MK's infernape

“Listen, she's a gamer and she's based. She would totally pick chimchar in bdsp. She probably hates people who tells her to "play platinum" because that was a game made for old people.

Try and exclude this submission, I dare you. There's nothing that says I can't submit theoretical non-humans. There's a non-zero chance that MK has an Infernape and I know it's been raised to have some awesome sneaky move. If you exclude this, I bet you'd allow "Mike's Torterra" because only a grass type fan would be a fire type and MK hater!!

Some changes for Broadway from the previous Goodman Theater production. Excellent performances from the entire cast with clear picture and great sound throughout; very good video. 2 DVDs. A War Paint - Broadway - April 29, 2017 (Matinee) (NYCG8R's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Patti LuPone (Helena Rubinstein), Christine Ebersole (Elizabeth Arden), John Dossett (Tommy Lewis), Douglas Sills (Harry Fleming) NOTES: The master gets caught during Face to Face.

The theater was really full tonight so there are a good number of heads in this video, but they are worked around to the best of my ability. This is a super small theater (less than 160 seats) and at times the cast members were definitely singing to the camera and honestly giving their best performances because of it. All of the things on the upper level (the bathroom, the pathway, and the kitchen) are captured perfectly, and the zooms on the lower level (the living room and bench) look good as well. Obviously because this is a murder mystery kind of show the lighting can get a little bit dark, but my camera handles low lighting incredibly well. This is honestly the best video you could expect from this venue We Will Rock You - Germany (Cologne) - August, 2005 (Pro-Shot's master) FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Alex Melcher (Galileo), Vera Bolten (Scaramouche), Brigitte Oelke (Killer Queen), Martin Berger (Khashoggi), Michaela Kovarikova (Meat/Oz), DMJ (Brit/J.B.), James Sbano (Pop/Buddy/Bap), Harald Tauber (Teacher), Willemijn Verkaik NOTES: Multicam proshot We Will Rock You - Utrecht (The Netherlands) - October, 2010 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: John Vooijs (Galileo), Marjolein Teepen (Scaramouche), Pia Douwes (Killer Queen), Paul Donkers (Khashoggi), Floortje Smit (Meat/Oz), Ruud van Overdijk (Brit/J.B.), Rutger le Poole (Pop/Buddy/Bap) NOTES: Good capture.

Wolf Creek Ch 9 : The End Is Here

Is written, edited and available to read on Wattpad. https://my.w.tt/0OzPKnnIy8

That’s the conclusion of the first story arc of this super spooky gay romance between a Werewolf and A human Vampire titled “The Dream Prison”

Next week “Medusa’s Last Child” story arc begins with “Chapter 10 : A Bus Full of Corpses”. With that said I’m taking a break from “Wolf Creek” for a week.

I have another novel called “OurSelves” that I’m also writing and releasing updates on. https://my.w.tt/cE2QaBWKy8

I’ve put finishing Chapter 14 on hold to get updates of Wolf Creek out and now it’s time to get back to it. So bare with me for a bit.

Now a bit on “Medusa’s Last Child” arc. When I originally wrote Wolf’s Creek five years ago the villain was a hydra who could take human form. Now I’m bringing back that bad guy as the first real enemy the entire pact faces. Here are the storylines running through it.

Jon (inspired by Cody Christian) and David (Inspired by Tyler Posey)

Beginning right where the cliffhanger left off. The two men are in an awkard position having just showered in a missing woman’s apartment. David is intent on discovering what happened to Dresha Meeks. Jon will do anything to keep that secret. Returning to Wolf Creek, Jon is still dealing with the emotional fall out from the ordeal he was in. While David is very suspicious of him. During his investigation he feels drawn to Jon romantically but because of many reasons keeps him at arms length. As the two grow closer they each try to hide their darker natures from each other. But is it possible to know someone without revealing who you are? How the two coexist in the same town is their story in part 2.

Hadley (inspired by Jenny Boyd) and Blink (inspired by Quincy Fouse)

Having made a scene in saving Blink from a racist in part one puts unwanted attention on Hadley and her best friend Jess. Starting junior year in high school just got a lot harder. The boys from that night Harrass her and she is shocked to see Jess is hanging with them. Hadley notices students go into the Blackwoods and never come out. Concerned she seeks answers. Blink finds himself enrolled in a supernatural version of high school. But quickly feels overwhelmed by all the naturally born supernaturals. Being the only vampire doesn’t help at all. He meets Hadley by chance saving her this time and the two become friends. When she asks for his help in investigating missing teens in the woods, he reluctantly agrees and the pair learn that its not just monsters roaming the Blackwoods.

Prem (Inspired by Charlie Carver) and Vincent (Inspired by Tyler Hoechlin)

In the closet transgender police officer Prem is put on the task force investigating a bus full of corpses bound for Canada. He feels he has to prove he belongs on the otherwise all werewolf squad as the only human. Hand to hand combat, weapons, taking down a out of control werewolf he can do easily. Dealing with an out of his mind smoldering hot man whose sister was on that bus, not so much. Dogged by Vincent at every turn in his quest for answers. Prem finds himself out of his element as he tries to help this grieving man, and not arrest him for breaking into crime scenes or stealing evidence. Solving the case isn’t going to be easy. Vincent, meanwhile is a Djinn in human form whose sister was his last connection to humanity. Newly tricked into being a genie he is still learning how to con people into selling their souls to him for a wish.

The Hydra or Luis (inspired by Nyle Dimarco)

Luis is a mysterious man who comes to the town of Wolf Creek to destroy it. He has his reasons. He had spent centuries alone, festering a hatred and there is something in that town he must destroy. As more of his character is revealed you’ll see there is more to him but saying more is a spoiler so wait and see

And there you have it. Medusa’s Last Child coming soon

New South: The Saga Continues 11/2/19 (1/2)

The main thing that got me to plunk down money for IWTV was all the hype ads I kept seeing for Warhorse vs. Rey Fury.   I was confused about how to watch Warhorse’s matches, which led me to IWTV, and they seemed to have a jillion indy feds on their site, so it seemed like a good deal.   The problem was that New South’s November 2 show didn’t go up on the site for like a month, so I wasn’t really sure what to do in the meantime.   I ended up watching the Beyond show where Warhorse defended the IWTV title against Orange Cassidy, and the Black Label Pro Turbo Graps 16 tournament where he won the title.    

