SleepyWhiteSox Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 01:43 PM) The Colbert Report has very much come into its own. When it first started, I found myself unable to watch beyond the Word. Now that the show has settled down somewhat, it's gotten a lot funnier. His ears kinda distract me sometimes...

Heads22 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jun 16, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) Steven Colbert? Really? According to da Wiki. Colbert is deaf in his right ear, as he has no ear drum in his right ear. "I always wanted to be a marine biologist ... but then I had this ear problem. I have no ear drum. (Flicks his ear.) So I had this operation at the Medical University when I was a kid. Now I can't get my head wet. I mean, I can, but I can't really scuba dive or anything like that. So that killed my marine biology hopes."[21] He once joked to The New Yorker that "I had this weird tumor as a kid, and they scooped it out with a melon baller."[22] On March 16, 2006, Colbert featured a review from Orlando Sentinel columnist Commander Coconut in his "Who's Attacking Me Now?" segment. The review stated that Coconut was unable to pay attention to anything but Colbert's ears, as his right one sticks out slightly. In a call to Coconut regarding the review, Colbert stated that the doctor also noticed it stuck out slightly when he pulled the tumor out. Colbert continued his diatribe for several minutes to the growing mortification of Coconut. After the replay of the phone conversation, however, Colbert stated that he had not in fact had a tumor in his ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 How am I suposed to react when somebody tells me that I can't stand up and piss in their house?

southsider2k5 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Straight out of the "Its a small world" category of life... OK My Dad's side of the family are Gresham's, and my moms are Lind's, now pay attention as this is kinda important. My mom is a nurse, and has worked at various nursing homes for about 20 years now. The latest place she has been working at, she takes care of a 86 year old second cousin of my dads. My parents divorced over 20 years ago, but my mom kept the Gresham name to minimize problems related to having a different name than her kids. The old guy instantly catches on to the fact that they have the same last name, and they become friends. Saturday mom goes into work, and sees the old guys family with him, so she goes over and introduces himself. She no sooner gets her name out, than the guy's son saids "You are Swede's daughter aren't you?" Swede was the nickname for my grandpa on my moms side (her dad). It turns out that my Grandpa Lind trained this particular Gresham at the South Shore railroad as an electrician on the lines. They worked together for about 15 years, and when my Grandpa retired because of lung cancer, he took over his position as head of the department. Basically the guys who worked the lines were like a family, so he remembered my mom and her two sisters from when they were little, and has a bunch of pictures from working with my Grandpa Lind, plus a bunch of pictures of my Grandpa Gresham, and the rest of that side of the family, and he is going to bring them in next time he visits his dad, for my mom to see. Wild stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
