That sounds yummy!
We watched that the other night. I noticed that I didn’t laugh even once. It was too close to present reality.
*Jackass* _is_ “Ow, My Balls!”
The Baby Bok Choy is a great spinach substitute and I use it in a spinach salad w/bacon dressing. It is also great braised w/sesame oil.
You can grow it in a pot by the window. Mature in a few weeks and lasts longer than most dark greens in the frig.
The author apparently doesn't have the ability to laugh at himself.
I WILL DEFEND "GREEN ACRES" UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!
Meanwhile the author also apparently has no problem with the internet and it's misinformation, propaganda and need I mention PR0N? Don't like Honey Boo Boo? Don't watch it. It's Freedom to choose.
Out of curiosity, I tuned in to the first episode of this show. I had to turn it off because I got nauseated watching the family bob for raw pigs’ feet. Also, seeing the black dirt crusted on the mother’s elbows didn’t help. I think part of the aim of the show’s producers is to portray these throwbacks as typical Southerners.
The Boo-Boo bunch refers to themselves as rednecks, but they are not. I live in a rural Virginia farming community which is filled with rednecks-—in other words, good people who work outside with their hands. There’s nothing shameful AT ALL in being a redneck, and they are nothing like the trash on this show.
What I would like to know about Honey Boo Boo is which came first...her internet videos or the program?
To that end this could very well be the Next Big Thing.
Misty Prepper You Tube channel
Or her Gardens and Guns
I believe she has several YouTube channels As well as Facebook and Twitter accounts and a website.
She cooks on a wood stove, shoots, gardens, hunts, butchers animals and lives what seems to be a rewarding, simple life with her family.
Lots of GREAT prepper info! She is my HERO! Can't wait for the TV program!
The only video I question is the one where she and her girls are splitting wood. As someone who has split wood for a LONG time I can say it's lucky she didn't get seriously hurt.
Can you say "hawg"? I knew you could!
I have noticed with having music or radio, daily activities, conversations can continue on; but with TV all things must stop as attention is rivited to the TV. Maybe its me, cause I’m a visual person.
belly flopping into a mud bog is not being a redneck.. doing it into a nice stinky gooey pig sty and smiling afterwards is. TLC likes gooey and stinky for some reason.;-)
How is boxee?
That’s all we do with ours, that and my XBox 360.
So basically it hells version of Sheryl Temple...
I read something the other day that said the family only makes $4,000 per episode. My wife likes the little girl but I refuse to watch people who are too ignorant to know they are being mocked. They sold their dignity and honor for a paltry sum of money if that’s really what they make per episode.
I agree. Many are using the term “red neck” when they mean “white trash”. There is a big difference. Red neck is a respectable term....white trash, not so.
Yes, exactly.
I would think all those shows are cheaper to make than having to hire competent writers who know how to do a decent tv show...I caught reruns of the old Barney Miller show and its still funny and not at all dated...no politics in the show...Fraser is still funny, Old Bob Newhart shows in reruns are still good...hardley any thing put on in the last 10 years is funny or well written except NCIS (love that show) Oh and WKRP another good rerun...most of these shows are 15-20 years old and still hold up. Now they are sexed up and liberal political messages for us all....yuk
I would never consider submitting this thread as a professional essay. It’s not worthy of that entry. It was a post as a immediate reaction to a story and observation.
I do appreciate your candour, though. BTW, I’m joking...about the “candour”. :^)
Well, Lacey2, I’m not really suggesting that Americans should give up televised programs.
What I am saying is that there are a lot of Americans who are indifferent to the ideology and philosophy behind these programs, and the detrimental affect it has on society. I am saying that we should exercise sound judgment and discernment when we tune-in, examine some of these programs with a critical eye in order to recognize and filter the messages which are being conveyed.
Should we filter Alton Brown, or the Pawn Shop? No. These shows are straight-forward. Should we examine historical documentaries with a skeptical eye? Yes. I believe you understand my point.
Finally, to tune-out and off is of no consequence to individuals. If anything, it’s of great benefit. There are a number of anecdotes on this very thread which illustrates my point.
