Worked for a Brazilian company once. Beauty did indeed seem to be a national characteristic. Of course at the particular place I worked, all the Brazilians also spoke at least four languages, so maybe not a statistically valid sample.

I loved Barbados-- they looked so groovy and like "Hey man, party time" and yet snazzy at the same time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Perkins, are you on Comcast? I am, and it's 3 for me. (NBC, if you're not.)

I am on Comcast, but NBC is local news for me.

“Not dead yet!”
Typo, it's always been something that's very matter of course for me, growing up in Miami as it was becoming a huge cultural/commercial crossroads for the Caribbean and South America, to meet all of these gorgeous South Americans who could, as a matter of course, speak three and four languages. (Oh, the Argentines have also been so beautiful too. Can't wait to see that team.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It won't be on til 7:30, I think, Perkins.

Did anyone else see the Sumo wrestlers turn into a jet plane ad?

I thought from what J was saying that she was watching it now-- I guess I have to wait though.

Yep. That's when I said the Sumo wrestlers skeered me.
