In return, Mochrie often made jokes about Stiles's height, nose, attractiveness, and tendency to wear exotic, flamboyant shoes, which were designed by George Esquivel.
However, he would sometimes stand up to or make jokes at the other performers (including Drew Carey) who made fun of Mochrie's baldness or Mochrie in general, mostly during Scenes From A Hat.

Canoe racing is a water sport.
The sport normally takes place on water that is moving very slowly or not moving at all.
The goal of the sport is to move the canoe a given distance in the shortest time.
This sport is an Olympic event.
At one time, wooden boats were used for racing.
Over time, people started using boats made of carbon fibers.
These boats are lighter and tougher than wooden boats.
There are two main types of races.
These are canoe (C1, C2, C4) and kayak (K1, K2, K4).
The number tells how many people are on the boat.
In a kayak, a person sits.
In a canoe, a person kneels on one knee.
A kayak has a rudder.
It is used to steer the boat.
A canoeist (person who uses a canoe) uses the paddle to move the boat.
This is done by moving the paddle from the bow to the stern (front to back).
After each race, the boats are looked at to make certain they are legal.
If a boat does not have enough weight, the racer is disqualified and cannot win the race.
Short distance
In short distance races, the races are either 200 m, 500 m or 1000 m long.
The path of the race is laid out using buoys.
Each person has a separate path to follow from the starting line to the finish.
On longer races, there may be a point where the paths cross each other to let the person turn their boat.
Long distance and marathon
Long distance races are 5000 m long.
Marathon races are at least 15 km.
Men's marathon has a minimum length of 20 km.
Women's marathon has a minimum of 15 km.
Most major races are 30 km or longer.
There is no maximum distance for marathon races.
There is a marathon race that is about 1000 km long on in the Yukon.
The longer races are usually broken up into several parts and may be raced over several days.
In long distance and marathon races, all racers start at the same time.
They do not use intervals where the racers are started at different times.
Geocaching is an outdoor sport activity based on GPS (Global Positioning System).
Players use a receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide or look for containers, called "geocaches" or "caches".
One of the main ideas of geocaching is putting caches in places that are interesting, but not often visited by tourists.
In the listing of the cache, information about the places is given.
After 19 years of activity there are over 3,000,000 active geocaches.
There are over 5 million geocachers worldwide.
Geocaching was invented shortly after the removal of artificial error from GPS on May 2, 2000.
Accuracy of the GPS before this date was about 100m, after this date is less than 3m. Improved accuracy allowed geocachers to specify where caches are located.
The first cache was placed on May 3, 2000, by Dave Ulmer in Beavercreek.
It was found by Mike Teague of Vancouver on May 6, 2000.
The original name of the game is GPS Stash Hunt, but it was changed on May 30, 2000 after the discussion of several players to Geocaching.
The cache is usually in a waterproof plastic container with a logbook where geocachers write their registered nickname and date they find it.
Larger containers usually contain items for trading like plastic toys, hockey cards or special trackable items called Travel Bugs or Geocoins.
Trackable items are logged on the website and moved from cache to cache.
The coordinates of a hidden cache with the rating of the difficulty and terrain and information about size are placed by owner at the official website Geocaching.com.
After checking by a reviewer, they are published and available for other geocachers.
Types of caches
Multi cache: The geocacher usually has to go over the stages, find some information at every stage (such as number on information board etc.)
and at the finish calculate the coordinates of the final cache.
Letterbox hybrid cache: A combination of geocaching and letterboxing in the same container.
Instead of a classic cache there is a stamp, which the finder can print to his or her diary.
Webcam cache: It is not a typical cache where the geocacher has to find a hidden box with a logbook.
Instead, he has to find a webcam on the published coordinates and take a photo of himself.
Virtual cache:  Similar to webcam cache, there is no hidden box at the coordinates.
The geocacher only has to find out information such as the name on a monument and send it to the owner of the cache.
Earth cache: Very similar to virtual cache, but in a geographically interesting place.
The geocacher has to find out answers for the questions in a listing, take a photo here, and send it to the owner of the cache.
Event cache: Meeting organized and attended by geocachers.
There is also special type of event – CITO (Cache in, trash out), where geocachers have to clean up an area.
An event attended by more than 500 people is called a Mega-event, and an event attended by more than 5000 people is called a Giga-event
A cardinal-nephew (; ;) was a pope's relative -- a nephew -- who was raised to the rank of cardinal.
The practice of creating cardinal-nephews originated in the Middle Ages.
Cardinal-nephew was an office in the Curia of the Roman Catholic Church before 1692.
After the death of the reigning pope, the office of cardinal-nephew was vacated.
The pope's cardinal-nephew was his chief assistant and confident.
The man in this role was expected to act as if he were a relative of the pope; and sometimes -- often, he was in fact a member of the pope's extended family.
After 1692, this office was banned by Pope Innocent XII in Romanum decet pontificem.

He was a military leader in medieval Spain.
After his death, he became the hero in a mediaeval Spanish poem, El Cantar de mio Cid.

El Cid then swore Alfonso to the throne and named him King.
Although, Alfonso feared that El Cid would not prove loyal, but with no proof.
In 1074, El Cid married Alfonso's niece, Jimena.
Some believe the marriage was encouraged by Alfonso to bring El Cid under his watchful eye.
Alfonso never gave El Cid a chance to make a better name for himself in the military, and kept him from becoming famous.
This made Alfonso very mad, and his advisors told him that El Cid had tried to betray him by attacking the city without his permission, false information.
Alfonso then banished him from the Kingdom  of Castile.
El Cid then worked as a paid, professional soldier for the Muslim king of Saragossa.
During the time that had past, El Cid defeated Christian attacks and continued to make himself better known and more famous as a general.
This caused other kings and generals to fear that El Cid would overtake them with his power.
In October 1086, Alfonso had a battle with the Almoravids.
They attacked each other at Sagrajas, where Alfonso was defeated.
The loss made Alfonso reconsider banishing El Cid.
Alfonso called him back, hoping El Cid could defeat the Almoravids.
However, the trust issues led the two men to go their separate ways yet again.
The Alfonso and El Cid were meet together with their armies, but they failed to because of miscommunication.
People convinced King Alfonso that El Cid had planned to not show up, and let Alfonso and his army be defeated.
Once again, Alfonso exiled El Cid.
El Cid and his small army left, and invaded land in eastern Spain.
Four years later, he ruled a large, wealthy territory.
Its capital was Valencia.
He ruled well, allowing Muslims and Christians to mingle.
King Alfonso begged for El Cid’s help in his ongoing battle with the Almoravids.
Meanwhile, the kingdom El Cid had worked so hard to build was falling apart from Muslim revolts.
El Cid went back to Valencia and returned the city to peace.
El Cid continued to conquer many cities before his death on July 10, 1099 in Valencia.
El Cid's life story inspired many playwrights and poems.

The uncanny valley is a psychological theory about the effect involving art and robots and human emotions.
As something starts to look more human-like, there is a point at which people start to feel it looks wrong.
At this point, they have negative feelings toward the object.
These feelings keep getting worse as the object is made to look more human-like.
At a certain point, as the object starts to get very close to looking human-like, how people feel towards it tend to reverse and they have more positive emotional feelings towards it.
The theory was created by the robotics professor Masahiro Mori in 1970.
One of the main points of the theory to explain this is that people are not as affected in an emotional way by the object if it is easy to tell it is not human.
After a certain point, people start to feel emotionally about it, but feel negatively because it is so nonhuman.
As it gets closer to looking human, they start to feel more positive emotions towards it.
A graph of these feeling shows a valley.
This is part of the reason for the naming of the theory.