But I decided to finally get back to the New South show.   I wasn’t sure if I should watch the entire thing, but the opening of the show is a Star Wars crawl, and there’s a backstage segment where it looks like BB-8 and Darth Sidious are spying on people, so I decided to liveblog it instead.

These are the guys BB-8 and Sid were watching.    They look like eighth graders.    I don’t mean to knock these guys, it’s just that I’m old and the young talent in the wrestling business looks younger and younger all the time, and my guess is that indy feds like New South are where a lot of the really new guys get their start.   Or maybe I’m just not used to seeing actual early-twentysomethings on a wrestling show.    They talk about Joey Janela like he’s a fresh young talent, and he’s 30.   Anyway, the bros on the right are the new tag champs, and I guess the ones on the left are the former champs, who somehow lost their titles without getting pinned, so they’re looking forward to a title match.  

Now, you might ask me why I didn’t take a picture of BB-8 and Darth Sidious, but that’s because BB-8 is a crappy-looking toy, and the Emperor is apparently played by a shadow in an empty corridor.    You’re not missing much.

The new general manager of New South comes out and he’s this huge dude with Flirtin’ With Disaster as his entrance music.   There’s basketball goals all over the place, and he hypes up being in Hartsville, Alabama.    There’s something romantic about these kinds of shows.   Not kissy-kissy romantic, but you know. 

Anyway, this dude became the new GM, but he’s announcing he’s stepping down after tonight so some championship committee can take over.    I get the impression that New South recently ended some “evil authority figure takes over” storyline, and theyr’re still figuring out what to do next.   This all feels like a CAW Fed on YouTube.    Not necessarily a bad thing. 

New South Tag Team Championship: Wasted Generation vs. Talladega Knights (c): Well, that’s cool that we’re following through on the opening segment.   Dueling “Tal-la-DAY-ga” and “Let’s-Get-WAY-sted!” chants.   Pretty impressive for a crowd this small.    The commentator calls it a “bona fide heatfest”, and I feel like he meant “spotfest”, since this is a face vs. face match where they run through like a million offensive manuevers in five minutes.   But maybe heatfest is a real term and I’m just out of touch.  

This match is nuts.  I’ve seen sharpshooters, Falcon Arrows, moonsaults, superkicks, and that whole “I chop you now you chop me” bit they do in New Japan.    While I wrote this a guy jumped off the bleachers into the others, and it’s not that high off the ground, but it’s the thought that counts.    Part of the story here--maybe unintentionally, but I like it-- is that the referee just can’t keep up with these young’uns and their greased lightning anything goes style.   Wasted Gen’s finisher is called “Don’t Embarass Me in Front of Tyler Matrix”, whatever that means.   It gets a two count.  Canadian Destroyer, because of course they did.   The Talladega drapes a guy over the top rope and hits him with a double stomp, and that one gets the three.  Talladega Knights retain the gold, but Wasted Gen snatches the belts away... only to present them to the champs and raise their hands in a show of respect.   Hey this was good stuff.    

“The Hot Tamale” Daniel Perez vs. “The Unicorn Princess” Taylor Rae.   I wasn’t sure how I felt about intergender matches before I started watching all these indy matches, but I got used to it pretty quickly.   The only real insight I’ve noticed is that it probably has less to do with pushing boundaries or equality or anything like that, and it’s more about not having enough women wrestlers on any given show to do a separate division.    And that’s fine.   Part of my beef with AEW and WWE is that they underutilize the women because they’re in a separate division that usually gets demoted to the periphery.   

Perez is a Latin Lothario heel, and Rae thinks she’s a unicorn, I guess.   Perez tries to seduce her by offering a coupon for one free kiss, but Rae rips it up and goes to town on him.     I mean she starts kicking his ass, not “goes to town” in a romantic way.   Hot Tamale exposes the turnbuckle, which they really ought to do more in wrestling.   I say that and I see it all the damn time, but that’s not enough.    More turnbuckle exposing.    More!

Rae gets a lot of cool offense in, but it ends up coming back to the exposed turnbuckle, as Perez launches her into it and grabs a handful of tights to score the fall.    Nice match, but I’m noticing that I’ve only seen one intergender match where the woman wins.  Maybe I’m just not seeing the right ones, but my fear is that they do these matches and job out the gals, which kind of defeats the point of doing it.    

Backstage, this guy in glasses offers the Talledega Knights a spot in his stable, the Akuto Death Society.   They have T-shirts and get this, they’re black with a white logo.    The Knights decline the offer, and then they see something strange in a locker, which is ominously numbered 66.  Oooh.

“The Pittbull” Brett Ison vs. Baron Black (w/Shalandra Royal).  I think Baron Black may actually have a nobleman gimmick, as opposed to “Baron” being just his first name.   Fans bow to him as he makes his entrance.   Well, I’m down with it.   I don’t know what Ison’s deal is, but he wears a black towel on his head, so you know he must be a badass.    I thought I heard the announcer say they had a staredown at WrestleMania (?), but I haven’t watched WWE in over a year, so for all I know that might have actually happened.   

Both of these guys are presented as super-tough guys.   Ison, especially, but the Baron keeps taking it to him, even though he gets the worst of every exchange.    Finally, Black PULLS DOWN THE STRAPS, but he only gets a two count.   Ison reverses an ankle lock, and from there it’s all Ison.  He kind of looks like a young version of Corporate Kane, only he’s wearing a Death Row Records tank top.    I dig it.   Ison ends up outside, where he knocks out Shalandra.   Ooooh!   Baron goes nuts and clobbers him, and this lady walks by with a snack from the concession stand, which sort of kills the mood.   It looks like they just ordered a bunch of Papa Johns for this show.    That’s pretty cool. 

Black grabs a chair to take sweet revenge, hesitates for a moment, but then he goes for it and takes the disqualification.    Crowd chants “One more time”, and The Baron obliges his subjects, but Ison punches the chair as Black swings, and takes out Black with his own weapon in the process.   Crowd is furious at Ison.   This is the first DQ finish I’ve seen in months, and it’s pretty damn good.    If you’re going to end a match with a DQ, this is a good way to do it.   

Backstage, the New South champion is... in a gas station men’s room washing his face.   His shoulder’s all hurt and he doesn’t even know how bad it is yet.    The GM checks in on him and the champ cuts a promo about how he’s like a guy in a war movie who isn’t sure he’s gonna make it, but he’s gonna give it all he’s got.    This doesn’t really go anywhere.  

