Sister Wives Saturday Special

Squee! Sister Wives special tomorrow night! I should probably take this opportunity to reiterate that I don't give a crap what other people do in their bedrooms. What makes Sister Wives such a train wreck isn't exactly the polygamy, it's the couch-hopping insanity that Kody Brown brings to the table. He's just so annoyingly pleased with himself. He's exactly one Ed Hardy shirt away from hanging out at the tanning salon with Jon Gosselin.

Also? I predict that he will be on Dancing with the Stars within the next two years. You heard it here first, folks.

............................

Mom-In-A-Million and stark. raving. mad. mommy. are going to attempt to do a joint blog covering the Sister Wives special on Sunday night. Basically when we watch this kind of ridiculousness, we email each other our running commentary anyway. We actually kind of do that just at random, too, which is how we came up with the idea.

To give you an idea of exactly how technologically disordered we really are, as well as how insane our stream of consciousness is, we thought we should share this actual Instant Message stream where we decide this is some kind of good idea.

SRMM: Yeah, Uggs in hot weather are the female equivalent of Ed Hardy shirts.

MIAM: Ooo, speaking of Ed hardy shirts, there's going to be a 1 hour interveiw show with the Sister Wives on Sunday!

SRMM: Squee! One of my readers lives in Utah. I told her she should dress her kids as Kody and the wives for Halloween.

MIAM: The only problem is I'm supposed to be boycotting TLC because they're showing Sarah Palin's reality show/campaign special thing. But I think I should watch anyway. For science.

SRMM: Obviously we're going to HAVE to watch the Sister Wives thing. I think your boycott allows for TiVo, no?

MIAM: Maybe I'll live blog it.

SRMM: I've always wanted to "live blog". Doesn't it require additional software? OH, DUDE. You and I should do a back-and-forth live blog. Or does that require some kind of additional software?

MIAM: No, when we did the MommyLand After Dark: The T-Box Taste Test, Lydia wrote the outline then just added in the comments on the wine and kept hitting "update".

SRMM: Like, just email each other our comments and then format it as a blog for later. Wait, Blogger has "update"?

MIAM: Doesn't it? Like when you edit a post and republish it?

SRMM: Oh, yeah, it's "publish". Although then it loads fresh in everyone's email over and over. Which probably annoys the hell out of people in the morning.

MIAM: Oh. I wonder if that happens with Wordpress too. Maybe live blogging is a bad idea.

SRMM: Crap, what time is it on, though? We have trick-or-treating Sunday, of course.

MIAM: 10 p.m., I think.

SRMM: Ohhh sweet. That is awesomely 9 p.m. here.

MIAM: Is that after bedtime?

SRMM: Yeah, the kids are down by then. Especially with Cookie now on Clonidine. ::zonk::

MIAM: Maybe it could be a drinking game! Everytime one of the wives cries, drink! Do a tequila shot whenever Kody cries!

SRMM: Bahahahahahaha! Ooooooh, that, or we could live Tweet it. We could "host" a tweet party.

MIAM: Yes! Live Tweeting! Then publish the Twitter stream!

SRMM: GAAHHHHHH you're a genius. What's the hashtag? #SWDG? (Sister Wives Drinking Game?)

MIAM: Wait. I strongly suspect a Twitter party will be beyond my abilities. Especially if I'm drinking. Which seems important if I'm going to watch Kody for an hour.

SRMM: Hmm. Yeah. We might be too stupid to do that. It might look something like this:


MIAM: OMG. I just thought of an amazing reality show: Sister Wife Swap.

SRMM: It's amazing that we're not running the networks. Also? I think we've already written a post here. ::cutting and pasting::

MIAM: It’s amazing we’re not running the world.

  5. Totally off the subject...
    Last night as I was throwing dinner on the table, My middle two were doing a little routine together. Took me a minute to realize why it sounded familiar before I started LMAO:

    E: GERMS! GERMS!
    A: Wash your hands!
    E: GERMS! GERMS!
    A: I understand!

    And then it continued to go downhill...

    E: GERMS! GERMS!
    A: Go get the soap!
    E: GERMS! GERMS!
    A: I'm not the pope!
    E: GERMS! GERMS!
    A: Go get a rope!

    And so on and so forth and downhill from there. When I read that post (just getting home from living in the NICU for a while where we were all constantly washing our hands) they watched that terrifying little video over my shoulder. They turned it into sort of a pre-touching-the-baby theme song. Apparently if it's got a big doofy bear and some really bad rap in it my kids are on board and will remember it for, like, evah. Gee thanks.

  7. Glad to know I am not the only one watching that train wreck that is Sister Wives OR doesn't really like the whole thought of the Sarah Pallin special, I actually grind my teeth at the commercials for it.

    I will be watching your site and twitter for the commenting on sunday - am looking forwards to it now!!!

  8. See, now the Family Guy satire is what I remember from The Electric Company. The one with Morgan Freeman in all his soul glory.

    Too bad I don't watch Sister Wives. It's too close to my bed time and it would likely piss me off into insomnia.

  9. Wait. They can't wear 20th century clothes but they can have a Bump-it?

  10. @Penny -- I KNOW. I'm not sure about the logic behind that. Plus, it would take some serious Aqua Net to get my hair to do that. So Aqua Net is OK, but not makeup?

  11. Totally boycotting TLC due to Sarah Palin, so no Sister Wives for me. However, I'll follow your blog and get a sense of what's going on and I already have figured out what a douche Kody is.

  12. Seriously I don't even know whats up with "I'm not the pope." We're not Catholic. I don't think they know what the hell a pope is. Young minds can be frightening....

  13. You need to do a post like this but with The Big Bang Theory, I heard one of the characters is supposed to be an Aspie.
