    There was a shot of him coming down on our broadcast, too.....so lifeless. I wasn't sure what to think, so this makes sense. Wonder if it's a new guy in there and couldn't take the height.

    There was some hockey mascot who caught on fire and started melting the ice. That was funny.

    When you are rapelled 100 feet high in Denver, the air is the same as 5380 feet high on Mt. St. Hellens. That's why they call it rapel.

    I love to type that word.

    I was so distracted by whether rapelled has 2 Ls that I put 2 Ls into Helens.

    Anyway, it's funny if he wasn't hurt, and not funny if he had a heart attack or something.

    There. My always-decisive answer. It depends.

    Daaamn. I did not expect that to happen at mid court.

    I bet the bear will be in hibernation until he finds a new job, though.

    Yeah, now that you say that, I dont' think I've ever seen an arena allow anti-home team signs in a game before. It was probably the "Hey come find me, I'm the guy with the sign."

    Last night at the bar in my furry bear suit, I kicked a lot of biker ass.

    If it were a family member would it be funny? That's the test question...
