Huh. That *would* be weird and interesting. Are we talking a heel Briscoe that wears suit as and finds his long-lost denture to act like a smarmy factory farmer? In keeping w the B theme (not to be confused w B Team :) ), what about the currently going heel Anthony Bowens?

Far behind catching up AEW TV for Reasons so just finished hour 1 of the pre-Forbidden Door Collision. Comment to my BFF was "Lance Archer is loving life right now and for a long moment I want to throw him into the TNT Title scene*." *which in my brain is Fletcher+Brody+Bandido+Mortos Best of 27

Ooh, sounds like a great fun costume! Can you find a reasonable facsimile of the Dynamite Diamond Ring to threaten people with? :) (Once did a Calvin costume with my childhood Tigger as Hobbes. Other fave costume was repping Alien Kris a few years ago w glow-in-the-dark stars as the facial mark.)

What do I think of Kevin Nash? "I think he's grasping at desperation. I think the business has passed him by.” (He can go f himself, and now I need to go add his name & podcast to my mute list.) Not watching WWE anymore, but if I could steal anyone for AEW, Becky is 2nd on my list after Asuka.

See, I had no idea there was a specific Japanese flavor of RPG! (I'm not a gamer - k, other than No Mans Sky :) - but I have friends who are. Betting my near-nephews, one of whom is currently visiting Japan for the second time, are.)

Paws touching face is so underrated. When I rearrange pillows at night to side-sleep, Kris will run onto that pillow and *flop* facing me. No circling, no preparatory kneading, just *flop* "Hi Mom, finally, let's get some sleep!" Which reminds me, I meant to clip her claws earlier today... ;)

Yep. Here was my direct response. Haven't gone back to Discover feed for a while but that's a possible option too. Mostly I follow other people & look for stuff I'm interested in. Which is not just politics & wrestling (frankly wish I didn't have to keep up with the former, but self-defense).
Lee AKA The Dark Cheetah (@tdcheetah.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, tbf, the only topics you mentioned are politics and wrestling, & the only specific name you gave is Hangman. To steal from Cody, 'So... what do you wanna talk about?" Use search. Check out people's feeds. Somehow someone found my picture of King Albert I -- suddenly cool new friend.
