PM Roundup: Campaign Nostaligia

Remember everyone in America is due a free taco after Jason Bartlett’s stolen base in the 5th inning last night. America is also looking at a free Dr. Pepper when Chinese Democracy is released next month. So, uh, yeah. Look, its Scarlett!

i wasn’t aware billy donovan was a phillies fan?
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:37 pm
So I click on a link that says “world’s hottest WAG” and I see one picture of a fully clothed woman. You should be ashamed.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Scarlett looks like she has a gut in that pic.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 pm
I hope Scarlett only drinks one cup of java a day. And I hope so to, for sportsgal and guinessgirl.

So Intern Bill is now solving crimes?

Esquire link = /fixed

That is not a good dress for Scarlett

Chicachica ssslimshady…hotter than a set of twin babies (and I don’t mean boobies…ok yes I do)

October 23rd, 2008 at 3:48 pm
anyone who didn’t read the article want to guess how old slim shady is?
i was surprised to hear his age.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:49 pm
maybe that has been my secret all along. “Honey, keep bringing home that free LB a week!”
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:49 pm
benji, guessing here, i say about 34?
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:51 pm
36 sparty. i would’ve thought 30 or so. i guess it makes sense as he didn’t “break out” til he was much older than most rappers.

Well done, CRM. I was confused about the hubbub over a picture of an old guy and a cane.

October 23rd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I can’t believe SI.com would do JoePa like that. He’s wearing a cane! they should crop it out! Wah! Wah! Wah!
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Guess you didn’t read to the end of the article. They stated that too much coffee gives you man boobs.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
I remember when just about every skinny white dude in Michigan was bleaching their hair blonde and wearing just jeans and a white t-shirt.

I know I’ll sound like Maggs when I say this, but that intern crime-solver story is kind of lame. All she did was send fingerprints to the FBI that had no match 36 years earlier and they came back with a match this time. She sent an email basically.
Eh.

Sparty – what about shaking 2-Liters of Faygo Redpop and wearing clown makeup?
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:57 pm
no nearly enough CAPS and STFU’s.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
I read all the comments on the JoePa thing, and I still don’t get why it matters that he used a photo with JoePa using a cane. What the fuck difference does it make? The guy’s old and needs a cane, how does it matter? The post was in regard to the PSU game, thus the photo. Of course, I can’t stand JoePa, but that’s just me.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:58 pm
i hated ICP. but, mmmmmm Redpop.
October 23rd, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Scarlett. Just what we need affter that Texas Tech cheerleader post.

My roommates saw 2 Live Crew open for ICP a few years ago. They left once 2 Live Crew finished their set because they were scared.

It doesn’t. Some folks like to get riled up just for the sake of getting riled up. The KC Star used a Paterno With Cane picture yesterday as well. Sometimes, older people need canes. Shocking, I know.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:03 pm
My roommates saw 2 Live Crew open for ICP a few years ago. We haven’t seen them since.
/fixed
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Ahhh, 2 Live Crew. They were freaking horrible.
/listened to them all the time back in the day.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 pm
We’ve got the DVD with all the 2 Live Crew videos on it. So offensive. Great to put on when we have people over.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Spot on KC. Spot on.
And I’m gonna throw out a biscuits to Scarlett. I love the biscuits no matter what. I’ll pay you royalties later, irish.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:08 pm
“They left because they were scared”
Were they some bitches Luke was slapping in the face with his cock?

Would like to buy said dvd from you
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
cool_rick – You should be able to find it at Best Buy or FYE. I don’t remember which one we bought it at.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I drink a few cups of coffee a day every day..trust me, no shrinkage here. Been the same size since high school..
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:12 pm
guinnessgirl, prove it.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
prove it. slow cap accompanied by arm raising

Let’s just say that the fourth letter of the alphabet works..

C’s? I’m impressed.

October 23rd, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Well played. Well played indeed.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I should have clarified the 3 acceptible methods of proof. They are as follows:
1. Front pics
2. Side pics
3. Front and side pics

OK, I’m just going to put this out there, knowing that I’ll get s*** for it.
Scarlett=not that hot. Nice enough face, good body, would hit that in a heartbeat (wife allowing). But hot? Feel free to prove me wrong with a dozen NSFW image links.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
broseph – I think it’s cool that you’re the butch in the relationship.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
broseph: youre too kind. Nice enough face? Ive seen pics where she looks downright mentaly retarded.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
yea…im going to have to second that…you’re crazy, broseph.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Clearly broseph was kidding. It’s along the same lines as when people say that Michael Jordan was overrated. It’s just to get a rise out of us. You can even change around broseph’s words a bit to fit the MJ “argument”…
Michael Jordan=not that good at basketball. Nice enough jumper, good defense, would hit that in a heartbeat (wife allowing). But the best of all time? Feel free to prove me wrong with a dozen youtube links of him dominating in the playoffs.
See? He was kidding.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:51 pm
I’m a bear, I’m not ashamed.
October 23rd, 2008 at 4:54 pm
Maybe I’m Newman: I need a REALLY pretty face.
