Tool Academy

The best part about this show is that it makes me look like the greatest husband in the world by comparison. 

ok, i saw first hand, via satellite, the two of you together (not to mention, i subscribe to the twitters and the blogs), and you guys are the greatest COUPLE, end of story. 

also, end of mushy, flattery. 

I'm going to cry now. Thank you.

[Me!]

I have a feeling that gigantic guy with the insane voice is going to destroy the house somehow.

maybe he can use his Samson-like arms to construct a bomb.

[Me!]

I can picture him throwing his girlfriend out of a window, then smashing a keg like it were a Keystone Light can.

that was the most disturbing ending in Tool Academy expulsions.  it stayed with me well after i erased it.

yeesh.

Yeah, that was pretty messed up.  "I'm not going to do what you want me to do."  Geez louise.

FOT/Tool Academy connection: My wife is the production/design manager at the uniform company that made their cheerleading uniforms for the 2nd episode.  They were pretty standard uniforms at first, just with the word TOOL pressed across the tops, but the Tool Academy wardrobe department apparently "accented" the uniforms with sparkly things and other baubles.  

Wife of FOT made these.

I'm pretty sure a good number of sleeves were removed as well.  I like to imagine that VH1 has a warehouse full of sleeves and altered skirt hems that have been ripped off of various uniforms from all these Tool/Charm School shows.  But I digress.

I personally think my wife's finest work is exhibited in the cheerleader outfit they made for Big Mama's House 2: Even Biggerer...

ive never understood how ripping off your sleeves to show your muscles acts as a pheromone, for either sex.

I suppose it's a way of notifying the immediate public that the gun show is, in fact, in town.

I always have questions when I watch the elimination segment of the show.  Do the producers make the tools alter their jackets? Do they have to bedazzle them or rip off the sleeves? What would happen if one of them wanted to look decent and leave the jacket in one piece?

a black hole would appear.

And when you kiss each bicep in turn, you're saying that you have 2 tickets to that gun show. Either that or you are giving love to each of your 40 inch pythons.

Also GeeOff, those cheerleader outfits are really awesome.

I have friend who works on the show but I don't want to admit I watch it so I won't ask them but I'm fairly certain that the Tools are not the ones bedazzling and altering the jackets.

This week's episode was kinda boring, but I can't wait until next week: TOOL MUTINY!

I thought this week's was pretty good. The show has surprised me and become more low brow than I even imagined possible.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any discussion about the most recent episode. It's by far this season's best one yet.
