I guess it's been 24 hours, time to serial post about Survivor. I enjoy the Survivors Strike Back blog on CBS's official website, and apparently Bob Dawg was pretty entertaining last season. Glad to see this season he's bringing it. A sample follows (you can see his thoughts on episode one in the SSB thread on TwoP): [link]
I'm REALLY pulling for Denise's Mullet. And I have to disagree with Amy: I don’t think she should cut it off. I think she should ride that thing til the wheels fall off. She doesn’t even have a right to cut it off in my opinion. The Mullet is part of Americana. Denise may wear it, but it belongs to ‘us’. It IS us. We owe it to the Mullet and all the practitioners of the Mulletudinal arts--and to ourselves people, to OURSELVES--to worship, revere, and most importantly, PROTECT the Mullet. Cutting off a specimen of such fine quality before it’s fully matured and replicated might lead to the destruction of the entire Mullet phylum. Mulletude could disappear forever. Like the snow leopard and the platypus before it, we must dedicate ourselves to the Mullet’s preservation, lest it go the way of the Jheri-curl and we lose it forever.
Fortunately, this Mullet is particularly robust and hearty, having outlasted such Mullets as the “Billy Ray Cyrus” Mullet, ranking higher in ‘aggression’ than the “Joe-Dirt” Mullet and scoring higher in ‘ease of upkeep’ than the “Swayze Special” Mullet. This Mullet appears to be in its prime, its most perfect iteration and I think it will be longer for this game than one might initially guess.
I think we should all be pulling for Denise and her Mullet. I mean, could you imagine someone with a freshly-cut Mullet, some wrap-around Killer Loop glasses and some L.A. Gear hightops with the light-up heel winning Survivor and getting a $1M check? Seriously. I would love to see that. That would be like a dude with a Jheri-Curl winning the Apprentice.
