1a. Mystery Science Theater 3000

I would like to know Barry's favorite team so we can go digging for something untoward about that person.

I admit it. I chuckled.

I've always had a soft spot for the Iowa State Cyclones. Maybe it's because their fan base isn't particularly large, or the fact that they play second fiddle to the cross-state Hawkeyes, or that they are usually eighth fiddle in the Big 12.

I guess that Iowa State does kind of look like USC. I always thought Kansas City Chiefs. Maybe it's a Midwest thing.

Dick jokes are the elixir, sir. We need your subtlety.

Browns vs. Bills or Texas vs. Iowa State? I'm always fond of the potential upset in college football, but the Browns make a rare prime time appearance tonight.

Pork shanks could hurt, but at least they are edible.

I posted my previous response before I saw yours — we do agree on First Blood. That's not really a "Rambo" movie per se, even though it's the same character.

Um, that's exactly what I said, James.

I find it ironic that you're an Astros fan and used the phrase "broad brush paintjob".

Yeah, I don't count the first one as a Rambo movie. It's actually similar to a 70s movie as the character study of a haunted Vietnam veteran. As Joseph Finn noted, the 70s were a good time for movies. I will add that the 70s were also good for baseball, sometimes good for music, and horrible for everything else.

The Rambo movies were completely ludicrous and awful.

The Banana Splits came close to this sport more than 40 years ago.

Yes. Yes, I do.

I'd rather watch lawnmower racing. No really, that's a sport. King of the Hill did an episode on it years ago, but I can't find a YouTube link.

This is the most British map ever.

No, but we have 150 years of hindsight.

Welcome to most of the whole damn South. It ain't just Mississippi.

This is a reasoned and thoughtful response.
