INTENSITY: Give 100%. 110% is impossible. Only idiots recommend that.


Not on the pyramid, but heard a couple of episodes ago: "There's only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk, which is water that's lying about being milk."

He is one of the greatest characters to come out of TV.

I quit watching after the entire cast participated in that damn video.

America: The only country that matters. If you want to experience other "cultures," use an atlas, or a ham radio.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

The Swanson character is the only thing worth watching that show for. The rest of the cast and plot lines leave me feeling like part of my brain has been sucked out.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Too bad your brain was sucked out. If you still had it, you would like the whole show.  :P

I think it was the vapid, insipid, shallow, superficial nature of the rest of the show and characters that did the sucking.

This. It's a retarded show with one great character (Ron) and one good one (Tom)

If you go to youtube and look up Ron Swanson and the 'Tom Face' that's all you really need.  =D

Fishing relaxes me.  It's like yoga, except I still get to kill something.

I don't even know which one tom is.

I've seen a couple bits with Ron, and those are funny.

The rest is typical NBC comedy crap. Uggg...

I'll stick to ABC's line up. The Middle has grown on me, and Modern Family is a freeking hoot.
