You got it, exactly! She slowed down the tempo and sucked all the energy out of it. But the worst part is that she made it twangy! Is that a fucking banjo?

“What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
Put him in charge of a super tanker
Early in the morning!”

The only thing preventing Jimbob Ghostkeeper from winning this thing is that he is, disappointingly, a forward, not a goaltender.

When he used to go by the nickname “Neon Deion” I figured it was because he was full of hot air. But it was a poor choice as he’s neither bright nor noble.

Pulled up GIMP and used the color picker tool on the top image. Definitely yellow, though the part in shadow was verging into green.

The only part about this that’s surprising is that this is considered news. Well before the start of season 2 the guys were talking openly about not continuing past season 3. Clarkson and May in particular seemed to be getting a bit tired of all the travel (I’m ages with them and can’t blame them). I can only assume…

So 55 years ago, the president reused the car his predecessor was assassinated in. Today’s presidential cohorts can’t live with the last guys’ desk or doors. I’m going to remember this the next time my Republican co-workers whine about Democrats wasting money.

Evidently we’ve reached a point where the people who know of Anne Frank as “a teenage girl who died in a death camp after hiding in an attic from the Nazis” have been totally outnumbered by people who think of Anne Frank as “a woman with some sort of motivational story”. In other words, those who don’t learn history…

You have to follow the thread, or you’re in for a let down.

“...and other duties, as required.”

I wish Warren Buffett or Bill Gates would hand whatever money is left on NBC’s contract back to them and say, “You don’t get to broadcast the Olympics again. Ever.”

3. What’s the point of having a politician on a show anyway if all they will answer is softball questions they have canned answers for? Maybe if journalists did some actual insightful analysis — the kind comedians have been doing for the last decade or two — the politicians would ask to come on to give their side of…

Can someone explain to me what was happening with the Canadian line changes in the 3rd period and overtime? It seems that every time the Canadians got to the American blue line, they’d dump it in for a line change or a single Canadian would get mugged by two or three Americans while the rest swapped out. There was…

They should treat overtime like a variant of the NHL: if the gold medal game goes to overtime, both teams should get the bronze for the regulation time win and then play for the second medal.

Canadian-American here. This is the best day ever, and I’m terribly depressed. My team beat the best team in the world/lost to arguably the best team in the world due to/in spite of good solid play and in spite of/due to some questionable officiating. You earned your gold medal and should not be ashamed of your silver…

Her reaction is my favorite thing about this Olympics. I’ve watched it several times now. It’s such a human reaction by someone who exceeded their potential by a wide margin. The best part is when she looks at the score a second time and leans forward a little, as if she wasn’t believing she was seeing it clearly.

And if you can fight about your hobby/passtime, it automatically elevates it to a sport (see hockey, soccer).

He couldn’t stick to the plan. He was broke, and had no intention of sticking to the plan. I did a quick check on the Chili’s web site. Their cards don’t expire. He agreed to a date knowing he couldn’t pay. He always intended to change the venue.

Great, now I have a weird mental image of James Buchanan wearing shades and a track suit.
