I'm "It" Again...
Greetings Tag Fans!
My pal Sherry has tagged me.
This one’s about guilty pleasures…I wanted to ensure that I did this right, so I searched on the web for a good definition of “Guilty Pleasures”. This guy, Dean, had a pretty good explanation. The thing about it is that one should sort of be embarrassed by the item, as it may be perceived as “…lowbrow, or unintelligent, or uncool.” I’m not sure if I’d say that I’m overly embarrassed of much of the stuff that I’m into…That being said…without further ado…Here are the ones I’ll share…
- TV ~ The sheer amount of television that I watch is alarming and, I suppose, somewhat embarrassing…If I could, I would watch TV all the time (movies too)…I’d never leave the house if I didn’t “have to”…I love to watch most Reality TV stuff…largely to see how people’s true nature still comes through…even though they know they’re being observed…I also enjoy watching “24”…I shouldn’t, but it’s just so darn exhilarating! Highly improbable scenarios are wedged into a 24 hour period…Jack Bauer’s the only one who you’re pretty sure won’t die…but eventually, he might get smoked…It’s what they call “crack TV”…
- Baked Goods…Banana Chocolate chip cake in particular…Chocolaty baked goods…Oh baked goods…Why must you taunt me so?
- Howard Stern…there are a lot of people who don’t get why I like the show so much…I challenge anyone to name a better interviewer. I am not really embarrassed about it, but I do find myself often having to defend myself for liking it. A lot of the ladies I know claim that they wouldn’t have guessed that a fellow as sophisticated, enlightened and classy as myself would enjoy The Howard Stern Show…
- UFC Events ~ I enjoy ordering Pay-per-view Ultimate Fighting Events and inviting pals over to watch. We talk shit and eat unhealthy foods and drink unhealthy drinks…while we watch grown men beat each other into submission or unconsciousness. It’s great fun!
- Laptop ~ Spending any free time I may have at home using my laptop…while watching TV…I suspect that my sperm may be further damaged in some way because of this…Said laptop is used for all sorts of things…some productive and others not-so-much…
I have pre-tagged Nicki for this one…
Beatdogg said he’d do it too…
I’ll see if Keeks and Gobbles are up for it too…
How about Stringman?
Are you up for another tag, gang?
(My good pal Keeks had a pretty cool idea for the soundtrack of your life. I will be doing it very soon, but you’re invited to check it out and say “hi” to Keeks…if you’re interested. Once I get this latest tag done and post some of my recent thoughts, I’ll be all over that)…
There’s a lot of Stern news to report…His interview with Martha Stewart’s daughter Alexis the other day was great! She answered pretty much all of his questions.
Yesterday they played some clips from the Adult Video News Awards…a highlight from that was when host Craig Fitzsimmons said:
I hear they’re about to recognize “Best Double Anal Scene”…Listen, any woman who’s willing to put two dicks in her asshole…Give her a plaque! Give ‘em all a plaque! I’m married now…so I’m lucky to get single vaginal.
Anyway, there’s a guy’s site where he transcribes each Stern show…if you’re interested.
I saw “The Aristocrats” last night…(Not to be confused with Disney's "The Aristocats"...That would be a huge mistake!). Maybe I'll post more details when I have more time…I think that I had built it up so much that I was mildly disappointed at first…but it’s quite funny… I used to watch A&E’s “An Evening at the Improv” every night when I was younger…So I recognized many of the less popular comics in the film…There’s some dry stuff, as can be expected when comedy is being discussed…Why is that? Sometimes people try to break down why stuff is funny…that’s not funny…But I recommend it if you like filthy humour…and the discussion of it…
Basically the joke is about a family act that goes to an agent’s office to try to get him to book them…Then you throw in as many filthy and disgusting acts as you can…then the joke ends with the agent asking what the act’s called…the answer: The Aristocrats! Ta da!
This one guy I’ve never seen before cracked me up with almost everything he said…Writer/Producer Dana Gould…
Some people, when they tell it, really focus on the fecal matter. Other people really focus on the incest. And, to me, in my own personal life…those two are rarely, if ever separate.
Buy it or rent it today!!!
That’s it for now.
Your Pal,
Zambo.

Hey Zam, is there a term in the blogging world for butting in on a tag...doing a tag without being tagged? Hmmm...
Here's my song:
"You Get What You Give" by the Brand New Radicals. Helped me through college and still helps me now. This is the part that hits home:
But when the night is falling
And you cannot find the light
If you feel your dream is dying
Hold tight
You've got the music in you
Don't let go
You've got the music in you
One dance left
This world is gonna pull through
Don't give up
You've got a reason to live
Can't forget you only get what you give
hey Zambo..i'll get to that tag sooon..soon soon soon! i've got some sunshine callin my name right now tho..haha...11:38 am..and i'm already done work for the DAY! woooo!!
I love the UFC too,with a mad passion.
Hubby got me into it,and now I'm a rabid fan.
Hi Gang.
I appreciate the comments...I think my content got a little "risqué" on this post...
Sherry
The laptop is a great invention...but a harsh mistress. Stringman seems to be an accommodating chap.
S*
Unfortunately I don't think I'm familiar with too much of the blog lingo...but you're free to comment as you wish here...(I wouldn't have figured you to be a big fan of that song for some reason...If I had to guess a song that I thought might have been influential to you, that one wouldn't have come to mind)...
Also, I realize that you're busy at the moment or I would have tagged you...
Nicki
I don't blame you for enjoying the sunshine. Thanks for doing the tag.
Keeks
Work hasn't been my favourite place to be lately either...Thanks again for doing that tag...(I'm still working on the sountrack idea...There are so many songs and so many ways to associate them with moments in one's life)...
