Meerkats vs Dirty Sexy Money

noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) — Mon, 04 May 2009 04:04:00 +0000

So I saw the previews to Dirty Sexy Money a long time ago, and the title through me off and I had no real interest to see it until earlier this week one of my coworkers mentioned it and showed me a clip from it. I noticed it had Peter Krause from Sports Night so I decided to give it a shot. A week later I've seen about 6 episodes and I like the show so far.

My only beef with the show is that the intro to the show is almost exactly like the intro to Meerkat Manor. Both introduce the family members 1 by 1 by saying their name, and their position in the family, and the last introduction is to multiple people, with a description of their behavior. Let's compare:

Dirty, Sexy Money Intro Script	Meerkat Manor Intro Script
My father worded as a lawyer for the richest family in New York, until his plane went down in Long Island Sound. He left me, his biggest client...	Meet...
the Darlings	the Whiskers
Tripp the empire builder Letitia the sophisticated socialite Brian the man of God Patrick the principled politian Karen the professional divorceé, and Jeremy & Juliette the well-behaved twins	Flower the leader of the group Zaphod her partner Youssarian with some social problems Mozart the caring one Tosca the rebellious one courageous little Shakespeare and the naughty kids

Best Final Countdown Ever

so you all should know of my love for "The Final Countdown", mostly because of Gob from Arrested Development, but I caught this on digg and had to share:

Brent is a celebrity

noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:12:00 +0000

So we have this family friend named Brent who lived with us for a while when I was growing up and he was hilarious. While he lived with us he went to the Price Is Right and got called down to bid and it was awesome. Well, the other day he texted my sister to say that he was going to be on the Ellen show. Mary watches Ellen every day so its on our Tivo. So I pull it up and in a couple of pan shots you see him, it was awesome. Then the next day she played a couple of clips from the day before: skip to just after the 9 min mark

How hilarious is that?

Literally

noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:21:00 +0000

Ok, I'm usually not a grammar nazi. I'll sometimes tell people that irreguardless isn't a word, or call them on the spelling your and you're. But I can no longer keep quiet about people's misuse of the word "Literally". Yesterday I was watching an episode of "Ripley's Believe It or Not" and during a story about a woman with tons of tumors all over her skin, the narrator explained that "she literally had ticking time bombs growing under her skin". My favorite is one that one of my favorite shows, "The Soup" caught. It was on Access Hollywood, and a Doctor on the show mentioned about Britney Spear: "She is literally on a rollercoaster to hell". Wow, 7 years of school, and he still can't grasp the literally concept. Other literally quotes:
"That acting is literally killing me"
"This tv show is literally mopping the floor with the other shows in its time slot"
"That bag is literally there largest thing in the universe"
My other issue is people using the term literally when its not really necessary. "Wow, that gymnast literally just did a double somersault.". As if we might have assumed that she figuratively did a double somersault. Or maybe metaphorically? I don't know if there are any rules about the unnecessary use of the word literally, but its annoying the hell out of me.

Olympic Fever (muted)

noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:37:00 +0000

While I am a fan of the Olympics, I've never really watched them as much as I am watching these. I've started to notice one thing... the announcers are annoying as hell. Take for instance, the female diving commentator telling the story about the America female synchronized diving team. She mentioned how one girl's family moved from California to the Midwest so that the two girls could train together because, "Its important to train in the same place for synchronized diving." Seriously?!? Or things like "this has never been seen before" when someone sets a world record. [edit] Joey's comment reminded me of another huge probel... The woman who interviews the swimmers after they win/lose a race. "What were you thinking on that final lap?". I bet he's thinking about whether or not they left the iron on in their room at the Olympic village. She asks the worst questions. Its already pretty hard to interview someone who is out of breath, but she makes it a much more excruciating process.

I've also noticed that the announcers for swimming, diving, gymnastics and track & field are obsessed with pointing out when their predictions are correct. Every time a race would finish, or the gymnasts would finish an event. The announcer had to point out, "Just as I predicted." So we've been watching most of it in fast forward to save time, but to also mute the announcers.

While I'm talking about the Olympics, why are they getting rid of Baseball and Softball, but keeping Equestrian? While it's impressive that they can make a horse jump over a wall, what is athletic about ride a horse? It seems like the horse should be getting the metal. Whats next? Auto racing?

noreply@blogger.com (Tanner) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:42:00 +0000

So, yesterday Mary and I are sitting at home and I hear these tires screech out front, so I get up to look out the window to see what was going on. One guy got out of the car and started yelling something at the house. I couldn't really understand him. Maybe he was drunk. My neighbor comes out and the two of them start arguing. I can tell that my neighbor is trying to calm the guy down, but this guy is having none of that. They push each other a little bit, but my neightbor is a pretty big dude, and you can tell the guy from the car is going to get his butt kicked if he keeps this up. Thats when he pulls out a gun. I can hear the two of them arguing and my neighbor is trying to get him to calm down. I went for my phone to call the cops but I could already hear the sirens, but then I guess so did this guy. Before I knew it, the guy pulled the trigger and shot my neighbor in the stomach. I've never seen anything like it. I noticed that by this time I almost had the blinds about a foot apart so I could see out, and the guy turned around and I think he saw me looking. Just as he was looking at me, the cops shows up and arrested him. My phone rang, and it was my mom asking about scout camp. I told her what happened and she started freaking out. I tell her to calm down but my mom got scared and she said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air". Well, I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cat was rare,but I thought Nah forget it, "Yo home to Bel Air." I pulled up to the house about seven or eight,and I yelled to the cabby "Yo homes, smell ya later."... Looked at my kingdom, I was finally there, to sit in my throne as the Prince of Bel Air. You've all been Fresh Prince'd.
