Well... after reading John's link to Wikipedia's 'parody' entry, I got to thinking. While diverse in style, the examples (atleast mostly) all share one common thread - they're funny, atleast to their intended audiences. Something integral to a good parody is, of course, being funny.
Something I've often overlooked in my full stay here.
And as such, I've come to a decision. I've decided that I actually need to heed John and J's advice in order to fully enjoy BoB. I need to simplify things.
Another thing that helped me come to this realization was Matt Hardy's latest MySpace blog, which basically says that one should focus on those things which can lead one to a most pleasurable existence, and that a person's destiny lies within their hands. It sorta ties with how John and J told me, you either follow the rules, or get tah steppin'. I've decided that I CAN make the most of the rest of my e-fed career, by staying here in BoB, and trying my damndest to make Axl and Vi into succesful characters, no matter what their position on the card, no matter if they win or lose.
For once in my 7+ year career, it finally IS about having fun.
You may have noticed the "Evil-lution" post. I plan on making it the pre-cursor to my new ranting philosophy: "Complex Simplicity".
Stay tuned... - MB...
... ... ... Yeah, that might be enough of those.

Look dude, you keep talking about all this like it's difficult to be in a fucking parody fed. I am the worst handler in BOB's history, I dont pretend to be anything else and I have a blast playing glue sniffing retards who can't count (or is that me rather than the characters?).
Steve Studnuts pulls off his gimmick because he's funny whilst doing it. I even wrote a match where I jobbed my best character (in my opinion) Jerri Li to him like a fucking bitch, just because I think he's a great character and he makes me laugh. You do this 'King Axl' stuff and everybody just groans. Can't you possibly see why? Few people give you praise around here, but you can be funny... if you just stuck to one fucking character and weren't afraid to job. I get you want to be in the main event, or at least at a respected level on the card. That's something I've never wanted, and to be honest it's something you're never going to get here. Handle a God damn ice cream man with false teeth for Christ's sake if you want to enjoy being in BOB.
Whatever you do, stop talking about being in BOB and actually do it.

I thought that what I said was something I needed to say. All I was trying to say is that, actually, like you said, I don't care anymore if I'm on the main event or a curtain jerker, or if I win or lose. And that I'm going to try to have FUN for once. I guess I shouldn't have said it, and just done it. Sorry.
