Guy Drops A "Deez Nuts" During Interview On People's Court

Just look at his grin as the interview begins. He's been planning this for months. Maybe even years.

And he was not to be denied. "I will continue to mention this 'D' character until I get the response I am after," he thinks to himself. "I will not be denied."

And then, when he finally gets his chance, he downplays the joke, ensuring that only those people paying close enough attention will notice, for those are the people he wants to marvel at his public television masterpiece.

I wonder if Tiger Woods feels 81 years old today after getting second billing behind a 81 year old guy who bowls a perfect game.

/Tiger needs more hookers and blow.

At my prime, my average was up close to 200, but I never got that elusive 300 game...just two 279 games in a 4-week span, both games left a solid 10 pin in the 8th frame.

/Tiger (and comeds) needs more hookers and blow and ambien and flapjacks from IHOP.

Seriously, its been a while. I miss Sussudio.

Don't worry Dare. Just like this guy, if you have to wait until you're 81 before you roll your first 300, I'm sure the satisfaction would be even greater. Never give up hope. Maybe you haven't even reached your prime yet

I got into 10 pin bowling with a buddy of mine in my early 20's (never in a league or anything, just for fun), but one night, I was in the zone and rolled a 224 (a mark in every frame, 7 strikes and 5 spares). I have broken 200 on a couple of other occasions, but mostly in the 170s or 180s otherwise.

/Today, I'd probably be lucky to break 150 (lol)

I have a goal of 800 miles on the bike this year.

my goal for the next 12 months is 1500KM (932 miles)

 

[Darkstone42]

That's almost twice as much as my one-year goal. I'm trying to do 500 miles in a year. 10 miles a week. The key, I find, is actually doing the running.

Congratulations on going a full year strong!

500 is a fantastic distance as well. I work from home and have more free time in the morning than most people so it is a little easier to do this. I did 13KM (just under 8 miles) today and am exhausted.

That's awesome, I joined a hockey league and recently stated playing indoor soccer again to get back in shape. Sometimes the exercise sucks but it feels good afterward.

Video games used to be so violent back then.

Video games used to be so violent back then.

They were also so much more difficult.

Have you ever gone back and tried to play an old game? The logic was so complicated.

Sorry if I mattola'd anyone with this, but I found this pretty freaking neat (not really OT, but fits the thread still):
