You Can Be A STAR!

I admit, I always look at what good can come of something before I see what bad might happen, but that's because I want good things to happen. It seems that some of you always see the glass as 3/4 empty because you know the tapered cup has more volume in the top half and you feel like they're trying to pull one over on you by using inches to determine half way. In my opinion a glass with something in it is better than nothing. Before the pessimists skew what something is, it's edible, but yours can be full of sand or poop or whatever you think they might try to feed you.

Your last analogy lost me. If you're condoning the eating of sand or poop out of a tapered 3/4 empty glass, I'm glad I didn't get it.

If that was not your intention, could you rephrase?

What I meant was my glass is one quarter full of something edible. I felt that if I didn't clearly define what something was, creative suggestions would follow.

This is what im picturing in my head how the show will go.

Host: So tell me about how the reptiles are affecting your lives?

Wife: He dun bought some snakes and they is stinkun up the house.

Husband: My darn snakes is not stinkun up the house.

Wife: And he feeds them dead frozen rats that he keeps in the freezer
under the grits.

Husband: Dats what day eats woman!

Wife: DOO HUH?

And then a fight breaks out and chairs are thrown everywhere.

I am the type of person who has a glass half full mindset. That mindset is also programmed to ensure self-preservation. I also think realistically. I also look down the line to how something can affect me long term. I also am a risk taker - I scuba dive in cold water, ride a motorcycle, date, and juggle knives, just to name a few. However, I take calculated risks. And this program, featuring spats between married couples and their "snake keeping problem" -- the risks far outweigh the benefits in light of the legislature going around about pythons and boas.

*I don't juggle knives, but the others are true. ;)

Well, SOMEONE is gonna do it. I'll bet that Richard Heene, (Balloon Boy's Dad) is out buying a snake right now.

There are many like the op who seem to need attention. To the point of whoredom.

I too have no doubt someone will do this.

I have no doubt that had her husband not had to good sense to check out early we'd be seeing deb in all her glory. [-snip-] but oh so happy to be the center of attention, her dream come true.

[-snip-]

eh, this wont make it far enough to get to that episode. Its produced by seinfeld. That almost qualifies for immediate cancellation.
