Germany's like Wisconsin, but with, like, a really bad past. Votes: 3 Daniel Tosh

Cheer for your teammates, regardless of whether they're fast or slow, veteran or neophyte, varsity or JV. Or rally the spirits of someone who's had a bad performance.

I think there's a lot of, unfortunately, unfunny ventriloquists out there, so they've got a bad rap.

He brought it back from the doldrums of vaudeville. Votes: 1 Jeff Dunham

The best way to break a bad habit is to drop it. Votes: 1 Leo Aikman
I always look at films as real stories with real people in real situations. That's why I struggle with the whole notion of calling someone the 'good guy' or the 'bad guy', because I think we all have potential to do good things and all have the potential to do bad things. Votes: 1 Guy Pearce

Women tell me they won't date a guy with bad shoes. There are good-looking guys with good-looking outfits, and then really bad-looking square toe I-don't-even-want-to-mention-the-label kind of shoes.

It's tough being a dictator, but I've always thought it must be tougher being a hanger-on to a dictator.
