Everyone needs a fleet of flying monkeys to rip the stuffing out of the annoying people in their lives

I found a show to watch whenever I want to feel all smart and superior, I mean besides Jersey Shore.

I’m back from Cape Fear unscathed. I’ll tell ya’ll all about it tomorrow, along with photos because I know how much everyone loves my travel photos. Shut up, you know you do.

Right now I want to tell you all about my evening last night. I watched a marathon on TLC of a show called My Strange Addiction. It was a fucking trainwreck that I couldn’t tear my eyes away from. This show made even me feel perfectly normal. I know, right? Like the title says, it’s about people with strange addictions like bodybuilding, tanning, and pulling their hair out. It also had one lady who ate toilet paper (!), one who ate couch cushions (!), one who ate laundry detergent (!), and one who ate Comet Household Cleanser FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS! Now my question is, how the hell did she live through that when I eat one small bag of Circus Peanuts once every other month and I’m on the floor in a semi-coma calling J to come take me to get my stomach pumped? Life is so unfair. Oh, and now there’s a murderer/assassin in my house:

You better hope she isn’t reading over your shoulder when your blogging.
Hope you had fun and did you bring me back a rock?
*** I got a rock with your name on it. Ha! ~Laura

I’m so glad Tinks is in. It is just too cold out side for man or beast. You are good to animals and that’s wonderful. She will protect you! And I love the rug. Is that in your living room? I love the colors.
*** It is too cold outside. And she and Jack are playing constantly, so it’s good for them both. And yes, my livingroom. ~Laura

I think this is subjective evidence that Comet cleanser is easier on the digestion than Circus Peanuts. It’s not stick science, but it’s still scientific-ish.
I’m glad you survived Cape Fear. Eventer79 and I are trolling for a tax break for the hazards of living here.
*** I saw that! And well ya’ll should. ~Laura

Toilet paper? Couch Cushions? What the Hell? I’m glad I didn’t see it. I would have been scared for life. Jeezzz! Makes my room mate look like an angel!

So…is this show telling me to not make a big deal of my students eating their boogers? I’d rather they eat toilet paper…
*** Ha! Yeah, I think toilet paper would be a btter option. ~Laura

If nothing else, this proves that your resident killer animals are smarter than people on reality shows: neither of them is going to chow down on a bowl of Bon Ami.

I have an addiction to watching shows on people who are train wrecks. I can’t decide to feed my habit and look for this show or busily munch away on popcorn and feel superiors to the hoarders.
*** Do both! I do. ~Laura

Thank T-Rex that I don’t have a television, I don’t think I could take that show. (I gave up television because of CSI. I’d spend most of the show screaming at the screen about all of the false science on it.)
Yay for black cats! They’re extra good luck, you know!
*** Except if you’re a squirrel. ~Laura

All cats are murders and assassins…I know I am only one missed feeding away from my cats looking at me as “lunch”…the little bastards, and God forbid I trip and fall. If I’m laying on the floor for more than 15 seconds….well, say good night.
*** YES! This is why I have automatic feeders! ~Laura

Welcome back. What a crazy sounding show! What on earth caused them to start eating such an item in the first place and then to continue it?

I see you got away from Robert DeNiro…heh heh.
I don’t know how anyone is alive after eating detergent or Comet and for that many years.
A killer in your house ? You don’t mean that sweet kitty do you ?
*** That sweet kitty has killed before! ~ Laura
