Which is your favorite Road Rules? I stopped watching after the season with that crazy tall dark-haired dude (who embraced the Elvis impersonator mission with admirable zeal) and his Norwegian sidekick. They were a hoot. Everybody else was just annoying.

As for the Real World, I haven't watched since Miami (that Flora, what a pistol!) -- or was Seattle later (omigod! I can't believe he slapped her!)? Have I missed anything?

Oh. In that case her total may be 3 for 3 because I seem to remember the RW visiting RR during her season and her having the hots for someone in the hot tub (during part of the Steven-Trishelle just friends period). I'm not saying "someone" to be coy. I have no recollection of what RR cast that was or who the someone might be. But, seriously, wouldn't you kind of worry for me if I actually knew?

Those black eyes are pretty nasty still. But thankfully the grapefruit-sized welt on her forehead has gone down.

I have no favorite seasons, only least favorite seasons. At least one Saturday per year I happen to be home all day during a RR or RW marathon and I get caught up on an entire season in a day. I heart those Saturdays. Now that the schedule has expanded to include Tough Enough, Surf Girls (right name?), Newlyweds, Sorority and Fraternity Life, seems that I'll need to have more of those Saturdays.

You should go out on Saturday and stay home the next day for Sucker Free Sunday. Its got a good beat, you can dance to it, I give it a 9.

that's right, the men wearing skirts trend has hit the cnn web page. just in case the NYT piece over the weekend was not evidence enough that you should pack your skirts away...

I want more than enough.

Let's put this way, either which way, I'm undeniably at the forefront of this trend.

Plus I owe it to Slave, Wonk, my shoe-shopping date, my shoe and boot advice guru, TM et al. to wear it during my upcoming travels.

I sense your sadness and dismay that I won't be traveling to Texas for lunch in my skirt. Hopefully my heart will do instead.

ps: I wonder what the pattern on that Gaultier skirt is like. I'd make heads turn in that.

People who waste more time on reality tv than I do
 

realityblurred reports:

"A group of die-hard-from-day-one fans of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" want Bravo "to halt ALL re-runs of" episode 111, which features Alan Corey. Their problem: While Bravo IDs him as a "real estate speculator" (which he apparently is, according to a Sunday profile in the New York Post; he owns and rents out an apartment), he's also a comedian with his own web site who's they've spotted on both NBC's The Restaurant and NBC's Meet My Folks. The petitioners tell Bravo, "your website clearly states that no actors should apply as straight guys for the show" and say "this episode is bad for your show, bad for the Fab 5 to be hoodwinked by a media whore who misrepresented who he was and bad for the network when he's on twice in two shows pretending to be two different things."


A reality show participant that is a media whore who wants to be an actor?!?

Weird that.

No fucking way. I wonder if he knocked over the martini pitcher and ate off his shoes on purpose. If so, he's a genius. Perspiring like a pig and then wiping his sweat on the crudités he served his GF's parents was an inspired improvisation.

Yeah, and why the fuck does McDonalds feel they need Street Cred? I mean, aren't their restaurants doing well enough in da hood as is? Or are they worried about competition from Jack in the Box and Popeyes?

McDonalds: Inferior good? Giffen good? Discuss.

And finally, six more pages of bitching about class/Carolyn Bessette to catch up? Why should I bother?

Because it makes for very fast skimming? At least that was my experience.

Wait no longer, my lovely Dallasian Princess. Gladys did get tossed for smacking the unctuous Abe himself. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth as Abe meted out justice. (Much like the case of the young lady from Real World LV whose name escapes me, the struck party apparently has the right to decide if the striking party stays or goes. Steve was more forgiving than Abe). Speaking of Road Rules Latin America, I hearted Holly in law school, but I heart her no longer.

Lucky for you, there's a new reality show in development called "The Tour," which will follow Mr. Roddick and some lesser lights of the WTA (Brian Vahaly, and the Bryan twins) in 13 sure-to-be compelling episodes, according to today's Daily Variety. The producer (producer of QEFTSG) is pitching the shows this week to networks.

