61. I like how Piper gets a DUI and the picture that is used to represent the story makes Piper look like some sort of animal.

62. Roddy will always be my hero and I'd like him to know he has people out here that are pulling for him. I heard he landed a guest star role on Always Sunny in Philadelphia so who can blame him for celebrating landing a job on such a cool show??? All he needs is a driver, everyone has the right to celebrate especially a guy who has given more to entertain us than most other stars. He survived cancer for god's sake, and survived many physical traumas, I'm sure he will survive this too. I'm just glad no one got hurt and knowing the Hot Rod, he will do the right thing here on out. We're in your corner Roddy, keep your chin up!

64. The DUI laws are ridiculous. Is there any aspect of our lives that the government doesn't infringe on?

67. Well man its Like This.
You see I Was driving in my car.
When this big pallooka cuts me off.
This long haired ape from the Jungle.
Riding an Elephant.
Jimmy Superfly Snuka.
So I threw a Coconut at his head,
It bounced off Man,
Then I beat him down to the ground.
All the sweat must have got in my mouth.
OHh he stunk like Rum.
And then the Cops came and thought I was drinking.
And.....

68. I'm Am So Sick of hearing about MJ death. He was a human being not a God. It's Tragic and Sad that he died but come on people. There is no sense in going on and on about it. It's time you all moved on.