“The Kings Road Slayer” Derek Neal vs. Adam Priest.   Priest blindsides Neal during his entrance.    He works Neal over, then goes for a dive to the outside and catches his foot on the middle rope and basically lands face first on the floor, which is pretty awkward.  I guess he’s okay, but that looked pretty bad.   Crowd seems to be solidly behind Priest, which is weird since he ambushed Neal, but he’s the little guy in this match so maybe he’s the underdog in this thing?    Neal manages to pull off a superplex, but AT WHAT COST?   They get up and start trading blows, but Priest is just about spent.    Derek Neal picks up a leather strap like that’s a big deal, but Priest manages to hit him with a Death Valley Driver while he argues with the ref.    Now Priest has the strap, and the ref tries to take it from him, and that gives Neal an opening to hit a kick to the balls and a powerbomb, and Derek Neal wins.   What is a “Kings Road Slayer” exactly?

Backstage, the T-Knights show the GM the haunted locker, but he plays the whole thing off as a prank.   Camera finally pans to the locker to reveal... a lanyard with a card that reads “GM1″?    What does that even mean?

Kung Fu Donnie Janela vs. “Magnificant Michigan Muscle” Cody “Vanilla” Vance.  Weren’t Cody and Vance the two cousins they brought into replace Bo and Luke on Dukes of Hazzard?   Donnie Janela looks exactly like Joey Janela, except he’s billed as the “Kung Fu King Master of All Martial Arts.”   So is he doing an homage to Joey, or are they related or what’s the deal here?   I don’t want to shovel more dirt on the grave of Jim Cornette’s reputation, but I’m pretty sure Joey is red hot if he’s inspired imitators.    Which sort of leads me to suspect that maybe Jim Cornette is completely out of touch. 

Cody has two nicknames, but Vanilla is printed on his ass, and he’s got an ice cream cone on the front of his tights, so I feel like that should be the primary on.  I like the M3 on his kneepads though.   He looks like someone WWE would be interested in, though I can’t tell how big anyone is on this show.   Cody looks like he’s 6′7″, but he could be 5′5″ for all I know.  

Donnie takes control and starts whipping out his kung fu skills.  He’s got Chinese characters tattooed on his flank, so you know he’s legit.   THey fight evenly for a while, until Vance hits a spinebuster and a ripcord cutter for a two count.   Then Donnie hits a One-Winged Angel?    The announcer doesn’t call it, but I’m pretty sure that’s what I saw.   It gets a two count.   This show is wild, I tell you what.  Cody finally hits a Bicycle Kick and that ends the match.   They do a handshake at the end, and I gotta say, I’ve seen a lot of respect endings to matches this year and I’m still not sick of it.   

Donnie cuts a promo after the match and puts over Cody, but the crowd keeps heckling him.  Is Donnie a heel?   Because he thanks the crowd for supporting him.    Then Brett Ison lays him out and Kris Krunk comes out to make the save.  Okay, so Krunk was the guy who invited the Talledega Knights into the Akuto Death Society earlier on.   And Janela has an “ADS” armband, so I guess he’s in the group too.     But then Krunk betrays Janela and hits him with a chair, so I guess Janela’s out of the group?  He blames Donnie for something, and orders Ison to finish him with the Go2Sleep.  Then the good guys show up to help and Krunk and Ison withdraw.  

IWTV Championship: Rey Fury vs. WARHORSE (c).   NEVER MIND THAT SHIT, HERE COMES WARHORSE!     Rey Fury intrigued me because he looked like a pissed-off Rey Mysterio on the ads, but now that I see him in action he looks like his own guy, which is probably for the best.    Some guy in the crowd tells the ref to check Rey’s mask along with the rest of his gear, so the ref does it.    Then he checks Warhorse’s hair in the spirit of fairness.    Then both guys do a fist bump to start the match.   Yeah, we ain’t fuckin’ around here, Maggle.

Fury takes it to Warhorse to start off, and he rolls out of the ring and into one of the seats.     Fury tries to go after him, but Warhorse drives his face into the chair and takes back the initiative.   I think that pizza is free?   Cool.

Warhorse keeps chanting “Yee-yee” at Fury, which I think is Fury’s deal, so I don’t know if he’s trying to psych him up or taunt him.   Dueling chops, and I like how Rey’s mask has tassels in the back like hair, so they whip around when he moves.   This one really hoarse woman keeps rasping “Warhorse!”, and it sounds kind of creepy, but I appreciate her energy.  Maybe she wore out her voice chanting for Wasted Generation.

Warhorse takes the lead and lies on the top turnbuckle a la Shawn Michaels while Rey gets back into the ring.   I’m pretty sure Rey’s homegrown New South talent, but he’s having trouble keeping the crowd on his side.     Sometimes it’s half-and-half, and sometimes it’s like 80% Warhorse.    Rey fights back, goes to the top rope, but Warhorse counters with a top rope double-underhook suplex.    Isn’t that like a superplex?    

They fight outside for a while, then Rey tries another top-rope move, which Warhorse reverses in midair-powebomb.   It gets two, and Warhorse starts to despair.   Rey ducks the clothesline, hits a cutter, but only gets two.    That’s probably as close as he came in this match to winning the title.   Later, kids call out to Fury not to give up, so he’s not totally alone out here.   But Warhorse finally hits the double stomp off the top rope and retains the title.     After the match, Warhorse cuts a promo to put over Rey for putting on a helluva match.

They need to sign Warhorse with AEW and give him full creative control so he’s allowed to just run roughshod over the Dark Order.    Then they should make a midcard belt and let him hold it for the duration of his contract.  

There’s still the main event to go, but there’s like forty minutes left on this show, so I think I’ll cover that tomorrow.    Oh, it’s spelled “Chris Crunk”, not “Kris Krunk.”    Good to know.

Christmas Movies

“I am freezing. It’s so cold. I hate winter. I hate, hate, hate winter. I miss Georgia and sunshine and warm winters and only having snow once in a decade.” Cody said to no one in particular as he kicked off his soaked through shoes. “Oh my God. I think I’ve got frost bite.”

“How many times do I have to tell you to not wear your Chucks when it’s snowing?” Nick asked, coming into the room with a blanket in his hands.

