for the past several years i've been having an enjoyable little battle with the cable/internet provider. it all started when sonny was a student and learned that he could get me a student discount if i put the service in his name and for a few years i received the service for about half price. then sonny graduated so i put the cable package in my daughter's name and continued to get the student discount. then much to my horror the cable company cancelled the student promotion and i was back to the regular price. i called customer service and negotiated a temporary 6 month discount. this was a few years ago and i've been threatening to cancel a few times a year to keep getting the discount. about a month ago i called to actually cancel the service because a different company offered me a great deal. my decision was firm, i cancelled.
last week the old cable/internet provider called to offer me a fabulous deal for 6 months, $40 for cable and high speed internet, 25mbs. they asked me what channels i wanted and agreed to give them to me. it seems i forgot to mention the 2 channels that give me pro rasslin. it looks like my pro rasslin days are over. to be honest, i haven't really watched rasslin since i quit drinking but i used to stop on the channel for a few moments whilst channel surfing. all is not lost though, when this current $40 promo is over in 6 months i fully plan to cancel and switch to the other provider to get a free smart tv and will include the rasslin channels if and when i switch.
most of my friends think i'm nuts for the time i spend arguing with the cable companies over rates but they fail to take two things into account: 1. i have more free time than brains and 2, i actually enjoy battling the cable companies.
this was my theme song for years.
i love you sons of bitches.

You need job, mon?
Yup, ya always gotta be fucking dealing with them for the best rates. It pisses me off that they will give a new customer a great rate for a year or two but not give old customers a discount.
I've paid rent on my modem for five years, the fuckers could at least give it to me now.
thims - as a matter of fact i might need a job. the plan is retire within 6 months then look for a company that needs a professional pest.
bill - rent a modem!! fuck me, i could get a free modem with 2 hands tied behind my back and a radiator from a '63 buick hanging around my neck.
When I first got cable I just rented the modem in case I didn't keep the service after a few months. Not just any modem will work, and at the time a modem was 75 bucks. Oh well.
You just gave me a good idea for an invention, suck the dog shit up with a special vacuum that mixes in water and blends it to fertilizer and spits it over into the neighbors flower bed.
Wouldn't be hard to make a small battery operated unit you could pack around.
Oh hell, just pick up a battery operated blender to turn your dog shit to liquid and pour it out.
it's easier just to pick it up and bag it. guess where the bag goes?
I'm confused about wrestling. It's a genuine sport in the Olympic games, but the televised bouts are like fake Batman-and-Robin fights. Is there more money in the fake events?
It's used as illuminati allegory and to signal the initiated before the hammer comes down so they can make like a tree and go away.
in the good old days rasslin was racist and homophobic.
These ARE teh good old days.
And fuck that amboy douche.
What a weird watercraft.
i can't find rebroadcasts of the old rasslin shows. anybody know where they're at? (besides behind the preposition)
good point harry, enjoy the moment.
Billy, mate, I remember watching WWF wrestling back in the early 90's - it was on TV on Monday nights. My ex at the time, used to go ape-shit when I tried to convince her that this highly choreographed 'nancy-boy' nonsense was the best thing since 'sliced bread'. Shawn 'The Heartbreak Kid' Michaels, Bret 'The Hitman' Hart [one of your Canadian brothers], The Undertaker, and so-on, used to provide some decent entertainment. I'd nip down the 'Offy' before it started and buy eight cans of lager and sit and watch these guys knock the crap out of each other. OK, it may have been a sham, but I've gotta admit that these fellas took some heavy and hard knocks. I guess that I'd have to say that these were no 'pussies'. I also remember the tragic surroundings appertaining to the death of Owen Hart. Not a nice way to die, and such a sad and tragic waste of a life. Yeah, man, those were the good old days of American wrestling, my friend. :-P
To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' night!
Take Care & Stay Lucky!
Peace,
Steve...
PS Hope you're still not trying to emulate those guys with some of their athletic and hard-hitting manoeuvres and blows! :-P
Ciao!
Someone's emulating guys with athletic hard hitting reciprocal blowjobs ?
Point me thataway!
@ Bea Aurthersdik,
Listen up, 'spunky', when I've finished-up fixing my make-up and putting on me dress, I'll give you a good, hard bitch-slapping, my friend! :-P
Take Care & Stay Lucky [and _don't_ fuckin' push it - it being your luck!]!
Peace,
Steve...
Don't have much to worry when it comes to cable. Don't have it, not a big TV fan. If I had my way I'd ditch the TV..Hubby is the TV fan. But he gripes about me on net to much. So we're even on that one.
$40 a month seem like good deal for both. Is your cable and things like that subsidize by the Canadian goverment?
Coffee is on
steve - i still go to a lot of rasslin websites and read rassler's biographies. they're a fascinating lot of lunatics and yes, it is real. the outcome might be predetermined but they really do take the bumps and when you do it over 200 times a year, accidents and injuries do happen.
Keep fighting the good fight, BP. And the rasslin will still be there waiting for you in six months.
i made a few adjustment to my cable package last night.
I made a few adjustments to my package last night.
I adjusted my package to within an inch of its life
then strangled it the rest of the way.
And by adjusted I mean mastered and by strangled I
mean baited.
I was out on the spit for a bit, coming back a dingy broad flipped her SUV in front of me, smack on its top I'ze gots pictures to post tomorrow.
i almost shit myself when i found out one of the bundles had the oprah winfrey network. that son of a bitch is gone and replaced with a sports channel.
I wouldn't fuck Oprah with Bea Arthur's dick.
I would however fuck Opie with Floyd the barbersdick.
Then sell the film to the sports channel
yeah, floyd was the star of that show.
Floyd was great as was Otis.
Who??
You never watched The Andy Griffith Show you fuccen heathen?
the king must have watched the andy griffith show, he's just senile and can't remember.
"Give um hell Billy!"
Yeah, rasslin', what kid don't love them some rasslin' ?
Back when, ours used to come mostly from the Detroit
area; also drawing on Canuckistan talent across the river.
A favorite of the early/mid '60s was Leapin' Larry Chene.
And who could ever forget a rassler with a name like
Dick the Bruiser ?
I'm sure I read a wiki on Chene but seems
disappeared now.
gene kininski was our hero. john tolos and bulldog bob brown were good too.
I whipped all those fuckers in a bar one night.
