Big News

Thoughts While Flossing

Uncle Elmo said he left the New Year's Eve party early -- right after he saw Elvis ride in on a pink reindeer.

There was some sloppy play in the bowl games. I've seen better tackling on Jerry Springer.

Gosh, who would have thought it? Another year gone by, and I'm still partially sane.

Hey, I'm such a veteran at breaking New Year's resolutions, I don't even feel guilty anymore.
