Well, there used to be duels involved, too.
An idea I can get behind.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Love the Colin ad.

Hominy is grits, right?
Ground up hominy (dried corn soaked in lye) is grits, though for all I know people may use hominy to mean grits too.

Hominy is grits, right?
Hominy is corn kernels that have had their skins removed by soaking the kernels in a lye solution. Grits are dried and ground hominy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, eating last night and this morning on my new fillings seemed OK, but now they hurt with my lunch. Is that normal? Seems weird.
That Colin thing is hilarious.

because they don't set themselves up as paragons of virture.
I remember I saw a great political ad parody one time where the jist of the message was... "Yes, he's a total jerk, but he doesn't want to marry your daughter, he wants to be your congressman. He'll make sure you get your piece of the pie and the other guy's too." ... and the ending shot was the candidate getting ready to kick a puppy.

Gud - that is one of the AARP "Don't vote" ads saying basically don;t vote unless you really know where candidate's stand on issues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
One of the four pastors tasked with investigating accusations against Ted Haggard raged against Pokemon in 1999
...
The second of this four, Mark Cowart, was in the news back in 1999 when he discovered the occult conspiracy behind Pokemon:
...While driving with his kids, he heard them in the back seat talking about "Abra'' and "Cadabra,'' and "my antenna went up,'' Cowart said.
Cowart said one of his concerns is that one of the Pokeman characters sprouts horns. Another concern, he said, is that children exploring a Pokemon Web site can click to other games, including "Magic: the Gathering,'' a game similar to Dungeons and Dragons.
Cowart delegated his church's children's pastor to get medieval on the Japanese toys:
At a church service Wednesday at Grace Fellowship Church, children's pastor Mark Juvera told 85 children ages 6 through 12 that Pokemon is evil.
To make his point, Juvera burned Pokemon trading cards with a blowtorch and struck a plastic Pokemon action figure with a 30-inch sword. Juvera's 9-year-old son then tore the limbs and head off a Pokemon doll.
During the demonstration, the children chanted: "Burn it. Burn it,'' and "Chop it up. Chop it up.''
