The non-highlighted was written on February 6, 2020.
Well, I appreciate all the news coverage that allowed me to stay occupied the vast majority of my shift, but I definitely could have waited one more week. In other words, trying to develop an argument to convince my mom to abandon the Grand Old Party is what is on my mind. Not to say that witnesses would have changed the result, but one would have to at least appreciate the effort put into the cover up.
There has been enough news that some decent conversations have been held at the day job. Margot Robbie's amateur tattoo stories have come out filled the pop culture and its influence on college kids and impulsive soon to be 40 somethings (If she and Jeff Hardy can own machines, why not I?). The Christian Right (and white) Facebook opinions about the Super Bowl halftime allowed for a common ground with the more religious types in the office.
The Religious: You know how much I love Jesus, but whoa. And the stupid Bible verses to defend her stance.
Me: Did she go straight to Leviticus?
The Religious(s): Ha!
I suggested to both to just use the "unfollow" option on Facebook, but my manager said she needs that craziness every now and then, so she prefers to let them snooze for 30 days. That is where I went to bat for Twitter (@maineventzombie) and stated if I need that insanity, I will just go and troll Tomi Lahren (whom I should have immediately tagged in my "If you are Generation X or younger and support the GOP, you are a sellout." tweet). Turns out, that is when you can get the religious on your side
The Religious: She's such a hypocrite.
Me: Actually, no.
This was a place to say that the religious one was not necessarily conservative by explaining the separate approach to it. Lahren uses personal freedom to justify the stuff that she did not agree with. My goal was to show I understood the religious, but why she may want to avoid calling herself conservative. She even acknowledged that the success of religious conservatism would be replacing god.
Of course, she is a millenial. I do not know if telling my mom to shun the GOP cunts (broad use of the noun, not about the GOP's broads) so that you can start a new with a conservative party instead of depending on the power-hungry. If Dad was not so fluid in his political acceptance, he would be a good teammate in this argument. Life is all about good teammates, like:
The 54th Real Tag Team Champions: ECW's Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) - 1/9/2000 to 2/26/2000
Credible and Storm were two guys that Paul Heyman wanted to keep looking strong until the right time came to elevate them to the main event. Essentially, this reign was to keep them in a holding pattern, so when it came to wrestlers not named Jerry Lynn, they were the top. And because of the attention they garnered, they would be in the main event picture anyhow...too the point that when the reign ended, the titles were diluted.
The 55th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's New Age Outlaws (2) - 2/26/00 to 2/27/00
ECW's belts were swapped twice in a matter of weeks with a couple of makeshift teams (Masato Tanaka and Tommy Dreamer; Raven and Mike Awesome). WCW's tag division fell off once the Russo Era began. The Outlaws were not as over as they once were, but they were the top team and represented the past of WWF best. It was just about time for the division to finally go to the future.
The 56th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Dudley Boyz (4) - 2/27/00 to 4/2/00
It ended in the Triple-Threat Tag Team Ladder Match at WrestleMania 2000 (16).
The 57th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian - 4/2/00 to 5/29/00
The 58th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Too Cool (Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) - 5/29/00 to 6/25/00
I really wanted to place the titles on KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark). They were the last memorable WCW team and Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor should not be a match for them. Unfortunately, Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo needed to get over faster than their talent's growth.
The 59th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian (2) - 6/25/00 to 9/24/00
During this reign, they successfully retained the titles in the first Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.
The 60th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Hardy Boyz (Matt and Jeff Hardy) - 9/24/00 to 10/22/00
The 61st Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Los Conquistadores/Edge and Christian (3)- 10/22/00 to 10/23/00
The 62nd Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Los Conquistadores/Matt and Jeff Hardy (2) - 10/23/00 to 11/6/00
The 63rd Real Tag Team Champions:
ECW's Full Blooded Italians (Tony Mamaluke and Little Guido Maritato) - 11/6/00 to 12/3/00
I had forgotten, or perhaps failed to remember, the reign of Right to Censor (Bull Buchanon and The Goodfather). This faction did not work because everyone in it (with the exception of Stevie Richards) felt like a retread. WCW's titles were being swapped on a weekly basis at this time. After the Impact Players disbanded, this was the only lengthy ECW title reign recorded.
The 64th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian (4) - 12/3/00 to 12/18/00
The ECW titles had their last title change (Danny Doring and Roadkill) before they became inactive.
The 65th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Rock and Undertaker - 12/18/00 to 12/19/00
This was part of another Edge and Christian angle that helped build up the main event scene (Kurt Angle being the guest referee in their only defense) and lasted a night, so no harm done to the legacy of the belts.
The 66th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian (5) - 12/19/00 to 1/21/01
The 67th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Dudley Boyz (5) - 1/21/01 to 3/5/01
The 68th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Hardy Boyz (3) - 3/5/01 to 3/19/01
The 69th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Edge and Christian (6) - 3/19/01
Edge and Christian's chicanery will always be forgiven for any short WWF reigns they played a part in. After stealing the Dudley Boyz title shot, it was determined that they needed to defend them the same night against the rightful number one contender.
The 70th Real Tag Team Champions:
WWF's Dudley Boyz (6) - 3/19/01 to 4/01/01
The 71st Real Tag Team Champions:
