meh day. blah stories.
Firsty!
It's TREBEK. Did you not even bother to look up the correct spelling of this American icon's name?
3. Trebek is Canadian.
--Elie
Which fact does not mean he cannot qualify as an American icon.
3 -- Pwned!
"Your answer is 'Sounds a dog makes'"
"I would have accepted "arf arf" or 'ruff'."
"Rough -- just like your mother likes it Trebek."
Lots of non-Americans are American icons. Notice that Mystal does not deny that he misspelled it, nor does he own up to belatedly correcting it. I think we all can see why Mystal is no longer employed by a law firm.
Napoleon was born in Corsica -- does that exclude him from being a French icon?
Elie, could anyone really say that Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't an "American icon"?
He's not really an Austrian icon. And yet, he's an icon...Perhaps he's in icon purgatory.
The Statute of Liberty is a French icon.
Mystal - You are a Canadian icon. They are very proud of you. You should go back there.
* I'll take the penis mightier, Trebek. [Courtoons]
Ha ha, the Penis Mightier.
Actually, Alex Trebek is an American citizen. He became a naturalized citizen in 1998. So, he is in fact an American icon.
Ellie, please go away forever.
I always wonder if Lat reads these comments and gets embarrassed by the stupid shit Ellie says.
I'll take swords for 200.
I'll take the rapists for 600.
7 - I'd go with the reason for that being "Not passing the bar for $100,000, Alex"
