Todd gets the vote!! He mails the stuff out, and I want to get my stuff on time. sorry LWPD.

[tombraider]

go lwpd you can do it.

[bauermann]

LWPD.

[Mike M]

Since it's so close in the early going, would the combatants care to cut a promo for the match?

At the very least, it could give some flavor for the write-up... ;D

[GrumpyBigBee]

got to go with the guy that upset me...

[LWPD]

Out of respect from a request by esteemed Hall of Famer Mike M...I present this worked-shoot heel promo entitled 'Who's The Mack'.

Take no offense TM as none is intended. You are a valued member of this community!

(The spiritual sounds of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole 'Hawaii 78' plays in the background as this State of The Paint Dry Nation speech is delivered to the masses)

"Why should one vote for LWPD over Tournament Master? What's the difference between the two of us? Who's The Mack? Well to be brutally honest...it's the difference between substance and mediocrity. Which one of us 'you' relate to reveals your own level.

Our posting histories couldn't 'paint' a clearer picture. Tournament Master is a pro wres 'fan' who throughout the years has provided popcorn level opinion posts. I extensively participated in taking the WWF IPO to market. The quality of my posts reflect that level of insight. Honestly ask yourself who has brought more enduring value over the years with our posted contributions...and if you have an adult level intelligence you'll conclude that it's not even competitive.

TM sells Filsinger Games merchandise for his own personal profit. I built the largest collection of 'open source' archived CotG material on the planet...with my only ROI being the knowledge that it would benefit those in this community by enhancing their enjoyment of the game.

TM at times will discuss the classic days of pro wres. I have built a comprehensive streaming data base of pro wres footage that spans across the country, the world, genre and time. My contribution was endorsed by an MIT Instructor and was made a part of his pro wres study program...all of which expands exposure of CotG and LOW and elevates it's community in the eyes of casual onlookers.

TM votes in the CotG Online HOF...I _BUILT_ the CotG Online HOF.

Enough said.

I'm sure TM is a nice guy and a good family man...who's always polite and punctual...and he does provide a valuable service in distributing Filsinger Games material. He's similar to the guy who comes to the office and shines my shoes every Monday and Friday. Yet it's also true that every single one of his posts could be deleted tomorrow and completely erased from history...and nothing of substance would be lost. He himself knows this.

Erase the history of LWPD...and you would lose years of priceless invaluable insight from someone who knows this business better than few people you'll ever interact with...lost forever would be access to a _MASSIVE_ amount of open source CotG game content that has benefited countless people over the years...gone like the wind would be the 'Good' Pro Wres Streaming Archive which allowed this board, it's community and it's product lines to appear substantive enough to be endorsed by an MIT Instructor...missing would be a deeply developed MMA Streaming Link database...and into the abyss would be the very existence of the CotG Online HOF.

In summary...TM = nice guy...but on 'the level' of the one who Leads With Precise Discernment...not a chance. Water seeks it's own level...do yourself a favor and don't drown in mediocrity...rise to the heights of the Gods...think Paint Dry...be Paint Dry...vote Paint Dry!"

When it comes to me
Save the drama for your momma
It's Paint Dry and you know that I'm a
Mack in my own right
When it comes to rhyme and rap
'Cause All I do is kick facts

If I vote for you LWPD do you promise to stop slacking and contribute to the MMA forum for once?
LWPD has my vote.

[Tournament Master]

No offense taken LWPD. Although its time for a little worked shoot retaliation.

(The Tournament Master follows behind LWPD to German Polka music. Most fans continue to file out of the forum, unaware that the Tournament Master is about to deleiver an "inspiring" speech.)

I must say that LWPD has done a wonderful job...in picking the most appropriate name for himself. I started the 2nd coat of piant on the baby's room as my wife started reading the promo to me, and by the end of it the paint was already dry. Kudos to you Mr. Paint.

I love how LWPD tries to put himself over as a man of the people. But there he is sitting up there in his ivory tower hiding behind his LWPD moniker like the Wizard of OZ. But what do we really know about the guy? Not a heck of alot.

Me on the other hand you know exactly who I am. Many of you have met me and talked with me at Galacticon. Others have known me for years in the COTG community and know me by my real name. Todd. I honestly dn't think LWPD's family refer to him at reunions as Paint. (Although I guess I wouldn't be overly surprised if they did...I'd hate to be the cousin trapped in the corner of the room as LWPD causually explains his theories on the socio-economic decline of the typewritter repair person in America.)

Sure, I now am helping Tom sell Filsinger Games inventory for a profit. Is it as profitable as my 9-5 job?...not by a long shot. But I am happy to do it because it is work I am putting towards something I love and want to see continue for many years. Without help from Kris and myself, COTG wouldn't be able to continue in the capacity that it once has. I've helped taken away the headaches from Tom so that he can concentrate more on the fun and creative parts. And at the same time it gives me some practice in running my own business. I honestly don't think those are evil intentions.

Now I'll fully admit that my comments on the message board are not always as well research as LWPD's, and are usually full of pud puns. But thats just who I am, a silly guy who is around to have everyone get along and have fun. I'm not here to spout off obsurce facts and make people reach for their dictonary to read my posts.

In closing I am going to borrow a gimmick from our good friend the Mad Jester.

There once was a blowhard named Paint.
Who online fancied himself a saint.
But deep down he is a phony.
His "deep" insights are full of bologna.
The deserving winner of this tournament he ain't.

(Tournament Master gives the tournament bracket sign and leaves the stage to the applause to the lone janitor left in the room.)

[swarm]

Borrowed gimmicks never work. Just ask Fake Razor Ramon and Fake Diesel.

LWPD!

[Thad Killian]

Amen TM! Eminem said it best..."You are who you say you are! Your name is..slim Toddy!" ;-)

Gots to go with my boy to tie the tournament...Trivia Squad for Life!

[krisosk]

And Todd the TM takes the lead!

It's all in good fun. Besides...it was an honor to get this far...we both owe those reading at least a little bit of a show toward the end.

Dont give Swarm any ideas for G-con with that whole Carrie prom scene stuff. Getting punched in the balls is bad enough.

Man, I wish I could make G-Con. I have several candidates for a Black and Decker Pecker Wrecker.

ummm...you know that means a blowjob from a black girl with braces. I thought you were white?

[swarm]

Mental note: do not ever stand in any line where dukedave is at the end of.

write that down.

Not where I'm from. But hey, you're from Detroit. That's what a shot to the sack is called around here. "a Shot to the sack" is just too generic.

EDIT: Upon further research, the net has info validating Swarm's info. I just didn't see the Black Girl part. He must be racist, hey it's Swarm. I started using this terminolgy 20 years ago before the net. I will likely stop using it now, though.

When will we know who won?


I'll close the gap by voting for LWPD
