Epic correction - Robbie - 12-12-2012

A column by Glenn Garvin on Dec. 20 stated that the National Science Foundation funded a study on Jell-O wrestling at the South Pole. That is incorrect. The event took place during off-duty hours without NSF permission and did not involve taxpayer funds.

Jell-O wrestling at the south pole? Why wouldn't the NSF fund a study on that. It could be a break through on penguin-human evolutionary convergence. Who knew we had so much in common with those little guys? Will this be included in the next "Happy Feet" movie?

Wow...this is like one of those TV shows! Since garvin won't make this error until December 20, we still have eight days to keep it from happening!! I don't know how we'll do it, but I think the solution must somehow involve Johnny Dawkins... ;D
It's time for all CardBoarders to alter the space-time continuum and save garvin. Otherwise, if this is allowed to happen, he may end up suffering a horrible fate...like maybe becoming a perpetual seat license holder at Memorial Stadium! Oh, the horror...

I just want a ticket to ensure that South Pole Jello Wrestling is all conducted according to NSF rules. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Wait, isn't that Garvin?! This is like The Shining; the space-time continuum is already in shreds; the Mayans were right; we're all doooommmmed!
Cheers,

Don't you mean NSFW?
Damn. I needed that, apparently - Redrum - 12-13-2012
My keyboard didn't. Luckily, not too much damage. Sprayed coffee when I read the Paula Broadwell hoax photo.Â

Your efforts may be for naught since the world is ending the day after Garvin's error, according to the Mayans.
Re: Epic correction - yvonne - 12-13-2012
Uh-oh, maybe Garvin's error causes the end of the world!
