jimi.heffernan+blog@gmail.comI thought this was hilarious. Staged (I hope) interview with the Dell Dude from the late 90’s-early 00’s.
Anyone watched the 24 hour fitness commercial?
Where the guys get their butts kicked by a female Olympic volleyball player? THe whole damn thing is fine except the last line, which is “Best 7 out of 12?”
Now the guys are no match for this woman, so it probably wont come to this, but what happens if the score is 6-6? Is the match over? 12 games have been played.
Can no one at 24 hour fitness count?!?
I love our Running Back. He’s not a thinker, but he’s a good dude.
Overall, Nilsson hit .284/.356/.461 with 105 home runs and a 110 OPS+ in the major leagues.

I always signed this guy to be my catcher in All Star Baseball ‘98. I never realized the hulking Aussie was so good in real life.
At the age of 14, Comaneci became one of the stars of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal. During the team portion of the competition, her routine on the uneven bars was scored at a 10.0. It was the first time in modern Olympic gymnastics history that the score had ever been awarded. The scoreboards were not even equipped to display scores of 10.0—so Nadia’s perfect marks were reported on the boards as 1.00 instead.
More ‘76.
Japanese gymnast Shun Fujimoto performed on a broken right knee, and helped the Japanese team win the gold medal for the team championship. Fujimoto broke his leg on the floor exercise, and due to the closeness in the overall standings with the USSR, he hid the extent of the injury. With a broken knee, Fujimoto was able to complete his event on the rings, performing a perfect triple somersault dismount, maintaining perfect posture. He scored a 9.7 thus securing gold for Japan. Years later, when asked if he would do it again, he stated bluntly “No, I would not.
The 76 Olympics sound awesome.

Seems sortof neat. It’s funny that they seem to think the iPod Touch’s form factor is the “utopia” of mobile devices
Also, it’s hilarious that they decided they needed to make a statement and have the 4th video center around a gay couple.
