Looks more like a pinch-faced basset hound than a goat. Except for the feet.

Poor Nashville. And on Thursday you have to play the Canucks! (Snort! It's in the bag for the Preds, I'd say.)

I understand some women just do not have the localized nerve bundles to qualify as such a spot.

Many of the revelers down in N'awlins try to look sultry, but turn out plain skanky...

A tribute to Don Knotts, but the interesting bit involves the last few sentences, describing how The Andy Griffith Show would have to go today to get on the air.

We'll be at the game Thursday but I don't plan on catching any of the gay music on the Row. The artists are open-minded about that stuff but the people who live here are not. This is the buckle of the Bible belt.

Nice tribute to Don Knotts, and he will always be best known as Barney Fife, but to me he will ALWAYS be Luther, the reporter in "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken". Atta boy, Luther!

The typical drunken pollack response would be "The good Lord is sending me ice; I ought stop drinking my booze neat." I'm not sure the show with this guy.
