Super! Juicy! Details!
Last night was night one of Operation Get the Hell off the 'puter and Spend Some Time With the Man. The fun and excitement we shared is almost too steamy for one post. But, I'll try to keep it reader friendly. Heh.
We watched Survivorman on TLC. We drank a few beers. We were losers and went to bed (TO GO TO SLEEP) at 9:30.
The end.
We're SO EXCITING! Um, yeah.
Luckily, the evening certainly wasn't a waste of quality time! We learned a few survival skills in the (highly unlikely) event we're ever stuck in the Kalahari desert. Scorpions, once their stingers are removed, can be placed on a kabob, grilled, and eaten. Millipedes cannot be eaten as they are toxic (trace amounts of cyanide, apparently.) Your pee can be distilled for drinking. Beware of sleeping under trees because cape cobras could fall on your head. Also beware of sleeping on the ground where cape cobras and scorpions could crawl on you.
I hope you'll find this knowledge useful, as well. I sure slept just a leetle bit better knowing I could drink my pee (once distilled) in case I ever ran out of water. In the desert. And I was stranded. And I hadn't met my demise thanks to a cape cobra, scorpion, or millipede.
BlogHer '08 in the Kalahari anyone?
24 People are even more brilliant:
LOL! I was flipping channels and saw this...didn't know what he was eating, though (just know he didn't eat the head). Thanks for solving the mystery for me!
LOL Um no thank you. I was thinking somehwere a bit more liveable.
Glad to see Get To Know Your Mate Before 08 is going well.
We've been watching a lot of Man Vs. Wild lately (he's much cuter than Survivorman). I also find myself storing survival tidbits in my mental rolodex. You know, in case I'm ever stranded in the Australian Outback or the Costa Rican rain forest. You never know.
Summer TV sucks - my hubs hates the shows I like, I hate the shows he likes (Cops? Worlds most shocking police chases? etc)
So the computer is just so much more entertaining in the evenings :) I have my whole house decorated top to bottom browsing the home improvement sites - depressed myself in the process because for now these projects remain in my head lol!
ha! Planning your next vacation there?
It's probably not much hotter than here...
Actually, you don't need to distill your pee before you drink it. Fighter pilots and Army Rangers are taught to drink their own pee in cases where they may be shot down or stranded behind enemy lines. Pee is sterile (usually) so it'll tide you over. I guess. I've never tried it!
you went to sleep?
isn't it sad when that happens... if we leave the kids at my moms for a night alone, we almost always fall asleep! at least you got some rest!! :)
I find that since we had the 3rd kid, 2am seems to be the best time to "Spend Some Time With the Man" :P
I finally saw Survivorman last night but it was a different one. He ate bbqed lizard. I suprisingly liked his show to. He's no Bear Grilles though. That accent just makes my hiney tingle. Good for you for quality time! Hubs and I have had our quality time all week.
I'm totally there.
If you're trying to survive AND maintain your youthful appearance, apparently smooshing feces on your face will decrease the signs of aging. This according to my Baba (grandmother). Has yet to be tested...
"We watched Survivorman on TLC. We drank a few beers. We were losers and went to bed (TO GO TO SLEEP) at 9:30.
"The end."
Uhhh...did you leave out the "almost too steamy" part?
:)
Sounds like a fab evening to me.
Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Good.
oh sure - don't tell us HOW to distill it. LOL
Okay, so this is my first time on your blog but I can tell you that you've already been added to my Google Reader. Your hilarious and even better, I found you on Mom Blogs under Alabama Bloggers.
:::waves hello neighbor:::
Oh, I LOVE Les! Although he really got his butt kicked by the heat this time around. You guys had beer! That's more than I can say for my husband and I last night, as we watched it on TiVo. He sat as his computer and I sat on the couch. Romantic.
P.S. Bear Grilles is a poser. :)
Eating scorpions? Ew.
Sounds like a great evening to me! Good for you! IV has been begging me to spend more time with him lately- but when we do one of us falls asleep inevitably.
Sigh.... the joys of a 2 year old!
Even though Survivorman came first, I still prefer the show with Bear Gryls. He's hotter, and frequently strips down to nothing, requiring the fuzz to shadow his dangling privates.
Yum!
Ha. We watched it too! That pee distillery was pretty impressive.
No way! I don't even like walking in my backyard at night because a beetle might land on me. Can you see me in the Kalahari?
You have exciting evenings like us.
And did you really just use "pee" and "drink" in the same sentence twice? Ewww! :P
My hubby complains about the same thing... and then does the same thing! Quality time in front of the TV. Hmph. I would have been more productive in the blogger world.
