- Blues Clues -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 12:41
- I thought he watched every tv show and movie. -- nm - pmb Feb 10, 12:40 1

        You're lucky she is before she found about your flaws in operating system. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 12:49 1

        Yul would be fantastic, since you mention it. But, yeah, I don't think there's a chance in hell he'd do it. - Jim Feb 10, 12:48 2
        
        Stephenie wouldn't do it since she's already a baseball wife who is apart from him a lot, I would think. -- nm - David Feb 10, 12:53 1
        
        Who's her hubby? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 12:54
NCIS speculative spoilers - Beryllium Feb 10, 12:33
"faaaaaaaaaat" is the funniest Chevy Chase has been in decades. -- nm - Reagen Feb 10, 12:30 4
- also, it was really bold. The audience could have come away from that ep really hating Chase, but he turned it around. -- nm - Max Feb 10, 12:31 2
  - Well, he's already the joke of the show....but they did a fantastic job of keeping him sharp. - Will Hunting Feb 10, 12:41
  - Between that and his stint as marijuana, yeah. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 12:33

      - even Booter wouldn't do that. [nm] - Mel Profit Feb 10, 12:41 2
        
        she's ruined some beautiful gowns that way. -- nm - Diva Feb 10, 12:43 1
        
        to be fair falling down hills ruined the dresses long before there was pee involved. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 12:45
