"pot-luck" -- currently seeking a better p-word and ideas for an area that used to be mostly book-reviews and poetry (especially since no one who reads books seems to want to writes about 'em). NOT doing celebrity gossip and a concept was just brought up to me along the lines of "commentary about stuff people do in their leisure time that isn't already covered by other areas of insidepulse.com" but what IS that exactly? thoughts are welcome...
A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf.
That was the reason he got the job in the first place. It was assumed that a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify about in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10 million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he embezzled from me is."
The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and says, "Ask him again!"
The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell him!"
The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens!"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the balls to pull the trigger."
You are central in your beliefs about wrestling. You accept the idea of both old-school and sports entertainment but you are not extreme in either way. You believe that angles and matches are equally important to create a good wrestling product.

Seriously... Johnny Nitro (real name: John Hennigan) has taken the new moniker "John Morrison," seemingly due to his resemblance to Doors legend Jim Morrison. What's next? Wrestling versions of Biggie, Janice, Jimi and Kurt? This fun blog post looks at some possibilities....
