You guys made my week.
Would have said month, but I just got my masters degree about two weeks ago (with a graduation thesis titled Language of the North American Pop Culture in the Slovene Subtitle Translation: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World).

Well... white IS all colors of lightwaves at once, but with pigmentation (like color in a vinyl disc) black is all colors at once.

Kenneth Levinsmith Inducted Into Record Album Handling Hall of Fame
BY DAVID S. SPUDNICK
Associated Press
GRAND FALLS, MI -- Longtime record collector Kenneth 'White Gloves' Levinsmith was inducted into the Record Album Handling Hall Of Fame in a quiet ceremony early Saturday afternoon in downtown Grand Falls.
Ken is a native of Detroit but has turned a quiet retirement community in Orlando, FL into his year-round home. The proud owner of what friends describe as a "world-class polka collection", Ken says his crowing achievement was returning a vinyl record album back to its original picture sleeve a previously unheard of 4,754 consecutive times without touching the edge of the jacket. Thats a whopping 12 year, 4 month span that bests the next closest competitor by nearly a decade.
"When I first got into the hobby" the still youthful 'Kenney White Gloves' remarks, "I always wanted to focus on the fundamentals like my sleeve handling. None of this flashy stuff you see these DJs doing with their platters nowadays. Today, with this great honor, the fundamentals have paid off."
There were some heavyweights from the Record Handling world in attendance at the event, and most agree with that notion. Richie '180 Gram' Rossi - a highly regarded sleeve handler himself, and a member of RAHHOF Class of '02 - said of Ken, "You see these kids today, in their Hot Topics and Barnes and Nobles, holding their long players by the grooves, and it just chokes you up. They could learn a thing or two from Kenny. A little something called Vinyl Respect. Or Vispect, for short."
Adds Jimmy 'The Human Record Brush' Horton, "These kids today, with their iPods and Record Stores Days. They don't know what it was like in the days before polybags. We had to use dry cleaning bags in those days. Just think of it - dry cleaning bags! Those things sure as hell ain't acid-free!!"

Checking in to say I think the current Shane vs Undertaker HIAC match sounds stupid to me. I'll wait for something better to emerge. But, to his credit, Shane has taken some crazy bumps. Including this botched fucker:

There you go:
How can you not cheer for HHH at this point? Even from a kayfabe point of view, there are more reasons to dislike Reigns than HHH.

I just spent 15 minutes helping an old dude turn off his pop-up blocker, when we are not supposed to support the browser, just our website. That was fun.