“The only pair of shoes that water won’t soak through is so uncomfortable.” Cody whined as Nick unfolded the blanket and wrapped it around him. “Thank you.”

Nick smiled, dusting some snow off of his hair. “You’re welcome. I have water boiling for hot chocolate too.”

“You are too perfect for words.” Cody gave him a silly, lovesick smile.

“C’mon.” Nick nudged him until he was on the couch, legs pulled to his chest and wrapped in his blanket. “How was school?”

“I had Fieldwork today. Well, I was supposed to have Art Diagnosis too but it got cancelled this morning because my professor is snowed in. She travels.” Cody shivered, rubbing his hands together.

“Be right back.” Nick said, going into the kitchen which was close enough that they could still talk. “How was Fieldwork?”

“Experiential. We didn’t get to be with actual clients today. So, boring.” Cody said, a pout to his voice. “Soon we get to work with the kids. These next three weeks will focus on disabled people, though.”

“That sounds difficult.”

“It’s not that different.” Cody shrugged, smiling as Nick came in with two cups of hot chocolate.

“I’m crazy in love with you, you know?” Nick asked.

Cody reached for his cup. “I’m crazy in love with you too.”

Nick sat by him, getting under the blanket with him.

“Did you think any more about soccer?”

“Going pro?” Nick asked. “Yeah. I did. I still have a while longer to decide.”

“What are you leaning towards?”

“We weren’t worrying about it.” Nick reminded him. “And by we, I mean you.”

Cody huffed, taking a drink of his hot chocolate. His eyes then widened. “This is the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had.”

“No duh. You drink campus hot chocolate.” Nick giggled, pressing a kiss to his cheek. “I have to be entirely honest with you. I didn’t come up with the idea to make you hot chocolate. Tyler did.”

“Tyler?”

“He texted me, and I quote, ‘Cody won’t shut up about being cold. Make him some damn hot chocolate if you’re home. By the way, GO PRO FUTURE BRO!’ End quote.” Nick laughed.

“I’m surprised Jake didn’t text you that. He asks me every morning.” Cody laughed. “Sorry my brother loves to text you.”

“It’s okay. I encourage it with my witty and charming responses.” Nick winked.

Cody rolled his eyes, snuggling up to him while sipping on his hot chocolate. “Did you skip classes? The house is cleaner than it was when I left.”

“Online classes today.” Nick reminded him, taking a drink of his own hot chocolate.

“Well thank you for cleaning.”

“You’re welcome.” Nick smiled. “I told you to not worry about it. You’re really busy this semester, babe. I’ll keep up with the house. My classes are easy peasey.”

“You still shouldn’t have to do everything.” Cody protested.

“How much homework do you have today?”

Cody swallowed a mouthful of hot chocolate and let out a content sigh. “None. Well, per se. I may work on my thesis, though…” He paused. “Probably not.”

“Yes. Lay with me. We’ll watch Christmas movies.”

Cody’s face broke out in a smile.

“Not the religious ones.” Nick said quickly.

Cody laughed. “I want to watch Jack Frost… and the Grinch… and really cheesy ones off of ABC family!”

“Those make you cry.”

“It’s a good cry because they have happy endings.” Cody sat his empty mug down and rested his head on Nick’s chest. “Like us.”

“We are seriously going to watch Christmas movies before Thanksgiving.”

Cody pouted. “I’ve been watching them since the beginning of the month alone.”

“I’m sorry.” Nick kissed him.

“It’s okay.” Cody beamed. “I love you for watching them with me this early.”

“Well I love you for hating the cold and snow.” Nick laughed. “You can tell its warm year around in Georgia.”

“No, no. Warm in the fall and winter. Hot in the spring and summer.” Cody corrected. “It was seldom cold. Sometimes cool.”

Nick rubbed his side, fingers sliding up his sweater.

“Mmmh that feels good.” Cody let out another content sigh. “Your hands are warm…”

“Let’s watch the Grinch first.” Nick said as Cody grabbed their remote.

“Mmmkay.” Cody said, eyes half closed as he went into their recorded movies. And yes, there were currently 27 Christmas movies recorded.

“My God.” Nick said, eyes widening. “How do you have the time?”

“Sometimes I watch one after you fall asleep.” Cody said, embarrassed. “I watch them when I do my homework when you’re at soccer. I sign onto our account on my computer and watch them on lunch breaks at Pratt.”

Nick kissed him. “You are adorable. You’re also a Christmas nut.”

Cody buried his face in Nick’s chest, blushing.

“Oh, I love you. So, so much.” Nick kissed the back of his head. “Oh so much.”

“This is our second Christmas. You should know me by now.”

“Last Christmas I didn’t live with you. I only saw the obsession in moderation.” Nick laughed. “And I don’t know how anyone can love Christmas and hate snow as much as you.”

“Well I picked you, so you can already tell there’s something a little off about me.” Cody giggled, leaning up and kissing him.

“I’m going to tickle you for that one, Parker!” Nick laughed, sliding his hands up Cody’s shirt and tickling his sides.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Cody laughed loudly, flailing. “Don’t! It hurts!”

“It hurts?” Nick arched his eyebrow.

Cody rolled away when Nick paused, off of the couch and onto the floor.

“You hit your head!” Nick let out a loud laugh, falling onto his back on the couch. “If that isn’t Karma I don’t know what is!”

“Owww!” Cody said, both whimpering and laughing.

“I-If you’d seen your face!” Nick gasped through his laughter. “That was amazing!”

“You’re so mean to me!” Cody said, climbing onto the couch and sitting on him. “So I’m not moving.”

“You could have at least taken your pants off and sat a little lower down.”

Cody rolled his eyes, wiggling and putting all of his weight on Nick’s stomach.

“Your butt is bony.” Nick whined after a few seconds.

“You mistreat me.” Cody giggled. “Now I’m going to sit here for another minute.”

“Oh, I’m in time out now?” Nick smirked. “Are we role playing?”

“Does everything have to be about sex?” Cody asked, feigning impatience.

“Are you serious? After the second time we had sex, you all but pounced on me and undid my pants the second you saw me for three weeks.” Nick asked.

“Yes, well, you wanted it as badly as I did.”

“And then my dad giving me a talk.” Nick laughed loudly, easily moving Cody off of his lap. “About how I shouldn’t act too eager ‘because you’d feel pressured. I should have told him you wouldn’t even let me through the door before you were undoing my pants. He wouldn’t have believed me, though.”

