"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

- Rick Warren
Hitting Myself on the Head With a Hammer

Not really. What I'm really doing is watching Bama Belles. But it's basically the same thing.

Pros: I'm watching it with Jill. I dig her, so that part is good.

Cons: It would take me infinity to list all the cons. Normally, I think of reality TV as a kind of cultural disease. Bama Belles, on the other hand, is like one of those diseases that consists of skin-eating bacteria, in which your eyes bleed and the calcium in your skull expands so that you become Elephant man until it finally crushes your brain and you, thankfully, die.

hilarious.

[Last night, I take a brief break from writing a paper. I walk into our living room where the wife is watching TV]
Me: What are you watching?
Wife: This is stupid.
Me: What is it?
Wife: Bama Belles.
Me: Is it like the "real housewives" shows?
Wife: Yeah. It's basically the same thing except far worse and it's on TLC.
Me: Why do you waste your life with this stuff?
Wife: [thinks to herself for a few seconds and then turns off the TV]

Sanity, ftw.

Wow. I saw commercials for that show while watching Sarah Palin's Alaska, which is pretty good (I hope I don't catch flak for that statement), and I would not have watched "Bama Belles" for a great many things. Now, I did want to watch Palin and her father take down a caribou, but that was 9:00 and I had to go home.

Bama? Belles? Sorry, but the name alone makes it impossible to care about it even slightly.

I'm with Dave on that one.

Raindream,
Sarah is a joke so I refuse to even think of watching her. I really upset a cashier when I said that to her after reading that she would be there for a book signing. Honestly I walked back by to find her sitting on the floor all upset. I hope you aren't having to sit on the floor.

If they had Jared here for a book signing I'd be in line first.

And once again, I have our decision not to have cable supported.
