Bash-ing Michael Jackson At The Bash ...
The Bast: Part 2
So Michael's dead, huh? Michael Jackson hasn’t been this stiff since Macully Culkin spent the night at Neverland Ranch.
The Lord gave Farrah Fawcett one wish when she died. She wished that all children in the world would be safe! The Lord granted her wish and killed Michael Jackson.
Anyway, after he died Micheal told God that he needed a good plastic surgeon if he was going to live in heaven. So god sent Billy Mays with some mighty puddy.
You know how celebrities die in threes? Leave it to Billy Mays to throw in one extra ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
"Hi, Billy Mays' ghost here for the brand new Awesome Casket, the casket that neuters you dog, aerates your lawn, and boosts your cellphone signal!!!"
Michael Jackson’s death has now been ruled a suicide. Apparently doctors told him that the only way he could get whiter is if he died.
When do you know its bed time at Micheal Jackson's house? When the big hand touches the little hand.
So why did Michael Jackson like twenty eight year olds? Because there were twenty of them.
Madonna sent her condolences to the Jackson family this morning. Then asked how much they wanted for the kids.
THIS JUST IN: Casper the friendly ghost was molested this morning!
Michael’s last words: “Take me to the Children’s Hospital!”
So what’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Disney films? Disney films can still touch children.
What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett? Oh, about three hours.
*Knock* *Knock*
Who’s there?
Not Micheal Jackson.
Did you hear? The Jackson Five are offering a 20 percent discount on their reunion.
I'm done.

Steve's Church-Less Movie Of The Week (Before The PPV) ...
Yoinked from wikipedia ...
"The Last Man on Earth (Italian: L'ultimo uomo della Terra) is a 1964 Italian horror/science fiction film based upon the Richard Matheson novel I Am Legend. The film was directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow, and stars Vincent Price. The script was written in part by Matheson, but he was dissatisfied with the result and was therefore credited as 'Logan Swanson.' William Leicester, Furio M. Monetti, and Ubaldo Ragona were the other writers. It was filmed in Rome, Italy, and was later released theatrically in the United States by American International Pictures.
Although The Last Man on Earth was not considered a success upon its release, the film has recently gained a more favorable reputation as a classic of the genre. The Last Man on Earth currently holds an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Phil Hall of Film Threat called The Last Man on Earth 'the best Vincent Price movie ever made.' Awarding the film three and a half stars out of four, Danél Griffin of Film as Art said, 'Directors Sidney Salkow and Ubaldo Ragona and star Vincent Price (giving a poignant, straightforward performance) are able to conjure up some genuine chills here, mainly in the use of stark, black-and-white images and the underlining mood of the piece.'
Among the less favorable reviews, Steve Biodrowski of Cinefantastique felt the film was 'hampered by an obviously low budget and some poorly recorded post-production dubbing that creates an amateurish feel, undermining the power of its story,' while Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader remarked, 'Some would consider this version better than the 1971 remake with Charlton Heston, The Omega Man, but that isn't much of an achievement.'
Among the film's creators, Vincent Price 'had a certain fondness for the film' and felt it was better than The Omega Man. Richard Matheson remarked, 'I was disappointed in The Last Man on Earth, even though they more or less followed my story. I think Vincent Price, whom I love in every one of his pictures that I wrote, was miscast. I also felt the direction was kind of poor. I just didn’t care for it.' George A. Romero has acknowledged the source material of The Last Man on Earth as an influence on his film Night of the Living Dead, remarking that he 'basically had ripped [it] off from a Richard Matheson novel called I Am Legend.' Numerous critics have suggested The Last Man on Earth film itself was also a source of inspiration for Night of the Living Dead."

Wow ...
I just BARELY survived this week at work. It was rough. Things were rough. People have been calling in sick and I've been stretched pretty thin. Most nights I'm on the couch, too tired to move. I'm incredibly tired right NOW but I want to spend some time with my wife.
But sunday is my daddy daughter day WWE pay-per-view with Emerald. And it was worth the work to get to my special day with my special girl.

