Reality TV

[zandyne]

Do you think that reality shows will be a thing of the past?

I can't stand the reality shows nowadays. It's just more of the same stuff recycled over and over; the market is becoming very saturated with this genre.

[InsanitysAngel]

It would appear that they're just gaining in strength.

I like Survivor and I used to like Big Brother. But BB's stunt of putting together half-siblings to discover each other in full public view really soured me on it. That was the last season I watched. I might give it another try this year but I'm not promising anything.

The "dating" section of this genre has certainly gotten stupid if you ask me. Is there anything these shows won't attempt?

[PoisonedX]

Some of the shows are really good and im sure some great shows will appear in the future, but as InsanitysAngel said, there are some so stupid shows, I just can’t stand watching to so called reality romance!

Welcome PoisonedX! Love the avatar, I'm a HUGE Alf fan!

:jumpers:

I never did find out who stole my Alf house slippers or my Alf window sticky thingy though....... :sad3:
I think one of the dogs killed the slippers years ago but I never found any proof.

Ah! Not to drift off the subject..but I have a dog who steals socks! As far as the reality romance..can you imagine doing half the stuff they do in the name of romance. Sheesh, I would stay single for sure!!!! Much less have that stuff on TV for the world to see. :dork:

Not that I haven't done some pretty stupid stuff! Like walk into an open fire truck door and almost knock myself out. BUT, it was not caught on camera!:woohoo:

Debby, I hope you were not on your way to a fire when you almost knocked yourself out on the fire truck door. You really have to be careful, those doors can jump out at you when you least expect them. Are you sure that the incident was not caught on camera, you know they have cameras everywhere now. :)

I'm not laughing I swear, When I was a kid growing up in Boston, I was forever walking with my head down, and on some of the streets part of the houses came out on an angle, OUCH, you wouldn't believe how many houses I walked into.

Sorry to go off topic, But your post brought back memories and a chuckle.

[vervilledeb1]

Hi LH! That's cool I made you laugh. Now see if we did tape some of these moves we did we could probably be rich! :jumpers:


Mickst1, no I was not going out to a fire. Someone called my name and I forgot the truck was there! Its okay I was there with an EMT, hopefully if I had knocked myself out this person would have stopped and checked on me..lol. Now if I had a camcorder I would have taped the day truck pulled out with some of the doors open and as the engine is going down the street all the stuff is falling out of the truck! Ah, the good times!!!

Speaking of Reality TV I feel like this should be a rerun of Americas Funniest Videos or maybe The Bloopers. Hey, there could be money made here!!! Anyone want to go into business????

[vervilledeb1]

Mickst1! I just noticed your avatar cool! Are you one of those baggers?? :jumpers:

[Sunny Lincoln]

In the last week and a half my child and I have been brought low by a very nasty stomach flu which couch potatoed us for a tv bonding session. Pardon the pun, but I didn't have the stomach for "Fat Camp." I can not watch violence or humiliation, and this was "bigtime" humiliation. I spent most of the time putting my blanket over my eyes, but damn, I could still hear the comments. Nasty.

[mickst1]

Mickst1! I just noticed your avatar cool! Are you one of those baggers?? :jumpers:

Yes Debby, I had to find an outlet for all this HOT air I have. I was playing pretty regularly a few years ago, but I have taken some time off from playing. I am hoping to get back to playing soon. Who knows, I may be coming soon to a parade near you.

I have one question though. How do you keep woman from looking up your kilt? :woohoo: Yes, it is a persistent problem.

[vervilledeb1]

Ah, let us know when you get back to play! Maybe there is a way we could all hear the music. I would have to ask the Poobahs. That would be fun.

Now as far as the kilt (not skirt, see I didn't make the mistake) I actually has someone flash me and I almost died. If any of the folks here want to know what to know whats under those kilts I have the answer and its not what your thinking! Now there's an idea for a contest! As far as the women... maybe Nico and I could work out some type of protection thing while you are in the parades. Or maybe we could just announce it on the radio when the parades will be and watch the kilt FLY! :jumpers:

Now tell the truth, mick! It's not really a "problem" is it??? :dance: :dance: :dance:

[Destiny]

I can't wait to hear the answer to this one! Now Mickst1, what do your legs look like?!

