See, Atticus, an historic raising arizona reference.

And better than any of the bowling ones.

Keep toughing it out with your rehab. It will get better. Even if it doesn't get back to how it was before, it will be stronger and work better.

I don't know if it is "better," I just know I enjoy it more.

When I watch Raizing Arizona, I may not want to quote it but I laugh myself silly. Lebowski doesn't make me laugh that much. For me much laughter is better than board lore and inside jokes.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Atticus*. There are NO R.A. inspired Hank avatars, and there is a Lebowski one**.

*how i knew my first boutique firm was about to die- senior partner 1 said in a firm meeting "I'm afraid i have to agree with senior partner 2." like, dude, youze guys run the place together- "afraid you have to agree?"

**although, an argument could be made that it is actually a Paigow avatar and not based directly on the movie.

What is a typical workout? Sex on the piano bench?

All the old people I know who forward stupid chain emails love The Chin. "Jay Walking" in particular. It reassures them that they are smarter than the next generation even though they can barely forward an email.

How you get advertisers to buy into that demographic is beyond me, but somehow he does it.

Apparently he is very popular in Minnesota but I always liked Letterman. I'd rather watch Law and Order: Traffic Court at 9 pm (central) than Leno.

The first one is for a 9th birthday. Hope the kid liked gross things.

Maybe this was for a party at an exterminator:

I can't imagine the occasion that prompted this cake:

Ingrained viewing habits?

America is even stupider than you already thought?

In truth, they are both unwatchable.

I was exaggerating somewhat. I was trying to make the point that some people can do short bursts of intense activity but can't deal with longer exertion and others like me can go for a long time but can't handle intense exertion.
