I gotta say without a doubt Online Onslaught. Man, are there horrible writers there. That hillbilly Jeb's Raw review was unreadable. I don't know if the guy thinks he's funny or what but it's border line pathetic what he writes. Also, the Canadian Bulldog? What kind of shit is that? This guy is probably the worst writer on the whole internet and all that fake name crap is stupid as hell. I don't really like Rick at all but if he thinks the crap his so-called "writers" submit is good, I pity the guy. The only decent thing to read there is the guy who's reviewing the WrestleMania's. Other than that, it's horrible, horrible stuff.
Why does the name Jeb automatically invoke "hillbilly," but Tennyson doesn't invoke "English Poet Laureate"? You'd think the two would cancel each other out. And why does someone named Austin Fan ostensibly not like hillbillies?
Anyway, I couldn't agree more about Bulldog. It's like the guy came up with his column idea just so he could practice his HTML coding. He screws up more names than Austin Fan, here, reading a list of 19th century German philosophers. And the guy can't do an interview to save his life. Yo, Bulldog, READ the phone book more carefully next time. You messing up was funny the first four or even seven times, but now I just feel bad for you. Conduct better research!! Geez.

Primacy effect (psybox.com). Once you've started us off with the hillbilly Jeb, we simply assume you were shooting for "Tennessean" as the middle name. And that's purdy dang close spellun fer a hilbilly edyewkayshun. :-)
I agree that most of the writers on Oldline Oldslut are a bunch of talentless hacks. Especially Jab Tenessee Lung. The guy (who is a hillbilly, btw) wouldn't know good writing if it bit him on the ass. Which actually happened to him once in 1997.
But as far as yours truly goes and my 'fake name crap' goes -- I can't help it, okay? It happens to be an affliction I was born with. You may laugh, but it's a very serious problem, Austen Fans. If you would like to know more about Wrong Name Syndrome and how YOU can help make a difference (not to be confused with `Make A Difference Fatu'), click right here. Any help is appreciated.
I was having lunch at a restaurant near the capital building up here and we take a patio table. Also of note is that that the Gov is sitting not on the front terrace but on a closed off open terrace on the side of the building.
So at one point, I get up to go inside to use the restroom, and on my way back to the table, I'm not paying attention to what happening to my right and happen to walk right in front of the entourage. Nothing happened, but there's no good reason I wasn't forced to kiss the wall or even speared by one of the supplemental Secret Service agents I know were among the state's security detail.
I actually told that story to a friend of mine here at work and also happens to be a political liason for the Governor's office and she said that the first time she approached Gov. Bush in public to discuss something, one member of the detail didn't know who she was and she DID get handled until the Governor told him to stand down.
The plus side of having Bush for governor is that I can get people to understand what my name is on the phone, now. I just say, "No, like the Governor," and people understand. In the past, we'd have to do some verbal tap-dance with Jeff, Jim, Jed, John, Jet, Jan, Jen and — I'm not making this up — Zeb. (I mean, what?)
The down side is that I hate the man and his politics. And so do lots of other people. And they associate him with me. All of this would piss me off a lot less if his name really was Jeb. It isn't. It's "John Ellis Bush." By that rationale, I suppose I could demand everyone call me JTL. (It's pronounced Jittle!) Whatever. At least I can still proudly claim that I was named after Watergate burglar Jeb Stuart Macgruder.
By the way, someone else on OldlineOnslut who sucks? That Hocking guy. I mean, does he even watch RAW? His recaps have NOTHING to do with what was on the show. That guy is totally unreliable.
