Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Even better -- they apparently have their own spinoff.

Oh, my aching head.

I imagine the Surreal Life is way past desperate -- appearing on it would imply that you will never work again, so this will be your last onscreen cash.

Surreal Life, right? With Lady Chyna, or whatever?

I just saw that last night, as I was getting ready for class. I think Flava Flav and Brigitte were the creepy ones in the previous surreal life. The Surreal Life with Chyna has Verne Troyer as the most creeptastic drunk ever.

And they don't show that Calvin Klein guy nearly enough. Probably because he, and Da Brat, were the only people who were really coming off as functional human beings. Oh, and that Brady guy, but he seemed more like he needed to make everyone else's mess his business.

Very weird show. And now that I've seen it, I realize how lucky I was to miss it for so long.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The hand nearest the space heater is warm, but the hand by the window is numb.

I should not have to turn myself like a turkey to type.

Hi, P-C! How are you? How was your break?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sure. I'd hope the people who are actually washed up are better off than the people who never quite made it, but who knows? I mean, possibly people who watch the show, but not me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How are you?

Terribly overwhelmed with the whole having to write a review paper and look for a job and think about the future thing. But otherwise good.

How was your break?

It was pretty good. India was cool in its own way. I've been posting stories in Bitches.

From what I've seenheard, that sort of washed up is no prize. I'm happy that Flav and Brig found love (even if she's reputedly living in another country with someone else), but can you be a performer and care as little as most of them seem to about what your audience thinks of you?

If you're as drunk as BN is all the time, apparently you can...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

New Haven certainly did.

Hey, now. I liked New Haven.

The fact that I will never know the answer to this question is possibly the reason why I will never be a cultural icon like Flava Flav.