Ms. L
I wouldn't have guessed that you'd be into the UFC...but you did mention wanting to knock a guy's block off the other day...I think that's great!
Take care, pals!
Your Chum,
Zambo.
P.S.
I thought I'd mix it up a little at the end there...Variety...spice of life...etc.
dear zambo,
it is true..the whole variety...spice of life..bla bla bla...but some things are just too good to mess with :)
P.S Take Care Out There :P heehhe
Ok "Z" -- I've finally done my tag post (smile).
Oh an a guilty pleasure to add to the list? Spending the entire day in bed (alone or with another -- depends upon how guilty your pleasure really is -- lol)
Have a GREAT weekend!
Hey! I like this one, I may do this one without being tagged LOL! I just got a laptop and have not used it for anything yet but downloading pictures from my camera. I will have to join you and Sherry and start using that laptop huh?
OH and BTW...my name is Mel and I am a TVoholic. Also a blogoholic.
Guilty pleasures. Wow ... This could get messy.
1. I, too, suffer from an unhealthy love of baked treats. My particular vice is butter tarts and nanaimo bars, two of the sweetest, fattiest baked treats known to mankind. I've eaten ridiculous quantities of these things in my life. You know what's funny? I'll probably be surprised when I become diabetic, too. I'll be all like, "Now how in the hell did THIS happen?!"
2. Fast food. I love fast food, damnit, and I feel guilty as hell about it, but it's just so ... fast. And so ... tasty. My problem is that I always say to myself, "Well, fast food once in a while can't be bad for me." And I am capable of saying this every single day.
3. Pornography. I'm smart enough to know that pornography hurts women, but selfish enough to keep looking at it. There's a special place in Hell for wishy-washy types like me.
4. Science fiction. I always feel a bit guilty, or at least embarrassed, when someone asks me what kinds of books I like, and I say science fiction. It's not all "robots and martians," but sometimes it is ... so I can't even pretend that I'm into something highbrow like "speculative fiction". (I always hated that phrase.) Look at Gene Wolfe... he's a sci-fi writer, but he's got to be one of the best authors alive today in any field.
5. I have a sick fascination with guns. You know all about this, Zambo. On one hand, private ownership of guns should probably be banned outright in any civilized country ... but I want one... they're just so cool. I would only shoot bad guys, I promise.
6. Action movies. The dumber the better (or at least, I used to think so, until I watched "Transporter 2")...
7. Last but not least, feeling sorry for myself. I get so much pleasure out of it... it's like my hobby or something. I gotta kick that habit, but it's just so addictive. And besides, if I don't feel sorry for myself, who else is going to do it?
alright you fuckers... i'm drunker than a freakin priest with a guilty consicinece so now seems like as good a time as any to list my guilty pleasrrues typoes and all... ok
1) 24 - I share this addiciton with Zambo... "24" is basically a soap opera geared towards men... like, we men pretty much oopenlly mock soap operas for their retarded storylines, unrealistic portrrayals of the world and ricdiculous, over the top plotlines, but "24" has taken that same approach and applied it to espionage... so instead of freakin Marlene having an affair with her priest while she's pregnantwith her stepdad's child, which may or may not be the heir to the Steinberg family fortune depending on whether the guy who's in a coma comes out of it, we get Jack Bauer saving the whole freeakin world from nuclear/biological/muslim-caused annihilation roughly every 12-15 minutes while trying to maintain romantic relationships and steer his daughter down the right path so she doesn't become a worthless crack whore or end up stuffed in a trunk in some ditch somewhere. This is usually accomplished by downloading arcane pieces of data across cell phones and hacking into power grids, international databases and CIA-protected software within the space of minutes, but somehow your brain glides right past these ludicrous obstacles and you end up concentrating ins tead on how Jack is goin to kill this guy with a ziplock bag and a popsicle stick. Sounds ridiculous, roght? Wrongo, my friend. This show is literally eyeball crack. Your eyes will ache and shrivel up if you miss one week of 24...
I'll post the res later, i'm too drunk right now... also, Zambo and Gobs, I have some big news to share with you bastards... later, fuggers
Thanks for taking on the tags, everybody!
I appreciate all the delightful comments and postings.
Hopefully things are running smoothly wherever you are.
Nicki,
You are too cool for school!
Ra and Mel,
I wasn't sure if I should have tagged you twice in a row...before you had done the first tag...(But I thought about it)...
Gobbles,
I share most of your guilty pleasures...We'll be insulin buddies in the nursing home with Beatdogg...(if we live that long)...8th Dwarf and "Rhymes with Poo" can take care of us 'cause they seem healthier...(Sadly, Lasagna lives an active, healthy lifestyle...so we'll probably outlive her)...
Beatdoggie,
Anyone who knows Beatdogg and has seen him in "drunken mode" will tell you that he's pretty funny...But when he gets ahold of a keyboard...look out! Plus, gotta love the cliffhanger...(It's like the end of an episode of "24" where they divide the screen to show four differnet scenes at once and the clock beeps)...
Gotta check the e-mail for this "big news"...
Take care out there!
Your Pal,
Zambo.
How's this for a guilty pleasure. I haven't owned a tv in ages coz I just don't watch it. But when one's around...it's Reality TV all the way for me.
Saturday, I actually watched several back to back episodes of a VH1 show where "women" (hoes, hoochies, crazyladies) were competing to be with Flava Flav. Yes, Flava Flav. Of the big clock around his neck fame. (I think Beatdogg said he used to have one of those himself). And I was thoroughly amused.