Steve's Church-Less Movie Of The Week ...
Yoinked from the wikipedia and a few other places:
"Mystery Science Theater 3000 is an American cult television comedy series created by Joel Hodgson and produced by Best Brains, Inc. that ran from 1988 to 1999. The series features a man and his robot sidekicks who are trapped on a satellite in space by an evil scientist and forced to watch a selection of terrible movies, especially (but not initially limited to) science fiction B-movies. To keep sane, the man and his robots make a running commentary on the film, making fun of its flaws and wisecracking their way through the film in the style of a movie theater peanut gallery. The movie was presented with a superimposition of the man and robots silhouettes along the bottom of the screen.
Series creator Hodgson originally played the stranded man, Joel Robinson, for five-and-a-half seasons. When Hodgson left in 1993, series head writer Michael J. Nelson replaced him as new B-movie victim Mike Nelson, and continued in the role for the rest of the show's run.
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode featuring the movie Godzilla vs. Megalon was released on DVD in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 Vol. 10 DVD boxed set. However, due to copyright reasons, Vol. 10 was recalled and was rereleased as Vol. 10.2, which features the episode with The Giant Gila Monster instead of the Godzilla vs. Megalon episode.
Godzilla vs. Megalon (ゴジラ対メガロ, Gojira tai Megaro?) is a 1973 Japanese tokusatsu kaiju film directed and co-written by Jun Fukuda with special effects by Teruyoshi Nakano. It was the thirteenth film to be released in the Godzilla franchise. Godzilla Vs. Megalon was originally planned as a non-Godzilla film, a solo vehicle for Jet Jaguar, which was the result of a contest Toho had for children in mid-to-late 1972. The winner of the contest was an elementary school student, who submitted the drawing of a robot called Red Arone, which superficially resembled both Ultraman and Mazinger Z. The robot was renamed Jet Jaguar and was set to star in Jet Jaguar vs. Megalon, which pitted him against Megalon. However, after doing some screen tests and storyboards, Toho figured Jet Jaguar would not be able to carry the film on his own so they shut the project down during pre-production. Nearly a month later, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka called in screenwriter Shinichi Sekizawa to revise the script to add Godzilla and Gigan. To make up for lost production time, the film was shot in a hasty three weeks.
Godzilla vs. Megalon is frequently criticised for its poor special effects work and overuse of stock footage from previous Toho efforts. Megalon is no exception; the costume has been criticised by fans as poorly designed and cheap-looking, more befitting a televised Japanese tokusatsu superhero program than the relatively glamorous theatrical production. The costume's various features have been ridiculed, being likened to a Christmas tree when the film was featured on the comedy television series Mystery Science Theater 3000"

Father's Day Has Been Moved To NEXT Sunday ...
But I'm trying to convince myself that NEXT sunday will be Father's Day just for Emerald and me. Because NEXT sunday it will be just her and me getting our pay-per-view on ...
This will be my next sunday ...
At noon my daughter and I will get our wrestling clothes on and our fan signs. She is thinking of making one that says FUTURE DIVA with an arrow pointing to her. I don't know what sign I'll make. I've also got a TON of wrestling shirts but I think I want to get a white shirt and write on it "DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN BALL" for no real reason other than I'm a nerd ...
Steve's (usually) Church-Less Movie Of The Week ...
... will NOT be seen this week as it is Father's Day and I had to get my ass to church.
I WAS going to watch one of my favorite dad movies, Old School, which is my favorite because of Vince Vaughn's kick ass cool dad character. The image of a man wearing a baby bundler and STILL being ass kicking cool made me feel good about one day being a father.
But the rest of the movie just annoys the shit out of me, so not seeing it today is no great loss.
There will also be no church-less movie of the week NEXT sunday, so we'll probably have a pick-up movie tomorrow or something to make up for it all.
Sorry, y'all.

Video Game Steve ...
Feeling pretty much better. My nose still hurts like a mother, though. Now I'm going back to work. I'm worried because I have a mid-shift today and those are always rough. So keep me in your thoughts today. Let's hope I'm not overworked, picked on, and hope I don't cut myself.
Anyway, here's a video of pro-wrestling Steve.
Tell me that DOESN'T look like me. Because it TOTALLY does ...
Cool.

My Nose And Tongue ...
Well, sting just a little bit MY ASS! My nose stings and burns like hell. I can't stop sneezing. And now, in what I believe to be a related manner, there are these big, itchy, painful lumps that have recently started to form on the back of my tongue. I don't fully know what they are or why they're there but I'm hoping they don't get bigger and obstruct my ability to breathe and swallow.
And my nasal passage is on screaming fucking FIRE! Hurts like a bitch on fire in hell. Eyes watering, sneezing, almost impossible to breathe out of my nose.
I want to call in sick tomorrow but I've had three days off and I would feel guilty calling in to make it a fourth.
And all this on my wife's birthday.
Sorry, baby.
Birthday Blues ...
It's my wife's birthday. And so far it hasn't been too fun.
We've had three doctor's appointments today. At the last one my new nasal doctor informed me that I have a deviated septum and it's my decision if I want surgery or just live with my annoying stuffed up nose. And next we have to go to the hospital because one of her aunts had a heart attack and almost died.
And later tonight my wife is going to a strip club and then a bar with some of her "work" friends. Crazy. Crazy day filled with hospitals and waiting rooms. I feel really bad for her. Today should be more special. I wish I had the money to make today special. All I have is myself.
My daughter Emerald snapped that picture of me in the doctor's office. I'll tell you later about the intensely painful nasal "procedure" they did to me. It hurts like fucking hell.
Laters.
