I would've swore that it has happened more than twice, but it's definitely rare now.

No, he was gone for a little while. Sure, he was still around because Cartman drank his ashes thinking it was a hot chocolate mix, but he didn't appear for a while. They had that whole season where Butters and then Tweak took his place as the 4th friend.

I saw a beggar wearing a pirate hat near my office one time. I was disappointed that the guy didn't go the whole 9 yards, saying arrrrr all the time and stealing from other beggars. Still, a pirate beggar was pretty cool. I've never seen a ninja beggar though. I'd have to imagine that a ninja beggar would be stealthy and near impossible to spot.

If there was a tunnel through the center of the earth all the way to the other side of the planet, what would happen if you dropped something in it? Would it slingshot back and forth for a little while until it eventually came to rest, hovering at the center of the earth?

Yeah, I know. But a first term president choosing not to run for re-election in the middle of election season isn't exactly a normal circumstance.

And then do the ear waving thing to the hostages as they cheer while being rescued? "Whatca gonne do General Juma..."

We appreciate good football? Well then why have the Bills been able to sell any tickets over the last decade?

I've never seen the point of the whole "that could never happen" thought to this show. We're talking about a world where two nukes have gone off on American soil, where a president hasn't actually completed a term in at least 12 years (Palmer, Keeler, Logan, Palmer). The realm of reality has been stretched well beyond the breaking point a long time ago.

Well, it looks like I was on the right track with this one. And now Renee knows that Jack is in fact human. I really hope they don't end up pushing for a happy ending to the series with her and Jack. Sure, Jack probably deserves something, but it should never happen with everything he has gone through. Whenever this series ends, Jack needs to be seen as a tragic figure, whether he's alive or dead. The episode where Mason died is still my favorite one of the whole series. I almost want to break out the dvd right now just to watch that one hour.

George Mason's death was better.

It all depends on whether or not Tellqvist has a two way contract. If he doesn't, they'd be paying him the same amount regardless of where he's playing (unless claimed off waivers).

They'd typically have a 3rd goalie up with the team for the playoffs anyway. By the time Miller is back, we may be talking about 5 or so games. There's no harm in keep Tellqvist around at that point. Also, if he was solid enough to go for a 4th round draft pick, he could easily be claimed, especially if any potential playoff team has a depth situation similar to ours.

Carla Gugino's busy this month.

I don't think that will happen. There is no roster limit now, so they probably wouldn't risk waivers on Tellqvist just in case Miller isn't completely healthy.

So why is being on a 5th team in 4 years a shot against Moore but it isn't for Guerin (Dallas, St. Louis, San Jose, Islanders, Pittsburgh)?

Maybe if they had positioned the picture so that you'd have to walk between her legs to get on the plane.

I'm just glad that for once there is no guarantee that John Connor will survive. Yeah, of course he will, but it's not vital to the story anymore.

Bill needs to live, at least long enough to pass along a message. It seemed like he reacted a bit when Juma metioned Hodges name on the phone call. Sure, any of the hostages could pass along the name at some point (except Aaron and the daughter), but Bill would make more sense.

It's also bringing us to the 12th hour of the season, so it's right about time for a turning point in this season.

I'll list it as a spoiler just in case, but in relation to an earlier discussion in here about John Voight:

Yeah, immediately after posting that, I realized that I did need photographic evidence before making that judgement. But still, he was willing to take on the "challenge", so there had to be some interest there.

Is is even possible to lose the bet he made? Oh no, I didn't even come close to the 12 hours. I guess we'll just have to try again tomorrow.

Because they don't always play 18 holes. The match stops once it becomes impossible for the losing golfer to tie it up. Would you just give all those remaining holes to the winner? Also, not every hole is won. What happens to the holes that are split? This scoring system paints a pretty clear picture of exactly how the match went.

I can't even imagine what it would take to win a match that quickly. Even the crappiest of pros should be able to half a few holes with a par. It had to have been one of Tiger's strongest rounds paired up with one of Ames worst. Even a fired up Tiger needs more than a little help to win that quickly.
