Normally, I wouldn't stoop to posting someone else's comedy shtick. . . but today's mail brought a perfectly hilarious and topical entry relating to our fascination with Reality TeeVee (and it does say we're free to pass it on it we just give Top 5 credit!)

As Blowsvivor seems firmly ensconced in the halls of the ridiculous, I daresay this pertains especially well here:

The Top 12 Signs a Reality TV Show is Getting Desperate

12> It's geek vs. nerd in... "Temptation Server Room."

11> Once a month: "Menstruation Island."

10> "Tea Time Uncensored: Who will get the last scone?"

9> "When Staplers Jam"

8> "The Crocodile Humper"

7> It gets really drunk and wakes up with ugly contestants.

6> New reward challenge: naked "Pin-The-Tail-On-The-Donkey"
using hot glue and licorice whips.

5> All remaining players are placed in a giant mason jar and
vigorously shaken.

4> All the furniture in the house has been replaced with yaks.

3> Crew has resorted to poking live raccoons with a stick and
throwing them on the cast.

2> Notes left behind in a Fox boardroom contain the words
"infants," "wolverines," and "ratings."

and Topfive.com's Number 1 Sign a
Reality TV Show is Getting Desperate...

1> "Next week, an episode you *won't* want to miss.
No, really. Please don't forget to watch. PLEASE?
We'll show you boobies!"

Perhaps you all can come up with something even more relevant--either from actual past BV episodes, or something you'd like or expect to see in the future! (Note to writers: If you DO decide to wrangle an angry 'coon our way, please make sure it's not a rabid one!)

Could get interesting

Thanks for posting this GT, made me giggle

----------------------------
What you talkin about Willis?

Thanks for the potential material!

>>Note to writers: If you DO decide to wrangle an angry 'coon our way

Ummm, that would be a good way for dabo to write himself into the plot...and he's awfully good-natured, not a bit rabid.

*Resumes typing after lifting a choice bit for Ep. 9*

4> All the furniture in the house has been replaced with yaks.

Clearly stolen from "Sherpa Rules."

This was too funny, GT! ;)

Du ar min hjälte, Supermänniska

{SIGH} Guess I better start recording "Fear Factor" for when I get my cameo appearance. Fabulous list! Is it just me or does "Lost" seem only one step removed from "The Long Walk" by Richard Bachman?

LOL, fine with not rabid, 'coons harbor a lot of other diseases though.

"If the race of man should be left naked upon a desert island, we should become extinct in six weeks. A few individuals might linger, but in a year would become worse than monkeys." (Samuel Butler, "Erewhon")

Hee hee!! Love it!

*** Awwww, God!! Couldn't you picture Rudy and Rodger's man-breasts just jiggling all over the place????

Would you prefer Richard's man-breasts and naked self over Rudy and Rodger's?

> Would you prefer Richard's man-breasts and naked self over
> Rudy and Rodger's?...

... but not in a homo-secks-ual way...

Thanks GT, I needed that this morning! I think I liked number 2 the best. I have this mental picture of the drawings they came up with and it's frikkin hilarious!

*wipes away a laughter tear*
