7. I opted to punch myself in the balls 83 times instead.
Less pain that way.

11. Sure; however, you should
schedule food deliveries at four- or five-hour intervals before turning on the video. Leave the door unlocked. And request that each deliveryperson check to see if you're breathing when they drop off the food. Enjoy! :hi:

Can you imagine sitting through a double-header of those two?

19. Reminds of the one Lisa Lampanelli gag that made me laugh....
"I was going to watch the Andy Dick show but my Tivo suggested I punch myself in the c**t instead."