[InsanitysAngel]

I can't wait to hear the answer to this one! Now Mickst1, what do your legs look like?!

And remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. :D

Debby, you had a bagpiper flash you? You didn't look, did you? :woohoo: Maybe the bagpiper was trying to impress you? Did he? Did you get any pictures? :evil:

Now tell the truth, mick! It's not really a "problem" is it??? :dance: :dance: :dance:

Actually, bagpipers are pretty modest people...well, some of us are. :) Yes, actually it is difficult to concentrate when someone is exposing you to the world. I compare it to standing on the free throw line in basketball waiting to shoot the ball and someone come up behind you and pulls down your shorts down just as you release the ball.

I get questioned all the time about what is under the kilt, most times I just smile an evil smile. :evil:


And remember, a picture is worth a thousand words. :D

Debby might have some pictures. :jumpers:

[InsanitysAngel]

I think I've seen this "smile". Is it the same one a judge gives someone when they are asked what THEY wear under their robes?

:D

[mickst1]

I can't wait to hear the answer to this one! Now Mickst1, what do your legs look like?!

Ummm, have you seen the Mr. Universe competition on TV. Kinda like that. :lol:

[mickst1]

That's the one IA! :)

[InsanitysAngel]

Ahhhhh yes, that is a devilish smile. :D

[NicoMoon]

Seems as though only Mick knows for sure! Or maybe only Mick and Debby! :evil:

http://ask.yahoo.com/20050325.html

Here are some classic answers offered to ladies by the gents who don the kilts:



"WHAT DO YOU WEAR UNDER YOUR KILT?"

How badly do you want to know?
How warm are your hands?
Me mother once told me a real lady wouldn't ask. She was right, God bless 'er
My Scottish pride.
On a good day, lipstick. :woohoo:
Play your cards right and you can find out.
Tell me madam , would you go jogging without a bra? If so, where do you jog and when
Sorry, I'm a bit shy and not much good with words. Give me your hand...
Talcum powder

"WHAT'S UNDER YOUR KILT?"

A wee set of pipes.
Bagpipes, wanna give 'em a blow?
It's the smallest airport in the world.....2 hangars and a night fighter.
My shoes and socks.
String -- I had to tie it up so it didn’t hang below the kilt.
What God graced me with.

"WHAT'S WORN UNDER YOUR KILT?"

Nothing is worn, everything is in perfect working order.

"WHY DO THEY CALL IT A KILT?"

'Cause that's what I did to the last guy who called it a skirt!

Here are some suggestions assuming a gentleman is being queried by another gentleman:

Same as you, only bigger.
Your wife's/sister's/mother's lipstick. :toot:

[vervilledeb1]

Oh Gosh! Nico! I am laughing so hard I can't type.

[NicoMoon]

Oh Gosh! Nico! I am laughing so hard I can't type.

I may never wear lipstick again!! http://livewire.fm//Nico/photos/00000075_thumbnail.gif

[mickst1]

Well I for one am speechless, but won't be for long because I have a list of comeback lines to offer. Thank you Nico!! :)

I too could not stop laughing. I will have to print them on a 3 x 5 card and carry them in my sporran.

Now I am gonna be asked, What is a sporran?

[vervilledeb1]

It's the "pocketbook" you use to carry the extra lipstick! Or the wipes to get it off!

[InsanitysAngel]

Nope, I asked Wikipedia!! :huh:


A Sporran is a pouch made of leather (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather) or fur (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fur) that is worn on a chain around the waist on the front of a kilt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilt). Since the traditional kilt lacks pockets the sporran carries one's keys, money clip, credit cards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card), identification, and (not uncommonly) a hip-flask. The sporran also serves to protect one's decency as a kilt is meant to be traditionally worn without underwear.

We're glad to know that you are protecting your decency, Mick! :sad11:

Bring on the comeback lines, and we'll bring on the jokes!



An Irishman goes to the local pub to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, like he does every day, and gets wasted out of his mind. He stumbles outside when the bartender tells him that he's had enough, but he can barely walk. So he leans up against a tree, where he passes out.

