You put RSPW.net webmaster on your resume???
Krusty
> It's amazing how those three vestigial neurons you call a "mind" work.
Yeah, if only I could be as successful as you. Then I'd get the validation I
so desperately crave from a wrestling newsgroup.
Um, are you in therapy?
Krusty
> Why would I be hunting a job when I have a job?
See, now I know what your problem is...you just don't know what a "job"
is...
Do you claim the $4.58 you made at "redpaper" on your taxes there Bill Gates

Working on the RSPW FAQ in your trailer is a great job. No commute, set your
own hours, be your own boss!!!! The pay stinks though.

It's funny how I didn't mention money...

My competency would run circles around you. I just don't go blowing my horn

No, you've just got a whole "bragging" section on your "please look at me"
website.
"blah blah blah, here's the computers I have...blah blah blah...here's the
software I have...blah blah blah...I'm certified winzip...blah blah blah..."
You're so hilariously full of shit your eyes are brown. Please continue to
entertain me.
Krusty
> yOu're not entertained, Jeffrey - you're scared shitless.
laugh...my...fucking...ass...off...
You don't scare shit. You're a fucking failure. You go ON AND ON about my
money, you go ON AND ON about how I'm not this, or how I'm not that...You
lament endlessly about me doing an "faq" or whatever...you're a fucking
failure at damn near everything you've touched...
Scared? of what?...that your suck might rub off?

Nice try, but let's back up once again.
I didn't mention money.
You did.

That's your sanity knocking...k00k.

I'm not joking when I say I literally fell off my chair and got a cramp in my
side from laughing til I cried at this statement.

on the wrestling biz would be a failure, mainly because
interest in wrestling is at a low ebb and nobody really
cares about this place outside those who post here.
A book about RSPW which is a psychological study on how
people online create false personas in order to feed
their egos and feel powerful, with that sort of wrestling
connection as a backdrop, however, could make an
interesting read. Add in all the kookiness and flamewars
and stuff that's gone into the "real world". That could
have potential.
Of course, any author making a book on RSPW would have
to deal with any lawsuits and people wanting profits
for any of their posts used in the book, etc., etc..
