather weak cover I might add. DOOM with a piledriver! This could be over...1...2...shoulder up? Okay... DOOM seems mad now. Frustrated may be a better word. Distruct has taken quite a bit, but given out some as well. DOOM with a cobra clutch. Distruct, is he submitting? I can't see from this vantage point. The ref calls for the bell, so I suppose that might be it!
Announcer Lad: Here is your winner, and STIIIIIIIILL the STWF Heavyweight Champion, DOOM!
CT: Not a bad match, not bad at all. I was glad to be a part of tonight's episode, alone, without the annoying banter of Jamal, or Angus pointing out the obvious and complaining of my references. Unfortunately, Jamal of course goes alone next week. A treat for some, but not for me. Next week, we just might see that eight-man tag team match between the Rogue's Gallery and Sir O's boys, plus the mystery partner. I'd like to invite you to join Jamal then. I just hope you can understand him. Until next week, I'm Captain Twilight, and I might as well say, because it's tradition now, keep your pants off.

(Cut to Nurse Heidi, who's sleeping. She jolts back awake and wipe some drool off her lip. At least I think it was drool...)
SW: Fans, dats sum gud action right dere. An here sum more! Diss happened at Friday Friday Friday, numba 15! YOU GOTTA GET YOU SUM OF DISS! Let's go to Angus "Vince" McMadden an Jamal Tupac Mustafa for tha call.
(Again, the retro time capsule looking effect is shown on the t.v. as we drift backwards into wrestling's past. What, you didn't notice the other times? Must be a typo. Fade into McMadden and Jamal in an announcer's booth.)
AVM: There you have it, fans... Tiger finally gets a clean win over the Bohemoth, and becomes the new North American champion.
JTM: He ain't even earn it! Wrestler Smurf wasn't even out here! The big blue guy will have something to say about this!
AVM: I'm quite sure Wrestler Smurf will be in line for a shot soon... Of course, he obviously has issues with the Mira Maniac right now. It's been an eventful night, here. We've seen two up-and-comers go at it, the debut of the fabled Oni-san, and a new North American champion. If we were one of the OTHER promotions, that might be it... but NO! We have one more match of epic proportions! That's what puts the STWF over all other federations... we bring you pay-per-view quality matches every card. The ring has finally cleared, and the crowd has quieted down a little...
JTM: But, V... you's gotsta believe that they still on fire, 'cuz they know what's coming up next!
AVM: That's right... a REALLY big one coming up... B.F. Sack, and members of the Inner Circle, taking on members of the Entertainment Industry. Four on four, elimination tag team match! We're quickly running out of time, so let's get right down to ringside for the introductions.
{{The yet-to-be-determined Inner Circle theme plays as the team of Milwaukee's Best, Not Prisoner X, and B.F. Sack comes down the aisle. The crowd is on its feet, and going wild!}}
AVM: There is lots of speculation about the World Champion, B.F. Sack, and his involvement with the Inner Circle... some say he may actually be a member.
AL: Introducing first, representing the Inner Circle, the tag team champions of the world, Beast and Beast Light, Milwaukee's Best! Their tag team partner, also representing the Inner Circle, Not Prisoner X! And finally, team captain, the STWF Heavyweight Champion of the World, B.F. SACK!!
{{The crowd begins to boo an hiss loudly as the rap remix of "You're Gonna Make It Afterall" plays over the loud speaker. They begin to litter the aisle with even more trash.}}
AL: And now, their opponents, representing the Entertainment Industry, and led to the ring by Rimshot, Billy the Giant Goat, and Mr. Fred, Darren #3 and Rodney Ricardo, Nik At Nyte! Their fellow Industry partners: "Black" Jack Dealer, and Gruff!
AVM: Maybe this will put an end to the feud between Sack and the Entertainment Industry.
JTM: We can only hope.
AVM: Well, all combatants are in the ring. It looks like Gruff and Not Prisoner X, originally scheduled for singles action here tonight, will start things off. Gruff taking a moment to taunt Not-X... Not-X with a kick to Gruff's midsection. Gruff hits the canvas like a rock!
