Quoth Penn: “You’re gonna see Sasquatch dance.” My friend and I were absolutely busting a gut. ZOMGZROFLMAOBBQXYZLSMFT!!!!1!!eleventyone!!!! I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.

OK, so he isn’t the lightest guy on his feet. He put in a lot of practice, and he went out there and had fun with it. I hope he gets enough votes to stick around for a while.

And yes, I would like to see Bruno do a card trick.

The judges better be careful or Penn will make them disappear.

@Rusty: Your comments might actually be worth reading if you ever master the twin arts of punctuation and capitalization.

Penn diving between someone’s legs! That WOULD be a sight to see!

To steer this back to the topic…

You may not know it, Phil, but another celebrity on the show, Adam Carolla, is a very public atheist and a sort of layman skeptic. I doubt he knows much about science (he was a carpenter and boxing instructor before getting into radio), but he is very astute when it comes to pointing out BS.

His radio show is podcast on iTunes if you’re interested.

Phil is such a nincompoop he has no idea of what science really is , he makes constant mistakes that an astronomer should know . he is a retarded idiot pretending to be important , he doesn’t even work !!

Phil why don’t you grow up and correct your mistakes instead of deleting my comments …

I’ve been going through your posts and well your really making some minor mistakes!
Are you sure your an astronomer? you should know the facts. Your post here has some wrong info and your video about the asteroid .. well you made some distance related mistakes .

Also some other tidbits like when you were explaining some important facts well.. are you sure your an astronomer? your info is very wrong on alot of your posts.

your degrading astronomy . Maybe you should not be in the debunking astronomy business.

I loved it, of course, the real star was Kym, she was very good. The highlight was the belly slide, it reminded me of a Bull Seal sliding on the ice in an old Disney nature movie…

He may be a lover, but he ain’t no dancer.

I doubt I could do any better than that, myself. So I say: Score one for us tall, big, aging baby boomers.

I have found Penn to be inexcusably rude on several occasions, both to me and entire groups, so it may surprise the reader to hear that I thoroughly enjoyed what he did (and I am also a former stage dancer). And his replies were wonderfully witty, and that old flower trick…I never imagined that ever being of much use, but he proved me wrong. So, go Penn, and may fatherhood and tough judges give you a little humility and sensitivity. So, what size shoe does he wear…or shoebox…and shouldn’t he be given a handicap…two points extra, I say.

That almost hurt to watch – and I liked the banner about “pain relief without pills” or something like that – it just seemed appropriate.

What I REALLY liked though was Penn’s line: “I’ll give you 4 weeks to learn a card trick” to the second judge.

I bet he dances better than Richard Hoagland or Kent Hovind. But I think to beat Ben Stein, Teller is going to have to step up.

5′s and 6′s for the first show is fine. When the top score is a 10 that’s actually pretty good. Let’s hope the footwork improves quickly.

Not really interested in watching the show, but I must say I was intrigued at the promos about Penn being on…well, to be honest, I think the judges got it about right. The big guy tried but his partner did all of the actual dancing. He basically walked or strode around. Loved the belly-slide, though! OK, back to NASA TV….

Is Penn still saying global warming is a liberal hoax ?

I hope not.

I thought he did just dandy. But then again, I’m biased as a Penn fan, and I don’t know the least thing about dancing, so for all I know he might actually be the worst dancer alive

Oh, I don’t think that Penn deserved that low of a score. He wasn’t that terrible. Plus, he pulled out flowers at the end, which should tack some sort of bonus points at the end.

Not bad for a 53-year-old.
