Ladies and Gentlemen and Variations Thereupon –

So, mildly amusing story; I kind of forgot that I was recapping this show. Because I pretty much forgot that this show exists. Because this show’s existence is a cancerous lesion on the skin of humanity. (Also I have been suffering from major computer/internet issues and have barely been able to crank out the Tonight’s Top 10 Showssuccessfully.) But now I have remembered (and my computer has quit shutting down randomly) and will get all caught up on the two episodes that I skipped. Meanwhile, for your delectation and delight, I present to you:

“Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?”

These people. Well, most of them at least.

Previously on Snooki & JWoww: All on their own, our girls found an apartment and happened upon this beautiful old firehouse that is completely within the financial means of two basically unemployed girls in their 20′s. Snooki went to her first ultrasound appointment, and discovered that despite all odds, the embryo appears perfectly normal and healthy.

We join Snooki, Jionni and JMomm finishing up at the ultrasound, and Snooki (or JMomm) squeals, “Oh, how cute!” Um, I’ve had four children, and the being who has taken up residence in your uterus is not, at that first ultrasound, “cute.” It doesn’t even look remotely humanoid. But I guess cute is better than being grossed out, which according to my twitter feed’s gossip tweets seems to be how Snooki feels about much of the whole pregnancy process. Yes, I subscribe to Jersey Shore news feeds. I do it for you guys. Stop judging me!

Snooki and JMomm joint-interview that the ultrasound was “weird” (Snooki) and “a celebration because the baby is fine” (JMomm.) It’s good that Jenni is still living up to her nickname. The girls leave the hospital and go to a diner, because you know how pregnant women need to eat every 43 seconds. Snooki tells JMomm that everything is “so real right now,” and JMomm snarks that she’s sitting at a diner in Jersey City with her “knocked up best friend.” She’s not jealous one. Little. Bit.

Snooki floats the completely original and not at all producer-led idea of having their Jersey Shore roommates over to share her big news. JMomm points out that their place won’t be ready until Saturday. “Well, we have time all day tomorrow and then Thursday,” Snooki replies, and I have to wonder if she just doesn’t know what order the days of the week go in or if they have plans on Friday that we haven’t been told about yet. JMomm complains that there’s no place to put decorations, and says that they need to go to the thrift store. These two in a thrift store has to be somewhat akin to when Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie went to WalMart back in the day.

Snooki reminds JMomm that they just bought “like a million things of fabric” and that they can use those for decorations. “How can you make a vase out of fabric?” JMomm asks.

I fucking hate my life right now.

Snooki asks what a vase is, and JMomm tries pronouncing it “vahz” but it still rings no bells. She laughs in disbelief as Snooki asks, “What?” In all fairness, Snooki probably calls vases “those things that you put flowers in,” because it requires far more words and that girl looooves to hear herself talk.

At Ye Olde Homestead: JMomm is calling someone named Anthony, who is a handyman. JMomm needs someone to help her with curtains. Curtains aren’t difficult, just go down to The Home Depot or Lowes or something and buy a power driver, a level, and a sturdy step ladder. But then I suppose she runs the chance of chipping a nail, and we certainly can’t have that! She interviews that she is excited to have the roommates over to the house, but she wants the house to be finished first.

After hanging up with Anthony (who apparently sounds like a “sexy black man”) JMomm tells Snooki that she really has to get up now.

Snooki is not a morning person.

“Thanks, boo, for inviting everyone over for tomorrow night,” JMomm calls out as she leaves the house. “Thanks for getting up and helping!” I don’t remember her being this passive-aggressive on Jersey Shore.

“I’m basically taking control right now,” JMomm interviews. “I want a nice house, and I want the roommates to know that, like, we decorated it.” Given that the item she immediately asks for at the hardware store is “leopard tape,” I’m feeling pretty confident that the roommates will know who made the decor choices.  She loads up on 10 rolls each of leopard and zebra print Duck Tape® and moves on to the next store.

Duck Tape® has a wide selection of colors, patterns, and even college themed decorative tapes. It is also what my mother uses to keep both her front and back bumper attached to her car.

About

After giving birth to her fourth child, SuburBint carefully weighed the options and decided that recapping reality TV was probably a better choice in the long run than alcoholism. Liver function tests have yet to confirm the wisdom of this decision. Being an honest-to-goodness recapper is also a dream come true, as she has aspired to do this ever since discovering that such a thing existed way back in 2002.

Her favorite shows of all time include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Coupling, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Firefly, Community, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, and Veronica Mars. She can also quote The Big Lebowski in its entirety, and will do so with little to no provocation.

    SuperiorB, oh did you miss two episodes? I thought you were giving us an early Christmas present.

    Or had finally decided that enough was, after all, enough.

    Okay. Hate the show, but love your ‘caps, so here we go….

    @ SSC — Sadly no, the show apparently must go on, and I must continue recapping it. I wouldn’t say that I like it, but it is interesting to see these two out of the Jersey Shore context. And watching this makes me VERY excited for the next season of Jersey Shore — I have a feeling it is going to be an absolute dramapalooza, especially after the way the roomies reacted to Snooki’s big news. Can’t wait!

    Since I wasn’t watching to see the reactions, were they at all like, you know, normal human reactions, or were they director-ordered “okay, in this next scene act RILLY surprised”? I cannot believe they hadn’t heard the news about the pregnancy; on the other hand, I cannot believe they can act.

    One Gasmi said that a picture of J-Momm looked like a surprised cat, and that is all I see anymore.

    @mj, are you sure you want to hear a sex story featuring the elderly?

    Be careful what you ask for.

    @ SSC — I think the reactions were genuine, ranging from absolutely shocked (Vinny), to excited and happy (Deena), to I-really-couldn’t-care-less (Ronnie), to polite and reserved (Sammi). I think JMomm knew before Snooki “officially” told her on camera, but I don’t think that the others knew, because they aren’t that good of actors and all of their reactions were so very true to their personalities.

    And yes, JMomm does have rather feline facial features. I’m fairly certain that I will have nightmares about her morphing into a cat tonight.

    @ mjhhawk — You asked for the sex story, and the sex story you shall have.

    I first heard about this from a former coworker who was friends with the couple involved, and then about two years later I heard the exact same story from a new friend who was a paramedic and witnessed the scene in all its sordid glory. The conversation is entirely from my own imagination, but all of the other details are, according to my two sources, absolutely true.

    So this couple in their 60s, newly retired, found that after 30+ years of marriage some of the magic was missing in their relationship. Pretty much all of the magic. But being deeply committed to one another, they decided to look for ways to spice things up and recapture the chemistry that they had when they were young and newly in love.

    Eventually, they decided that role-play in the bedroom just might be the best way to make their sex life more exciting, and jumped in with both feet, purchasing costumes, props, toys, etc. They weren’t the kind of people to half-ass anything.

    Lo and behold, role-play was very exciting for both of them, and they enjoyed coming up with new scenarios and story lines. One day they decided that a superhero coming to the rescue of the poor innocent little victim of some über-villain would be a fun game, so the missus put on some extremely revealing lingerie and her husband handcuffed her hands to the bedposts. He was wearing a cape, a Zorro-type mask, and nothing else.

    “Help me!” the wife cried. “Oh, isn’t there a bold hero who will rescue me from the evil machinations of the bad, bad man who has taken me hostage?!” “Never fear, little lady!” her husband replied, “I shall save you!” He had climbed up onto the top of their dresser so that he could “fly” to her rescue and then get down to business. However, as he proceeded to leap from the dresser, rather than following an outward and downward trajectory, he leaped outward and up, completely forgetting about the ceiling fan which hung over their bed. His balding head connected with the fan, and he hit the floor, unconscious. (Yes, I know this sounds a lot like Gerald’s Game.)

    The wife was understandably freaked out, not knowing how badly he was injured or if he was even dead, and being handcuffed to the bed, she was pretty much fucked, albeit not in the way she had been hoping for. Luckily for her, they lived in one of those subdivisions where you have about 2 feet between the houses, so she started screaming for help. A neighbor heard her and called 911.

    The police, fire department, and an ambulance arrived at the house a few minutes later, and after hearing the (now weakening) cries for help from the bedroom, the police broke down the front door. They took the scantily clad couple to the hospital and tended to the husband’s injury, which wasn’t too serious in the end. And the couple had a good sense of humor about the situation, good enough to tell the story to their friends, partly for the sake of amusement but also as a cautionary tale.

    The End.

    Shameless plea for comments. Make my job worthwhile here, people! This show is like a mini-dementor, slowly sucking the soul from my body. It doesn’t have to be on topic. You could even just tell me what you ate for lunch. Just comment, dammit!

    Ok! I can do this!!

    Now, I love your recaps and never miss them! The show? Have never, will never watch it. Sorry, it makes me feel like my IQ is actively dropping whenever I see any of these people on my TV and, trust me, I can no longer afford to loose points! Hey! I went to college in the 80′s – I had fun!

    I think you are providing a tremendous public service!! You spare me the agony and possible brain damage by watching this and recapping for me. Thank you!

    The show sucks, but if you only read the recaps, J-Meow and Tales From the Horny Geriatric Side make this the best show ever! I imagine grandma rolled her boobs up into a naughty nurse uniform to help him recover.

    @ WishICouldDance — Yay! I don’t remember seeing you comment before (at least not on any of the shows I frequent) so thanks for chiming in over here! I’m not entirely sure that I have the IQ points to lose either, but I’m willing to do my part for the sake of humanity.

    @ BedHeadJen — Ew, now there’s a mental image that I was not expecting! You’re probably right. It’s nice that they were so willing to experiment, I guess. It’s good to try new things and stay active as one ages, they say.

    Yay! Back at ya!!

    I tend to keep quiet over here cause you cover all the snarky comments I could possibly come up with in regards to… I was going to call them “Dumb & Dumber” but that’s an insult to Harry & Lloyd.

    Having said that… I really don’t want you to go anywhere so I shall do my best to contribute! You are my little secret weapon when it comes to shocking my 19-year old daughter. She is baffled by my vast knowledge and insights!! I owe it all to you so… Keep it up!!

    @ WishICouldDance — Knowing that I am the secret weapon in your arsenal towards baffling your daughter when it comes to trashier side of pop culture has completely made my day! Happy to do my part towards causing the next generation to feel slightly uneasy about actually knowing everything after all! (I have a 14 year-old daughter myself.)

    Please do participate more! We don’t bite, at least not very often, and we’ve all had our shots.

    Anyone else really curious what that handyman story could possibly have been about that would require that much censorship?!!! The rumors about Deena and her bedroom proclivities, and Deena’s sister and her superpowers that Mike and co. discussed on Jersey Shore didn’t have nearly as much effort put into censoring them and they were pretty explicit!!! They bleeped but didn’t black bar out mouths… I am curious! I know I don’t want to know but… I do! Haha, otherwise the show is pretty lame, love the recaps tho

    I also have another story that involves snooki n jwoww. It’s probably worse than my personal story that I shared.