Okay, now you're talking my language. All those discussions on shoes, ancient religions, that thingie called "law", reality tv shows, bikini v. brazilian, the relative hotness of another dead kennedy, I have been unable to really comprehend. But fast food? There I have some experience. I have to say that I had some Popeyes chicken the other week (the spicy fried chicken), which was just awesome, crispy, juicy, a little bit of spice, relatively cheap. Not as cheap as the $4.99 ten piece drums and thighs from Church's chicken, but not bad, and much tastier.

So, for those FB'ers who dain to eat with the masses:

Which fast food outlets do you have a soft spot for?

me: In and out burgers (though limited to west coast)
Round Table pizza, Popeye's chicken, and McDonald's fries.

Note: I know I'm killing myself, let me enjoy it.

Thank you, str8. Speaking of Holly, she seemed to have some inexplicable thing for this Abe chap last night (despite the fact that the other two girls hated him). But that was dashed when he dry humped little Susie from the prior RR season. Sigh. I wonder if Abe and Susie are still together. That seemed like the real thing...

And speaking of the other girls, I had absolutely no recollection of the other girl on the cast of RR Latin America. She was a brunette with short hair, kinda cute. I'm not sure they ever even mentioned her name last night. Is weird because I usually at least recognize old cast members. She must have made no impression on me at all.

Now I'm feeling I should rush home to try to catch the show tonight. Maybe the 24 hour reality channel will run old RW and RR marathons...

Still a great way to spend a Saturday.

Easy -- Taco Bell (mexican pizza, no meat), Arby's (regular, lotsa Arby's sauce and Horsey Sauce), Burger King breakfast only (ham and cheese croisanwich, no egg and hash browns)

That's pretty much it unless you start counting sub places...

Fortunately, there are enough people in the know in the family that we'll go the traditional "fight over the stuff she left behind" route instead of the "what the fuck" route. That's a pretty fucking funny article. Nailed one of my sisters to a tee, down to the Herb Alpert albums.

Poll answer: Taco Cabana and Subway. The former when the latter is closed. If you throw taquerias in the mix, the answer becomes much more complicated.

Taco Bell soft tacos are a guilty pleasure.

I also like Whataburger when I need an iron and protein fix, Chipotle for their burrito bowl, and our local sub places.

My method is as follows:

1. I search all of the posts that mention me, because after all, now that Multo Mojitos is gone, it is all about me;

2. Then I search "skirts" and "porn" as those are my only two fashionable interests;

3. Then I search "pregnant sex" as that is my only fetish;

After responding to all of the posts that mention the above, I scroll down the board looking for that certain avatar where my heart resides.

I don't eat fast food, other than an occassional chocolate milkshake at McDonalds. No offence.

Plus, subway, burger king, and whataburger all have veggie patties or soy burgers.

I cruise several fast food joints all at once and take home various bags of stuff at the same time. My usual run goes like this: First, I go to Safeway and grab a huge jar of Nutella and a box of Lorna Doones. I know that's not exactly fast food, but I've yet to find a decent fast food alternative. Then I hit Burger King for a Whopper (unless I'm in the mood for a cheesesteak) and last, I get fries at McDonald's, because if I don't get the fries last, they'll be cold by the time I get home. I eat the fries first, then the Whopper and then a pile of Lorna Doones smeared with Nutella.

And I like to wash it all down with JWB and then have an after dinner smoke.

Paigow, we get it. You think the world of Carolyn Bessette. It is your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

The thing is, on this Board, it's the minority opinion. Most of us think she is horse-faced, too thin, and not sexy. We're entitled to our opinion, and none of your personalities can talk us out of it.

And yes, the rest of us were all using the word "hot" in its commonly accepted meaning of "physically attractive" instead of "has the lifestyle I want and has that frigid ice-queen thing that I aspire to."

So I guess I'm saying she's a 6.
