The Most Popular Grandparents in the Country

I've decided to start writing about my pet peeves. I seem to have a lot of them and, pet peeves is a theme that can pretty much be applied to whatever I want to write about.

One of my pet peeves is when people complain about government programs without offering any solution. Finally, a loving couple in West Virginia has decided to lead the way in Social Security reform.

Apparently, a 78 year old grandmother and her 72 year old live in boyfriend have been arrested for selling Marijuana. That's right they're drug dealers. Really though, who can blame them? Can you think of a better way to supplement your income after retirement?

You can travel around the country in your Winnebago selling Mariuana to all your buddies at the KOA campsites. I won't be surprised if the next AARP magazine starts promoting this lifestyle as a way to fix social security. Pretty soon the executives at Mary Kay will be accepting jobs in the new Marijuana dealing multilevel marketing company for seniors.

There you have it, sell Marijuana, save Social Security.

Is anyone else tired of seeing talking babies on TV? When I was about 14, I remember seeing Look Who's Talking. That was the last time a talking baby was funny. Look Who's Talking Again wasn't funny, and does anyone even know that there was a Look Who's Talking Three?

I have an idea, why don't we somehow incorporate talking babies into the "hit" show Numbers (see "The Numerators Strike Back")? Now wouldn't that be great. Maybe the baby could be a rainman type character. You know, you drop a box of toothpicks and the baby says 232. When you count the toothpicks, you realize there are really are 232 toothpicks on the ground.

Speaking of "hit" shows, what qualifies a show as hit show? Somehow I don't think that the better business bureau is paying close enough attention to the way networks label their shows. There should be stricter standards in place that regulate the the association of "hit" with a TV show. They wouldn't even have to be strict rules. Here are few just off the top of my head that would eliminate 95% of shows from being considered "hits"

1. Show must be on for more than two weeks.
2. Show must be viewed by more than two people each week.
3. Show must require an IQ of more than 22 to follow.

That's it. Most shows don't pass this test. Sadly enough, I talk big game, but all three regular readers of this site know that I will watch anything. Some would characterize my television viewing habits as laziness or escapism. I like to think of it as more of a talent.

I can lay in one position and barely lift a finger for over three hours while watching TV. Not many people can do that. Even if I have to go to the bathroom, I will just lay there watching. It doesn't even have to be good TV. Almost any show is sufficient. I can watch the TV Guide station for hours at time.

I have been thinking about redirecting my attention to books, but I am still undecided.
