lol. That's funny, Gareth. I'm leaning toward the Broncos. Patrick

I'm going to take a very dry approach to this. Since this is in General Chat and the videos are linked, I am going to take it as a question of these videos being compared to one another, eliminating all outside factors. For me, Van Damme wins because his video was first and is real. He did it on the first take. There were safety lines, but that's it. It was still him doing the split, in one take. The Norris clip is closer to a video game. From what I've read, I don't even think Norris was affiliated with it. It's like if you put Norris' face on Mario and play Super Mario Bros. It's not Norris jumping around, it's Mario. Just my thoughts. Patrick

Thank you for the replies, everyone. Patrick

Sorry Brian. I had the Chiefs picked to beat the Colts.

When I was young, I'd get up as early as allowed. Now, I'll get up when everyone is ready. My brothers are older now, so we just do it when everyone wakes up. Probably mid to late morning. 9 AM sounds about right. Patrick

I usually just take the first one (closest one to me) or the one I've guided to. Often my family will guide you towards one. For any Portal 2 fans, I bought my younger brother this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e71c/. And I wrapped it in it's shape, with it's legs wrapped, etc. It has a glowing eye which glows through the wrapping. I think he might open that one first. Patrick

Congratulations wagnerk! Patrick
