• Verizon stock takes hit on $50 billion lawsuit
  You get three guesses as to the nature of the lawsuit, and I’ll give you a hint: It rhymes with “mire-crapping.”
• Giant Smurf Arrested After Unsmurflike Behaviour

• Self-Defense By Bas Rutten -via YouTube
  You know what Bas? I never underestimate a kick to the groin. BANG! (Flood, please watch this guy.)
• Premature Address to the Nation
