There's been a slight upward spike in the Divorce-o-Meter.

I thought this was one of the better ones. My wife and I regularly make non-monetary wagers for things like doing the dishes or right to sleep in, so to see SG obsessing over whether to call rock, paper, or scissors hits close to home. I think one of the strengths of this episode is that while none of the moments are funny enough to get you rolling on the floor it does have more than one time when it makes you want to chuckle: 1) Artest rolled out like Hannibal Lecter, 2) both of them getting on their game face while getting ready for the game, 3) SG agonizing over what to call on the decisive third throw, 4) the thought of using a taser on Artest, 5) the Bachelorette parody, 6) Sports Gal smashing the phone. It wasn't all setup for one unsatistying payoff. I think this was a good step in the right direction.

eh, not really a stellar effort, but it was watchable...and the taser on artest is pretty funny. What's he batting now with these, about .215?

[Snake]

He's comfortably below the Mendoza line.

I actually laughed out loud at the taser comment...I'll admit it, and the Bachelorette was funny, at least these have had some positive moments as of late.

I think that you have to live with your wife/girlfriend/significant other to truly appreciate this one.

The SG cartoons haven't made me laugh much, outside of the Barry Bonds/Jason Giambi episode, but I can appreciate this. Especially when my UConn fandom interferes with the Rickey Gal's obscene addiction to that damned Project Runway show.
