Which brings me to something I've asked myself before:
Why is it that nothing tickles my funny bone more than somebody busting their ass?
PSYCH 101 answer:
It's a reflection of my hatred/discomfort for my own vulnerability as well as a sigh of relief (Thank GOD there's someone who can make a complete and utter ass of themselves besides me.)
I'm really hard on myself. I have a perfection complex. Yet I'm far from it. I piss people off with my lateness (and get infuriated by other people's lateness because, let's face it, if you're later than me, you have truly crossed the limits of acceptability). I fart a lot. I'm so forgetful and disorganized that every year I make sure I have a colleague who is my designated handler. They tell me which meetings/workshops to show up for, upcoming holidays (so that I don't show up!) and other pertinent information that any teacher on staff can access via e-mail, but that just seems to escape my notice. I am so out to lunch when it comes to details that, once, after a lovely night at a jazz club, I put my key in a car, got behind the wheel, locked the doors and was about to start the ignition before I realized that it was not my vehicle.
Yeah, I'm one of those...
Still and all, I have this need to be perfect-- at least in the things I think I have half a chance at not screwing up. (We'll discuss those later). I'm exceptionally hard on myself-- especially when I feel I have let others down. And basically, yeah... the whole point is I enjoy watching people humiliate themselves.
I never saw the show either! I guess when we become moms we don't keep up with stuff like that as much! I will have to check it out! That picture is so cute!

Thanks! I love that pic of my daughter. That face cracks me up every time. And as far as TV, I'm not a TV person, so being out of the loop is nothing new for me! lol.
ReplyDeleteAdorable pic, she looks like she smelled something funny. Wipeout is me and my daughter's FAVORITE show. All you hear for an hour in this house is laughing and oooh that hurt. I think it's loosely based on the Japanese (not really sure) show Ninja Warrior. Comes on a station called G4. Although it's not as funny you can get a good chuckle now and then.
