I always judge the career of an established entertainer on how well his past performances have stood the test of time. He's 4.0 material.

If you're trying to joke about this you are truely disturbed.

Did you ever hear that old expression: "If you don't have anything intelligent to say don't say anything at all."?

Could I care less? Hmmmmm. Nope.

And your qualification for that diagnosis is?

No. I believe the old expression was "If you don't have anything NICE to say don't say anything at all.". Why did you butcher it up. Oh, never mind, It would have included you if you left it as it was.
