[He is expected to survive](http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,392703,00.html). Legislation proposing a new national holiday has been withdrawn. ---

Not even the shark wanted him. Took a bite out of him and was probably like., “Yuck.” ---

[QUOTE=BrknButterfly] Not even the shark wanted him. Took a bite out of him and was probably like., “Yuck.” [/QUOTE] Or, the shark said “Seacrest… out!” {barump-bum!} Thanks folks, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal and eggplant, it’s Chef Vinnie’s specialty! (Just how does one mistake a shark for a “stick”?) I always thought Sanjaya would be the first one to be bitten by a shark, though I’ve no real reason to. ---

Well, he says shark, but it sounds more like a dogfish, which barely constitutes a nip. ---

I know there’s a thread in the Pit right now about the inappropriateness of gloating/celebrating when people whose beliefs/behaviour you dislike suffer a terrible illness . . . . . . but this is totally different right? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Go sharks!! If only they’d had giant frickin’ laser beams . . . . ---

Is the shark alright? I wonder if the shark has more personality than Dick Clark at this point though. ---

You know, I’m the first to admit to being hopelessly out of touch with a lot of modern entertainment. I’ve heard the name Ryan Seacrest forever without ever knowing who the hell he was. Who is he and why are y’all happy he was chomped? ---

Maybe it wasn’t a shark. Maybe Simon Cowell has taken up scuba diving. ---