JTM: You ain't need to go tauntin' someone who's been in prison...
AVM: Prison? What are you talking about?
JTM: Nuffin'
AVM: Not-X is kicking Gruff now. Well, no one ever accused him of being a technical genius. Picks Gruff up... BIG scoop-slam. Goes for the cover... 1... 2... Dealer makes the save! Sack and Milwaukee's Best enter the ring to protest, but the referee orders them out... the ref with his back turned, giving the Entertainment Industry the perfect opportunity to quadruple-team Not Prisoner X!! Oh, come on! Haven't these guys ever heard of fair play?
JTM: No... all these guys know is fair pay...
AVM: You may very well be right. Finally, the referee turns his attention back to the match... Gruff and Not-X alone in the ring. It should just about be over for Not-X who has just sustained an awful beating. Gruff is pulling Not-X over to the corner... we could see the Billy Goat Moonsault... climbs the turnbuckles... YES! That should be it... 1... 2... 3! Not Prisoner X is the first man eliminated! As the referee rolls Not-X out of the ring, Beast charges Gruff not giving him the chance to tag... Irish whip to the ropes... Gruff ducks under a clothesline and gives the blind tag to Darren #3... Beast turns around, and locks up with Gruff, who is not the legal man... He's going for the press slam... but here comes Darren #3 off of the top rope, with a perfectly executed missile drop kick!!
JTM: Seems like Rimshot been teachin' da boyz some rasslin' moves...
AVM: Certainly does, doesn't it? Darren #3 picks Beast up, and delivers an atomic drop, with authority. I'm impressed with the Nik At Nyte members... they certainly seem more confident in the ring...
JTM: Don't get me wrong, V... I love them Armani suits... they phat, and all dat, but do they really have to rassle in them?
AVM: I wouldn't know. That's the Entertainment Industry for you... Beast leaps to the corner, and tags in Beast Light. Beast Light charges Darren #3 and takes him down with a beautiful hurricanrana! Straight into a pinning maneuver... 1... 2... the kick out on two. Darren #3 makes the quick tag to Rodney Ricardo. Ricardo and Beat Light lock up... Beast Light twirls around into the rear waist-lock.... German suplex! The pin... 1... 2... Ricardo kicks out! Wow... the action is fast and furious, and Beast Light actually has the Industry on the run... the tag is made now to "Black" Jack Dealer... let's hope the referee thought to take his razor cards away before the match... Nope, no such luck! He just whipped one out and flipped it straight at Beast Light!! What is this guys problem?!? He just got himself disqualified... the referee is ordering him out of this match. Meanwhile, Rodney Ricardo comes into the ring, and covers the lacerated Beast Light... 1... 2... 3! Beast Light is out of this thing as well! For those of you keeping score, it's now 3 on 2... Beast and Sack, who we have yet to see in this match, against Nik At Nyte, and Gruff. In the ring now is Ricardo and Beast...
JTM: Why ain't Sack been in this thing?
AVM: This could be a smart game plan on Sack's part... he saves himself, so he's fresh when he needs to get in the ring... Okay, back to the action. Gruff and Beast are really going at it... as with any match-up of big men, there's nothing pretty or technical about this... just fists and feet flying. The larger Gruff is actually overwhelming Beast... Beast down in a neutral corner, now... Gruff kicking away. Gruff grabs Beast's head now... turns him around... what's he doing? Oh! He's going for the front-face suplex... can he get it? Yes! Makes the cover... 1... 2... Not quite! Beast still has some fight left in him! Goes for it again... Front-face suplex... YES! That's two... makes the cover... 1... 2... 3! NO!! Up on two! But just barely! Gruff looks very frustrated now... pulls Beast over to the corner... perhaps for the Billy Goat Moonsault, the same move that finished off Not Prisoner X at the opening of this bout. Beast in position... Gruff climbing the turnbuckles... goes for it... NO!! Beast slides out of the way... Gruff looks like he just had all of he wind knocked out of him! Beast makes the cover... 1... 2... 3! We are back down to a level playing field, now... Nik At Nyte against B.F. Sack and Beast... Darren #3 in now...
JTM: I jus noticed... there's a lot of animals at ringside...
AVM: Very astute of you to notice... D3 and Beast staring each other down... there's a lot of history between Nik At Nyte and the Milwaukee's Best. The Best are the only team thus far to defeat Nik At Nyte. Let's see what happens here... Wait! What's this? Down the ramp, here comes the Vegas Connection! What are these guys doing here?
JTM: They up to no good, I jus knows it!
AVM: They're taunting Beast! They're... ... talking about his mother?! Oh, this is uncalled for! Beast leaps out of the ring, and charges them... however, the two-on-one situation is not being kind... the Connection quickly beat Beast down... the referee is making the count... 2... 3... 4... the Connection turns around and... ... gives an obscene gesture to Nik At Nyte?! What is going on around here? Is the Connection still with the Industry?
JTM: I think they is, but the gots itin fo' the new kids on the block, Nik At Nyte. The Connection been around... fo'mer tag champs... they ain't like D3 and Double R comin' in and stealin' their spotlight...
AVM: There's an old saying: A rising tide lifts ALL ships. Before Nik At Nyte came in, the Industry was prett stagnant... 9... 10... Beast has been counted out! The Connection are leaving, and this leave B.F. Sack alone to do battle with Nik At Nyte, the two men who started this feud to begin with... Sack enters the ring, and the crowd is going absolutely nuts!! D3 tags in Ricardo, and it looks like we're about to see some double-teaming here... ... the both charge, but Sack escapes... BIG scissor-kick sends D3 to the outside... grabs Ricardo... belly-to-belly suplex!! Wait!! He's going for it! Ricardo on the mat, Sack with the... YES!! Domino Effect! D3 is down, and Ricardo has no place to go!!
JTM: He's beating that mat like a congo drum! BABALU!! BAAAAAAABALU!
AVM: We can really do without the singing. Ricardo is out of this thing! Quick tap-out submission! The referee is rolling him out of the ring... meanwhile, D3 is crawling back in on the opposite side... Sack spots him... picks him up!! He's got more of the same for Darren #3!!! Belly-to-belly suplex, and... YES!! The Domino Effect! What's this? Darren #3 refuses to give up!
JTM: He's in da middle of da ring! He ain't got no place to go!
AVM: He's still hanging on! The referee right on top of things... Domino Effect sinched in... D3 still in there... ... it's only a matter of time... What's this? Slowly but surely... D3's looking dazed... his eyes are glazed over... he's going out! Going... going... ... ... the referee checks him... he's talking to him... D3's looking around, but gives no response... ... what's going to happen? Wait... I think... ... YES!! The referee stops the match!! B.F. Sack has single handedly defeated Nik At Nyte!
JTM: Man, V... that ain't right... the other three, da Inner Circle guys, helped soften them up...
AVM: Sack has won this thing!! Wow! What a match... one for the history books!! This was, perhaps, the biggest match in the history of Friday Friday Friday!! Sack's coming over here.. the fans are going nuts... I can't hear a word I'm even saying...
JTM: Yo, Sack... Man, you jus defeated Nik At Nyte and put da smack-down on the Entertainment Industry... whatchoo gonna do now?
Sack: I'm going to PorkLand!!
AVM: The champion and victor tonight, B.F. Sack, taking a moment to plug one of our new sponsors... PorkLand, the themepark where the piggies walk upright... Take a left at Ma's Deli, and go down the street about five miles, and you're there... look for the giant haystack. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a tremendous night... two weeks in the making. Join us here for next week for another Friday Friday Friday, because one Friday is never enough. For Jamal Tupac Mustafa, I'm Angus "Vince" McMadden saying "Keep Your Pants On." Wait, that's my Monday sign-off...

SW: DAMN! Dat's sum fine action right dere. Oh yeah.
NH: Scotty, I'm getting a cramp. How much longer is the trip down misery memory lane?
