WFWF General Discussion 2019

I took me much longer than usual but this past weekend I got my RP to the point I'm happy with it.  I'll be posting what I think is a competitive piece on time as usual.  I don't have a job or the family life to deal with that you do though.  I feel ya that it can be a lot to get done in your free time... and that's when you don't have to deal with an illness along the way.

A general note for everybody: today and tomorrow are the time to ask for extensions if a day or two is all that separates you from finishing an RP you are proud to post.

I have no problem with an extension to midnight EST on Saturday.  I much prefer taking my chances against a good RP than getting a default victory over an incomplete piece.

You guys are talking about moving some stuff off this site, which is great and all, but I'm beyond glad the general discussion title is back to our current times. Thanks Drakz and bad guy™ for making it 2006 in the old thread in retaliation to my slight OCD.

White room?

Fun facts.

Neither Schneider nor myself were planning on RPing for that show, we just made it look like Schneider had backed out so we could continue the build for another PPV cycle before the payoff at Superbrawl, which was actually my first match back after a year hiatus, so it wasn't for the title either. So yeah, I didn't write an RP until much later for the Superbrawl match.

Clock & dagger.

So, I like to tell stories, and I'd meant to share this one back after it happened, but then I didn't. Anyway, it came up at work today, so, y'know, kinda fun...

...back at the beginning of the month, my wife and I were on Long Island for a weekend to see Rob Paulsen & Randy Rogel perform together at the Tilles Center (if you don't know who these two are and can't figure out why we drove from god damned NH to LI for a 90 minute concert, stop what you're doing and look them up now). The plan was drive in, see the show, spend the night, enter the Hamilton lottery, and hit the big city the next day win, lose, or draw (spoiler - we still haven't seen Hamilton).

Living in NH, I've driven into "the big city" (Boston) on a fairly regular basis since I was 16. I generally think people afraid to do so are kind of a puss and personally revoke their Townie cards whenever they b*tch about how scary/overwhelming/frustrating it can be. Like, the Boston House of Blues is next door to Fenway Park, and unless the Sox are playing, I'd much rather drive straight into Kenmore and pay the $15 to park in the Landsdowne garage than pay the same amount to park in Cambridge and hike a 45 minute train ride in (and back at the end of the night).

Suffice to say, I wasn't jazzed about driving into a city that could sit on my beloved center of the universe without anyone noticing she'd gone missing, but I wasn't particularly psyched out by the matter...

...and rightfully so!

Boston - I luh u, bae, but NYC has got you beat, bruised, and broken when it comes to driving and parking. I sh*t you not, we just fired up the iPhone directions from the hotel to the garage we wanted to hit right smack dab in Times Square and just got down to it - 45 minutes in (same from my place to Boston), $20, done for the day.

I am never, ever, ever getting on one of the Chinese buses to get to NYC outta Boston again. I'm just driving.

and this is signs that if you do it right, kayfabe can be obtained within even efedding.

I thought your name was Shawn, not Mark.

jk. wuv u.

As you may or may not know, I lived in Davis Square in Somerville for ten years.  I used to go to the various clubs in Central Square all the time for shows, taking the T into Boston.  Real pain in the ass though because the shows would end after the T stopped running for the night meaning I'd have to take a cab back home if I couldn't hitch a ride with a friend.  One and only complaint I have about mass transit in Boston.
