Eddie "Umaga" Fatu died last night at the age of 36. I want to say I was surprised, but at this point anyone who's been through the WWE meat grinder is fair game for an early death these days.
The "Twilight Zone" celebrated its 50th anniversary a month or two ago and it no one seemed to notice, which I found rather odd. Borrowed a DVD of the show and it (with one or two exceptions) it holds up spectacularly.
Anyone played Super Mario Wii? Is it any good? Mario has always been by Achilles heel in video games. I was and still am no good at timing jumps. My wife tears me to shreds on SMB3.

Another wrestler died? That sucks and it makes people wonder if they REALLY want to get into that profession
I never watched the twilight zone so I can't really comment on that one. I know its like a creepy kind of sci-fi/horror show but I never watched it as a kid.
I played SM Wii at an EB Games and honestly...I'm not that into it but then again I don't own a wii anymore so there ya go!

Speaking of comments that don't warrant a thread...
Who DID win the Warmonger title in 2003?

Holy Shit! Umaga is dead? You're kidding me right? He didn't look like a 'roid user. He was pretty damn healthy despite his weight, especially with all the crap he was pulling in the ring as of late.
I half expect people to find guys all jacked up like Batista laying face down in their apartments one day out of the blue or something, not guys like Umaga.

In retrospect, I'm real sorry I didn't think of the trio of Paul Doom, Spooky Doom and Joe "Deadman" Pansac any sooner.

Yeah, I'm really surprised you didn't. That'd have been kick ass.

I'm surprised that no one made "The Aussie and The Wrestler" starring Paul Hogan and Hulk Hogan.

I don't even know what some of those are and have both of you beat.
But yeah, I love stuff like that. When I was in college we were out fundraising in Lancaster, PA. We stumbled upon a bit of religious propaganda that listed out every unique sin listed in the New Testament. We used it to entertain ourselves (it was cold that day and we needed something to keep our minds off the weather) by riffing on it the whole time.
When we got back to the dorm, we did what any sensible college kids would do - we made a contest to see who could get the highest number. I think 106/117 or so finally won.
(Before anyone gets offended, I showed the book to a few people who are very devout in their Christianity and even they said the thing was taken incredibly out of context and classified it as hack garbage. I don't mind religion, but I hate when it's done poorly).

If I'm offended by your statements, then by the Bible itself, I should be destined for hell.
They say God has a sense of humor, so I'm banking on that being an absolute truth. I mean come on, he got baked and made the Platypus for Christ sakes. The big man absolutely MUST have a sense of humor.

Damnit, you beat me to the Platypus joke!
From one of my favorite movies ever:
"Disclaimer: 1) a renunciation of any claim to or connection with; 2)a disavowal; 3) a statement made to save one's own ass.
Though it'll go without saying ten minutes or so into these proceedings, View Askew would like to state that this film is- from start to finish- a work of comedic fantasy, not to be taken seriously. To insist that any of what follows is incendiary or inflammatory is to miss our intention and pass undue judgment; and passing judgment is reserved for God and God alone (this goes for you film critics too... just kidding).
So please - before you think about hurting someone over this trifle of a film, remember: even God has a sense of humor. Just look at the platypus. Thank you and enjoy the show.
P.S. We sincerely apologize to all platypus enthusiasts out there who are offended by that thoughtless comment about the platypi. We at View Askew respect the noble platypus, and it is not our intention to slight these stupid creatures in any way.
Than you again and enjoy the show.

I caught about 3 minutes of Smackdown! on Friday. It was the segment where CM Punk trashed the Jeff Hardy DVD. It took four years but finally his script reads have almost the same emotion as his ROH promos. Now he just needs some excuse to snap and yell "THIS IS REAL! THIS IS TRUE! THIS... IS... STRAIGHT EDGE!!!"
Dammit, I'm jonesing for Punk vs. Raven right about now...
