Ah sad times. Around 12:15 AM of Sunday, August 17th 2003, I approved the termination of my first ever e-mail account. The Yahoo account, in which the username shall remain anonymous, has been with me for...hmm...I think 6 years. Most recently it was used for my eBay transactions while I have a separate one for my friends and online membership accounts.

Sigh...it shall be missed. I just couldnt stand seeing 60 spam e-mails appearing everyday in my Bulk folder and some even leaking through to my inbox. Also since Im now known as Moe or MoezTavern most everywhere online, the e-mail didnt suit me anymore.

It is kind of inhumane of how an account gets deleted. Ive approved of its termination however it will now sit awaiting its final execution in 90 days. In that time neither I nor anybody else can visit, and it will not receive any e-mails. So it will just sit and starve all lonely until Yahoo deletes it from their user registration database.

It also got me wondering how I'll feel when I change my SN....what if I get tired of MoezTavern...what if dangerous rapists get ahold of it and bother me everyday?! That will be a sad sad moment. But for now, MoezTavern lives on!

RaPt0r2157: holy crap chris
RaPt0r2157: you're getting weirder
RaPt0r2157: i didn't know that was even possible

If you know me, you know I hate change so when I heard that The Man Show was getting new hosts after all those successful seasons with Adam and Jimmy, I suspected the show would faulter a little. However I didn't expect it to get this bad.

I just saw the first episode of season 5 with new hosts Joe Rogan and Doug Stanhope with a pretty critical eye. The two new guys made it easy to not enjoy the episode as from the get-go they just started rapid firing prostitution jokes that were unfunny and sounded horribly rehearsed. Adam and Jimmy's characters bounced off one another and they looked comfortable as they showed off their manly philosophy. Joe and Doug just take perfectly choreographed turns looking straight at the camera and saying their lines.

Oh my goodness...they didn't even do the Man Show toast at the end of the show! Where are the Good Time Party Boys!? Where is the ziggy zoggy ziggy zoggy hoy hoy hoy?

Ridiculous.

The new "asscrack" game show segment and the segment about the Korean prostitute were only funny cause they were so stupid and annoyingly long. I can't blame the new hosts for that though, they didn't have much to work with.

Much of the new material was just plain disgusting.

Remember the set of the show being designed like a comfortable living room where Adam and Jimmy sat in recliners? Yeah no more of that. Season 5 has a new refurnished set that looks eerily like the one from The Weakest Link and Joe and Doug sit on stools.

The Juggies are still there, but only a couple are recognizable. And yes after the end of the show there are still girls jumping on trampolines. However the funny little shorts right before the commercials, such as those cartoons with fat Phil or "Man Show Miracles" are nowhere to be seen.

The producers promised that the show will stay "decidedly the same" but so far the new season has given us no sense of familiarity. Everything has changed. New set, new faster intro, stale comedy, the breaking of sacred Man Show toast tradition, and hosts that acted like nervous high school kids giving a speech.

Final Grade: D+
