Comments on: Is everybody happy? Louder! http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/2011/08/11/is-everybody-happy-louder/ News, but not the serious kind Fri, 16 Dec 2011 14:56:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Malteser http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/2011/08/11/is-everybody-happy-louder/comment-page-1/#comment-414489 Malteser Tue, 16 Aug 2011 07:43:39 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/?p=66464#comment-414489 Ifly, thank God you didn't include Polo in the description you just said. I just wonder how I would last more than a minute with rugby players and horses on the same pitch with figure skaters and soccer players! To say nothing of the potential hazards that a certain Tiger Woods would pose on all involved if he's given some free time to play in tandem.

Call me narrow minded, intolerant and such but I am willing to bear that responsibilty to get this off my chest. I really don't think sports should be united. I am sorry but I don't. Can you really imagine skating down the rink, trying to dribble a basketball, kicking a goal for Manchester United, all while David Diehl tried to tackle you? It would just be awkward. Listen, all sports are special in their own way and they all have a right to be enjoyed but I just feel we should enjoy them seperately. As nature intended. Keep 'em seperate. Thank you.

Maybe just jet lag, or they are actually the All-Star Sleeping Team. I like Hilly a lot, but she never gets the wardrobe thing or the humor thing. She is purportedly really funny in person, but I always think of her painful attempt at a New York accent sometime ago. And she does joke about her clothes now and then, so she may just not care, which is admirable in a way.

They're actually from the second-string cheer squad for a team backed by a large accountancy company, and this is about as excited as they are allowed to get. Shortly after these photos, they unleashed their reknowned cheer: 2,4,6,8 Watch our team matriculate. Taxforms! Ledgers!

Seriously...when you carry extra weight in your hips, a jacket over your butt is not a good look. Get a better bra (the girls should be closer to your shoulder than your elbow). The hair...I don't know WHAT to do, but do something! signed, just trying to help :) Dear Hilly:
