There's a three-minute span of my life I'll never get back.

I was surfing the Halifax TV listings a few moments ago, and discovered that "Playing It Straight" was on Fox. So I scurried upstairs to check it out. What a waste of time. Not even good enough to wait through the first set of commercials. I was under no illusion that it would be good, mind you. But it wasn't even bad-funny, just bad-sad.

Premise: a bunch of guys compete for a straight girl's affection. If she chooses a straight guy at the end (i.e. she's kicked off all the gay guys) then she and the straight guy share 1 000 000$. But if she chooses a gay guy, the guy gets the million and she gets nothing.

They populated the show with lots of slightly femme guys, and the whole plot is "is the behaviour we just saw stereotypical?" During the three minutes I watched, she suggested that she didn't like the gay guys (even not knowing who they were) because she was "in it for love," and by definition they must not be.

I still can't believe there are people who think that their life's problems can be solved, or their life's love can be found, on television. C'est incroyable.

I would *so* win the million dollars.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Wood.

Dude, you have no idea. And to think, that fruit with the new picture called me 'catty'. Fuck this.. gotta get my F-150 back from the detail center and pick up a couple o' 24s - one for me and one for the guys.

See?

$1 000 000.00 == Mine.

Nice try. But your generous plan to pick up beer for another man is obviously a ploy to sleep with your straight friend, and therefore you'd be found out. :-)
