Conversation Snippet

Blog section that I will post when I find a part of an overhead conversation interesting, humorous, strange, etc. It's been quite some time since my last one.

Where: Oak Street, New Orleans
Between: a man and his posse

Conversation snippet:


Man: "You didn't know? All New Orleans street names are pronounced as if you're uneducated and half drunk."

Reality TV Shows: Buckwild

Sometimes I even judge myself for the caliber of television shows that I watch. I am a reality junkie who enjoys mindless hours of Real Housewives and Jersey Shore. These days, I've graduated from MTV and indulge mostly in Bravo. Yet, last night I slipped into the horrible abyss that is "Buckwild".

I wasn't planning on this to happen. I was watching NCIS and all of a sudden clicked down a channel to MTV. What was on? I'm still not even sure what it was, but Buckwild was the name. The first couple of minutes had to be scripted, badly scripted at that. And MTV plans on this show filling the Jersey Shore hole?

Didn't catch it? Here's a recap: underaged West Virginia kids who do stereotypical redneck things.

Some Buckwild quotes:

• "Muddin'" 
• "Justin Beaver" 
• "I don't even have to drive into the city to get my flirt on."

I'm sorry West Virginia that this show is associated with you. I'm just thankful it didn't take place in Louisiana. Dodged that bullet. I'm predicting this will be cut after one season (if it makes it that far).
