Guilty Pleasures Anyone?

I really hate to admit it, but sometimes I like watching American Gladiators. I know, I know, please don't shun me? The thing is it's really, really funny, it's also always disturbing, but it can be funny as well. Take tonight for example. Right before the obstacle course thing where they shoot things at each other (see I'm not so diluted to the point of knowing the games) this "fire-fighter" chick comes up to the camera and spouts the usual cheesy smack, and takes her place to start the game. The time starts and she gets to the sling shot, pulls back and out shoots the tennis ball...oh wait, nope, it falls flat, doesn't even make it past the little shieldy thing! Try number two and she fails AGAIN!! What a loser! Then (and this is where I think I peed a little laughing), she runs up to the ball-launcher-shooter-gun-whatever, loads it, and points it in the wrong direction! The announcer starts screaming "she's got it the wrong way, it's the wrong way!" and then whuuump the ball goes flying BACKWARDS! Really? Don't these people have to try out for this? Then they re-play it in slow-mo and again, I think I peed a little. So funny.

And my favorite part? The Eliminator. On tonight's episode, our star player of the evening, does a backwards somersault on the treadmill-whatever and slides down ass up, and over her head...

I mean, I know these girls are working hard and all, and I'm sure I couldn't do it, but really, can you watch this without laughing?




Didn't think so.


But as I've mentioned, this show is also quite disturbing, and I feel I can illustrate this best with another video. Don't force yourself to watch it all...make it to 00:41 you've seen all you need to see.




If you easily frighten'd, beware of Titan...Shakity-Shake Shake....BARF.

In other news I've been on a strict diet of Chinese food for the second day in a row, and guess what I'm eating tomorrow? Yup that's right! I was doing so good too, cooking new foods every night, healthy (well semi-healthy) foods, and now I'm all about the sweet and sour. It's just so tasty... and cheap too! And right now that's a really tempting combo for me. Chinese food also equals fortune cookies, and I'm always down for some good advice! Tonight my cookie told me "Always stay close to your friends, especially if he owes you". Brilliant. I think all this sugarized goodness is giving me stomach aches, so I promise not eat anymore after I finish off this batch, swear. I also don't want the girl in there to start recognizing me and asking "sweet sour?" before I can even say my order. No that wouldn't be good, so I'm going to avoid going there for a while...or at least a week.