SW: Scotty? Who Scotty? I'm Dussy Whoads! "The Sounds Like An African American....Dream", I'm a legend! I've wined an dined wit kings an queens, an lived off bread an pork 'n beans, baby.
NH: WHAT-ever. (rolls eyes).
SW: WHOO WEE! Diss one be from Thursday Sumpin or Otha Numba 15. Dey be sum BAD BRUD in diss one, if ya weil. Let's get on wit it wit Gary "The Glutton", a big ole fat ass fatta dan me...an Angus McMadden again. GET YOU SUM OF DISS!
(Warp time again...)
AVM: Okay, let's see what we've got lined up for the main event here. (ruffles papers around trying to sound like he's just figuring it out now) Hmmm, let's make it title defense number three, shall we?
GG: The Tiger's not gonna be happy about rasslin' on a Thursday. That man's ego is bigger'n my gut.
AVM: That's one big ego, then. Now who have we got in the back there who's been wanting a shot at the Intergalactic Belt. Let's see, the first ranked Heavyweight to get out here will get a shot.
(Camera shot of the locker area, actually just outside the bathroom. Inside you can here a muffled murmur, followed by the sound of a flushing toilet. Then a lumbering Beanie capped in'duh'vidual runs by.
(Twinkle, Twinkle little star belts out of the speakers, and we hear a loud "AWWWWW, SH<-BLEEP->" coming from the bathroom.)
AVM: Mittens looks ready to go, now we're awaiting the arrival of the Intergalactic Champion, he's supposed to have the night off tonight, but too bad.
(Intergalactic, by the Beastie Boys plays, and out comes the Tiger, obviously not ready.)
AVM: OK folks, here's your Intergalactic Champion, the Tiger. As if you didn't already know. In this very ring, tonight, on a Thursday. Mittens vs. the Tiger. Can it get any better than THIS?
GG: Uh, yeah, like it could be a lot better. I mean, if you had waited five more minutes then....
AVM: Can't wait, Mittens is obviously the most deserving wrestler to get this title shot, despite the whining from the back. And I'm only saying what Mr. D.K. told me to, so don't come out here beating me up. Mittens and Tiger lock up, Mittens with the armbar on the champion. He pushes the Tiger into the turnbuckle, and rumbles in there with a avalanche, crushing the Tiger. He falls to the mat, and Mittens with the cover. 1..2..and the Tiger kicks out. Mittens slingshots Tiger into the ropes, goes for a huge dropkick, but Tiger holds onto the ropes, and Mittens goes down with a crash.
GG: Looks like Mittens is gonna have some kittens when he sees what's coming next.
AVM: Alright, Glutton, hand over that "Big Book of ESPN Sportcenter Catchphrases" and let us never speak of that last line again.
GG: Ohhhh, but I paid fifteen bucks for this!
(Angus snatches the book, then idly leafs through it and writes something down before putting it away.)
AVM: Tiger climbs up to the top turnbuckle, and drops an elbow on the prone Mittens. Lateral press. 1..2.. and Mittens brings up a shoulder. He's still in this thing. Mittens is getting back up. Tiger tries kicking the big fellow in his ample stomach, but Mittens catches the booted foot. Mittens all the way up, and the Tiger again levels Mittens with an enzuirigiri. Looks like it could be time for a Tiger Rack.
GG: Not if these guys have anything to say about it. It's the Heelside Stranglers, SMP and Soft Core Zack, coming down to the ring together, I never thought I'd live long enough to see that.
AVM: Me neither, you should have eaten yourself to death years ago. SMP and Zack are right at ringside, and the Tiger is exchanging witty remarks with the two of them. Mittens takes advantage, whips the distracted Tiger around, and Powerbombs him onto the mat! Oh no... Mittens with the Glove, could this be the quick end of the Tiger's illustrious reign?
(Sound of stuff breaking is heard.)
AVM: It's Luke Warm everybody! Luke Warm is IN DA FACIZILITY! Coming down to the ring, SMP meets him, STONECUTTER! Luke Warm in the ring, STONECUTTER on the ref! Mittens up, STONECUTTER on him! Now SMP and Soft Core Zack are in the ring, beating on Luke Warm. Tiger is getting up, little bit unsteady on that twisted leg of his.
