I’d be afraid Franken wouldn’t do a high five, but instead a big sweaty back thumping man hug. ---

Just remember this: Bill O’Reilly sticks his fingers (and dildos) up his ass. You dodged a bullet. ---

There was a cartoon online which I cannot find now and said, more or less: > [@](#): > > I often get feedback from readers who disagree with me and tell me I am a “looser”. For those who fail to see the humor in that let me offer a device in remembering the difference between “looser” and “loser”. “Looser” refers to the state of your mother’s vagina after giving birth to you, the loser. Maybe someone can find it. ---

> [@aldiboronti](#): > > Being high fived in the forehead by some doofus at the game isn’t assault? Sure it is. And putting on your flashers at a yellow line to get out for 10 seconds to throw mail in the box is an illegal obstruction of traffic. In this particular case they’re about equally grave. ---

O’Reilly probably looked at you and said to himself “This dipshit is probably one of those people who says loose when he means lose.” Olberman would think the same. ---

I’ll do as I please, sports-wise. And, being entirely unconstrained by circumstances of school or country, I consider myself at liberty to make my choice judiciously, following personal research. ---

> [@Harborwolf](#): > > Damn straight. Someone refuses the five at a sporting event, you get to put the five right in the middle of his forehead. That’s a law. Bill O’Reilly is a big guy, around 6’4" IIRC. He was also quite an athlete back in the day. I’d think twice about enforcing this law. ---
