LYC: I took a few minutes to chill. Then I went downstairs to the donburi place - loosilu Nov 26, 03:25
Ok, this is not fun. I want dinner, but all the signs and menus are in Japanese. I can't order from pictures -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 00:23 14
- we ordered from pics all the time. we were on an adventure. -- nm - Diva Nov 26, 07:00
- there is mcdonalds - teriyaki chicken sandwich or soya marinated quarter pounders -- nm - gort Nov 26, 00:36 9

      - I'm in Shirakawa, Koto City -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 00:50
      - google for nearby curry restaurants - not spicy and beef / chicken / shrimp with rice -- nm - gort Nov 26, 00:44 5
        
        Spicy is fine. My problem is weird meat texture, like fatty or chewy. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 01:23
        
        I don't want curry or shrimp. Hang on -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 00:49 3
        
        yoshinoya is pretty safe with beef / chicken rice bowls -- nm - gort Nov 26, 01:07 2
        
        Well, this neighborhood has what the last one didn't, which is seafood. That's dinner. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 01:59
        
        Oh jeez, I can't do that fatty beef. This is exactly what I was worried about. Trying to find an English menu. -- nm - loosilu Nov 26, 01:22
- Pantomime time! Be sure to make animal noises as well. -- nm - mafic Nov 26, 00:29

  - very nice :) Shockingly, I don't own any ugly christmas sweaters. Maybe I should change that. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 21:55 1
    - This one's just a long-sleeve tee-shirt but it works in SoCal :) -- (pic) -- (link*) - Meg Nov 25, 22:21 [Attachment]
Rollins flipping out closer shot.... -- (edited) - Remlik Nov 25, 20:59 13
- He looks mad. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 26, 08:11
- Hunter and Nick Khan initiated conversations with Punk - Remlik Nov 26, 06:53 1
  - Cora Jade 8 years ago -- (link) - Remlik Nov 26, 06:56
- The problem with this line of thinking is that he has trashed Punk for years, never expecting a WWE return. - David Nov 25, 21:11 9
  - Until I see evidence otherwise that he’s on his best behavior, he’s gone by WrestleMania. -- nm - Tim Nov 25, 21:22 6
    - Im neither pro or anti Punk i had dropped off wrestling during his time i know both good stuff and the bad stuff to me hes like Rodman or maybe T.O -- nm - eag Nov 25, 21:38
    - I think they'll do everything they can to keep him until WM, even if it means him recording from home. But yes. -- nm - David Nov 25, 21:33
    - One positive for him—there won’t be an indie 3rd-rate kid doing stupid shit like real glass - Will Hunting Nov 25, 21:31 3
      - Jungle Man torpedoed his career so fast over something stupid. - Tim Nov 25, 21:47 2
        
        I suspect history will remember him quite fondly for that. -- nm - David Nov 25, 22:19 1
        
        He might get fondness for the fight but the lead to that was stupidity. - Will Hunting Nov 26, 07:16
  - it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out. -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 21:17 1
    - Yep and loosing McIntyre isnt a big deal anymore -- (edited) - eag Nov 25, 21:29
holy smack, 30 down in the Sun NYTxword is an Olympic-level groaner - prayformojo 🐵 Nov 25, 20:30
Details on Punk's deal that came together this week, they started talking early this week - Remlik Nov 25, 20:25 15
- There's a terrific video of the microreactions of all the top stars outside the cage. Only Cody looks calm. - David Nov 25, 20:39 14
  - Link? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 20:43 4
    - this one I think -- (link) - Remlik Nov 25, 20:45 3
      - I’m cracking up at the scene in the cage. WarGames! — everyone milling around like the game just ended. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 20:48 2
        
        They’re off the air (or at least not focusing on the ring) but it’s funny to see the Judgement Day guys just standing around no longer selling. -- nm - Tim Nov 25, 21:27 1
        
        Yeah…at least lay down and wait. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 21:32
  - They're all going to make so much money. Rollins and Punk is the natural one to me. I also think he's got an announcer career ahead if he wants it - Remlik Nov 25, 20:41 8
    - I had your optimism two years ago, and we see how that turned out. Everyone in that shot loves the Bucks. This won't end well. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:45 5
      - Cody just mocked TK and the EVPS in the presser with an EVP joke and it was funny, look if Punk flames out here in the WWE - Remlik Nov 25, 20:58
      - They’ll make a ton of money or prove he’s the bad guy… - Will Hunting Nov 25, 20:47 3
        
        Or the talent, starting with HHH, will grow bitter about the fact that Endeavor is calling the shots. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:50 2
        
