The last two nights, I've sat in the easy chair Mrs. Bulba moved to the living room during my absence last weekend, surfing channels and eating a mixture of food items that were apparently appealing at the time but take on the coyote ugly texture in the light of the following day. Seriously, dates, dry cereal, popcorn, and olives. I need an intervention.
Watched a smattering of the Olympics off and on but any hint of figure skating drives me to the farthest channel. Included last night we had:
1. Some program about Marine snipers. Basically, they have to gauge wind, etc. and haul around a seriously heavy load of shit. Also, they can kill very effectively.
2. The "Dog Whisperer" guy. Really, what he does is to go into people's homes and politely declares, "You people are pussies" and then shuts their idiot dogs up and makes them mind. After he leaves, the pathetic individuals revert back to their whining and the dogs resume mindless barking. My old man didn't need the services of a guy like the Dog Whisperer. He had a whispering technique of his own when it came to barking dogs: a half brick thrown to the side of the head. Say what you want, but whenever the dog even thought about barking, it would make a quick glance to see if the old man was around.
3. "Pawn Stars." I enjoy this show. It's a little bit of "Antiques Roadshow" without having to put up with NPR types in birkenstocks.
4. "Archer" on the FX channel. This is the find of the year, thus far. I had seen it a few times before, but they ran three episodes back to back and it is outstanding. It's a hilarious cartoon send up of the whole spy genre with highly topical and irreverent dialogue. Kind of hot, too, especially the female agent, Lana Kane, voiced by Aisha Tyler . I want her.

I agree with you about Pawn Stars. Laughed my ass off during the episode when they bought the helicopter.
Think about it: why the hell would a pawn shop buy a helicopter?
