I just saw a promo for a reality show, where they are going to drop a middle-class family in the middle of Ro-day-O drive and let them shop and live for a year - a take off on the Beverly Hillbillies or something? what the hey?

Damn I need a gated mansion and cement pond. (And a Ellie May to wrassel with)

Firstly, is that your actual email address there Cory? Boiledchicken.com, heh..

Secondly, I got a note about this show through my People.com update (via Reuters). Here's their take on it:

Oh, it sounds awful! I love it.

I must be on this show. I live in Tennessee, so I've got a good shot . . . except that I'm not (I mean, um, I ain't) really from here originally and I don't have the accent (but I can fake it!) and I don't live in a shotgun shack or a trailer (though I could probably find one and fake it, if that means I get to live in a mansion and go shopping). Hmmm . . . there has to be a way to make this work . . .
