  - Presumedly playing the trumpet with one hand and singing on key is like walking and chewing gum. -- nm - Max Jan 20, 17:34 2
    - I love my man leaving the bongos to do the Snoopy dance. nm - Dignan Jan 20, 17:35 1
      - Let that be a powerful reminder to white folks: Don't cover the Jacksons or James Brown. nm - Dignan Jan 20, 17:38

- I'm gonna be a dick here and say I'm believe it when the guy cashes the check. -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 17:51
- I hope he gets it. There were a lot of reports that the charities he said he was going to give money to on The Apprentice never got it. -- nm - jnine Jan 20, 17:43
- Eh, he can afford it. - znufrii Jan 20, 17:31
- He's apparently done that for other individuals. So regardless of what his broader philanthropy actually looks like, he's Undercover Boss - Max Jan 20, 17:21 5
  - I feel bad ... -- (edited) - Beryllium Jan 20, 17:26 4
    - But whose account is the check actually from? -- nm - . Jan 20, 17:34 2

- I was bored during most of the remake. -- nm - Max Jan 20, 17:51
- Didn't NBC used to show Ben Hur every Easter? I vaguely remember this from my childhood, but I can't remember if it was a network decision ... - ReluctantCynic Jan 20, 17:12 6
  - Around here too. Now one or two of the oldies and/or Christian channels does it. -- nm - . Jan 20, 17:35

- I think it looks nice, but I completely agree with your IM. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 16:40