GG: Uh-oh, here comes trouble. It's Bohemoth.
AVM: Bohemoth hits the ring, and......plays peacemaker???? This is a first. Bo is in between the two groups, not a very smart thing to do at this point. He puts a hand on S.M.P.'s chest, trying to talk some sense into him, on the other side, Tiger and Luke Warm are panting heavily. Mittens is back up, he sees Bohemoth's back turned, and double axehandles him. Mittens out of the ring and heading for the hills before you can say boo.
GG: Boo! Yeah, you're right. Bo turns, he sees the Tiger staring at him, and pointing over Bo's shoulder at the fleeing Mittens. Bo wags his finger back and forth, as if to say, "I'm not falling for that old one, not again at least".
AVM: Bohemoth and Tiger jawing at each other. Bo pushes the Tiger, and all hell breaks loose once again, Bo and Tiger exchanging rights and lefts, SMP and Soft Core Zack are doubleing up on Luke Warm, I'd love to show you more but we are out of time! Join us right here next time, as the male soap opera continues. Or something.
SW: WHOO WEE! Wish we could show ya tha end of dat!
NH: That WAS the end, you idiot.
SW: Oh really? Are you sure?
NH: Yes, I am...and take that stupid pillow out from under your shirt, you look retarded.
SW: But I'M DUSSY WHOADS!
NH: *ahem*
(The lights go out. Not due to anybody entering the ring, the power is gone. Zilch, nothing nadda. Scotty and Heidi are seen again, now wearing different clothing)
SW: Okay people...in case you don't watch the news, there was a train accident here the other day and some hazardous materials spilled out onto the ground. The arena was evacuated and the rest of the show cancelled.
NH: But we have some good news, right Scotty?
SW: Oh yeah, we still have our formats...and we're going to tell you what would have happened if everything followed the script. WHOO HOO!
NH: Wonders never cease...
SW: Okay, okay, enough of that. Here's what would have happened. SMP was to come out without douja because douja retired and/or was arrested for having drugs on him or something. However, The Doc had hand picked some "opponents" and was going to try to defend the belts by himself.
NH: Yeah, some team... Necro Phil and some guy named Beastie Al calling themselves The REALLY Nasty Boys. What a joke.
SW: But, OH NO. Commissioner VP wasn't going to be fooled. He came out and demanded SMP defend the titles against those flunkie goobers Josh and Jim of KSK. SMP had a tantrum as the teeny bop heroes marched out.
NH: And then poor Sil made like he was going to leave the ring, grabbed his wagon with all 8 titles belts in it...when he suddenly ran back to the ring swinging one half of the Mighty Bastard Psycho Driver tag-team titles over his head. Josh backdropped him and the title landed on Sil's head. Jim then pinned him, and VP declared Massively Packaged the Four Play tag-team champions while SMP foamed at the mouth and nearly had an coronary burst.
SW: And boy did those pre-pube honies scream for Josh and Jim! It was like Duran Duran came back and toured again!
NH: Oh hell no. I saw Duran in '84 and Josh and Jim is NO Duran Duran. Ahhhh, John Taylor was such a hottie. (daydreams momentarily about her teen years, looking at that poster of John, and reaching under the pillow for that "little special friend." Batteries Not Included.)
SW: Heidi? You okay?
NH: Shhhhh, gimme a minute.
SW: Ummmm, well SMP then was to pull a contract out of his back pocket, saying the match was not official because the bell never sounded. VP buys it, and awards the titles back to SMP. Then as Commissioner, strips SMP of the belts because one man can't hold 'em. Then delared the belts vacant!
NH: That brought on tantrum number three. Not long after, Kamikazie Ken and Insano Mano drop from the rafters and jump Josh and Jim...still pissed about KSK calling them jobbers some time back. VP sees all this, and declares at the PPV Massively Packaged will face Ken and Mano for the vacant straps!
