A Discerning Palate

Last night the GM1 and I were channel-surfing and wound up watching an HBO documentary "Showgirls: Glitz and Angst." It followed the progress of a pack of dancers in preparation for a new Las Vegas show. It featured lots of backstage drama, enormous feather headpieces, and a multitude of bare breasts.

The GM1 watched it like he was a high school senior and the answers to the SATs were imprinted on each nipple.

"If all that reality stuff, you know, that "Big Brother" and "Survivor" shit, if it were like this," he commented thoughtfully, "I bet a lot more people would watch it.
I sure would."

Look out, Ebert and Roeper.

I'm slow. What does 'GM1' stand for?

Sorry, I forget sometimes everyone doesn't speak Cheese. :)
The GM1 is my husband. It's his rate/rank in the Navy. (Gunner's Mate First Class) I use it because he prefers his anonymity and because he hates his first name.

You know, I can't help but agree with his assessment...

Zowie, Ted, I thought you were one of the whippersnappers. :)

LOL "I started young" or "it's a state of mind". Take your pick.