“Corrupter.” Cody smiled at him, moving into a laying position and leaning against him. “No sex until we watch at least two Christmas movies. Then it’ll be up for discussion.”

“What you mean is thirty minutes into the first movie you’ll snuggle closer to me, rubbing against me, and then… Cody!”

“Shh. It’s starting. This is a Christmas movie, Nick. What works on Avengers movies doesn’t work with Christmas movies.” Cody lowered his hand, relaxing against Cody once again. “So just be the big spoon and enjoy the movie.”

“Blanket and a hot chocolate and this is the thanks I get.” Nick huffed as the Grinch started. “This isn’t even the good version.”

“Shh.”

“But—.”

“Shh.”

20 Fantasy Hockey Thoughts

Every Sunday until the start of the 2018-19 regular season, we'll share 20 Fantasy Thoughts from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's "Daily Ramblings".

Writers: Michael Clifford, Ian Gooding, Cam Robinson, and Dobber

  1. A player that I’ve been asked about a handful of times is Erik Haula. He went from being a fourth line center on a bubble playoff team in Minnesota to anchoring the second line and second powerplay unit on a powerhouse. He scored 29 goals and 55 points in 76 games. Recording career-highs in goals, assists, points, shots on goal, hits, power play goals, power play points (18 times as many as his previous career-high) and time-on-ice is groovy for a 27-year-old. But, is this a mirage or a trend to come?

It’s difficult to assess his previous work as his role is completely different than it was at any time during his tenure with the Wild. But, is that role secure? Vegas will be players in free agency this summer. If they fail to land the big fish in John Tavares, that doesn’t necessarily mean Haula is safe as the 2C long term.

The Golden Knights made two very astute draft picks last June in selecting Cody Glass (sixth overall) and Nick Suzuki (13th overall). Both players are tremendous talents. Both players are centers. Neither is able to be sent to the American Hockey League next year due to the CHL-NHL agreement, and it can be argued that at least one of them will be given a very long look at cracking the lineup as soon as this fall. Long-term, Glass and Suzuki present major obstacles to Haula maintaining his offensive deployment. If you’re a Haula owner, it’s a situation that needs to be watched very closely.

Another situation to keep an eye on is the psychological aspect of the entire Golden Knights’ squad. This is a team that could be ripe for an extra slow start out of the gate next fall. The Stanley Cup hangover is real. And this version may hold extra drowsiness. (june2)

  2. Something I wonder sometimes: Does Alex DeBrincat get overlooked in drafts next year? As far as rookies go, he’s never discussed among the elite of this year’s crop, which isn’t necessarily a huge fault of the hockey community. This was an absolutely loaded year for rookies. All the same, DeBrincat had 28 goals, over 50 points, over two shots per game, and did all that playing under 15 minutes a night. He did garner more ice time as the season wore on, though, and this team needs scoring from its wingers beyond just Patrick Kane and hopefully a rebounding Brandon Saad. Maybe he flies under the radar and gives us a reasonable average draft position (ADP) for 2018-19? Maybe. (june1)

  3. Flyers’ Wayne Simmonds was once a must-own power forward in leagues that counted penalty minutes. You could count on him for at least 25 goals (which he has reached five times) and at least 100 penalty minutes (which he has also reached five times). But, he reached neither mark in 2017-18, with his decline chronicled in a Geek of the Week article published in February.

So, what happened? Simmonds missed seven games in 2017-18. Although that might not seem like a huge deal, it sticks out more when you notice that his points per game has declined for the second consecutive season (from 0.74 to 0.66 to 0.61). His plus/minus has also taken a hit over that span, as he has been a combined minus-35 over the past two seasons. In fact, Simmonds hasn’t been a plus player since 2009-10. Frequent line shuffling also often made Simmonds the odd man out, as he spent significant time on the third line.

If you’re programmed to draft Simmonds as a top-100 player because of his history as a power forward, you’ll want to break the habit for your next draft. Having said that, he could provide solid value outside the top 100 if he can bounce back in one or more of those categories. (june3)

  4. How much impact can we expect from Ilya Kovalchuk? The recent history of greats returning to seek former glory isn’t a lengthy one. There’s Jaromir Jagr as the gold standard. The Czech wizard returned from a stint in the KHL at age 39. He played at a 64-point pace during the first three years of his celebrated return and brought more than his value to each squad.

Alex Radulov returned to the NHL after an eight-year hiatus (plus a cup of coffee with Nashville sprinkled in) as a 30-year-old. He’s played at a 65-point pace in the two seasons since – with the tasty 72-pointer this past season. He was also five years younger than Kovalchuk will be and landed on a power play unit featuring Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin, and John Klingberg. Pretty primo stuff.

We’d like to assume that Kovalchuk won’t be returning simply to enjoy the nightlife in a city like New York but rather he’ll sign somewhere where he’ll have a chance to chase that elusive Stanley Cup. If that’s the case, then he should be provided with ample surrounding talent and positive deployment. Where he goes in fantasy drafts will depend on his landing spot and how people view his potential. But, judging him on his KHL performance, his NHL pedigree and his (hopeful) desire to win, he should be valued as a potentially impactful winger to add to the fantasy ranks. (june2)

  5. Kevin Shattenkirk to get back to 50 points: Injuries derailed his season, but Shattenkirk was settling in nicely for the Rangers with 23 points in 46 games. Maybe it was injuries, maybe it was Alain Vigneault, but he was playing just over 20 minutes a game until he left the lineup for good. There are some talented young defensemen like Brady Skjei and Neal Pionk but he should be their go-to guy on the blue line, for better or worse. He should be able to add a couple minutes per game with heavy top power-play usage included. If there’s one thing the Rangers don’t lack, it’s speed and skill up front. Their defensive woes likely continue but they’ll be fun to watch in the offensive zone, and Shattenkirk should be a big beneficiary here. (june1)

  6. Jack Eichel to finish top-5 in the Art Ross race: Eichel’s performance to this point of his career has put him in the same company as some of the greats to play this game in the past and the elite currently in the NHL. Two things hampered him last year: injury and team underperformance. That underperformance mainly came on the power play where their relative shooting percentage went down about 18 percent with him on the ice, leading to Eichel having fewer power-play points (20) in 2017-18 than in 2016-17 (24) despite six more games played. In a full, healthy season with that power play returning to form, he should be over a point-per-game player. (june1)

  7. Bo Horvat to reach 70 points in 2018-19: Even if time together was somewhat limited due to injuries, Horvat and Brock Boeser gave us glimpses of the magic in the future for the two of them on the ice. Horvat’s 82-game pace was 57 points and he did that while not even being on pace for 20 power-play points. With both Daniel and Henrik Sedin retired, this is Horvat’s and Boeser’s team now. They should both be near or past the 20-minute mark per game and both with an added year of chemistry together. There is a lot of upside for this duo in 2018-19. (june1)

  8. A recent article recently quotes Marc Bergevin as saying Montreal isn’t likely to deal the third overall pick. It never really made sense in the first place; the Habs need to start stocking the cupboards. This isn’t a team one-impact player away from the Cup.

