This is from Letterman's show a couple nights ago. Some are hilarious.

Late Show Top Ten Cool Things About Pitching A Perfect Game


10. "After this, I can go 0-15 for the year and honestly not give a crap"

9. "My pre-game dinner at Denny's tonight? On the house!"

8. "Shows everyone that even though I'm 40, I can still...I'm sorry, I lost my train of thought"

7. "Cool to get congratulatory call from the President, even though he kept calling me "Larry"

6. "Can walk up to guys who've thrown no-hitters and whisper, "Loser"

5. "All the pine tar I can eat!"

4. "Your catcher hugs you and it feels kinda...nice"

3. "Maybe people will finally forget about the time I killed that bird"

2. "It's just one more thing about me that's perfect, am I right, ladies?"

1. "George Steinbrenner just offered me a billion dollars to sign with the yankees"

Yeah, you're right, my bad, I didn't really think it was funny now that you explained that to me.

the joke with steinbrenner is OLD TOO and so is the president joke too. The rest are average.

Does anyone know if he really eats at Denny's before a game? When I saw that I though it was ridiculous for a huge baseball star to eat at Denny's before he pitches, but figure there are probably weirder superstitions.

I am not sure. But the writers are seriously kind of weak. I really doubt Schilling eats at Denny's before a game. That's ridiculous. People would follow him and stuff. Never going to happen.

I could write a top 10 better than that.

Yeah, #6 here too. Good list. Letterman's humor is kind of hit or miss I guess, but I prefer him over Leno.

Deadeyes, did someone break that wood bat over your head or something, is that why you're looking for another one? Maybe yourwit is beyond us all, but I thought those were pretty funny. #6 was pretty funny too.

Actually, i found Deadeyes #6 to be nearly as funny as Letterman's #6, since Deadeyes clearly doesn't even have the correct pitcher mentioned.

deadeyes was considered a troll on the TSN boards last season, and that's saying something.

that's an insult to j.lewis.
jerry lewis was over-bearing but at least he had some sports knowledge and made a good point every now and then.

Whatever, people accused him of being PGunn all the time. Someone even referred to him as PGunn constantly.

JerryLewis was PGunn. He signed up for my TSN-Style Yahoo football league last year as "JerryLewis", but his Yahoo username had PGunn in it (with some numbers and such). Surely not a coincidence.

I meant that comparing j-lewis to deadeyes was an insult. pgunn and j-lewis are one and the same of course.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Deadeyes were PGunn aka JerryLewis. They are both obnoxious, whiny, insecure, egotistical and always begging for attention.

Jerry Lewis/PGunn was the funniest "troll" this board ever had. He could be as big a jerk as deadeyes, but at least he did it in a smart and funny way.



Top 10 reasons deadeyes can write a better top 10 list than Letterman's writers:

10. He has a AAA Guidebook.
9. He uses mapquest.com
8. He owns a world atlas.
7. He has a Rand McNally globe.
6. His car has OnStar.
5. He stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
4. He has a compass.
3. His middle name is Magellan.
2. He saw Pirates of the Caribbean.
1. Deadeyes has a treasure map.

KF, were you around when SuperStar was here? He was a huge troll, and then announced it was all some kind of experiment for his sociology class.

We all saw it for what it was: a bad attempt to weasel his way into the only group he actually knew.
