Things that sit on the front lawn naked playing the bongos high as a kite, hopefully with said bongos stragetically placed in front of lap pinky, are never good for kids.
This should never have been adapted from the "I'm a big guy now" series. This should have stayed in the big guy range and not ventured younger.

Your child may well be enthralled by retellings of U-571 and We Are...Marshall , and such accounts may teach them valuable lessons about determination and perseverance (though I would recommend against actually showing your child the former for its violent content). However, avoid covering films like The Wedding Planner and Dazed and Confused until your child starts asking those awkward prepubescent questions a few years down the line.

From an early age, try to introduce gladiators slowly into the childs life. Denying them of gladiators entirely will only help provoke interest in them, as a sort of "forbidden fruit". They need to understand that while gladiators can be fun and useful for overcoming inhibitions, gladiator abuse and gladiator addiction can have severe consequences. It can also help if the family has a glass of gladiator with meals.

Chubbed with reservation for the Venture Brothers reference. But why include Tara Reid and not, say, Tom Cruise or Samuel L Jackson? I'm no fan of hers, but she's no more mannish than the average Hollywood blonde with fakies.

I spent four years volunteering as a counsellor for Gladiator Addiction during my free time. Those were some long, cold nights... when I think of that time I always think of Keith. Clean and sober for six months, not one oiled bicept, not a solitary leather kilt. we all thought the days of concealed tiger pits and (at best) rudimentary stadium seating arrangements were behind him.
Then Ridley rolled into town. You all remember how it was, everyone all representing for Ancient Rome and suddenly what we did in this life echoed in eternity.
I got a call from Keith that weekend, asked me to meet him in a diner downtown. Soon as I got there, him and this new trick got up from their table. Seems they were eloping.
"I've been dying to tell someone! This is Bruximus..."
Huh.
I ran into Keith a few weeks back. he looked well, all things considered; I didn't ask where "Bruximus" was. A year on the half back on the wagon, kid on the way and everything.
I wish him all the best.

I have a mayor plant in my town, and things have never been better. Fallout is unlikely, thanks to safety procedures, and the cheap stream of mayors has caused our local economy to catapult upwards. The fallout that does occur is rarely low enough to cause any damage over a lifetime even. We suffer more from celebrity fallout than mayor fallout. (Goddamn fame-burning plant.)
I have no idea what I'm doing anymore.

go *without* food. I suck almost as much as Bear Grylls
It was funnier with go for food. I'm just picturing Les Stroud sitting cross-legged in the pass lane at the drive thru at Arby's, just totally tripping out.
I love the episode where he gets dropped off in south central LA and has to make it to the Chick-fil-A in Beverly Hills on foot.
I've never seen either Grylls or Stroud's survival shows, but Gryll's biography on wikipedia can paint him as either a pretty hardcore guy, or someone who just seems to screw up dangerously all the time.
One of his sons is named Marmaduke.
You make the call.
That can't be, no one could name their son Marmaduke and live.
Wotan does that. Talks to ravens, that is.

A comment left by digdugz was marked lame too many times and excluded. (marked lame by fell, kenthegod, Howard)
I was about to say the same thing. It's touching when Les remembers to bring his harmonica, to keep away the loneliness.
Ray Mears beats them both hands down. I mean, Ray doesn't just survive: he stays fat.
Well, I don't like Bear Grylls either, but to be fair his show is trying to demonstrate how to survive, rather than being about a man who goes out and survives.
I will agree that Les Stroud is an officer and a gentleman and should be given some kind of award.
Les Stroud has more practical tips for survival. Bear Grylls mostly wants people to climb things.
Based on the episode I saw he wants them to climb things and be really Christian while they do it too. Maybe I caught an off episode though. Maybe it was supposed to be about surviving the rapture or something, but I'm pretty sure it was Argentina. Hard to tell though.
He did climb Mount Everest when he was like 12 though, that's gotta count for something in the badassness department.
Les Stroud lived in the wilderness with middle age technology with his wife for a year. That is more badass than Mt Everest
"..and I thought Matthew McConaughey's acting only stunk on the outside"
that WAS the quip. why make redundant statements? I bet you think you should answer that rhetorical question too.

B: I didn't give you a chubby. You are more than capable of doing that on your own.
Matthew McConaughey can also be used to hold about seven lemons.
The hair of Matthew McConaughey, when shaven and collected, can be woven into a fine blanket with excellent insulatory properties.

i was a long time sufferer of gladiator addiction. their golden shields and sharp spears and swords-glinting in the sunlight-drew me in to their world of carnage and violence. years later i would realize that my gladiator addiction stemmed from a lack of violent images in my childhood, and that the simple act of watching the movie 300 was a sufficient cure.
my name is Andrew, and I used to be a Glatiataholic. i am currently ten months sober.

sometimes, people have nothing to say about others' comments. sometimes, we begin to expect replies or epic amounts of chubbies. sometimes, i care enough.
and that's the deal.
Sheesh, it has only been 22 hours, 21 when you posted that. Take a pill of Chill, a snack of relax, a... drink... of... stop & think? meh. That last one was a bit of a stretch.
I was about ten years free of gladiators, but then American Gladiators came back to NBC... so now its off the wagon for me.
Sadly (or fortunately for you) that comeback was short lived.
I am compelled to take a screenshot of this. 5 lames and 5 chubbies. The public cannot decide whether a simple rehash of comic text is good or bad. Why do I even visit these comments?

I looked and it was 16/16. I had to chubby it just to disrupt the balance. It's like when you see a crunchy looking leaf on the ground and you go clear out of your way to step on it. We're dedicated to increasing entropy, whether we admit it or not.
24 and 24 when I hit lame. I don't know how I got any lames to hit, but it awaits chubbies now.
Yes, yes, we've all wasted our lives.