From a fantasy hockey perspective, though, it’s kind of disappointing, I think? For fantasy hockey owners in redraft leagues, we don’t care if the team is going to be good in three years. We need the team to be good now. Fantasy owners need legitimate centers to feed guys like Max Pacioretty, Alex Galchenyuk, Artturi Lehkonen, and Brendan Gallagher. It’s in the best interest of the team and its fans for the long-term to hold that pick but the selfish fantasy owner in me wanted to see them trade it in some sort of package for a top-end center.

Ah well. Maybe they’ll still sign John Tavares.

(Editor’s note: they will not sign John Tavares) (may31)

  9. Alex Galchenyuk to get back to 30 goals: At some point, the Montreal coaching staff realized Galchenyuk could be a pretty good offensive option on the power play when he’s put in a spot to succeed; i.e. his weak side in a one-time spot off seam passes rather than in the slot like TJ Oshie. And lo! He tied a career-high with nine power-play goals. The issue was at five-on-five where he shot 6.5 percent, by far a career-worst, having never shot below 9.6 percent before, and possessing three seasons of at least 12 percent. If the team keeps him as a focal point of the power play (fingers crossed), and that five-on-five conversion rate regresses, there is a big rebound season coming in the goal-scoring department. (june1)

  10. The Habs’ Artturi Lehkonen is one player whose ADP I’m interested to see in September. I doubt it’s even inside the top-200 given his horrific start to the year depressed his numbers (remember, he had two goals at the All-Star Break, and both goals came in the same game). All the same, his 82-game pace for shots was 203 and to do that as a 22-year old in his second season on this roster is impressive. He doesn’t even need a bigger role to be a fantasy contributor next year but consistent top-six minutes with top power-play time should help. (may31)

  11. It’s hard to see Pierre-Luc Dubois being undervalued going into drafts next year given that by the end of the year he was on both the top line and the top power play unit for Columbus. But people are scared of Tortorella’s … let’s call it whims. Dubois was a monster down the stretch for the team with 16 assists and 26 points in 33 games post-All Star Game and on the top line there’s no reason not to think he can’t post similar numbers over a larger sample next year. Getting to 35 assists with guys like Artemi Panarin, Cam Atkinson, or Josh Anderson on his wing is doable. (may31)

  12. Reader Ian Duval asked: “I’m very curious to hear people’s opinion on Wheeler moving forward. What type of production would you expect over the next couple of years?”

The first thing that comes to mind with this question is Blake Wheeler’s age. This may not seem to be the case given the Jets’ group of young scorers, but Wheeler will turn 32 at the end of the summer. For an early first-round pick, Wheeler hasn’t taken a conventional path. He should be considered somewhat of a late bloomer, debuting in the NHL at age 22 and posting his career high in points at age 31. An age-related decline is inevitable and could begin next season, but to what degree?

About that career high in points: Wheeler has remained consistent in scoring between 20-30 goals over the last five seasons, yet he exploded for a career-high 68 assists, which was tied for the league lead. So with the bulk of the points coming in the form of assists, the question becomes whether the assists are primary or secondary. Well, you’ll be happy to know that 48 of Wheeler’s 68 assists were of the primary variety, which also led the league and was seven ahead of the next-highest performer in that category. So, no major fluke or expected regression.

Having said that, 91 points will be a very difficult number for Wheeler to reach two seasons in a row. But, with Mark Scheifele as his regular center (and hopefully for a full season this time), Wheeler should be fine. Eighty points should be within reach next season, then probably something like 70-80 points the season after. Wheeler has missed just four games over the past five seasons, so those numbers should include virtually no injury discount. (may30)

  13. No one player’s fantasy stock has increased more this postseason than that of Braden Holtby, who was No.1 on Tom Collins’ Top 10 list this past week. Holtby should be back in the discussion of top 10 fantasy goalies, even after a subpar regular season. Then again, I get the feeling that you could pick goalies next season by throwing a bunch of names into a lottery drum. Okay, I won’t spoil the very measured and proven process that we have here at DobberHockey by suggesting that you be completely random.

But still: How will I know that a goalie that I would pick in the second round will be that much better than one that I pick in the eighth round? I expect a ton of debate and not as much variance than in the past between where individual goalies are ranked. (may30)

  14. By the way, how much can a strong playoff performance improve a player’s fantasy value over the following season? You may want to read the article Playoff Heroes written by Rick Roos nearly a year ago, which really sheds some light on this topic. I’ll also put this out there, since I mentioned Guentzel earlier:

Guentzel career regular season: 0.66 PTS/GP

Guentzel career playoffs: 1.14 PTS/GP

We’re at a point in which we should be judging Guentzel more on his regular-season play than his playoff performance. Without regular first-unit power-play minutes, Guentzel’s upside is unfortunately limited. That is, unless there’s something to those Phil Kessel trade rumors. Then Guentzel keeper owners might have something to celebrate. (may30)

  15. Lars Eller has been otherworldly in the postseason. Should the Caps win the Cup, there’s no chance that Eller wins the Conn Smythe. There are too many other worthy players that play more minutes at the top of the lineup. The significant improvement of Eller and his third line, though, is a big reason why Washington finds itself in the Final. (may29)

  16. Aleksi Heponiemi appears to be heading for Finland. The second-round Florida pick from 2017 has absolutely shredded the WHL over the last two seasons to the tune of 204 points in 129 games. At the age of 19, he has nothing left to do in Junior. The move to Finland would get him a year playing at a very high level of men’s hockey at which time he would presumably find his way to the Panthers roster. I’m sure dynasty owners were hoping he would be in the lineup for 2018-19 but it appears they’ll have to wait another season. (may29)

