1. Buy them.  I'm thinking Finifter is just the right combination of pretty and helpless to be kidnapped and sold into sex slavery.

2. Make Eddie tap out.  I imagine I could do this, because I'm a pro wrestler, and obviously one of the world's elite in the ways of grappling.  I think I'll use the figure four.

3. Let Teague go a whole episode without correcting him once, then do it all at the end, interrupting him between "goodnights."

4. Trick Dorkman into thinking he's defeated you, then kill him with a clone of yourself.

2.  Every time I go to Peter Luger's Steakhouse (Steak and creamed spinach).

3.  6am Sushi fresh off the a dock in Japan (everything on the menu).

4.  A slice of pizza from the spot on my block (If you haven't had New York Pizza, you haven't had pizza at all).

5.  Fresh catch at the Alibi Room in Seattle (Seattle was the first city I was in while traveling for work a couple years ago, and I spent my entire time there eating with the rest of the crew).

4. A freshly painted room...we moved a lot when I was growing up and always renovating something. So this ones brings back a lot of old memories.

5.The smell of sitting beside an open campfire on a chilly night. There is actually a smell associated with it. That's just the best I can describe it.

Re: Top Five thread.

1. New York City is everything it's cracked up to be, good and bad.

2. Washington, DC. It's hard to believe we didn't fuck up the architecture and we've managed to build great museums. Never went outside the historic city center....

3. Las Vegas is surprisingly great.

4. The Netherlands seem like a small town and big city everywhere you go. Extremely nice people; graffiti everywhere. (Only place in Europe I've visited)

5. Disneyworld was pretty damn amazing when I was a kid.

Honorable mention: Cincinnati and Chicago. Great towns. Pittsburgh is surprisingly good too, but Pittsburgh drivers will run your ass over even if you're in the crosswalk with the walk signal.

Dishonorable mentions: Newark is a shithole and Milwaukee stinks of beer. Hawaii wasn't great, but Christmas is the wrong time of year.

"Desperado," with shots of rotgut tequila.

"Top Gun," with cheap American beer in cans.

"The Maltese Falcon," with bourbon stashed in the bottom desk drawer.

"From Russia with Love," with gin martinis because fuck Bond, vodka martinis are just nasty.

And "The Fountain," with expensive imported lightly carbonated bottled water so as to maintain the perfect clarify of mind that that film requests — no, demands of its audience.

Re: Top Five thread.

Can't really help you there.  I've only been knocked out cold twice, both via wrestling, and they're both fairly innocuous stories.  One time a guy clotheslined my fucking brain out of my skull and the next thing I do I was sitting on the mat feeling confused.  The other time a guy kicked my fucking brain out of my skull, and I woke up on the mat feeling confused... then I got up and beat the tar out of him.  Never knocked anyone out, to my knowledge.  Now, if this were a general bodily harm thing, I've knocked a few people's teeth out and recieved my fair share of bruises, black eyes, busted lips, dislocated jaws, and probably a concussion or two.

Eddie's gonna have better stories on forced unconciousness than I, I'd wager.

Not to be a word Nazi, but I think you mean "prolaby a comcussion or two". Have you been checked for brain damage? It supposably tends to show up first as a qualming of the vocabumary.

Re: Top Five thread.

Ill do the KO'd one....

1) Team USA Shidokan, April 1996.  I was fighting Pat White, ten years my senior, the returning champ, and better at my own strengths than I was.  My strategy in the tournament was to initiate as many clinches as possible and gain points from throws.  Pat locks me in a thai clinch and starts throwing knees.  I block the forst 4, but when I tried to throw a punch he got one straight up the middle as he turned my head.  The knee hit my temple...so I'm told.

2)  Training for that fight, one of my sparring partners was a former Junior Olympic Tae Kwon Do medalist.  I was trying to train how to close the distance on opponents who had a longer reach than I .  One session, he kicks the inside ofmy knee, and with the same leg not touching the ground, wheels it up to an axe kick that lands on the back of my head and drops me. 

3)  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 … 1334721347

4) In Jiu Jitsu, my brother and I are rolling.  Hes bigger and stronger, I have better technique.  He gets the takedown, I almost get his back and have half of a kata-hajime choke on him.  He has a forearm in my neck.  Neither of us taps out.  We both go out roughly the same time.

5)  My instructor, and I swear to god this is his real name, Eddie Bravo is getting a feature profile done on him in Grappling Magazine.  He asks me to be his Uke and demonstrate technique.  Here's one of the photos.  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 … 1334721347

Anyway, he demonstrates a triangle choke from the mount  Unlike other chokes, if you get a mounted triangle you're not as in control of the pressure.  It's literally your body weight on the dudes caroted artery.  As the technique is being applied, the cameramans battery dies.  As he's changing batteries, Im turning purple.  I sputter out, "Takkkkkkee the fffffucking pppphhhhotoooo."  Eddie starts laughing, I start laughing.  Now we have the church giggles.  While I'm waiting for us to not laugh so he can take the photo, I go out.  I wake up to everyone laughing.

I've rarely put someone else out.  I pride myself on my control and in my Jiu Jitsu torunaments, most guy are smart enough to tap.  I have, and I am in no way proud of this, torn ankle cartiledge and sadly, an acl on two of my teammates.  It was during sparring and it was no ones fault really.  I've felt awful about it since, and both times, both guys were very cool and forgiving.  For my sins, Ive also torn my Meniscus, had my nose broken twice, and dislocated my middle left toe in two places at once. 

I've knocked a couple guys down in training before (usually body shots, and once with a superman punch) but never an outright KO.  You knock people out in sparring and you get a reputation as a dick.

Re: Top Five thread.

Dude. Seriously. Props for the visual aids. (This is me taking the high ground instead of sniffing at you for making the rest of us look lazy.)

1. Rachel Weisz in her librarian glasses from "The Mummy." Second only to Rachel Weisz in that one shot in "The Mummy" you know the one I mean and I would so screenshot it for you if I had the DVD but I don't so here's this instead you're welcome.

2. Veronica Lake in "Sullivan's Travels." I don't know how else to say it, but something about her, her look, her performance, the whole thing … something just seems totally contemporary. It's hard to explain. She seems anachronistic.

3. Sarah Alexander. You've never heard of her. There was this BBC show — ahem, "programme" — in the 90s called "People Like Us." Fucking hilarious; you should look it up. Anyway, she played a flirtatious real-estate agent. It's enough to make you want to buy a house. In England. When you don't live there.

4. Famke Janssen. Do you guys remember the "Star Trek" episode she was in? True story. It was 1992, I was nineteen years old, and oh. My. God. Look at her in that, then look at a picture of her taken forty-five seconds ago. Stuffed in some attic somewhere is a painting of her that's getting uglier and uglier.

5. Kristen Stewart in "Into the Wild" and I really need you all to shut up right now 'cause she was over the age of consent at the time — barely — and I can't control who makes me stupid so don't hate. Besides, have you seen that one scene? The one where she tries to convince Emile Hirsch she's eighteen? Dude.
