Totally OT - sports joke

[Mark Padgett]

There's plenty of "Stupid Game Show Answers" videos on youtube, and one features a quip by Joan Rivers on Hollywood Squares. The question was something like, "In what sport can you see balls going back and forth at speeds up to 160 miles per hour?" The correct answer is tennis but Joan answered "jogging". Ya' gotta admit - that's really funny.

I always enjoyed Hollywood Squares. Not too sure about Joan though. Her voice is rather annoying.

Speaking of tennis, anyone see Wimbledon? Between the Euro Cup and Wimbledon, the Spaniards are quite happy these days.

Yeah, I watched it and I enjoyed it. Nadal and Federer seem like nice enough folks.

Mark - Good one. Although, I prefer the Old Hollywood Squares (ya know, back in the day of Wally Cox, Charley Weaver, Paul Lynde, etc).

Also, I saw the tennis this weekend too. And while not normally a big fan - this match was excellent!

Wally Cox - voice of Underdog, the cartoon version. Wasn't there an Underdog episode where Riff-Raff ws trying to fix a basketball game?

I remember watching Wally Cox as Mr. Peepers, the teacher.

There's no need to fear. Underdog is here.

Speed of lightning. Roar of thunder.
Fighting all who rob or plunder

Ya, know what?
I wouldn't find your pictures as objectionable, if they were about 1/10th the size.
[Just my opinion.]

How about this pic? At least it's on topic for an off topic thread.

Touché Turtle and Dum Dum is one of the segments from The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series, produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1962. This show was originally on the The New Hanna-Barbera Cartoon Series along with Wally Gator and Lippy the Lion & Hardy Har Har. Touché and Dum Dum were a pair of heroic fencers who battle villains and heroically saves kings, queens, maidens and others in distress. Touché was the brave and dashing leader, whereas Dum Dum was more of a simple minded follower. Brandishing his trusty sword and exclaiming his catchphrase "Touché and away". During the run of the show Touché Turtle used a standard fencing foil as a weapon. But in the opening title sequence, Touché Turtle used a firehose against a firebreathing dragon and a fencing foil made of a nonconductive material against a sentient lightning bolt.

But do you see the tie-in to Mick's comment?
