Sorry to hear that.

Also, in case you didn't get the reference:


After successfully kicking a 42-yard field goal in the first half of a game against the New York Giants on December 21, 2001, Gramática jumped up in celebration and tore his ACL upon landing. He missed the rest of the season.

Under the island
Middle of the mountain
There is a big bad boomin' system
Blowing speakers
Woofers and tweeters
Amplifiers
Melted wires
The party's exploded
The core is corroded
Underground, the Puget Sound
Causin' a shiftin' and a driftin'
Big black boom box stuck in the hot rock
It's in there flowin'
It's in there growin'
You don't believe me
That this scenery could be a...COLD BLOODED KILLER!

It's gonna blow, oo whoa whoa whoa
VOLCANO
It's gonna blow, oo whoa whoa whoa
VOLCANO

Now the island is shiftin'
Plates are driftin'
The core is creamy
Docile and dreamy
Stopped up and steamy
Happy campers poop in their pampers
When the mountain becomes a fountain
Of white-hot lava
Molten magma
Supersonic
Plate tectonic
Stereophonic
Lava and tonic
The boom is bionic
Sony shutdown
Magnavox meltdown
Ballistic breakdown
Hi-fi heatwave
Lo-fi lava cave
That sulfur smells
Mount St. Helens
Pompeii was yelling

It's gonna blow, oo whoa whoa whoa

"Jugs" is OK when referring to a large container of liquid. It's not OK when referring to breasts.

"Tits" is fine for plenty of things, but I really dislike it when it's used to refer to breasts.

"Paki" is horrible all around, as well as "towelhead." The N word causes me to shit on white people who use it. Black people who use it...I just feel sorry for them.

My neighbor used the expression yesterday "at least they're white people." Then he asked if he could borrow money. Fuck that guy.

"choad"

Courtesy of Urban Dictionary:



choad

Choad, also spelt chode (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chode), is a variant of the word choda (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=choda) (penis) which comes from the Hindi word (chodna). Chodna (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Chodna) simply means to fuck (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fuck). The word choad however is what is known as a neologism (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=neologism). This is a word that is newly acknowledged but has not been in circulation long enough or widely enough for its social status to be determined. As it stands, the word choad has three major definitions.

1) A short, fat penis (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=penis) that is wider than it is longer
2) The area between the scrotum (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scrotum)/vagina (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vagina) and the anus (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=anus).
3) A derogatory term used to insult somebody.

1) Ducas has a fat choad.
2) Last night your mom tongued my choad.
3) Quit being such a choad.

Same exact (anything)--redundant--the SAME inherently means EXACT in that sentence
Exact same: See above

each and every (anything) if I say I do something every day, doesn't that mean I do it each day? A sports radio talking head redundancy. Anyone saying that must be killed.

"Go for it!": An excuse for a mercy killing.

"Alrighty then"--please gourd, let me forget Ace Ventura before I kill again.

"The next level"--Tony Kornheiser made wonderful fun of this phrase when he had his radio show--can't you just say "In the NBA" or "In the NFL"--again, it makes guys like Tim Legler sound smart. And speaking of Tim Legler--does that guy look like he would be as much fun and Moxie's Anal Rooter or what? He makes George Will seem like Ozzie Osbourne.

You were married, had the boy, divorced, dating some asian girl, then dating some 60 year old lady who wanted vodka crans and sex all the time, then back with the asian girl, then dating someone from crew 2's ex-wife until she tried to force feed you m&m's.


Exactly the way it happened.

Beats "Your ass is grass and I'm the leafblower", that's for sure.