SW: Gravy! That'll sell some tickets. (Looks around nervously)
NH: Then main event time came around, and to make a long story short...McKillalot and Bo were really going at it until BigBoss gave SMP and Hank the "run-in greenlight". Even Billy Polar joined in! Those Not Quite Millionaires are really causing some problems.
SW: Yeah, then Billy was going to hit Donald with a Randy Savage like top rope elbow that I dubbed "The Yale-Bow". Get it? Havard guys HATE Yale men! Everytime Billy drops it on somebody he can pretend he's smashing a Yaley! WHOO HOO, BABY! I RULE LIKE A SONOFA!
NH: *yawn* Then the lights went out as SMP and Hank punked on Bo again.
SW: YEAH! SMP must have got ahold of some bad lasagne...that stuff REEKED!
NH: I said PUNKED, dummy! Anyway, the lights flicked and the Sanford and Son themed played...the place went gonzo as B.F. Sack came down and cleared the ring of the baddies. B.F. then challenged SMP and Hank at the PPV, with Bo and Sack's partner in an Ultimate Revenge Grudgey Type Vengenace Match. VP signed it on the spot.
SW: Cool, now if only Billy and Donald can follow up on their fight, we might have our main event for the PPV! *winks*
NH: We'll see. Hey Scotty, how much of that smoke cloud did you breathe in? It looks like you're losing your hair.
SW: WHAT?! NO WAY...I'll look like that freak Dennis! Get me a mirror! GET ME A MIRROR!
(Mercifully, the credits roll)

Getting into the IT services franchise industry doesn't actually require you to have an IT background. Did you know that? Chances are, you didn't.
The Drawbacks of Building an IT Company on Your Own
Now, if you were to try and open an IT company on your own, and without the help of a franchise, things would be very different.
For starters, you'd need to have a background and education in IT service. For this, you would have had to work for years in the IT industry. This is really the only way you'd be able to do the work that you are promising your customers you can do for them.
How to Start Your Own IT Business without an IT Background
If you're interested in getting in on a global, multi-million dollar industry in the IT business, the fastest way is with an IT franchise.
With an IT franchise, you can start your own IT business in as little as 12 weeks. That's from start to finish. Doesn't that sound good?
Leverage Massive Growth in Technology with Your IT Franchise Business
The technology industry is growing at an unprecedented rate. Sales numbers never before seen in history are taking place every day. New records are being broken; at the same time, devices are being broken.
Consumers drop their devices, sit on them and spill things on them. Some devices just stop working. They freeze up, get viruses or refuse to turn on.
That's where you come in. With your IT franchise business, you will provide technical service, managed networks and technology services to consumers. You won't ever have to do the work yourself, though, and that's the key benefit to starting your own IT service in 12 weeks.
As a managed services provider, you will have technology partners who take care of the actual hands-on service. You will have a fleet of managed networks consisting of technology partners who have the IT background that you don't have to.
You'll be working with SMEs to help them leverage technology growth. So while your own bottom line is growing, you'll be assisting others in the same industry to grow their businesses. It's a win-win situation.
Becoming a Nerds On Site Area Developer
To get started in the expanding world of IT services franchise, the shortest path is by becoming a Nerds On Site Area Developer. The Nerds On Site Area Developer is essentially a networking partner who builds the fleet of technology partners. It's easy to learn more and get started.
Who is Right for This?
As stated above, you don't need a background in IT to get started in this exciting field. In fact, it's better if you don't have an IT background for this particular franchise opportunity.
IT people tend to get bogged down in the details of the actual service, whereas it's better not to have a background in IT much at all. This has proven to make great area developers for an IT franchise like Nerds On Site.
The ideal candidate would be an awesome networker. If you're someone who enjoys meeting new people, building relationships and sustaining partnerships, this might be a good fit for you.
The ideal candidate would also enjoy traveling to meet new technology partners and establish connections with potential new partners. The bigger your network grows, the bigger your IT business grows. Networking on a human level is the key to growing your IT service business in 12 weeks.
If all this sounds appealing, then you owe it to yourself to look deeper into it. Working in the ever-expanding IT industry can be rewarding and exciting. Call or email today to learn more about how you can open an IT services franchise!

In a development that will surprise nobody who has read the last few entries on this blog, I have played zero Master League on 2011 since a solitary session on the new PS3 last week.
Instead, the unlikely myClub story continues.
I have changed the name of the team.
Coventry City is very much a Master League phenomenon. The name and the custom kit rightly belong there.
I chose a new name for the club more fitting for the kind of adventure this feels like. PES Chronicles FC was the result. It still feels like a placeholder name. It doesn't feel very 'me', somehow, to be waving a flag for the blog with the name of my online team. Think I'll change it again soon.
I picked Fiorentina's kit and badge to turn out in, even though the current version is far from the best version of the strip.
That lineup seen above is my 1-star Irregulars team. So far it's my favourite team to play with in myClub, as it's an exclusively offline team. I'm not brave enough to take them online yet, as I'm simply not good enough yet.
I took a break from the punishment of Divisions (6 losses and 2 draws in Division 11) to play a one-off Online match where the prize was a free Black Ball spin – a big deal for me as I have yet to get a Black Ball player. These are the créme de la créme of players in the game. The top players' presence (and absence) really make a difference in PES online.
myClub is currently running a World Cup-themed feature that I just about understand. Basically, for this week, if you temporarily adopt the 'skin' of any World Cup nation's team (in the same way that I have adopted Fiorentina's 'skin'), you get all manner of GP bonuses in your post-match kitty. I haven't done it yet, and probably won't do it. I'm bewildered enough with everything as it is.
My opponent for the Black Ball match was PAOK Thessaloniki, but he had taken on the kit and name of Nigeria to enjoy whatever bonuses he hoped to make.
Here are the two-minute highlights of the match. I'm in the deep violet kit, now, remember. You can see my hesitancy and naïveté from the very start. Fortunately, my opponent was not one of the clinical, ruthless finishers who tend to make up the average opponent.
A very, very lucky win. I created nothing in this match, no clear-cut chances, and I was reduced to taking the kinds of potshots you see me trying throughout. That effort with Torres at 0:40 might well be the worst shot attempt made by anyone online – or generally, in any football game – ever.
Online, I want too much time to play the same sort of game that I've been playing offline for 20+ years. An AI opponent will politely let you turn 180 degrees to lay the ball off to a teammate. The average online opponent won't do that.
Stepping up to online play is analogous to what Championship players always say of adjusting to life in the Premier League. Suddenly, you lose a comfortable margin and your game is disrupted.
So this win was a fluke, an anomaly. I clearly didn't deserve to win it, but my opponent fluffed all his chances. I did not fluff my one (lucky) chance, so the Black Ball was mine.
I excitedly rushed to the Hall of Spinning Balls, and I spun those balls.
And got David Silva (AMF, OPR 80, Level 1). Not the most energising result but with him being Level 1 he will level up to something much more than he is now.
Playing myClub means that I was soon anxiously scrutinising every single one of his stats. The PES database indicates he could level up to 95 for Ball Control. He's on 87 right now and is not too shabby.
And that really is the most marked achievement of myClub. It makes stats, and how they manifest in players, seem to matter again. I haven't drilled down into player stats this deep since the PS2 days.
I appreciate that some readers of the blog feel I skim over stats and the tactical side of PES in favour of the 'big picture' ML story. Some may wish I would talk formations and stats and skills in PES a lot more than I do.
They say be careful what you wish for.

DALLAS — Tears flooded her eyes as she stood at center ice at the American Airlines Center and drank in the love of 11,000 people, wishing she could skate all night to savor the feeling.
Michelle Kwan will remember her seventh U.S. figure skating championship not merely because she's now second in the record books to Maribel Vinson Owen's nine titles, or because she became the first skater to win six consecutive U.S. titles since Gretchen Merrill from 1943-48.
She will remember it because it reaffirmed in her mind, after a second disappointing Olympic experience, that her decision to continue competing was right for her. Not because she won, but because she relished the process.
