From what I've seen of US sitcoms, your sense of humour has probably just been bludgeoned to death.

We like it good and simple here.....lol.  We can't even spell sofistucayshun.....so why should we have it in our comedy?

That said, your avatar pic of Mattswad is most amusing.

That's not Mattswad, that's me at a younger (much younger) age!

Buttmunchers.

OK, here is my long delayed response.

You all know how I feel about McGlynn's garbage...see the S&P post.

Terry LaBonte should just retire now or go drive for Bill Davis.  It showes what a piece of trash Dick Himlick is.  You win a championship for the guy in 2nd rate equipment, and all you ask is 10 races to go out on top in.  Hendick instead gives him a 5 year old former Bobby Gerhart ARCA car and a latemodel pit crew who have no clue how to set up a Cup car.  They ran like an uncle fugger last year and this year looks even worse.  Sad for Terry to be wasting his time like this.

The 21 car got (comparatively) no coverage for having a good run all race.  Did anyone see Inside Michael Waltrip, I mean Nextel Cup last night?  I'd love to see what he had to say about everything. 

55 had another amazing run.  I adore watching and hearing constantly about Michelle Waltrip manhandling that car and turing in steller performances week after week.  Every car without a 40 million dollar sponsorship package should really take note of how to luck into races and make absolutely nothing out of them.

What happened to Bobby LaBonte?  He was around the top 10 all night and on the next to last set of pitstops dropped all the way back to the last car on the lead lap, and got lapped a little while later.  I can't believe the informative Fox telecast didn't tell us what happened.

Doesn't say much, but apparently he brushed the wall and the car was never the same after that.
