    That Bear River Mutual jingle sounds like it was sung by whichever South Park creator always does the cheesy voices. Like, to a T.

    If these benches are all in the same park, I seriously hope they have some suicide counselors nearby handing out fistfuls of anti-depressants.

    One of the most devastating side effects of quadriplegia is the depression it causes.

    And wow, I want to go do something happy now.

    What a gift it was that despite his difficulties he could still smile. They say the eyes are the window to your soul... I'll throw in your smile too!

    @J. Henry Waugh: I hear that loud and clear. I was a grizzled hard-ass construction worker when I first met Chris. He was five years old and we became best friends right away. He and his mom, now my wife, had so much love and all I knew is I wanted in on it. We were together for twenty-two years and you wouldn't believe what an impact he had on my life. Thanks man, you've been hearted.

    I see no problem with tattoo training wheels. Why not?

    Pity they left out that feedthepig.org PSA about making your own coffee that gets run 6 times an hour on Time Warner Cable:

    Every time I hear that guy in the pig mask chortle "Arr--rrr--mooorrr---rd carr-rrr!" again, I feel fairly homicidal.

    What's so funny is I never, ever thought about Tiger until this shit hit the fan. I knew who he was but that's about it.,

    And I sure never saw any of his commercials for any product.

    @Richard Lawson: I thought the same thing. They also can't eat Tuna. Maybe having mercury babies is a Mormon thing. Perhaps they think it will prevent them from being gay or wanting to support gay marriage.
