True, but Honey Boo Boo had declining ratings for the two years leading up to that scandal and the show being cancelled. 19 Kids & Counting, on the other hand, was in the midst of series high ratings and popularity. I don’t think that key difference between the shows is purely coincidental with regards to the…

“I chatted with a couple of the inmates myself and said, ‘You must be a very heavy sleeper. They were heard, they had to be heard.”

I’d bet that TLC probably has a ton of completed or mostly completed (read as: paid for) episodes sitting there that they don’t want to bite the bullet on. I’ve worked on reality series that have grown hugely popular and as you chug along into later seasons, sometimes if popularity is holding up well, the network gets…

The cover certainly looks appropriate for a self published Amazon book.

My mother in law is coming to visit in two weeks. I’ve just been informed that while waiting for footage to come in, I’ll probably have a down day from work on a day when my wife would be at work and my son at school, leaving just me and the aforementioned mother-in-law home together. Would it be horrible of me to…

My apologies, I had a specific dog-mom on my facebook feed in mind when writing that (loves to humblebrag with, say, a gigantic wide shot with the dog by the pool, saying, “My baby is ready for summer,” for example), and it influenced my wording.

Which is more annoying, pictures of babies, or dog moms’ pictures of their “babies?”

I graduated from High School in South Georgia, and they had a similar policy of escorting people who cheered out. Let me just say there was a very suspicious line between what was acceptable “light applause” and expulsion-worth celebration. That line happened, and I’m sure it was entirely coincidental, to fall…

She stole the fucking show in the Broadway run of Nice Work if You Can Get It. That’s the only time I’ve seen her live, and she doesn’t appear until the end, but my goodness if she wasn’t just marvelous. Played her role perfectly (and then autographed my playbill afterwards!).

I like the surprise. I’d totally forgotten about Wasteland 2, then BAM, there it was.

Have kids.

When my brother got re-engaged, his ex-wife flipped the fuck out enough to land in jail. Knowing enough about him (since they were married) she managed to get through the lost password test questions for his bank account and emails (this was 2004, when if you knew someone’s birthday, high school mascot, mother’s…

Be showed up at work one day and demanded I end it because “he didn’t have a fair shot at making me happy and he wanted to try again” I had security remove him from my building, luckly it was my last day at that job.

Ugh. I’m sorry you went through that :(

Narcissist that he is and has always been, he wrote back something along the lines of “Congratulations on your engagement, my girlfriend and I aren’t engaged yet but people keep asking us when we’re going to get engaged, it’s so annoying, we’re really committed to each other blahblahblah.”

Good point! I was mostly looking at the numbers.

Although I find it shocking that only 36% of 18-29 year olds have smoked it.

I see what you’re talking about, but I automatically interpreted those percentages to be percent of Americans within the specific age demographic, which makes sense.

Oh happy day!
