George Carlin figured Tucker out years ago (along with Todd, and their friend Kyle) and I appreciate the Jezzies bringing the Science to prove his point!

I can't think of the name Tucker without thinking of my school's tuck shop and its cheap chocolate milk (actually free cos I was a boarder, and the hostel's chef ran the tuck shop and he liked me).

So Tucker just makes me think of eating. Which isn't that bad. Or maybe that's just because I come from a country where parents would sooner die before naming their child Tucker.

My mom told me when I grew up I could be anything I wanted. So I became an asshole."

I know I'm supposed to loathe Tucker Max (and I do) but I must say ... I heart this line and I'm totally stealing it next time someone (ususally opposing counsel) asks me why I'm such a bitch.

Preston Tucker was an automotive genius who was far ahead of his time. He;s the reason we have seat belts and windshield wipers in cars today. Don't diss P. Tucker... Hold that tiger!

I had a pet rat named Tuck (though not Tucker), and he's was the sweetest, cutest little guy. He was such a pansy, he wouldn't even jump off a book and he'd just go back and nap in his cage when he was done running around. He was the best.

I'd say it's illustrative that the best Tuck I've ever known was a rat.

That exchange between Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson is first and foremost a classic, and secondly one of the reasons I adore Jon. Well aside from the fact that he grew up in the town adjacent to mine and his dad is friends with my father.

See the problem is I think of Tucker in one of my favorite childhood shows, "Flash Forward." He was so sweet! And Funny! I guess he was a bit of troublemaker though. And fictional.

@Thistledew: I also think of Tucker and Becca, and how much I loved that show and how awesome the two of them were. Then I think about how the show sort of disappeared on a will they/won't they cliffhanger and I get sad. At least that is an example of two child actors still working.

Oh, so true. when i was younger, my next door neighbor had a son who was a few years younger than me named Tucker, and he was the most annoying little fuck i ever met. one time i pushed him so hard off my friend's hammock that he went flying. best moment of my life.

Having the first name Tucker is the new equivalent of having "Wayne" as a middle name.

Tucker Max and I attended the same institution of higher learning. Just sayin. So did this guy at the next table (I'm at an internet caf) and I'm not sure he recognizes me so I'm not going to be the first one to say hello.

"However there's also Jonathan Tucker, who did a sex scene with Josh Lucas in the 2001 film The Deep End. We are not mad at him."

This made me laugh and laugh.

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Mittens, who loved to play on the slide on her Catholic school playground. The slide was ten feet up, so six year old Mittens had to climb up the rungs in the back to get to the platform.

There was also a young boy named Tucker, and he was kind of a doo doo head. One day, Tucker stood at the top of the slide platform with a baseball bat, and, as Mittens was climbing up her favorite slide, he hit her fingers with the bat and she fell ten feet and got a bloody nose.

Tucker was a bad, bad, douchnozzle boy.

I actually didn't know I was a patriot until I read that Tucker Carlson quote and my eyeballs exploded. Canadians pride themselves on their lack of patriotism.

@laurascr: Seriously. I mean, I can see how we'd be confused with a retarded cousin, though. Healthcare for everybody? Legal gay marriage? BEING NICE? I can see how that comes off as retarded, sure. Asshole. It HALF makes me wish McCain wins the election, just so we can see how retarded Canada looks then. Fuck that made me angry.

@jfk1624: Also? Maybe nobody takes us seriously, but you know what? I'm cool with that. I really am. If the alternative is three quarters of the world hating us as much as they hate Americans? Yeah, I'll keep it the way it is.

(For the record, I do not hate Americans. Just the ones who are mean to Canada.)
