Scene: Mike, flipping channels as men are known to do, stops to watch a show involving guys with crazy looking goatees and an 18-wheeler.

Me: See? You don’t get quality television like this in London, do you?
Mike: No, no you definitely don’t.
Me: Wait. What is this? The truck version of “Pimp My Ride?” (Another American Classic, I tell you.)
Mike: Yes! It is “Trick My Truck” and it is on CMT ALL day! (Flips to show TiVo Guide to illustrate “Trick My Truck” goodness.)
Me: Oh. My. God. I am *so* blogging this.

Ahhh… American television at its finest.

Warning Signs for the Web – Too funny!

Late last night I was flipping channels because I couldn’t sleep. When I came across the soft-core pr0n ala Cinemax, I decided that from now on it shall be referred to as “Sporn”.

And a note to the women out there starring in these films – when you go to the doctor to get your store-bought boobs, don’t go for the “stick a cantelope cut in half and slammed on my chest” look. It really is freaky and unnatural looking. You’re going to look really stupid when you’re in your 50s with those rock racks.

Yeah, things start to get strange around here when Mike is gone for so long. I swear, I wasn’t watching the sporn, but you can’t miss noticing those things late at night. I’m just lucky they didn’t give me nightmares.

Someone once called our honeymoon the “phallic monument tour” because I took so many pictures of Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. It seems appropriate that I should be considering sporn the same day I finally start posting my almost 2 year old photos of the Eiffel Tower on Flickr, doesn’t it?
