  - Last night was terrible with the chills. My arm is less sore this time but my body feels like crap and this headache won't go away. :-( -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 06:12 3

    - S5 has been my least favorite even though I think there were some great acting performances. (minor spoilers) - ralph wiggum Apr 28, 22:56 3

  - MA 2014 Senate votes: Ed Markey 1.3M, Brian Herr .791M. 2020: Ed Markey 2.4M, Kevin O'Connor 1.2M -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 04:43 1
    - Cory Booker went from 1M to 2.5M. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 04:45
- This is paranoid stuff. The higher vote total is easily explained by it being a presidential year. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 04:35 2
  - also the blank ballots thing is arguing from incredulity. Yes, lots of people could specifically vote for Graham but not Trump. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 04:37 1
    - Yeah, amateur hour clickbait -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 04:40
I thought it was a nice speech. -- nm - crash davis Apr 28, 20:34 1

    - Yeah, like “oh no the my pillow guy thinks I’m a coward! Guess my show’s over.” -- nm - mafic Apr 28, 21:26
    - Letting an insane person act insane in front of millions of people can work, too. - David Apr 28, 20:48 6
      - I don’t think any of those people are watching Kimmel and if they are they’re going to think Kimmel treated him unfairly and Lindell made Kimmel look. - pmb Apr 28, 20:51 1
        
        It's the "wrestle with a pig" aphorism. -- nm - TWuG Apr 28, 20:57
      - Jimmy Kimmel ain't who you get to bodyslam these people in front of millions. -- nm - TWuG Apr 28, 20:50 3
        
        he's been very vocal against trump and his loonies -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 04:35 1
        
        I don't think anyone's suggesting he was going to be friendly. It's whether he'll do more harm than good. - Reagen Apr 29, 04:38
        
        We'll find out soon. -- nm - David Apr 28, 21:05

  - They should pay for it. That'd make a lot of money on Netflix. -- nm - David Apr 28, 20:29
- That still doesn't help explain why I can't watch Ed anywhere. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 28, 19:45 2

  - When pressed, he admitted he wasn't sure the show had ever actually been real. -- nm - Mop Apr 28, 19:36
Holy shit, I really REALLY hope that guy wasn't flashing a white power symbol. But this is why we can't have nice things. - Mop Apr 28, 19:28 12
- Dude, he flashed 1 finger after his first win. 2 after his second, and 3 after his 3rd. -- nm - CQ Apr 28, 19:31 11
  - In the absence of other evidence, I’ll believe him, but he did do his 3 in almost the weirdest possible way. -- nm - mafic Apr 28, 22:31
  - Yeah, no way a Jeopardy contestant would be smart enough to set up a convenient excuse in the event the opportunity arose - TWuG Apr 28, 19:42 3
    - I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. -- nm - CQ Apr 28, 19:44 2
      - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 04:36
      - Yeah. This seems like a reach -- nm - Krusty Apr 28, 20:13
  - It was all a ploy to win 3 times so he could flash his 3-percenter sign! - Mop Apr 28, 19:34 1
    - his 4 was going to be an NWO sign! -- nm - Beaker Apr 29, 06:19
  - Then he wagered 5k on a double jeopardy question on explorers and got it wrong. Easy question too -- nm - CQ Apr 28, 19:32 3
    - "I'll take 'Hitler Did Nothing Wrong' for $600." "The, uh, category is Potent Potables." -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 19:34 2
      - My favourite Jennings bit is that he doesn’t know anything about booze, and had to learn it just for Jeopardy. Had his wife quiz him apparently. -- nm - mafic Apr 28, 22:33
      - I banged your mom, Trebek -- nm - Sean Apr 28, 19:36
I want to try footgolf -- nm - znufrii Apr 28, 19:13 3
