Title: I cannot turn it off.....
Post by: Andy on November 18, 2007, 11:25:16 PM
I cannot turn off a television show about street gangs.  Right now, I'm watching one called Al Roker Investigates.   Seriously, Al Roker. I not only can't turn it off, I actively look for them on the directory.  Also, I like stuff about historical street gangs, like shows on the 5 points in NYC.

What can you not turn off when it comes on TV?

"They done shot the hole van up; that van looked like squish cheese"

also, gang signs have to be the stupidest thing ever.

Looks like arthritis to me.  Or spasms of some kind.  I hate commando signs* even more than gang signs, though.  Oh, and Masonic handshakes.

*I don't know if this is a standard term:  I mean those gestures military types make when silence is in order in the field.

O.k., then - getting back on track:  "America's Most Smartest Model" is truly insane.  You know how you thought that the "orange mocha frappucino," spraying gasoline on each other, male model friends of Derek Zoolander were caricatures?  Not so.  It's mesmerizing.  I get angry when commercial breaks happen.

Clearly it's the sign for the infamous nipple-goggle gang.

also any 80's movie involving women in the workplace (specifically "9-5" and "working girl"

and the 24 hours of "a christmas story" that happens every year. I'll watch it at least 3 or four times throughout it's 24 hour stint.

I'm going to get a t-shirt with "YOU ARE NOT A UNIQUE LITTLE SNOWFLAKE!" on it and wear it to destroy everyone's morale.

That show is amazing. Everytime I watch it I think "I really need to get into shape." If my life depended on doing any one of those obstacles I would be so dead.

My personal demon is that I cannot turn off any episode of "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home." If I'm awake at 3:30 am, you better believe I'm flipping on Boomerang to watch it. Oddly enough I don't think I've ever seen the same episode twice. I don't why I'm fascinated by the show. It's pretty awful. Maybe there's some nostalgia factor for a 70s I never knew. Plus, it's just so gentle and drab it's like the perfect cure for insomnia. Did TV producers in the 70s think the way to make a cartoon for adults was to not have any bright colors? If you could some how have a sleeping pill in animated form it would be "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home."
