I voted for Ryback. I loved the blue/orange color scheme.

Oh man, I've talked about it here before, and my first show was a barn-burner. Undercard was MEH, but we're talking Boise, ID is Feb. of '88 here. 01. S.D. Jones pinned Luscious Johnny Valiant 02. Outlaw Ron Bass pinned Brady Boone 03. Dangerous Danny Davis pinned Sam Houston 04. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions the Jumping Bomb Angels defeated the Glamour Girls 05. Ken Patera pinned Demolition Smash (with Demolition Ax) 06. The Ultimate Warrior and Hercules Hernandez battled to a double-countout 07. Hulk Hogan & Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Ted DiBiase & Virgil (with Andre the Giant) when Hogan pinned Virgil
Of note: Andre was wearing that famous suit jacket of his that he always wore (the gray plaid one), and some Idaho hick threw an egg at him, which got his lapel all gunked up. BOY, was he hot. He grabbed the house mic and called us all a bunch of #$%&ing pigs.
Also, being winter in Idaho, the Warrior looked like he had a head cold. His nose ran throughout the entire match with Herc. At one point he had a pretty good dangler hanging out, so he wiped it with the back of his hand and tried to fling it out of the ring. Well, it inadvertently went out to the crowd, and a bunch of idiots jumped up for it. I'm assuming that they thought it was one of his tassels.

BAH, one of the Targets in my area (East Vancouver) got a case with Piper, but of course some jack-hole ripped open all of the blind boxes and took all the good stuff (including any and all Pipers). Nothing left but commons by the time I discovered it. Targets in Canada? Thought they all closed. How rare is Pipes? Sorry, I meant AMERICA'S Vancouver (in Washington state). The common Piper is packed 1/4, but his cases are hard to come by as most Targets that carry these are still sitting on the common remnants from the Warrior cases.

Yeah, I took a couple of Flex Force fig pics w/belt, with my crappy cell camera at the time... so it might have been my images that you saw I saw them in my area at Kroger/Fred Meyer stores. Never bought any, however. I probably would have had they been numbered.

Oh man. Those were the days. I remember all the fun of hunting the 1/1000 belt figs down, and posting the numbers here so were could keep a log of who had which belt #s for each character. Kinda miss that.

Don't get me wrong here; I LOVE Target. My house and my office are both a couple blocks away from different ones, and I frequent both several times per week. I have a Red Card, use their Cartwheel coupons religiously, etc. They can have ALL of the data regarding my buying habits and I don't care; that's how much I love them.
However, how they sell action figures on their website makes me imagine an old elderly couple in a massive warehouse and running the operation.
Ma: "Pa!! That case of Mr. Perfect dolls done sold out right quick! Fetch me another one so I can put it up!"
Pa: "Yes, dear. Now, where did I find that last one? Better start from the beginning until I see it." *shuffles to the first merchandise section, which happens to be Housewares:Linens* "Let's see..." *starts reading each box's label*

I kinda felt a lil' bad for Gable last night. He got one of the biggest wins of his WWE career, in Madison Square Garden, against arguably the biggest heel in the company... And the crowd was kinda dead. Especially when he went up against the crowd railing and nobody from the audience bothered to come up and celebrate with him, or even pat him on the shoulder, or whatever.

Yeesh. If the injury isn't TOO apparent (like a broken arm in a cast), they should have gave Gable a quick DQ or countout win.
I mean, we knew Gable was going to go over anyway (based on Corbin winning last night).

I live in Vancouver, Washington, which is just a short trip across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon.

Just checked the Marshall's a few block away from my house, and scored Ryder, J.Hardy & the Iron Sheik. Left behind one each of Hardy & Ryder.

Hi folks;
I didn't see a table-top/board game thread anywhere else, so I figured this would be the best place to plant one. Mods, feel free to move if not in the right place (or please point me in the right direction if one already exists!).
What game/games are you gaming?
I'm late to the party, but I'm big into King of Tokyo/King of New York right now. KoT came out in 2011, and was created by Richard Garfield (the same guy who was heavily involved with the creation of M:tG).
I love the the idea of giant cranky monsters generally beating the crap out of each other (and in KoNY, the surroundings)!
What are you playing at the moment?

Yeah, I have a tale.
Back in March, I tried to dig out an ingrown toenail myself (like an idiot) on my left big toe. Of course it got infected.
After not showing any symptoms, I woke up one morning with a huge toe that oozed out from every part of the nail when touched.
It was a Sunday, so I went to an urgent care clinic. The doofy P.A. there just gave me something topical and sent me on my way. $300 AFTER insurance (because unfortunately for me, they JUST lost their network status with Cigna, my insurance company).
I applied it religiously for 3 weeks and determined that it wasn't getting any better. I called my general provider doc and she said that I needed to get in to see a REAL doctor immediately (but not her, as she was booked up).
So I told my boss and left work. This was a Friday afternoon. The doc I saw said "Yep, that's infected, all right. Let me have our podiatrist come and take a look at it. Whoops! Appears that he just left early. You'll have to come back on Monday. In the meantime, if the infection got down to your bone, we'll have to amputate your toe." They took a couple of x-rays and sent me on my way (to worry about it all weekend).
So yeah, Monday rolls around, and I went back in to see the podiatrist. He told me that the x-ray showed that it had NOT gone down to the bone, but the toenail would need to come off.
He stated to remove it, and said "Ummm... When was the last time you had to clip this nail?" I told him about the ingrown part weeks before. He said "Yeah, your toenail died, and there WAS another one growing UNDERNEATH it. I say 'was' because I accidentally cut off the new toenail as well."
The good news is that the infection went away and it healed up OK. The nail is TRYING to grow back, but it's yellow-ish and uglier than homemade soup.
