The intern was later fired by BMW after declaring he drove a Dodge Stratus.
Huh. I didn't know Juan Manuel Marquez was a Packers fan.
Thanks to Bowling For Soup performing a live song during the telecast, that 100 still wasn't the worst part of the show.
Also, it's a shame Mika Koivuniemi didn't carry that 10 pin on his final shot -- a 300 defeating a 100 would have meant that one match had the highest televised score AND the lowest televised score at the same time.

@CardinalDevil: Kids are indeed walking disease carriers. Back in high school when I had just turned 18, I managed to get chicken pox from those little bastards since I worked at a bowling alley at the time, and was in charge of the ticket redemption counter from the game room. Chicken pox at 18 should just never, ever happen. That's just wrong.
@DJ_Mbengmeplease: NBA 2K11 is probably the best sports game I've played. Very fun once you get used to the controls and learn the fundamentals, but it is challenging. The AI is much more aggressive on defense than past years, so you can't just throw lazy passes and drive the lane at will anymore. It actually resembles real basketball finally. Plus the Jordan mode is beyond fucking awesome because it's Jordan and old-school teams.
Then again, I've never been a huge football gaming fan and my copy of Madden 11 has sat in its case for several months straight now.

@shady37: I'm glad I've never played sports with you, because you sound like a horrible teammate and someone who would make me hate playing the sport.
@twoeightnine: All this talk about Spree makes me want to see a photoshop of Latrell Sprewell choking Taylor Swift.
I accept that those figures represent terrible run support and would make it difficult for any pitcher to win. But not impossible. I have long believed that good pitchers find a way to win.
Yeah! If he was such a good pitcher, he would throw a shutout every game like Cy Young himself would have!! Oh, wait...

@norbizness: After his 9th sack, Cutler probably thought he was Spaulding Smails.
This nomination post is sadly lacking in the Whitlock-on-couch picture department. He would get my HoF vote just for that one thing alone, but the feuding, the strip club pictures, The Explanation (complete with a Jeff George cameo!), and the overwhelming dread that he might eat me at any time just pushed it over the top.
@Tulos_Mullet: We are all witnesses... to the fact that we're all incredibly fucked up.
@Rynocerous: The first 1000 fans at the next game get a free machete.
After reading the debates here about how "horrible" it is to do something like this because it isn't the child's decision, I argue this:
Imagine I was deaf and one day discovered that my parents could have given me some semblance of hearing (okay, I get it, it's not the same as actully hearing, but close enough) but CHOSE not to give me that surgery. I would be BEYOND pissed off that them, no matter how wonderful the deaf community and lifestyle is. Somethng as simple as being able to walk into any store and easily communicate with the people there to buy something would greatly improve the quality of my life. I would NEVER want my parents to deny me that opportunity simply because I couldn't make a decision when I was a toddler. If they want to teach me more than one method of communiation, that's fantastic. If I one day decide I would prefer to be fully deaf and have the CI removed, that's fine too. But don't deprive me of that opportunity!

@Milbury, Rolling the Dice: I thought for a minute it was Burgess Meredith coming out of the grave to reprise his role as The Penguin.
(Also, I should have just hit mute after hearing Charles Mingus in the intro -- that was the obvious high point of the video)

@shmendo: You don't like the Bee Gees? That's a Tragedy. I've Got to Get a Message to You that they're more than disco.
My favorite food to microwave is chili that has been sitting in the fridge for at least 24 hours. It's such a delightful surprise every time I do it. The peppers, chili powder, and meat (and tomato, depending on what kind of chili you make) morph into some kind of crazy unholy sludge that smells just awful and overpowering when you take it out of the fridge. However, once you toss that shit into the microwave for a couple minutes and melt a little cheese into it, it transforms into one of the most perfect food products imaginable. The smell alone is heavenly, but the texture and taste become ten times better than when the chili was fresh. I sometimes think about taking a fresh pot of chili and just refrigerating it until the next day, but then I cave and eat a bowl or two right then anyway.
@Jefferson Tardship: Andy wanted to challenge this comment, but ran out of timeouts about an hour ago.
@UpstateUnderdog: Hmm. I recognize that chin... Well, good to see Robert Z'Dar has found work again. #jamboroo
@racistmascot_inc: We all missed him.
