Tim and Eric

When Hillary Clinton takes off her mask at night, what do you think is underneath?
Mrs. Bill Clinton, the wife of Bill Clinton. Bill Cinton’s wife. The wife of Bill Clinton and the former first lady of the ’90s. Over the HILLary, the Hill. The Larry.

Baseball season is here, so it’s time for fantasy baseball! If your fantasy baseball team were made up entirely of fantasy creatures (for example, unicorns, elves, mages), what would they be, and what positions would they play?
Robin Williams, Mork, Popeye, Bicentennial Man, Jack, Peter Pan, Dr. Adams, and Garp. Well, Garp is the coach, so he can choose the positions for the team.

Who's the best choice to be John McCain’s running mate?
Kenyans are fast runners. They have endurance and can keep up with Mr. McCain. (Note: it’s Josh McCain, right? You might want to double-check that.)

An article was just published in the Boston Globe saying that elderly people in Massachusetts are falling down much more than ever before. Why do you think old Bostonians can’t stay on their feet?
What is a Boston globe? Is it different from a regular globe? Is it like Boston baked beans versus regular baked beans? Perhaps it’s the globe-shaped nature of the city to cause people to fall down.

Why are you looking at each other like that?
We are both very afraid of each other and what the other one might do at any moment’s notice. . . . Don’t!