"Seven times. Lucky number seven," Kwan said after sweeping all nine judges in Saturday's free skate to retain her lead and defeat Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes in their first competition since Salt Lake City. Hughes, skating last in the final group of six, climbed from third to second, but Sasha Cohen of Laguna Niguel faltered and dropped from second to third. The trio will compete at the world championships in Washington in March.

Portsmouth crash out of UEFA Cup
Portsmouth crashed out of the UEFA Cup last night going down 3-2 away to Wolfsburg. Veteran goalkeeper David James produced another howler to hand victory to the Bundesliga side.
Wolfsburg went ahead through Edin Dzeko and Arnold Mvuemba before Jermain Defoe and Christian Gentner got Portsmouth back on level terms. Tony Adams side only needed a draw to reach the last 32 of the UEFA Cup and things were looking good until James' blunder.
The England keeper had a moment of madness in the 74th minute when he failed to control a back pass which Zvjezdan Misimovic took advantage of and scored into the empty net. Wolfsburg are now top of Group E with Milan in second place.

The Philippine Bureau of Customs (BOC) missed its July collection by 24.2%, taking in P23.823 billion vis-à-vis the target of P31.441 billion.
The July collection comprises only cash revenues. There was no contribution from the tax expenditure fund (TEF) or payment from government imports. The TEF target for July was P721 million.
Compared to the target of P30.720 billion, July cash collections were short by 22.5%.
Year-on-year, however, the latest monthly take is 11.9% higher from July 2011's P21.284 billion.
"I already issued a letter to all collectors asking them to explain why their collection is so low. This is the first time I did this because this is also the first time that I saw that the trend in collection is downwards. I am really concerned," Customs commissioner Rozzano Rufino Biazon said.
The Cebu collection district responded that it experienced a 31% drop in dutiable volume.
From January to July, collections amounted to P167.250 billion, down 15.8% from the comparable period's target of P198.616 billion.
For the seven-month period, cash collection was also lower by 14.2% to P166.563 billion from the P194.061 goal.
The TEF dipped 84.9% from the target of P4.555 billion to P688 million.
The seven-month figure is also 11.6% less than P149.841 billion reported last year.

There is far more inventory available for buyers concerned about their purchasing power. Available inventory in the lower price ranges is higher now compared to several years ago in Calgary's current market. This provides more options for potential buyers concerned about their purchasing power given all the changes in the lending market.
October's housing market conditions closely echoed previous month's trends with easing sales, rising inventories and downward price pressure. Like last month, the monthly activity was not enough to derail gains that occurred earlier in the year.
Resale inventory gains occurred in each product type and across most districts in the city. The largest gains were in districts with substantial new development growth. In the detached segment, the largest number of new listings added to inventory occurred in the $300,000 – $500,000 price range. This represents nearly 42 % of all detached inventory. Note that 62 % of the inventory in the city-wide market is priced below $500,000.
– The largest monthly price change occurred in the apartment condominium sector.
– Prices in the attached and detached segments remain relatively stable compared to last year.
While economic activity has improved in 2017, it will take some time for this to translate into housing market growth. Employment gains have occurred in areas with traditionally lower income.
We also continue to face weak migration, higher lending rates and changes to lending policy. The combination of these factors is impacting housing demand, which is prolonging the pace of recovery.

Hands-only Remote Control Emerges in Taiwan
A Taipei university team has developed a tiny chip that allows remote control over home appliances with no more than a wave of the hand and features that make it faster, cheaper and more resistant to interference than rival inventions, the professor in charge said on Tuesday. Users of the chip developed by the National Taipei University of Technology's graduate automation institute can switch on televisions, home stereos and air conditioners by hand from two meters away, Professor Chen Wen-hui said. They can adjust volumes or change settings the same way, he said. The graduate institute is applying for a patent to sell what it believes to be a "significantly faster" device-less remote control system that what other research institutions have developed, Chen said. It will also cost less, though Chen said prices had not been set. Signals should be top of the line, he said, given that "what people fear the most is interference."
