I've seen or read more stories about the controversial phone-jamming voting on "American Idol" than I remember seeing when President Bush was elected (or "elected" as some of you probably consider the result). Come on, people, it's just a TV show – and one that not everyone in the world gives a nilly rip* about.
Boo hoo, one of the top contestants was voted out, leaving one of the less wonderful ones in the Top 3. Even that contestant said it best after her performances – that by the time you get to the Top 4, they are all winners. That's a nod and wink to the fact that if anyone in the contest is worth their weight in salt, they'll be awarded some sort of record contract to pursue a music career.
Here's 10 things more important than "American Idol" ...
1. Rupert finally got his million bucks on "Survivor."
2. Once, when I was 11, I got the high score on Ms. Pac Man at the Pizza Hut.
3. We're finally getting our new shower installed (via moi) in our bathroom.
4. M&M candies are temporarily available in "Ogre" size (shameless Shrek 2 tie-in).
5. You don't have to pay a lot for a muffler.
6. Gasoline prices are approaching, surpassing or waving goodbye to the $2 mark. And here I am with two thirsty trucks.
7. Somewhere, if not everywhere, a kid really just needs a hug.
8. It's not easy being green.
9. I grilled some teriyaki chicken last night (along with some pineapple and, uh, hot dogs) and it was dee-lish-us.
10. Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset.
*I'm trying to make "nilly rip" the modern equivalent of "gag me with a spoon." Use it today, won't you?
Have good ones, Internet people.
Well, I don't give a nilly rip about your shower, but my dog needs flea prevention medication and I think that's pretty important. ;)
Here's one more for your list ~
This past weekend we raised nearly 3 million dollars for The American Cancer Society.
btw - I don't watch American Idle, so I'm out of the loop. I like being out of the loop. :-)
How about "anything"
i.e.
"Anything is better than American Idol"
I too could give a nilly rip about who gets voted off of American Idol.... And you don't have to pay alot for a muffler! But you do have to pay alot for the gas that runs the muffler....
Nilly rip - I like it!
I have never given a Nilly Rip about AI, So your top 10 rocked.
I need to come by more often. There's so much good stuff to learn here. Like nilly rip.
I have been addicted to "WB Superstar" where they tell all the good ones to take a hike and tell the people who suck that they rock. It is hilarious!
