    Until the last sentence, I thought it must have been a Whip 'Em Out Wednesday.

    touche.

    Also; I had a person admitting to looking forward to dropping $65 per ticket to Reo Speedwagon in a couple weeks.

    Beej just kicked an elderly person out of her wheelchair and doesn't know why.

    Just today:
    - A 25-year-old who looked exactly like Larry the Cable Guy, down to the cutoff flannel shirt, trucker hat and goatee.
    - An massively overweight couple ordering two large-sized combos, plus a side salad, at Wendy's. The man went for the Frosty as his drink, and the rested against the ice tea machine ("It's so cold," he said. "It feels so good.") while he waited for his food.

    And I bet he wonders why his electric bill triples from April to October. At least he never has to turn the heat on ...

    I drove down a two-lane road behind someone who was reading the newspaper I had put out just hours before.

    Bill O'Reilly just announced a poll for his viewers asking them which news organization they trust the least. The choices were The New York Times, PBS, MSNBC and CNN.

    Heads will explode.

    For the "Did I just hear that" version of this thread:

    During a brief foray outside of "sports" writing, I did a piece on the...cultural significance/resonance of The Lord of The Rings. One piece of my reporting involved standing outside the theatre and doing exit interviews following a screening of the first film (Fellowship).

    A guy who weighed AT LEAST 350 pounds, 6-5, dressed in full leather, ZZ Top beard, headed for his Harley:

    Me: "Sir, can I ask you some questions?"

    Big John Stud stunt double: "Shoot."

    Me: "What do you like about The Lord of the Rings" (something to that affect)

    Dude: "Well... I just like elves and shit."
