Viva Laughlin Circling The Drain
Let me start by saying if you like the current offering of movies, television shows and music, you might want to back out now. You probably will not like what I have to say today.
I kinda complained about music awhile back so I will just take on television today.
Who decides what gets on TV and more importantly what stays on TV. Whoever they are... they are not qualified to choose their own jell-o color at Golden Corral. These people thought that Viva Laughlin was a good idea. It was the worst program I have ever seen. It was actually worse than Cop Rock. I didn't think there would ever be anything televised worse than Cop Rock. Boy... was I wrong. Evidently the Viva Laughlin folks would have chosen the nasty blue jell-o even knowing there was green jell-o, Tequila and bananas available....
They try musicals on TV and they don't work. So what do they do... try more musicals....
(Here I am minding my own business.... blogging about TV musicals and what do I hear???)
"Sweetie can you do the Drano thing in my bathtub?"
This sounds like a simple thing... right? Let me take you through it ...
Steps to a successful Drano Thing implementation:
Find the Drano... again this sounds simple but it is far from simple. You see... we are in the process of having a garage sale. And by in the process I mean all the garage sale stuff is crammed in the garage
which has caused the mobile clothes hanging/stacking shelving unit to be moved into a non-movable position in front of the freezer thus occupying the space previously reserved for walking. This in turn shifted the location of the 35 gallon rodent proof galvanized trash can to the left next to and slightly obscuring the 3 five gallon bottles of bottled water which
is kinda redundant but without the bottles it would be a 15 gallon puddle of bottled water. Or I guess I could have said three 5 gallon bottles of water but then you, the reader, would not have been sure what type of water it was.... it could have been rain water we were saving for washing our hair or bath water we were saving to put on the garden next summer.
And no we don't save bath water or rain water but you would have been left up to your own devices to determine what kind of water it was and that would not be safe. I know some of you people and it scares me to think of letting you fill in the blanks.
The Drano should be on one of those shelves... but it's not... in fact the cans on the shelf are not in their proper place either. They should be divided first into ethnic categories then into types of food and lastly alphabetized.
The fact that they are not in their proper place stresses me on a daily basis. I can't even think about them, it would make me sick. DG would like them organized by expiration date but I keep telling her that if it is in a can the expiration date is just a suggestion. Canned goods last forever... right? Well I finally found the Drano it was one foot to the right and one foot forward of the position I was in when I took the pictures above.
Drano in hand I begin digging through the "products" under the kitchen sink in search of the "get
important stuff out of the garbage disposal/bathtub hair removal tool" This tool is indispensable to a home owner. I have actually considered making these and selling them on eBay. You can make your own using a wire coat hanger and a pair of side cutters.
The first thing you don't do when you get to the bathtub is... let me emphasize DO NOT poor the Drano in the drain. This will only cause the hair that is trapped to congeal into a mass of gooey harry gook that will not become entangled in the special tool and you will not be able to hold on to the gook with your fingers. And it will just get worse the longer the Drano sits there pooled up in the tub. First you want to use the tool to wind up as much hair from the drain as possible. Just pretend it is a big plate of spaghetti and the tool is
your fork. It is gross... it is nasty and it it totally wrong that a bald guy has been given this duty. Drag it all out of the drain and put it in a plastic zip lock bag. It makes it easier to chase the wife around the house with....
On a side note, I am beginning to think that Chewbacca from Star Wars is bathing at my house. This is the second time in a week and a half that I have been placed on Drano Thing duty.
Maybe CBS could try a TV Musical based on the musical Hair but using the characters from Star Wars. It won't work either but it will allow Viva Laughlin to be the next to the worst program ever created for TV.
