    I just watched it while I was on vacation.
  • Guy
    You know TiVo could record it for you.
  • Jess
    Oh no, I don't want to see it every day. It needs to be a special treat.
  • Jess
    Ok, Mr. Science
  • Guy
    It's Mr. Physicist
  • Sudhi

  • Sara
    Does anyone else think she is getting fat?
  • Amy
    We should write the word 'diet' on it.
  • Guy
    He doesn't do research; he does search.
  • Amy
    You get matchy-matchy points.
  • Guy
    Do you want any elephant on rabbit action?
  • Angela
    I vote for elephant on rabbit action.
  • Amy
    No you should take the picture and label it 'elephant on rabbit action'.
  • Angela
    Guy! You need the rabbits!

    Wow! What is she wearing?

    Sucks to be you. You could have afforded a house.
  • Angela
    Or a down payment.

    Ok, Representative Foley.
  • Sara
    That show is so freakin' boring! You watch people sort through their stuff and put it on shelves.
  • Sara
    Why do you have two irons?

  • Jess
    What's turd poo?
  • Sara
    I don't know, but it's worse than poo...so don't rent it.
  • Erin
    Because it's turd poo.
  • Jess
    No, no, no. It's one word, or maybe it's hyphenated. (turd poo vs. turdpoo vs. turd-poo)
  • Amy
    I'm going to try to use it once a day!

    You said lesbian syphilis.
  • Angela
    No, I didn't. Well, maybe I did.
  • Jess
    Do boys get syphilis?
  • Jess
    She wouldn't write it down. She only writes it down if it makes me sounds like a perv. (Erin: And, Jess, for the record, I only write it down if it's FUNNY!!!)
  • Angela
    Maybe she's got it in for you.
  • Amy
    Jess is on a poopy thing tonight.

    It would've been better if she wore a manx with it.

  • Angela
    Well, I have a dog that would eat the turd, and then the circle of life is complete.
  • Jess
    Well, what's a male nurse with a man purse?
  • Erin
    That'd be a mursy murse.
  • Amy
    They must have the sparkly eye filter on him.
  • Jess
    I like him. I think he's kinda dopey. (Elliot Yamin)

    I saw the kickest ass skirt the other day.
  • Sara
    She doesn't even know what half of these words mean. (Kelly Pickler)
  • Jess

    See! Sparkly eye filter!
  • Jess
    No, they look more round or something.
  • Sara
    She's wearing body glitter.
  • Erin

  • Sara
    He's a douche bag.
  • Christine
    Ew! You just rammed your butt into my foot.
  • Sara
    He's got the Sally Jesse Raphael glasses on. Those glasses are between Elton John and Sally Jesse Raphael.
  • Sara
    Just because you got to church doesn't mean you can't swear.
  • Jess
    But it means you can't eat the anniversary pie. (It was a cookie pie.)
  • Jess
    It's like the poop alarm!
  • Guy
    There's poop on the floor.
  • Guy
    I have a poo story. I cleaned up the poo in the yard from the winter. I had 4 Hillers bags full. Well, some of it might have been turd-shaped dirt...
  • Guy
    I'm trying to decide if I should celebrate a momentous event in my life on August 2nd. I will be 1 billion seconds old.

    She's a saucy minx.
  • Guy
    Did you just say saucy minx?
  • Sara
    No, mink.

    No more cream puffs for you, Luna.

  • Jennie
    Wow! This is interesting conversation tonight: smarminess and sagginess.
  • Megan
    He said 'He has feeling and it's coming from his soul.' Is that a nice way of saying he has personality?

    Do not try me gel box. You do not want to mess with me. (what Jack Bauer from '24' would say if he were working in a lab)

  • Steve
    He's tapping it.

    Hey, I was getting all of my stuff stolen!

    Too bad we don't have TiVo--we could just rewind to see the part that she sucked at.
  • Guy
    Second place!! For the 'sucker'. I mean, I could skate better than that.
  • Megan
    I'd like to see that.
  • Amy
    Let's go down an ice tube head first. (Who thinks the Skeleton in the Olympics is a good idea?!)

  • Amy
    It's like Pepto Bismol on ice.
  • Angela
    Why are there so many damn Italians here?
  • Amy
    And then the Italians showed up. (making fun of the commentators--apparently they are unaware that the Olympics are IN Italy!)
  • Megan
    We've heard about this shroud for years, and now we don't know where it's from. (on the controversy of Turin vs Torino...which is correct?)(Guy Notes; a detailed analysis can be found on this blog

    I didn't think the luge is the #1 reason for death in this country.
  • Angela
    Oh, he's dead--was he a luger?
  • Guy
    Germans rock at sliding down ice tubes. (women's bobsled)
  • Angela
    Having her be a note taker has created a monster. (Erin Notes: maybe this should be the next poll, Guy...)
  • Erin
    Don't you think if you were going to the Olympics that you'd put in clean shoelaces? (when one of the ice skaters didn't have her skates covered and you could see her dirty laces)(Guy Notes: New laces are stretchy and can thus loosen up mid-performance.)

    It's the boring Laffy Taffy.
  • Jess
    Oh! I found it!
  • Guy
    Last time I was told Gracie was not a friend. (about putting Jennie's roommate's cat on the website)
