"I think he misspelled 'retarded'"- CCC, in regards to the latest display- name of FanNation's reigning 'King of the Flip-Floppers': 'Peachy is Retired'
The Zing List (August 26, 2008)
1. "I once told my wife I would do her sister."
ZING! Frank (TD 213297) - 5 pts.
Context: Recent NMI appointee, Frank, draws parallels between NMI and ESPN...suggesting that neither are, in fact, idiot-proof.
Debate Tip: If you can 4-way Zing your opponent, a FanNation group, a sports network, and yourself all at once, you are definitely doing something right.
2. "Kimbo and EliteXc will go down faster than a choirboy at a Catholic weekend retreat."
ZING! RobertMenn (TD 213057) - 4 pts.
Context: Predicting the outcome of an upcoming MMA match.
Debate Tip: Specific timetables lend credence to predictions.
3. A Main-Event match up (TD 213258): Ghost vs. The Pimp ("Who will light the the Olympic torch in London in 2012?"
3a. "Princess Di's hand. It will be the most historic, monumental, and historic moment in human history."
ZING! Ghost - 3 pts
Debate Tip: It's difficult to argue against history and beauty.
3b. "Elton John. He's already flaming."
ZING! Pimp David - 3 pts
Debate Tip: ...says the man in the purple and pink suit.
4. "Making the Frito-Lay Cheetos Bowl does not a powerhouse make."
ZING! The Prodigy (TD 213497) - 2 pts
Context: Refuting his opponent's absurdly homeristic claims that Notre Dame is a 2008 powerhouse and that Clausen is the next Joe Montana.
Debate Tip: A reasonable level of homerism is understandable, even admirable. But going overboard with it will simply lead to instant pwnage by your opponent.
5. A comment duo Zing List rule-buster upgrade ...
5a. "You TDing against David is like a 120 lb high-school kid with attention deficit disorder trying to fight Joe Louis."
ZING! CCC (TD 213137) - 1 pt.
Context: Handicapping the latest Peachy vs. David TD.
Debate Tip: Put your money on the Brown Bomber.
5b. "Taking advantage of the mentally challenged to pad your TD record ain't cool."
ZING! CCC (TD 213099) - 1 pt.
Context: CCC defends a newb who was in the midst of receiving a Ghostly beatdown...while CCC simultaneously scores a direct kick in on the newb as well.
Debate Tip: Pull no punches.

(Dis?)Honorable Mention... The repartee o' the day... (TD 213519...in the comments section)
RE: The upcoming NFL game...
Moon: "There will be blood."
Cass: "Agreed. Giant blood."
Moon: "The Super Bowl champs will run through the steel city like steamrollers."
Cass: "Considering steamrollers travel about 5 MPH, you got that right."
Moon: "No need to go any faster if you're chasing Big Ben around. I heard a 62 year old got him pretty good 2 years ago."

"I once told my wife I would do her sister."
That's hilarious. My wife, her sister, and I were booked to go on the Jerry Springer show a coupla years ago. The show had already sent us the plane tickets and hotel accommodations. That was the EXACT scenario. We were to pretend that I had cheated on my wife with her sister when the latter came to visit.
It's a pretty good gig if you can get it. They were paying for the plane, the hotel, and a few hundred bucks each in running around money.
My dad passed away a few days before we were supposed to leave so the appearance never happened. But that quote reminded me of it so I thought I'd share.

I could have sworn it was a cut and paste from your original comment. Must be something wrong with the servers. ;-)
