  - Jessie who runs the YNAB board posts some unfortunate news: No sale. - Qale Jun 11, 16:00 2

- Meg & I welcome you to the 'good' group :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 11, 13:42 5
  - aw, I felt bad for you reading those posts. tumblr isn't like the click-through quizzes, it's sets of single posts - when you click on one, you see - b. Jun 11, 13:45 4
    - why? they designed it wrong -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 11, 13:46 3
      - true, it's not necessarily as intuitive as it could be for new visitors. -- nm - b. Jun 11, 13:49 1

Sad thing is, Dusty Rhodes would never make it in wrestling today..... - groiny Jun 11, 13:33 25
- you know...I think he would have been the exception. His charisma and promos would have made him an exception -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:34 17
  - he would have to get there first, and my guess is they would laugh him out of the building. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:38 15
    - Maybe....but I never though Kevin Owens or Bray Wyatt would get there as well -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:40 14
      - well, I do not know who Owens is, but did Wyatt not have a really goofy gimmick when he broke in? -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:41 13
        
        Owens is a guy who isn't a WWE prototype and has laid out Cena repeatedly... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 11, 13:46 [youtube] 12

        I think Cena will win by DQ, and then Owens will say he doesn't need to fight Cena again, until - Tim Jun 11, 14:18 4
        
        I do think it will end with OWens taking the US title. I just think Cena gets a real win first. -- nm - pmb Jun 11, 14:38 2
        
        Meh, a clean win by Cena just kills everything they're doing with Owens. - Tim Jun 11, 14:55
        
        I hope not...not becuase I don't like Cena, but because WWE just trades wins for Cena (and everyone else) - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:42
        
        could be. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 14:25

        HA! -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:49
  - Yep, he was one of a kind -- nm - eag Jun 11, 13:37
- Yep, him, Dr Death , and Stan Hansen would have no chance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:34 6
  - agree on Death and Hansen. Those guys had zip personality -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:35 5
    - Hansen is a minor god in Japan, Dr. Death is solid himself. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:36 4
      - oh he's worshiped in Japan. But in today's climate? no way he couldn't talk on the stick and Death had zero charisma, though he was a beast in the rin -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 13:40 3

Cops in the Tamir Rice case have just been charged. -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 13:32 5

- which one was this? -- nm - groiny Jun 11, 13:43 2
  - The cop who drove up next to a kid and then shot him from like 8 feet away. - Will Hunting Jun 11, 13:53

- Google says that they will downgrade you if the site isn't responsive. That's the easiest way to do that. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 14:03 3
  - What do you mean by responsive? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 11, 14:09 1
    - Responsive Design is a way of targeting your site to various screen sizes but with the same HTML (rather than having a mobile-specific page). - Beryllium Jun 11, 14:32
