- After picking your nose on camera, you smiled and deadpanned, "Mmmmm… Breakfast of Champions."
- The media has just dubbed you "The Skatin’ Rapist."
- Although you do it "Fast, Higher, Farther", the particular solo activity at which you excel is hardly considered a sport.
- Though you’re a fine hockey player, your scar-to-teeth ratio is about 5:1
- Sure, they could airbrush out the Swastika on your forehead, but everyone would still know.
- Prison-issue orange would mix with the background to make you just a spooky floating head.
- Right after winning gold, you yell into the camera, "I’m going to Hooters!"
- The box don’t say "Breakfast of Lardasses," Chester.
- Corporate bastards always discriminate against guys with large breasts.
- Wheaties: Breakfast of Champions. You: Champion of Breakfasts.
- Your dumbass hippy parents named you "Rice Krispies" Bitonawicz.
- A month ago, you had a chance — but now, after this Monica Lewinsky thing, NO WAY!
- Your urine sample had seeds in it.
- You arrive at the photo shoot still crying from the asskicking Scott Hamilton gave you.
