- every car is the same? - TFox Mar 30, 13:34 8
  - i mean, when you go to the dealer you pretty much know which kind of car, what would make you say, f this POS -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 30, 13:36 3
    - you don't, though. do you want a hyundai, a honda, a kia, a toyota? a nissan a mazda? every make and model are different. - iceberg jones Mar 30, 13:40

Skip Bayless: "Tim Tebow is the most unfairly, over-criticized quarterback in the history of this league.� Donovan McNabb: "Negative -- I am" - stewie Mar 30, 13:06 10
- I'll agree with Donovan. The guy went to like 4 NFC title games with not much more offensively than him and becuase they didn't win, he gets slagged. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 13:08 1
  - I can agree that Tebow is not over-criticized because he's not good - stewie Mar 30, 13:26

        i thought i might go tonight because i'm already in a bad mood, so if they act like dicks, i can easily be like "eff the eff off, sugarplum" - TFox Mar 30, 13:13
        
        "Sorry, honey. I don't give out my phone number." -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 30, 13:11
        
        You don't have to! - spamlet Mar 30, 13:11
      - Yeah, by 30 seconds they have already sized you up. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 30, 13:08

        Size doesn't matter. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 30, 13:16
        
        I dont think it has a booster seat option, sorry. -- nm - tRu Pad Mar 30, 13:15 1

        I was all into her back on Community (the first place I saw her). -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Mar 30, 13:34
        
        *ding* -- nm - con_carne Mar 30, 13:23
        
        ditto that. -- nm - Jovian Mar 30, 13:16

  - I'm taking Kaley all day long, but if Bernadette is a 'consolation' prize, I'm a-okay with that. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 13:03 1
    - this -- nm - Jovian Mar 30, 13:04
  - I think it's the dork factor. -- nm - spamlet Mar 30, 13:02 1
    - and the boobs don't hurt either. -- nm - zork Mar 30, 13:04
