So while my daughter is having some oral surgery to expose and bring down a tooth today, I'm sitting in the office watching Family Feud on the big screen — with the guy who played Peterman on Seinfeld hosting.
Peterman hosting Family Feud. Who'd have thought?
Alas, I digress.
The lightning round comes along, and the question is: Name a sport that requires a good stroke.
Yes, this raises lots of possibilities for Peterman humor, but I shall let that go. I'm sure you readers will take care of it anyway.
In my book, there's one and only one obvious choice for "top" answer.
Golf.
Tennis might be a distant second.
What does the woman guess who hit the button first?
Canoeing.
That's right, canoeing.
When that's wrong, what does the other woman guess?
Rowing a boat.
That's right, rowing a boat.
It's times like these when you realize how far our educational system has fallen.
Kirk Douglas-ing?
Sorry, that wasn't very nice.
Wishing your daughter good luck with that Pat. Getting anything done with your teeth is no fun at all.
The only guy I can think of who recently combined a sport and a good stroke is Tedy Bruschi.
Oh, and speaking of strokes in sports, why does your editor, who apparently also had a stroke himself, have Shelly Ocker covering the Cavs? OK, Ilgauskas is pretty darned awful, but is Jhonny Peralta going to be the new backup center?
Apparently you haven't read any of Terje's comments.
solomon, i'm going to send you one sock for christmas so you can wipe up after thinking of me.
hahaha…better make it a tube sock
A tube sock? You mean like the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Hey, how did they keep those tube socks on, anyway. Two-sided tape? Velcro?
Well I never really gave it a thought, but now that you mention it I will give it a try.
I need a shoe-horn
In my book, there's one and only one obvious choice for "top" answer.
The Breast Stroke.
Now everybody. Have you heard? If you're in the game, then stroke's the word.
I believe I saw on TV somewhere that Tiger Woods has a good stroke on and off the course.
BS loved your early videos, but that one where you roll around on the bed with pink sheets i still cant shake that ..did you go from a Hard Rocker to Hard Stroker after that?
Looking thru this book written by some guy named Kama Sutra lots of pictures of various sporting strokes…….and the #1 Answer IS?????????????????? still think Richard Dawson had to much fun kissing the ladies….just saying
Gotta love Braylon Edwards, it's a different excuse every week….
As soon as the game was over, Braylon had this to say on Twitter:
Note to self 'the lights in Rogers center arena are extremely bright' man I didn't see that first bomb."
Jet's coach Rex Ryan said "we are either going to have to put stickum on his facemask or he's going to have to catch that ball with his hands."
Rowing is indeed a sport which requires a good stroke. There's one member of each team on the vessel who assists by verbally yelling "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" to keep all the rowers in sync.
That's obviously what was in the woman's mind who said "Canoeing".
Golf scores are comprised of strokes, as in "Tiger Woods is 3 strokes behind the leader."
Breast stroke. Back stroke. Yes, indeed.
Now here's a stroke of logic: terminate Mangini's employment ASAP!
