Rock Of Love Bus Finale And Other Musings

I totally knew Bret was going to pick Taya. How? Because the whole episode was skewed to make us think he was leaning towards Mindy. Plus, Taya kept her legs closed, so Bret had to choose her in order to get some. Well played.

The last four weeks have been brutal. Ever since Britanya and Ashley got sent home the remaining girls have been boring as fuck. I get it...the whole purpose of the show is to make Bret look like he's not a huge douchebag (fail), so he's got to keep the "good girls". Although ultimately choosing the ambiguously slutty former-stripper-turned-classy-centerfold was pretty transparent. He's banking on the fact that she's a freak when the cameras are off. Which she probably is.

Plus...Mindy? Seriously? No man wants a pouty bitch, and Mindy is as pouty as they come. But she put out. Hmmmm. Must not have been that good.

Congrats, Taya. You've won yourself a makeup-wearing aging diabetic rock star with a wandering eye. Great success!

After how much this season sucked, I'm over it. So is my sister. Holla!

In other TV news, Paris Roubaix was awesome. It brings me great joy to know that Boonen can win races even when he's (presumably) not coked up. It's also nice to see a rider who made his career as a sprinter win a race in a solo break, though this ability seems to have come at the expense of his sprinting prowess. It would have been fun to see the final group of 6 come into the velodrome together, but the crashes sure added excitement to the race.

One thing I noticed was that it seems like a lot of the pros have their saddles really low and there is a huge bend in their knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke. This goes against pretty much everything I've read about bike fit. What's the deal? I've gotta get to the bottom of this.

Even more TV news...I saw the absolute worst kids' show this morning. Special Agent Oso is a bear ("Oso" = "Bear" in spanish...get it??? Ha! Clever.) who helps kids learn how to do menial tasks like brush their teeth and play hide-and-seek. The only problem is that the fucking bear doesn't know how to do any of these things, and relies and a computer to teach him how to do it. Seriously, who did this moron bear suck off to get promoted to "Special Agent" when he is clearly unfit for the task? Oh, and the theme song..."He's Oso special!"...makes him sound like he should be sitting in a corner somewhere drooling on himself.

Even my kids thought it was lame, and they love anything animated.

OK, I'm done.
