Lowbrow TV Showdown
I was only able to watch the first half hour of Sister Wives last night. It was a little more sad/pathetic than the premiere. Did anyone else watch it? Did anyone else wonder why the 1st sister-wife was trying to move the pregnant (and completely wacko) sister-wife's armoire by herself while the sister-wife the size of Hulk Hogan was just chatting to the camera crew?
Did you also wonder why the hell in this day and age she needed that honking armoire in her bedroom anyway? Couldn't Kody have negotiated a flat screen TV for each of his hos when he was making a deal with TLC? He shoulda came to me for legal advice and I woulda hooked a brotha and a sista, sista, & sista up! BTW, I get all my good contract rider ideas by reading exposed celebrity contracts on thesmokinggun.com. I would have totally plagiarized some Jennifer Lopez diva crap right in that agreement! In fact, I think I have found my true calling. Legal Rider Writer extraordinaire. Seriously, if you know of any openings, shoot me an e-mail.
Speaking of sad/pathetic, the reason I could not watch the second hour of Sister Wives was because Matt had one hundred percent decided that we were watching Eastbound and Down on HBO at 8:30 and due to the economy sucking we gave up our beloved DVR last year. I could have went upstairs to our bedroom to watch TLC but we do not have a remote for that TV (I know right?) and there was no way I was going to deal with that scenario and besides Eastbound and Down cracks me up. For those of you who have not seen this show, it is well???? Weird, hysterical, sad, touching,offensive, pathetic, raunchy and definitely R rated.
Here is the best of Kenny Power's, the disgraced and down on his luck ex-baseball star and main character.
This year, he is down in Mexico which is not as funny as last season (in my opinion), but this line cracked me up.
"Christ I didn't know that living in the barrio would be so fucking loud."
My dad has lived in Cozumel for the last 15 years. Matt and I have figured out that even though we can stay at my dad's perfectly comfortable house, his neighbors invariably have a rooster or two or three or a non-stop barking chihuahua or an unhappy goat or there might be a 16 piece band that plays all night on a trailer in front of his house or the propane sales truck, with its catchy jingle over a loudspeaker, may start making rounds at 6 am or, god forbid, it may be election time and the mayoral campaigning is in full swing or, etc., etc., etc.!!!
ARRRRGGGHHHH! I guess he is used to it, but we are frazzled after dealing with that for a week! So now we will only stay at a hotel on the beach away from the never ending noise. Not that we aren't culturally sensitive and not that we don't want to hang with the locals, but why the hell does it have to be so damned loud ALL THE TIME.

Crap, I just watched both Sister Wives episodes this morning, and I already forgot what happened! Oh, the 4th wife finally makes the move with her family. And they show all of them in the hot tub, naked. It was awesome. Sorry you missed out.
Two shows I've never seen nor heard of. WHAT?
We realy need to give up our DVR, or needed to like 2 years ago, because, well, money is more than tight. And yet, YET, I can NOT seem to do it. Kudos to you for being stronger than I. But sad days when you can't watch ridiculous tv shows cause other ridiculous shows have to be watched. haha
nice blog.. have a view of my blog when free.. http://www.lonelyreload.blogspot.com .. do leave me some comment / guide if can.. if interested can follow my blog...
LOL..okay the show was for sure worse than the first one--to many tears, whining etc. I'll be very honest here. I see the show --as a sad thruth on how women lack self esteem and worth. I mean WTF.
You sharing a man? Why cause it's better than being alone? Give me a break!!!!
Who's freaking idea was that...forget religion for a moment--it was a man-- Let me get myself some brother husbands and see what self respecting male would fall for that gig based on religion!!!
I think you should help me pass that law---better yet make it mandatory-- That we should have more than one husband. I could use more men in my life---seeing that mine is always gone...hehehe.
I think I'll propose it to him--Any ideas on my approach?!!! I've already told you my list of candiates!!!
PS... I'll share my shoes anytime--even the new ones---
Gee, he fell 'in love,' again, after 14 years with the old group... and they are supporting this idea... sounds like nothing more than the standard wandering husband syndrome... regardless of how crazy the idea, the 3 wives-in-law were a unit with the poor man's Billy Ray Cyrus and are feeling the invasion as much as anyone would... they've long since worked out whatever they've worked out and that was the marriage... now, he wants to bring in another woman -- oh, wait, she's younger, too! -- and they have to watch him date her!... right now, each wife-in-law has their own section of the sprawling house... where's number four going to go -- oh, wait, she gets HER OWN HOUSE!... if this lifestyle was what everyone was doing, why did they have to keep it secret when they were in school?... this is wrong on so many levels that I don't even know where to begin... it most definitely is not Biblical, except under the perverse eyes of a believer who wants to create his own reality... the Bible says to stay with the wife of your youth (not wives!)... what Bible is he reading?... I have to stop; I'm upsetting myself... come visit when you can...
Wait, you lost me at no DVR
kenny powers yes. sister wives... i don't even want to know what that's about. ever.
I cannot stomach the idea of Sister Wives - it reeks to me worse than the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Give me Just Desserts and Top Chef!
