That's just... really sad.

That person obviously didn't think before he said that...

i always felt that way about wheel of fortune, especially during the era of pick-your-own-prizes -- i always wanted that porcelain dalmation statue from the spin-around living room.
my friends tried out, but i missed them b/c of course they were the day i just couldn't miss work. :(
however, i'd probably do something silly like choke at the last second and mistake 'salad' for 'stand'. poor person.

Is it the casting, the luck or the fact that traffic dumbs down everyone here?
Come and crash, man. That show deserves a splash of intelligence.

That's just about on par with "which is the largest: the moon, an elephant, a peanut or a kettle?"
The answer, of course, being the moon, but her answer being an elephant.
Looks like somebody should concentrate more on living in reality than before or after.

There's a funky chicken stand I used to go to by campus, so I can understand that part. I never heard of a stand sandwich though...

I'm sorry. That was just my abuse of the new policy.

Thought I'd try and squeeze a word in amidst Dem's rush of comments...
Dude. The couch is all ready for your big trip out here.
Oh - and Denver is totally gonna rock the Superbowl - regardless of any appearance to the contrary or naysayers.

So I have this "stupid things people said" calendar, which, not very surprisingly, is compiled mostly of George W. Bush quotes. Anyway, today's entry, which is actually relevant:
"Weakest Link" game show host Anne Robinson: What "Z" is used to describe a human who has returned from the dead?
Contestant: Unicorn?
We should both totally be on t.v.

I’d like to take the time to thank myself for preemptively cursing the Broncos and making it impossible for them to win the Super Bowl. I stood a good chance to make as much as $85 had they won the Super Bowl so I can see why I wanted to interfere with that. Now it’s Pittsburgh’s turn. I don’t see how anyone can beat them. They are too good on defense and have a respectable offense. Seattle doesn’t stand a chance. Besides, “Defending Super Bowl Champions Seattle Seahawks” just sounds awkward… Seattle knows how to do one thing well, and that’s come in second. Just look at the Sonics in the early 90’s. They were the Buffalo Bills of the NBA. Or the Mariners in the late 90’s. I think they won an extra 10 games or so for every all-star they lost, but that didn’t help them win the big game. Face it Seattle, you’re number 2. I know it isn’t going to be a good Super Bowl for casual fans, but I can’t wait for it… or the commercials.
Having said that, I can’t stand it when contestants buy 5 vowels in a row… wasted money… yeah, now this comment isn’t totally off topic. Way to tie it all together Onj… (buy the way, I was toying with the idea of hosting my own site, but Onj.com was already taken… so was shucknjive.com… looks like I might have to go the way of the .net too. I just hope it doesn’t kill my google ranking.

You know, jon, I was just thinking about how you not only jinxed the Broncos, but Steve Smith as well.

Did I ever! Check this out… One of the things I love about Big Ben is his decision making. The guy just plays smart. He doesn’t try to force a lot of stuff and he’s a decent runner, so if there’s nothing to throw to, he can always take off with the ball himself. He’s dangerous, and so is Hines Ward! Did you see that ricochet catch he had? Typical Hines. (what kind of a game do you think they’re going to have now?)
I don’t even have anything against Pittsburgh. In fact, I’ve still got a soft spot in my heart for Bettis, seeing as how my team originally drafted him. I’d like to see him win one. I really should be trying to hex the Seahawks. I mean, they’re in my division and they smacked us square in the mouth twice this past season and we just rolled over and took it… where are my priorities? More than anything, I’d just like to see a good game. This weekend wasn’t much fun for me because I don’t enjoy blow outs unless it’s my team doing the blowing out. Who else should I hex next? I’d go after Andy Roddick, but now it’s too late for that… and I can’t hex Federer because he’s a machine, not a man. That nonsense against Haas was just for drama. People like to say the name Tommy Haas, so they extended the match to allow them the full enjoyment of shouting out his name while all the machines slowly calculated his eventual defeat. I think it’s kind of cruel actually.
Hey, what was this post about?
