Ok - these are not as good as the Labatts ads (that aired in Canada, not here) from years past, but still the one where they leave the guy in the elevator makes me laugh.

these are better than the ones I see here (leaving aside real men of genius, which I like - esp mr. multicolored sweater man)

I saw a new one of those this weekend - mr. shopping cart wrangler.

Thanks, but I may not be needed since DTB is handling that whole "annoy TM" thing so well.

Were you mud wrestling other chicks this summer too?

"CBS will create a US version of Sack Race, which, unlike its title suggest, does not involve people racing to a finish line with their legs in potato sacks. Instead, it's a show "in which real-life employees compete to get the sack" -- e.g., fired."

This would be cool if there was a cash reward at the end for the person who accomplished the feat first. I'd do it.

No, but I was undefeated at the fountain at the Christian Science Center.

My corn would hit the floor before you could even get your hose off. If this is a challenge, you're on.

Finally, a competition at which I can excel.

This is why I don't give gifts to anyone. But myself. And my progeny. At least the ones I know of. And acknowledge paternity for.

One of the great smack-talk lines ever uttered on the playing field: "Hey, how's your wife and my kid?"
Trouble is, I can't remember who famously said it. Dang that memory.

There's a story about Shannon Sharpe talking smack. In 3d grade, there was a kid in his class that had trouble reading. So when it came his turn to read, he was having trouble with a word. The teacher asked "Michael, what does it sound like? What does it sound like?" Young Shannon called out: "It sounds like Michael can't read so good."

RP: The first five words of your slogan make the start of a great ad campaign. The end is rather unexpected, however. But it's still very catchy.

"The sheets stay neat with Crumb-away"
"The sheets stay neat with protective plastic"
"The sheets stay neat with Stain-off"

Something like that.
I knew I shoulda been in the ad game.

Lingerie Bowl? Not really my thing, but I might be persuaded to watch if they had male cheerleaders for me to ogle at. As long as none of them looked like John Blaysdow (or whatever his name is).

It's from Major League. My friend used to say it. I can't remember which character said it.

Haywood played by Peter Vuckovich (according to IMDB). I always remember Tom Berenger's character saying it to the Yankee slugger.

Shannon talks a good game. But the best stories I've heard all come from basketball.

Reggie Miller: In his rookie season he played against Michael and the Bulls and was talking much smack to Mike because he was outscoring him at the half. He went into the locker room full of confidence. In the second half Michael outscored him like 30 to 1 on his way to a 40-something point game. After being shut down and lit up by Mike, Mike said, "You got anything else to say?" Reggie replied, "No sir, Mr. Jordan, sir."

Jalen Rose: Known for his shit-talking in college and high school. He made Chris Webber cry on the court with his smack talk his senior year of high school, even though Webber had probably 60 pounds and a few inches on him.

Craig Ehlo: Although Ehlo has always been considered a very good defender, he is known for his basketball posters (in which he's getting dunked on by Mike). In the playoffs in the late 80s when Mike would single-handedly dismantle the Cavs, on one occasion, the Cavs decided not to double team Mike -- giving the defensive assignment to Ehlo by himself. When asked about it, Mike said, "If they don't double team me, I'll score 100." When told about the quote, Ehlo said, "That's ridiculous. I think I could hold him to 80."

Michael Jordan: Early in his career, he was playing Utah. They put puny Stockton on him and he turned around and dunked like he wasn't even there. Some fan got up and followed him downcourt screaming, "Hey Jordan! Pick on someone your own size!" The very next possession, he ran the floor and dunked over 7' Mel Turpin, hard. I'm talking hard -- he almost jumped completely over him. On the way back down to play defense, he found the guy and said (and it's on film), "Was he big enough?"

I'm playing pick-up b-ball in early college, when a mouthy high school kid comes on the court. He's good and fast, and as a kid too cocky for his own good. He on a break and I'm back. I yell "I got ball". The kid pulls up at the top of the key, disbelieving look in his eyes; shocked that I think I could guard him. He says "you ain't got shit" and starts to rise.

So what would you do? No question, complete body slam, right? I mean no way he makes this shot. I foul him worse than I've ever fouled anyone. But he still makes the shot; "In your eye".

I came back with my best face saving trash ever "Yeah, well we both got paid the same for our games last year*."

For a brief moment I thought I was back out of the hole, but then he hits me with "Maybe. But I ring the cash register more." I'm not sure what it meant, but I knew I had lost completely then.

*This is a come back I've used alot since then. Its only useful when you are willing to admit someone is better than you. With my game, that isn't as infrequent as you might think.
