Heresy

[bjarvis]

I just don't get 'reality' TV shows. I find them as entertaining as vacuuming the living room, yet I seem to be the only person left not held in thrall by Survivor, The Apprentice or Project Runway.

Ridiculous assignments given by self-righteous superiors to minor league bitchy queens. I see that at work daily... why would anyone want to watch it on TV on their own time?

things we don't get

I don't get golf, either.

I mean, I understand how it works, what I don't get is why. It's human fetch (the human hits the ball, the human fetches the ball, lather/rinse/repeat). It's tidying up -- you take the little ball and put it in the little hole.

(and I really don't get golf on teevee)

I actually took golf in college (that'd be "in university" to you Canadians) for a Phys Ed credit. I got an A even though my ball exploded in mid-air during the "final".

Golf is just an excuse for men to get away from their wives and walk around for a while. Think about it - how many gay golfers do you know?

You took golf. For University credit. Towards a post-secondary degree. Golf.

Did your academic institution also offer underwater basketweaving for academic credit?

well that's amusing enough, in a "my dog ate my homework" way, though presumably you had witnesses to this untoward event.

only one, but his golfball exploded in mid air and I don't think he golfs now. Acksherly, the "getting away from the little woman" explanation does make some kind of sense.

But it doesnt explain Golf TV.

My other Phys Ed credit was fencing. I figured as a theatre major I might need them - one on-stage, one for schmoozing.

My Dad watches a lot of golf on TV, but I think that's just his code for "taking a nap" since he watches most of it with his eyes closed.

oooh, how swashbuckling! did you get to wear tights and a tricorn hat too? Are there photos, with/without the Errol Flynn costume? Enquiring minds need to know!

I don't question the logic of your choices, by any means.

"The Scots, who invented bagpipes and called it 'music', and who invented haggis and called it 'food', also invented golf and called it 'fun'."

(Golf TV has the same soporific effect on me)
