Let me set the scene for you…
INT. LIVING ROOM – AFTERNOON
O’Neill and Yellow Tail are sprawled out on the couches in their pajamas mid bad tv marathon. It’s your typical rainy Saturday afternoon.
YELLOW TAIL
Mind if I change it?
INNER O’NEILL
But it’s the haunted house cake competition. They're seconds away from moving an 8ft devils food zombie!
O’NEILL
Sure.
Yellow Tail snatches up the remote and flips to VH1.
YELLOW TAIL
Ever watch I Love Money?
O’NEILL
Um…
YELLOW TAIL
You’ll love it.
O’Neill stares at the TV in a mixture of confusion and slight horror.
ON TV
Two girls in chicken suits dig through a vat of mud for over-sized egg shaped nerf balls.
INNER O’NEILL
Love’s not the word I would use…
O’NEILL
It’s um…
YELLOW TAIL
I know it looks a little crazy. But it’s great tv. Trust me.
INNER O’NEILL
Great TV? Really? I guess I missed I Love Money winning an Emmy last year.
YELLOW TAIL
It’s definitely not as good as Rock of Love or I love New York. But it’s good.
INNER O’NEILL
You know we have 300 plus channels, right? A little Discovery channel or TLC never hurt anyone.
YELLOW TAIL
Did you watch I Love New York?
INNER O’NEILL
Of course! I have the complete boxset. It was in the welcome basket when I join Mensa.
O’NEILL
Nope.
YELLOW TAIL
You know who New York is? She was on Flavor of Love.
INNER O’NEILL
Why doesn’t VH1 just rename itself VHLove?
O’NEILL
Gotchya.
YELLOW TAIL
You watch any reality TV?
O’NEILL
Not really. Battlestar and Lost are more of my speed.
Yellow Tail shoots O’Neill an “I’m silently judging your taste in tv” look.
YELLOW TAIL
Battlestar? Interesting…
INNER O’NEILL
Don’t fraking judge my guilt pleasures and I won’t judge yours.
So, this is semi-unrelated to this post, but what did you think about the Battlestar series finale?
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I'm a bit pissed about the lack of resolution and the overwhelming emphasis on religious solutions vs. technological advances.
And yeah, I <3 money seems ridiculous. And not really awesome-ridiculous.
Well even though Battlestar holds a near and dear place in my heart, I have to say that this past season was a huge disappoint. And the series finale was simply all over the place.
ReplyDeleteBut that being said... I'll watch it any day over I Love Money ;)
And whats up with Starbuck?
ReplyDeleteI thought of all the people on that show, she deserved some closure. Or a dramatic death, or something!
Altho I guess they already did the dramatic death thing...