        And Drew McIntyre, whose contract hasn't been renewed yet, just stormed out of the building as soon as WarGames ended. - David Nov 25, 20:58 1
        
        hes got 5 month left on the contract. No one knows why he stormed out is the word right now -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 21:02
    - This video? -- (link) - Remlik Nov 25, 20:44 1
      - There's a different one where Cody has to give Rollins his belt, and Seth won't take it. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:46
So, Rollins / Punk and Reigns / Rhodes are the WM main events - Will Hunting Nov 25, 20:17 3
- Rhea/Becky or Becky/Jade might come close -- nm - eag Nov 25, 20:42 2
  - Becky isn’t hot right now. That’s a big match but it’s not … BIG. Ronda/Becky was BIG. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 20:44 1
    - Also you might get an LA Knight /Punk match - eag Nov 25, 21:12
WHOA!!!! -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 25, 19:58
CM Punk sighting. Poor Tim. -- nm - David Nov 25, 19:50 17
- Insanity is repeating the same mistakes over and over! -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 19:59
- Here it is if you want to see it. -- (link) - David Nov 25, 19:56 5
  - That pop is instantaneous. Jesus. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 19:57 4
    - They were chanting for Punk periodically through the night, and the match storyline was that Orton wasn't there yet. - Tim Nov 25, 20:01
    - (It's in Chicago if you didn't know.) -- nm - David Nov 25, 19:57 2
      - I know. It’s a huge pop but that was *guita—roof comes off* -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 19:59 1
        
        So huge that neither Cole or Graves said anything - eag Nov 25, 20:39
- I know it’s WWE and never say never but this one honestly shocks me. Like Hogan is craven. - Will Hunting Nov 25, 19:54 8
  - It’s so crazy it almost makes me wonder if he had a deal with wwe to get himself released by aew. - pmb Nov 25, 20:01 1
    - I sincerely doubt he did with WWE, but I feel pretty confident he did with Endeavor. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:02
  - This just underscores that Endeavor calls the shots, not anyone in WWE. He's an Endeavor guy. -- nm - David Nov 25, 19:56 5
    - Hunter will make it work. It's what best for business. -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 19:58 2
      - Hunter literally called security on him a few months ago during the previous Chicago show. He's a eunuch here. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:02 1
        
        A eunuch buried in Slim Jim shame. -- nm - David Nov 25, 20:06
    - Likely but it’s not like Vince et al were never willing to hold fast to a blacklist. Savage is about the only person who never got a 2nd chance -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 19:58 1
      - Maybe Vince always believed the rumor about Randy and his daughter -- nm - eag Nov 25, 20:12
- I can't say I didn't pop because they fooled everyone. - Tim Nov 25, 19:53
Punk is there -- nm - pmb Nov 25, 19:50 1
- Triple H did the copyright bug thing again. - Tim Nov 25, 19:51
HOLY SHIT -- nm - Tim Nov 25, 19:50
Cole referencing that Cody was the main person behind All In is absolutely wild. -- nm - Tim Nov 25, 19:36 4
- he also name checked Jericho and Edge -- nm - Remlik Nov 25, 21:10
- I suspect WWE is gonna mention AEW quite a bit more from now on. -- nm - David Nov 25, 19:57 2
  - It wasn't a direct mention, but Cole doesn't get enough credit for how good he is when Vince isn't yelling in his ear. - Tim Nov 25, 20:02 1
    - Fun fact: we were playing videogames. I turned on Survivor Series in time to see the replay of Orton almost breaking that guy's neck then the logo. -- (edited) - David Nov 25, 20:04
Estime is averaging almost 10 yards a carry tonight. That's seems rather good. -- nm - Baron-Yogg Nov 25, 18:08 1
- I don't ever recall not being able to view a Notre Dame football game on my TV before tonight. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Nov 25, 18:26
I continue to have bandwidth problems between 5:00 and 6:00pm every evening - and this isn't a workday so can't blame the coming homers. -- (link) - Meg Nov 25, 17:28 [Backboard]
Marty Krofft passed away at 86 -- nm - budice Nov 25, 17:23

- Oregon was a 7.5pt fave vs WAS in the Pac12 Champ this morning. Its now 9.5 points -- nm* - budice Nov 25, 17:00 3
  - I think Oregon is going to beat that spread. -- nm - jnine Nov 25, 20:02
  - That's .... certainly a take. - Will Hunting Nov 25, 17:15
  - Wow -- nm - psilotum Nov 25, 17:11
Please keep voting for Marcel Lebrun every day (can vote 1 time per day) -- (link) - Beaker 🍻 Nov 25, 16:33 2

- this is what he is doing -- (link) - Beaker 🍻 Nov 25, 17:14
the funniest outcome by far is Michigan winning The Game without Harbaugh and then losing to Iowa next week with him. Unlikely but we can dream -- (link) - Beaker 🍻 Nov 25, 16:31 2
- First team to 5 wins. -- nm - Baron-Yogg Nov 25, 17:53
- If only… -- nm - VMan Nov 25, 16:34
Znu, do you have a Target close by? Pre-built, DIY, and lighted ornaments. -- (link) - Meg Nov 25, 16:10 1

SEC football is amazing. -- nm - David Nov 25, 16:03 6

        You can see it on the left side of this page. -- (link) - David Nov 25, 17:56 1
