Comic Sans: Satisfying all your retaliatory needling urges since 1995

This post is not just for those of you who like to wail about consistency and productivity during a period of time when you have little to do. *ahem*

No, friends, this post is for all of you reality TV whores who share in my excitement over the beginning of a new season of Survivor. Twelve new weeks of lying, cheating, backstabbing, whining, and bickering begin tonight. Twenty (not sixteen, this time) new personalities to loathe, and discuss in the office how much you loathe them because they are so loathsome. And stupid.

As usual, I have subjected myself to certain frustration and disappointment by tossing my name and money into the Survivor Office Pool (SOP) hat. Unusual is the fact that PDawg’s name also appears in the very same hat. And if you thought that this blog wasn’t big enough for the both of us, I cannot wait to share with you the trials and tribulations of sharing a hat with her…with an exorbitant amount of money at stake (thousands upon thousands of cents).

To keep things fair and balanced, Survivors are assigned to SOP participants using the Random Drawing Technique (RDT). This season’s SOP RDT has yielded the greatest travesty of justice since I was given props. Call it what you will, but when PDawg (an SOP virgin) manages to wind up with Hot and Hotter, while I get stuck with Broomhilda and Blondie, I find cause to climb to the rooftop and yell, "BULLSHIT."

Perhaps using her penchant for gambling to con her into watching Survivor with me was an error in judgment. Either way, Thursdays are about to get interesting around here.
