I’m taking one. I’m ill. I’ve just thrown up the worst thing I’ve ever thrown up in the worst thing I’ve ever thrown up into. I wish I was dead. I’d wish I was asleep but I’ve woken up three times to vomit in 18 hours and It’s kinda turned me off sleeping altogether.
So I’ll just post this wrestling match from 2005 because it’s amusingly blunt in its fake violence and on the commentary track Joey Styles says “it’s a shame [Mike Awesome] didn’t succeed in taking his own life”, which he in fact did less than two years later.
Goodbye gang. Hey, be good to your bodies because this is straight up the worst day I’ve had in years.

OK. You’ve not been watching wrestling in ten years, then you you don’t know what a Matt Striker is. It’s not someone unfortunate enough to have to get in the ring with the portly Hardy brother (and I’m sorry Deborah, but he’s a gelatinous orbule these days). Nah, he’s a commentator and possible former wrestler. I think he was a wrestler. Look it up. Then come back to here and continue reading…

Banky deserves better...
Late last year on a comics raid of Manchester I ended up buying a copy of Spider-Man: Spirits Of The Earth from an indie movie memorabilia store called Cineheroes whose proprietor was desperate enough to get rid of the 22-year old book that he sold it for half the sticker price as soon as I expressed my glimmer of half interest. Hey, it was hardback, it was rare and it was cheap. What to lose, eh?
Little did I know that I was about to embark on one of the most consistently infuriating comics reading experiences of my young life to date. Spirits Of The Earth (by Charles Vess) is one of the goofiest wastes of paper I’ve ever seen. I’ve been meaning to write about it for ages but only got round to gathering my thoughts on the matter tonight. Here are them.
I’ve decided to stick these on the main page and archive them on their own page, starting with the landmark one hundred and forty ninth. Should make me feel like actually doing them more often. They’re a neat little mental workout.
