Reality TV in a nutshell:
"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - George Bernard Shaw

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Guilty pleasures:
Oz and Nip/Tuck Yeah, I know they are crap, still luv 'em. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, Vikings.

I really don't understand the appeal. Since we were too tired to go out, the TV choice I faced last night was (a) hang out with my wife and watch some reality show about uppity bitches from Orange County or (b) go to another room and watch Ken Burns's "The Civil War" on public television. (In case you're wondering, there was no television option "c" involving maybe both of us watching the documentary because I was informed that the Civil War is boring . . .  )Fast forward an hour or so, and I get asked why I don't want to spend time with her, which isn't true at all. I just don't want to spend time with the OC cunts, the Kardasians, little people inhabiting a big world, survivors of any stripe, some dude stuffing his maw at random diners and cafes, people pitching investors in a shark tank, the Duck Dynasty assholes, Alaskan survivalists, etc. I've played nice and put up with that crap longer than I should have. It's fucking awful. 
You have my sympathies, Crossless. I have to put up with the same shit.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Get yourself the Playboy channel and when she complains, tell her it's a reality show. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
So many I need to go to my laptop to really answer the question.
Survivor!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait! ![[Image: dc52deee8e6b07186c04ff66a45fd204.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i585.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fss295%2Faaliyahqin%2Fcat%2Fdc52deee8e6b07186c04ff66a45fd204.jpg)
