The Devil's Eye

Oh, Lord. I'm in such trouble.

I've discovered I can watch TV on my computer.

When I accepted this position, I was asked to say a few words about my work experience before and at Microsoft. I was also asked to share an interesting fact about myself. The most interesting thing I could think of was that I hadn't watched TV in two years with rare exception.

They thought I was special. They thought I had willpower. They didn't know I'm just easily confused by remotes...

The hiatus is over. Last night, I watched House until I couldn't have held my eyes open with his crutch. And it was marvelous. I plan to watch another two hours tonight. And tomorrow and every day this week. I plan to do nothing worthwhile with my evenings for the entire week except watch House kill his patients so he can cure them.

And when I am caught up on two years of watching House, I will move on to CSI, a show about crime and...well, pupa. Life is good.

House is available (completely legally) on Fox on Demand - http://www.fox.com/fod/player.htm?show=house

Beware, beware, television is addictive. Them's the divil's I tell you. They'll suck your soul away.

Ok, gotta like a link that starts off "CMT promotes Sexual Perversion!" LOL!

Oops, gotta go, House is inducing a heart attack to prove his point...

as you fall deeper into your telly jones, i would recommend a great book by Harlan Ellison entitled "The Glass Teat", a collection of essays about the boob tube...

Apparently God looks down on "sassy attitudes"? Shit son. I'm going to hell! And women lying beds? NO!!! Who told them they could leave the kitchen?!?

I'm pretty sure the rest of the world labels country music-listeners as close-minded conservatives. Conservative being the operative word there.

Just because Carrie Underwood sings about taking revenge on a cheating boyfriend in one song doesn't diminish the heart-felt surrender to God in "Jesus Take the Wheel".

Ok, people, focus. House just offered immunity from being fired to whichever of his underlings removed Cutty's red lace thong. I think that takes precedence over maids in beds and cheating boyfriends. However, it does not take precedence over a glass teat.

But the teat will have to wait; I wanna see who gets fired.

PS In regards to the site that you posted, you should check out How I Met Your Mother on the Comedy tab. It's pretty funny. And Medium is a very good show.

LOL! It's House, so of course he fired the guy that obtained the thong. He's so wicked and so always right...

But can I just say, the skirt Cutty was wearing...yowsers!

Are you, perchance, referring to my skank skirt? I hardly ever wear it!

Even when you do wear it, it's hardly there at all.

I was really referring to your stunning good looks, fabulous figure, perfect posterior, lithesome legs, and terrific...

Oh, Father, my love for you is as deep as that skirt is long. Maybe a tad more, maybe a tad less :-)

hmmm...is there photographic documentation of this fabled "skank skirt"?...my mind's eye pictures it as some sort of gauzy, diaphanous thing that disappears like asphodel in bright light...

Well, there is a picture, but the skirt doesn't show up in it, strangely enough...

Joderita, what put you over the edge - my declaration of love for the good Father? or the thought of people looking at pictures of your mother's legs?

SP, thanks for the tip. It likely won't help her, though, all things considered :-)

Joannie, indeed! I need to know, does Sara hook up with Grissam?

Anonymous, forever :-)

The many fathers, love every one of them. Too bad he made a covenant with his eyes :-) :-) :-)

I have a confession. CSI Miami. David Caruso makes me laugh and laugh... he's like a mini-me of William Shatner...

David Caruso

Jim Carrey Does David Caruso... not THAT way. *snort*

i remember an episose of South Park in which Kyle's little brother Ike is kidnapped by aliens and Kyle is trying to get him to jump out of the spacecraft...to get his point across Kyle yells in desperation, "IKE!...DO YOUR IMPRESSION OF DAVID CARRUSO'S CAREER!!!"...

...well, i thought it was funny...

arrrggghh...a typo...i meant to say "episode" not "episose"...
...blame it on the vicodin...

David Caruso's one-liners remind me of Robin's "holy _____, Batman" lines :-)

"Alex...MiAmi...has a new breed of criminal."

"The verdict is in, Frank...but the jury...is out."

"Alex...that just...narrowed us down...to one."

If a guy is talking to me all throaty like that, those pauses had better be filled with lips doing other things :-)

soul pumpkin, thank you for the tip. I doubt, however, that any amount of Nauzene will ever erase the horrible images that were forced into my brain by Bloggerland. Especially not if wood_song keeps talking about David Caruso doing "other things" with his lips.

And now, if you'll excuse, the contents of my stomach are making their way up for a date with the Porcelain gods.

Hell NO, I was NOT talking about David Caruso and lips!!! Badly structured paragraph on my part, "lemme esplain."

I have, on occasion, been in the company of a gentleman who has paused whilst speaking low and slow to use his lips in other than a vocal fashion. I do not mock this use of the pregnant pause between words.

I do, however, mock David Caruso, his pregnant pauses, his hands on hips, and his sunglasses.

Are you confusing pregnant pauses with drunken slurring? Many a great raconteur's reputation has probably rested on just such a misjudgement. And to be honest (if slightly embarrassed to find myself starting a sentence with a conjunction), if your fancy is tickled by someone soft talking to your more delicate regions, then more power to his tongue.

Does anybody else here care that you started a sentence with a conjunction?
