I wonder if this thread could be any cooler if I were actually watching the show. I find it hard to believe that it possibly could be.

Man, don’t let the Fin orcs win this. You are gonna hear grunting on the radio for the rest of the summer. Even [Stefan Raab](http://homepage.mac.com/santiphoenix/iblog/C1681965757/E1408044094/Media/4.jpg) was more tolerable.
