- well, that's the sport. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 20:56 2

      - I'm guessing you don't watch much skiing on tv (especially alpine) -- nm - Trish Feb 15, 21:04 1

      - Former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said back in 2007... - Dr.Vermin Feb 15, 21:08 1
        
        Maybe millions of people would *like* to be underwater. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 21:13

  - Does Canada get Collinsworth? -- nm - David Feb 15, 20:12 2
    - I'll trade you straight up for Rod Black. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 20:20 1
      - It was a question, not a threat, but I'm still tempted to make that deal. -- nm - David Feb 15, 21:11
  - I think one of them posted on B2 about Blades of Glory being a "great film." That's an actual quote: great. film. nm - Dignan Feb 15, 19:54 9

        I don't even know what conversation you think we're having. That's how far you are off the reservation. -- nm - David Feb 15, 20:10
      - If he shows up because you said that I'll make sure Dano is at every Braves game next year. -- nm - Inigo Feb 15, 20:07 3
        
        Even Dano cannot counteract the majestic grace of the SayHey Kid. -- nm - David Feb 15, 20:09 2
        
        The Orioles lost almost 100 games, and Wieters ended being pretty good. -- nm - Inigo Feb 15, 20:17 1

Jimbo the Hooters manager cannot be real - hot dish Feb 15, 19:43 8
- But then I remember that he's doing this in front of a camera crew. The preview was enough for me to bail on the show as fake. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 15, 19:49 7
  - What possible reason would Hooters have to participate in something that fakes that? -- nm - Ender Feb 15, 19:59 4
    - Because men are pigs of course! -- nm - a shrew Feb 15, 20:08 3
      - Well, that's true of course but what does that have to do with Hooters? -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 15, 20:20 2
        
        their *logo* is a pair of tits. how can that dude be surprised that some people would not want to patronize such a company? -- nm - hot dish Feb 15, 20:22 1
        
        Yeah, during that bit I wanted to shake him and say "No shit you moron." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 15, 20:46
  - right. usually you try and look less like an ass when the cameras are on -- nm - hot dish Feb 15, 19:51 1

  - and this one goes out to everyone who's ever been in love -- nm - mara Feb 15, 19:43 6
    - nice ... this one's going to make me chuckle on and off for a while -- nm - JenBro Feb 15, 19:47 5