  17. Here is something that kind of quietly slipped into Elliotte Friedman’s ‘30 Thoughts’ this week and not really mentioned anywhere else – Ducks’ Ryan Kesler may not be playing next season. At all. His hip is in a bad way and although he won’t have surgery, they are trying a rehab method and he may end up taking the year off. Anyway, if that happens he won’t return until he’s 35 and I have my doubts if he can regain any fantasy relevance at that point. I also don’t like it for Jakob Silfverberg owners, unless they can find him a talented center to play with. He seems lost without Kesler – and the ‘real’ Kesler never really came back last year. (may28)

  18. I was looking through the UFA goaltenders for this summer and I will list and rate them all here for you. A rating of 10.0 is a Connor Hellebuyck type, a rating of 0.1 is Antti Niemi-type, a rating of 5.0 is like a Steve Mason or Scott Darling …    

1. Jaroslav Halak, 6.5

2. Anton Khudobin, 6.0

3. Jonathan Bernier, 6.0

4. Carter Hutton, 6.0

5. Cam Ward, 5.2

6. Laurent Brossoit, 5.0

7. Harri Sateri, 4.5

8. Andrew Hammond, 4.3

9. Michael Hutchinson, 4.2

10. Ondrej Pavelec, 4.0

11. Kari Lehtonen, 3.5

12. Chad Johnson, 3.3

13. Scott Wedgewood, 3.0

14. Adam Wilcox, 2.5

15. Eddie Lack, 1.5

As you can see, there are no easy fixes for teams struggling to stabilize their goaltending and it’s why all teams should have at least seven and ideally nine or 10 in the system. Instead, what we see is five or six per team and then they cherry-pick from the NCAA or Europe as needed. (may28)

  19. However, there are several goalies hitting RFA status this summer and a couple of them can be acquired I’m sure. Philipp Grubauer and Calvin Pickard lead this list, as well as David Rittich. And I think it’s a good idea to hit Juuse Saros with an offer sheet that Nashville will, of course, match but then they’d be stuck with $12 million or more just for goaltending. (may28)

  20. It’s been disappointing to see Tomas Tatar on the sidelines for most of the playoffs since Vegas acquired him at the trade deadline but sometimes a player doesn’t mesh immediately. It speaks to just one of the issues that can arise post-deadline with acquisitions. Regardless, they acquired Tatar because both James Neal and David Perron are UFA and it’s not certain both (or either) return. Tatar has posted four straight 20-goal seasons, averaging 24 goals per campaign in that span, playing just over 16 minutes on average a night. He should find himself in the Vegas top-six next year with power-play time and a return to 25 goals seems possible in those circumstances. (may31)

  Have a good week, folks!!

2017 Senior Bowl rosters: Which players bolstered their draft stock this week?

In Mobile this week, the good players were good.

A crucial week of Senior Bowl practices has concluded and, well, not much has changed for the players auditioning for the 2017 NFL Draft.

Going into today’s Senior Bowl game, which is at 2:30 p.m. ET on NFL Network, Alabama tight end O.J. Howard was widely considered to be the top player. That didn’t change after a series of three practices where Howard flashed with one-handed catches, good size and athleticism.

Howard could have easily sat out the all-star game and it wouldn’t negatively impact his draft status. Instead, he wanted to prove he was the top tight end prospect and that he could be utilized more than he was at Alabama.

“I know some people out there might say I’m the top tight end in the class, but nothing is certain and I want to prove my case that I’m the guy,” Howard said to Emily Kaplan Sports Illustrated.

If Howard didn’t put in the best week of practice then Temple defender Haason Reddick most certainly did. Reddick’s NFL position is still somewhat ambiguous, but it doesn’t matter. He played end and rush linebacker at Temple, but got shifted to inside linebacker in Mobile, Ala. Wherever he lined up, he starred thanks to his pure athleticism and first step quickness.

NFL Network’s Mike Mayock tabbed Reddick as the star of practices, saying “(Reddick) showed he can do a bunch of things and do them well.” It’s impossible to say that Reddick has for sure locked down a top 64 pick, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise if he goes that high in April.

Another player who looked to cement his draft status was Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp. The question about him entering the week was whether or not he could hang in a week of practices against FBS competition. Most suspected he would be fine after he had 12 catches for 206 yards and three touchdowns against Washington State to start last season. Still, the questions lingered and he quickly put them to rest.

Even just watching the televised practices it was clear that Kupp is a smooth route runner who gets open with ease. His hands are good, as is his size. Teams will want to see how he tests next month at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he’s another player who should carry a second round grade, at worst.

Some of the other wide receivers in attendance – particularly East Carolina’s Zay Jones and Louisiana Tech’s Trent Taylor – performed exactly as expected. They should be solid Day 3 draft picks who pull in plenty of catches out of the slot. No receiver at practices helped himself more than Chad Williams of Grambling State. Like Kupp, he had to show he could keep up. He kept up catching passes just fine, and he grabbed headlines for getting into a fight on Wednesday.

If the momentum for Williams is starting to snow ball, it’s completely out of control in a good way for Connecticut safety Obi Melifonwu. Again, his play shouldn’t come as a surprise after a season in which he had 118 tackles and four interceptions. But what stood out for Melifonwu was his range and athleticism. An all-star game setting is often unkind to safeties because they’re not utilized much in full team drills. Still, Melifonwu was covering tight end and receivers with ease and closing on the ball in a hurry. With a good combine showing, the stock might just keep going up and up for him.

Toledo’s Kareem Hunt was the top running back going into practices and it showed every day. He’s advanced as a pass catcher, asserted himself in blocking drills and has a solid combination of power and speed running the ball.

Western Kentucky offensive lineman Forrest Lamp got off to a strong start at practice before suffering a high ankle sprain. With Lamp out of the picture, Indiana’s Dan Feeney looked liked the best blocker participating. His versatility helped him as he proved to be adept playing both guard and center. He’s this year’s version of Cody Whitehair, a second-round pick of the Chicago Bears who started all 16 games as a rookie.

Much like Feeney on the offensive line, Auburn’s Montravius Adams separated himself on the defensive line. That’s saying something on a South roster that also included UCLA’s Eddie Vanderdoes, Alabama’s Dalvin Tomlinson and Clemson’s Carlos Watkins. Adams’ first step quickness stood out compared to his teammates for the week, and could help him land in the top 50 of the draft. Vanderdoes had an uneven week. At times he looked dominant, but there were a few plays where he was on the ground. Tomlinson looked good as well, but teams will heavily scrutinize his health because he’s had ACL surgery in both knees.

Teams will look heavily at the medical report for Tennessee defensive back Cameron Sutton as well. He missed several games last season, but had a nice bounce back at practices playing corner and safety. Iowa’s Desmond King will probably move to safety in the NFL, he also had a good week.

None of the quarterbacks stood out at practices. Here’s a sentence scouting report on each:

C.J. Beathard, Iowa: Everyone’s favorite to be the next Kirk Cousins, aka out of college he projects as a backup with average natural tools.

Sefo Liufau, Colorado: Tough with good size, but placement on his passes was off frequently.

Nate Peterman, Pittsburgh: Has much of what a team will want in a quarterback but doesn’t have much of an arm, which isn’t a good thing for a quarterback.

Josh Dobbs, Tennessee: He sure is athletic, and some team will probably want to stash him on their practice squad.

Antonio Pipkin, Tiffin: The small school George Whitfield pupil could only help himself, which he probably did, but it’s an uphill battle for him.

Davis Webb, California: He looks the part and could have stole the show at practices but seemed to be in a holding pattern all week.

Don’t Miss This 2 (1/13 – 1/19)

WWE Match of the Week:

Pete Dunne vs. Tyler Bate

WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament, 1/15 

What's more amazing, that WWE's match of the week featured two talents that never graced the E's network until a week before it aired, or that these two are at this level at this young an age? I like to joke with my Ring Post co-host Myke Hurley that the rest of us hate him for his youth, but Tyler Bate's goofy nineteen-year-old ass is another hamper of crazy-pants all-together.

First of all, I didn't buy Bates at the start, especially due to his gee-golly 'charm' and the fact that his "I've got two fists" line ripped off James Ellsworth almost verbatim (though who knows, The Chinless Wonder might have been copying Bates).

But from the moment Pete Dunne popped up on the screen, I hated him and enjoyed it. He's got the perfect aesthetic as a bully, and his combination of a sneer and his fist-against-jaw give me thoughts of Miz and Kevin Owens at the same time. Plus, he's all packed into a Sami Callahan-esque frame that makes it all feel fresh. But how did they get this match to be so awesome? 

Well, by keeping the two on a steady progression of heel and face dynamics and preceding the match with Bate winning Wolfie's respect and Dunne's run-in on Bate, trying to break his shoulder. That's compact storytelling, and William Regal's outrage (and Michael Cole's focus on said outrage) tied it all together, man. That all made the match mean a lot. You had someone to cheer, someone to boo, and they both played their parts. 

 Bate and Dunne both look their respective parts as well, Bate looks like the kid who always gets picked on by Dunne's bully, and they were able to show and not tell over the span of the night. This match follows those expectations, and Dunne spends most of the match ravaging Bate's shoulder, including a Kimura lock that looked downright grizzly. 

If you had to take the match by itself, I'd almost prefer Mark Andrews vs Pete Dunne (which I think had a better-paced finish) from the previous round, but this one just shows how much the story-telling can add. The match made both of these guys huge, and I look forward to seeing what they have coming up. 

Here’s a short clip. Watch the whole thing on the Network.

Best WWE Segment of the Week:

The King's Court with Jerry The King Lawler and Dolph Ziggler

SmackDown Live, 1/17 

I'll be the first to say I'm shocked that I'm giving credit to Dolph Ziggler and Jerry Lawler. Both rank high on my "fall off this planet, please" list, and will likely stay there for some time. But since Degree of Difficulty matters for me when trying to compare wrestling moments, I need to give this segment its due.

Wrestling's performed gimmicks always glimmer more when they're fused with reality, and so it's reasonable that a segment where Dolph Ziggler returned to finish the job of killing Jerry Lawler flat-out held me in its hands. It's the end of the simmer-segment of Ziggler's heel turn, which is now at full-boil. 

Lawler's also part of the Royal Rumble announce team, and I wouldn't be surprised to see those two go at it. And in one segment (which draws from ages ago), they got me to care so much more about that confrontation than the inevitable Rollins & Triple H shmozz. I'll admit that this probably worked so well for me because going shirtless-with-cape felt like it should shame Lawler a bit.

Best non-WWE Match of the Week:

Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada (c) IWGP Heavyweight Championship

NJPW on AXS, 1/13 

Yes, this match originally took place on January 4th, and you may know I'm not that hot on it, but the AXS TV version with Jim Ross aired for the first time on 1/13, and that's how bad the wrestling outside of the WWE was this week. 

Also, I need to explain something. 

You know how Bate vs. Dunn had barely any buildup but strong face vs. heel dynamics and performances? Omega vs. Okada was the pinnacle of Good Moves and fast pacing at the end, but it had tons of build time but zero face vs. heel storytelling in the ring. As dramatic as it is to be the main event at Wrestle Kingdom at the Tokyo Dome, this match lost so much by not attempting anything aside from moves. 

The one story, if you'll call it that, was "this is Kenny Omega trying to achieve, but he needs his finishing move and Okada won't let him do it." That's so tiny, it gets lost in the scale of it all. Amazing moves though, I can't believe Okada's neck is still intact after all of that. And good for Kenny Omega for finally getting the attention he's earned.

Best non-WWE Segment of the Week:

Cody (Rhodes) Will Judge YOU, ROH Fans

Ring of Honor, 1/15 

This Cody right here: the post-Final Battle-heel turn on Jay Lethal, pre-Bullet Club, is the best version of Indie Cody the wrestler we cannot call Rhodes. It creates solid, consistent loathing from the fans. Cody's explanation of why he turned heel is that the ROH fans were going to judge him at Final Battle, but nobody judges him. That it's the other way around, he's here to judge us. Also, I won't spoil anymore, except he gets point for use of the word "proboscis." 

Maybe some people don't like fan heckling like "Where's Your Sexy-Ass Wife?" yell here and the "STAAAAAR-DUUUUUUUSSSST" fan at that the debut Defy Wrestling show in Seattle, but it works so well overall. Cody trying to call security on the guy who asked where Eden was was hysterical.
