Anyone see Nik Wallenda walk over that canyon?

Holy shit, right? Wow.

To me, I knew it was effective because like everyone else I only tuned in to see him "pull a Papa", but by the time he got over the canyon and the wind started going, whoaaa shit, I was white-knuckling it along with everyone else.

Nicely done, sir.

With the 10 second delay on TV there's no reason to watch because if the thing everybody wants to see happens they're not going to show it.

There's no reason to watch.

Unless you want to actually see the thing that they're broadcasting.

You are one nasty little miserable fucker, do you know that? I forget if I'm allowed to run you off or not, though. I gotta check with Robb first.

The 10 second delay was stupid. Good grief this is a nation of pussies.

What the fuck do they think will happen if the guy falls? Can we just let the people who can handle it watch it, maybe?

(I had not heard of it until this thread.)

Yeah but can I run him off or not

So he did it without a tether? (I didn't watch) That's way cool! The guy that walked over Niagara Falls last year hadda be tethered or they wouldn't let him do it.

Yes, without a tether.

And it was the same guy as the Niagara Falls guy.

Yes, but the thing they're broadcasting is ONLY interesting because it's dangerous. If there's no danger of something going wrong then it's not a stunt, it's 2 and a half hours of people talking about a guy walking and then 5 minutes of a guy walking. I can go to the mall and watch people walk.

No danger of something going wrong!

Papa Wallenda dislikes this.

If a tree falls in the woods...

Okay, Robb took too long to reply, so I'm assuming he's okay with me running you off.

The running off will now begin.

I think that you two can simply agree to disagree about things. lethargic, Pinback has no authority here. You are a better man than he is, and I will join you in running Pinback off.

We really have had a problem with pinback being awful to people. This wasn't always the dead-end shit-ass site it is now.

I mean, someone pick a username with a bunch of posts. There is probably a story of Ben acting like a huge asshole to that person.