A few minutes later, a couple of fine lassies go walking by. One says to the other one, "Do you think they wear anything under those kilts?" She admits that she doesn't know. So they go to check it out.

She lifts up the kilt and sees him in all his glory. As they replace the kilt and get ready to walk away, an idea enters one of their heads. "Give me your blue hair ribbon," she says. Reluctantly, she hands it over. She goes back over to the Irishman, lifts up the kilt, and ties the ribbon to him. They walk away laughing. A few hours later, the drunk gets up to take a piss. He stands up, walks over to the bushes, hikes up his kilt, looks down and sees the blue ribbon. He thinks for a minute and says, "To be perfectly honest, I don't know how you got away, and I don't know what you did, and I don't know who you did it to, but I'm sure glad to see that you got first prize!"

[mickst1]

It is NOT a "pocketbook" Debra! :D

I bet you could hear me "sighing" from where you live. I am not sure about comic but Livewire smartxxx, she has my vote! :)

Nico had the correct answer but I think she changed the joke from Scotsman to Irishman. The kilt is associated with the Scottish, not the Irish, as is the Highland bagpipe.

"Pocketbook".......argh! :rolleyes:

So, are ye a son of the Emerald Isles or a heathen Scot, me lad?

According to The Kilt and Thistle:
The addition of Irish Kilts to the world is fairly recent. Most of the Irish Tartans were created in the late 19th Century and the 20th Century and woolen mills continued to add many of these great looking Tartans.

Oh, and the joke is authentic, I changed nothing!

[mickst1]

Irish through and through. Still have family there and spent a summer there working along the River Shannon. It has been a few years since I have been back, but I am hoping to return next summer.

I have read that the Irish kilt was a saffron kilt which is a mustard color kilt, but as far as family or clan kilts, as you said, that is a recent introduction.

[Destiny]

Is this what you wear Mickst1?

[mickst1]

Actually the band that I belong to wears the Macpherson tartan. If you click on the link, you can see what it looks like.

[Antonio]

MAN! I think I should take to wearing a kilt! Mickst1, high five!! I see where all the action is. What a funny thread to read! Looks like you have your hands full here. If you need help just give a yell!

[NicoMoon]

Tony, better his hands full than ours! :toot:

[mickst1]

Yes Antonio, throw on yur kilt and join in. And if they try to look up yur kilt, you can always fend them off with your pipes. :woohoo: or you could use your sgian dubh to fend them off.

[NicoMoon]

I dunno, Mick, something tells me that you'd be mighty disappointed if none of us gals expressed interest in what's up your kilt! :disbelief:




MYSTERY SCOT

Three Scotswomen are walking home at night (they are neighbors) and find a Scotsman passed out partially under a wagon. His upper body is under the wagon and they can't see who he is; however, they would like to help him get home.

The first woman looks under his kilt and says, "It's not my husband".

The second woman looks under his kilt and says, It's not my husband". The third woman looks under his kilt and says, "Why he's not even from our village!"

[mickst1]

Nico, I am sure you all know what is up there!! :woohoo: :woohoo: but I think it might be a little curiosity of what is up there. :lol: And like the little guy pointing up and laughing...sure wouldn't want that, so I gotta keep ya all guessing. :lol:

[vervilledeb1]

Woo hoo, I am not getting into this battle! I know better. :jumpers:

No Debby, it's not a battle. I think it is harmless banter back and forth between two "ole patty's" :jumpers:

ONLY 7 DAYS LEFT TO ST. PATRICK'S DAY

I distinctly remember hearing a popular Scottish drinking song along the lines of this joke. (Every year at the Highland Games!) The ending refrain is, "Lad, I don't know where you been, but I see you won first prize!"

I can remember hearing the same one on the radio lol. I used to sing it on the way to work! :jumpers:

[chatterbox]

I agree and disagree about the topic here. Yes we are saturated with reality tv shows but new ideas are sprouting and all seems cool. I just hate the fact that they would make never ending seasons that people just wants to throw up everytime they hear a new one is coming up.

[nightgirl]

Reality TV shows are really a fad these days, right now I am very fond of watching the Project Runway. It is so cool plus you get to see different designs of dresses which who knows in the future would definitely hit the real runway. It was so cool to know that designers suffer that much just to have a single dress made.
