Reality show meme

[vanillafluffy]

If you could make your own reality show, what would it be about and who would be on it?

I know what reality show I want to be on: Life Makeover, which would be an extreme combo of several self-improvement shows. They come in for a month, clean and repair the house from stem to stern, and while that's going on, do a full-scale makeover, from fixing my teeth (We're talking implants, here), LASIK, clothes, hair and makeup, and financial and job counseling with intensive resume work. Oh, and overhauling or upgrading my car. Let's not forget that.

Four weeks real-time, four episodes air-time, and by the end, I would be fabulous, my house would be immaculate, and I'd have an awesome job and an amazing ride.

*sigh* If only!

I'd make one about motor racing, specifically the level we work at, but no one would believe we weren't making it all up...

I think most people feel that way about their jobs. Even the ones that don't come in contact with the general public still have at least one deranged co-worker....

My vote would be for "Life Skills Bootcamp," in which participants are taught how to balance a checkbook, do and stick to a budget, cook, do basic hand sewing, paint a room, change the oil, tires and spark plugs for their car, plant a garden and do very simple home repairs.

I'm competant at about half that stuff. But sign me up for the rest of it, and include a unit on cleaning and organizing---I'm so there!

I guess I'll have to start my own TV channel when I win the Lotto---or at least hire you away from St P's for a while to help me get my act together!

If you get your own TV channel, I'll offer you first dibs on my "Cooking Within Your Means" cooking show. :)

Sounds like a plan!

*snort* 'Parenting for the Anti-social' should be mine.

Or 'Parenting for Geeks'.

Brilliant. And thanks for today's meme. :)

I saw it somewhere and knew the answer right off the top of my head, because it's one of my favorite fantasies.

[jdsgirlbev.livejournal.com]

omg VF, where can I sign up for YOUR show!???

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

If I knew, I would! And if I ever win the lottery and start my own network, you'll be second in line, right behind me!

[jdsgirlbev.livejournal.com]

Well, the lottery here on Wednesday is 43 million...If we win it, you got your COMPLETE makeover, my treat, and we'll film both of us getting "re-done", just because!! :D

Booya! I'll start packing! ;)

[tsita.livejournal.com]

For that to happen, I'd need to move out of my parents home.

And at one point, my brother and his daughter also lived with us. In a 3 beddroom late 40s early 50s ranch.

Add a dog and a cat and you'd have my family.

I never left the nest, I inherited it---which is part of the problem, since I've lived here since 1974 and I'm an avowed packrat....

Mom and dad only knew each other for about three weeks before they got married. Pops was a machinist's mate in the Navy and was stationed in Spain. Mom moved over there for about a year. We've got a good two dozen gold leaf paintings from her time there. Then they lived in Connecticut. Moved back here about a year before I was born.

We've got a working Victrola, a large china cabinet that my great grandmother bought from a hotel that was going out of business for 2.50. There's mom's dishes--all four sets, plus the ones that usually decorate the walls in the kitchen--one from every woman in the family. Some we have to be careful when we wash--they might dissolve. The eight-track tape players, stacks of vinyl, my crap, their crap, Imp's crap. I stay I'll just stay til they die, 'cause it'll be easier to sort through it all.

Keep telling them that if they take too long, I'll just poison 'em.

Which brings to mind a bit of filk:

Black Widows in the Privy

Everyone knows someone we'd be better off without,
but best not mention names, for we don't know who's about.
Why commit a murder, and risk the fires of Hell
when black widows in the privy will do it just as well?
Now, poison's good, and daggers, and arrows in the back
and if you're really desperate you can try a front attack---
but are they really worthy of the risk of being caught
when black widows in the privy need not be bribed or bought?
So if there's one of whom you wish most simply to be rid,
just wait til dark and point the way to where the widow's hid,
and say to them "I think you'll find that this one is the best"---
and black widows in the privy will gladly do the rest.
