That's what a friend of mine dubs "Spock's Brain Syndrome" in miniature, that is, a casual glance at a show will inevitable see the worst and uncharacteristic moments.
Heh. I know.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

TAR 45 minutes late tonight.
ETA: Oh man, but don't miss the opening. Crazy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The opening is ridiculous.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But the bushmen (and the translators/caption writers) are awesome.

The "oh my god what's that?" dude totally cracked me up.

'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 was most impressed with the contestant who actually held the scorpion by the stinger.
Bates & Anthony (Team Hockey Brothers) REALLY impressed last night -- do you know how hard it is to get the trick of lighting a fire by friction? They SO won their first place.
And the teams that chose 'fowl' as their initial choice were wise beyond words, and their placement reflected it. Team Over-Achievers because they had actually paid attention to nature and survival shows, and Team Country Life because they actually knew something about trapping.
Next week we get donkeys, and may I say, in advance: Never yell at the animals. (Unless, for some reason, the task is specifically to yell at the animals, but I don't think there's ever been one of those.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Never yell at the animals
MY OX IS BROKEN!

Because books.
I love the hockey guys. They're having such a blast every leg.

Art Crawl!!!
I think I was over tired last week and missed the highly offensive thing that the show had to apologize for. . . ummm, what was it?

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Yeah, I missed it, too. I was very confused by the show's opening.
