The biggest challenge I would see would be keeping it fresh. Legal, cop, and medical dramas usually spice it up by making the case faced each episode unique (putting a 7 year old little girl serial killer on trial! a huge disaster swamps the ER! gangs of suburban white kids are terrorizing Latino nursing homes in New…

Rumor has it that someone proposed Southern Charm’d: Richmond, but it got tabled when the tag line was revealed:

Southern Charm’d: Richmond: more fun than Appomattox in April!

This has been my wife’s experience (from her retelling of it). It’s like a warning that her uterus will grow cold, like the Siberian tundra in January, if she doesn’t watch out.

 

Agree with all of this. Vince offloaded a mediocre in-ring talent to ESPN and in return was promised favorable coverage/marketing that would reach ESPN’s huge audience, a fair portion of which aren’t WWE fans. ESPN received an “entertaining” presence on a boring SportsCenter program and could attract more WWE viewers…

So my group of friends and I are all in our mid to late 20s. For some reason a few of these friends created this weird pseudo cult while in college (they went to a different college than me) where they believe life is over once you turn 50. They think that once you turn 50, you are old and miserable and your body…

Wife’s friend turned enemy was getting married. This friend had not spoken to my wife in a couple years after a bad falling out, but then sends an invite with registry information. Obviously just fishing for a wedding gift from someone she’d prefer never see again. We didn’t go to wedding, but my wife couldn’t bring…

I’d only disagree slightly from a motivation standpoint. I have a friend who created a separate account for his kid a couple weeks after it was born. His rationale was that not all his friends want or (in my case) care about what his kid is doing that day or any day, for that matter. He created the additional account…

Shows what you know. It’s well-known in the Baltimore/Dundalk Metroplex that “O’s, Poes, and Bohs” is Peter Angelos’s Kinja handle. 

Indeed. There was nary a visitor in the stands at the single football game I attended in college between mighty Trinity College and Amherst.

We took our pup to a pet festival a few years back and they had a small agility course there. We tried him out on it and it went about like Ollie’s experience. He’s blind in one eye, so his depth perception is totally wacky and he ran right through some of the bars, etc.

But he had a shit-eating grin on his face the…

Well technically this is true of everything British since November. The drop in the pound has made everything ~30% cheaper in dollar terms.

Wait, is this not the comments section of the Financial Times?

I’ll see myself out.

Ranking sports sounds I would have to say “starting pistol for 100m dash” should be on here, likely in the top 5. In the moments before the gun goes off, the entire stadium is silent and every person is waiting for that single clarion shot. It’s crisp, and before it’s even done reverberating, everyone erupts in a…

On reality shows worth winning: I’d add Face Off to the list, probably within top 3. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on SyFy and basically Project Runway but with movie makeup. I think you get some cash prize, but the career benefits are potentially huge, as you get exposure to lots of industry people and it can be a big…

Admittedly, I have not been watching all of this season’s episodes...if I’m not on the couch when my wife watches them, I don’t see them. But, I will agree here that it seems like Phaedra and Porsha are out to get Kandi, although it’s hard to keep all the beefs and slights straight...this post was a nice primer for…

Someone else may have already noted this too (if so, sorry to repeat!), but a lot of runners will cut a course to get a faster time to qualify for the Boston Marathon (assuming they don’t get entry for charity fundraising, etc.) or some other high profile race that has qualification requirements. Boston is a bucket…

For some reason, women on Potomac come off more as caricatures of Real Housewives than actual Real Housewives which I’ll admit is an extremely stupid sentence but it’s what I feel.

Agreed. The first time I had to travel for work, I left for a week in Europe. My wife said our dog was so sad that he’d sit at the door all evening waiting for me to come home until she picked him up and brought him over to the couch. Even then he’d position himself so he could see the door just in case I came back.…

I too wonder what Rinna’s plan was here. She knows there’s footage of her saying these things to Eden, and even though Kyle wouldn’t have known that in Mexico, I’d expect Andy Cohen to run that clip at the reunion. So the end game here is inevitably that Rinna gets caught not only gossiping about things that make her…

Some of the worst cameos I can think of off the top of my head:

- Julia Roberts in Ocean’s 12. She’s pretending to be a character who is pretending to be Julia Roberts. Terrible. I know she’s in the movies, but this part of the film is supposed to be a cameo-within-a-role and it sucks.

Yes, same here. We got married in my wife’s hometown (Cincinnati), and so my mother planned the rehearsal dinner mostly to provide a nice dinner for all the various out-of-town guests who were arriving that day before the wedding (mostly my family, but also my then-future-in-laws too). And it was a way for my parents…
