I just long for Mike Rowe.
You and me both, sweetheart. I keep telling Joe that I'm going to Dutch Harbor next October, when they start filming for the next king crab season.
Anyone else as obsessed with Deadliest Catch?
Buffy: Dancing with you is way better than trying to hook up with some good-looking guy. Xander: I think I liked it more when you were kicking me in my puffy groin.
'Get It Done'
Experimental TV: Non-Fiction
This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh! What did they say about expanded polystyrene?
Yeah, I'm sucked in by Deadliest Catch, but I swear, I can't handle it. I'm going to drop it just as soon as they play a promo that I'm not totally terrified to see. I just can't handle all the real trauma.

I need to add Deadliest Catch to my Tivo. I watched it when it was just a one off special, but I've not watched it now that it is a series.
I liked the expanded polystyrene bit because we use it in theatre and theme parks all the time. Hot wire cutters and such to carve it and then coat it with urethane to make it nice and hard. It's what many set pieces are made from.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, it's a fascinating material. We've just got an offer from someone to do spray foam for insulation for our house, and the whole thing is just interesting.

We use the spray foam for doing fake rockwork. You sculpt the rock with chickenwire and then cover it in spray foam. Once that hardens then you can do some finish carving and coat it all in urethane.

Tuesday nights have now been declared "CRAB NIGHT!" in our house. We caught the second season in a marathon one Sunday and have been hooked ever since.
I want a crab boat. I want a crab boat and I would name it "Another Effing Crab Boat".

Do you think your camel would like living on a crab boat?

Yes.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I am big with the love for How It's Made which is often just mesmerizing, with the clever clever machines that crimp a piece of metal just so or punch out holes or whatever. I'm also fascinated by the handmade items, like flutes or accordions -- now I know why good musical instruments are so very expensive!
