Poisoning Our Minds - 
by sg-dub
I love it. I mention it every week and it seems the Surreal Life editors play it up more and more each successive episode. What is "It?" "It" is the opening "Yawntage" seen every week to open the show. Now that we can say with confidence that this season is by far the most uneventful and lackluster, we can also say the editors definitely agree. I mean, if they felt otherwise, would they have shown us a full minute the housemates yawning, stretching, and rubbing their eyes? And keep in mind that "A full minute" constitutes 18% of each episode.
[Note to the show's editors: Please don't take that last sentence as a complaint - believe me, we like it that way. It's like, we all enjoy Hershey Kisses, right? Small, sweet, and easily digested. But those huge 1 pound novelty kisses our annoying white trash relatives give us when they make the trek to Amish Country and Hershey Park? Everyone hates them and no one can actually eat them. In other words, keep the episodes short and sweet, please.]
And so it was, with all the yawning and sleeping, I was drifting before the show even got going and then...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! What was THAT?! "The Surreal Life" got bloody horrorshow on us with a quick trip to the Tranny Lagoon. I've ruffled some reader's feathers by
continuing to call Alexis Arquette a "he" simply because he's a guy with a penis - call me crazy. But now I defy you, dear Alexis apologists, to look at the picture below and find one feminine quality about it. Guys, sear this image into your brain so the next time you're with your girl, you can hold out longer - if not indefinitely. TVgasm - the blog that cares.
Alexis was discussing the previous day's talk show debacle with Tawny; "Carol Brady is a national treasure," he said. I did hear a rumor that she was slated to be chiseled next to George Washington up on Mount Rushmore, but June Cleaver was causing a stink. Tawny was feeling quite upset about the audience reaction to her downright evil gonzo Mrs. Brady interview. So down, in fact, that she shoveled a handful of unidentified pills into her mouth as she went to sleep the night before, perhaps to forget about her misdeeds. Awwww, poor Tawny.
The Surreal Times was delivered and CC retrieved it. What wacky activity would the gang be challenged with today? "Talk Dirty to Me" the headline screamed - yeah right, this crew? They are as sexy as a pile of socks. Oh wait, apparently that's the title of an old Poison song from back in the day. CC, as you'll recall, was the guitarist in that truly awful band - and he was (of course) nervous and needed a drink because this was his sooooooong, maaaan - so the onus was on him. When a recovering alcoholic mentions having a drink at the drop of a hat, how long can he last?
