Magic Mike on opening night. 2 items:

1) Seeing Channing Tatum's bare ass in bed and the audience is all WOOOOOO until seeing the two women also in bed and most of the crowd goes "oh."

2) Toward the end many folks had just about enough of Brooke/Cody Horn and started hissing whenever she showed up

Understood instantly what it meant.

Reminder, here is how Skeleton is scored:

- the bones are their money
- so are the worms
- the bones equal dollars
- they will pull your hair up but not out
- all they want is another chance at life
