3. Could-Not-Care-O-Meter is off the scale
I did find it amusing, however, that "Imperialism" came in third. :silly:

8. I was happy for the 77 year old owner
In the stands, 77-year-old owner Roy Chapman got out of his wheelchair and shouted, "I can't believe it!" as he received hugs from Servis, friends and relatives. Chapman, hooked up to an oxygen tank because of his emphysema, then sat back down, taking deep breaths to calm himself, but smiling the whole time.

9. i saw him a few weeks ago and I knew he would be
a favorite. I hope he goes all the way.

I thought the owner was going to die. He was huffing, puffing and holding his chest.

12. "I thought the owner was going to die."
That's a very insensitive thing to say...apparently.

21. It's insensitive to say but all of us at my office
Thought the same thing, how he got so excited that he looked like he was heaving his last breath. He's ok. He's a richer man now. God bless him.Not only cause he won but that he's still alive and kicking.
