Stupid questions

Sting: I am 65 Howard. I accept that I am mortal and have lived most of my life.
Howard: Do you welcome death?
Sting: No Howard. I do not want to die

Robin: I have been thinking about the Women's March. I don't know what they are protesting. Same for the Black Lives Matter. What are they protesting? [Robin. Have you gone completely white? Aren't they mostly protesting unarmed black guys getting shot and killed by white cops without provocation?...]

Yeah, Howard is constantly letting his neuroses affect his questioning. If he interviews an actor who passed-up on a successful movie, Howard's convinced the actor must harbor regret for years after. And Robin's just a fucked-up person.

With the "Patriots" vs the "Falcoons" in today's Super Bowl, I wonder if Daniel Carver will be watching.

I am not a Bachelor watcher but by chance I caught the last part of the last episode, the part that Howard was talking about today. It was truly amazing... in the sense that it was indistinguishable from the Bachelor parody UnREAL on Lifetime. The Bachelor is on a goofy double date on a beach. He is talking to one of his dates who is dressed in a goofy outfit and sitting on a wall. Tells her to he has to do something... I thought that was it for her. He goes to the second lady who is regally stretched out on a goofy canopied bed on the beach. Great hair. He proceeds to tell her how wonderful she is which is why is cannot be with her. She asks if he thinks the other date is capable of a relationship. Huh? Switch to the house where the other ladies are waiting for the outcome. A beefy guy comes in and removes a suitcase, presumably, the dumpee's, and they all gasp. Switch to the beach. One would expect the dumpee on the canopied bed to be helicoptered out. No. The Bachelor, in full view of the dumpee, gets on a departing helicopter with the other lady, leaving the dumpee crying and proclaiming that the other lady is incapable of a relationship. Back to the house. The Bachelor enters. He gives a tearful speech to the effect that he does not think he can find a wife in the present setup and walks off to his bedroom leaving some of the remaining ladies in tears. Had this been UnREAL the producers would have been gleeful at the twist of events but scrambling to figure how the quest was going to continue.

The actual Bachelor stopped in briefly near the end of the show. He seemed like a nice-enough guy. But the whole show is a train-wreck, like so many of the reality shows. The odd thing about Howard is that he's been a fan for years, yet he's only now asking the obvious questions about the show that defy logic:
What do any of them do for a living?
What kind of person would have instantly intense feelings for another?
How is the show anything like real life?
Why would all these obviously attractive young people need to whore themselves out like this?

Howard's ability to suspend logic - for the sake of entertainment - far exceeds mine. The moment I see one of these contrived reality situations, or a superhero show, or zombies, or a formulaic CSI type show, I'm out.

I vigorously recommend the Bachelor parody UnREAL on Lifetime. It's funny as hell and gives you a certain appreciation for what goes into the production of the Bachelor.

As in "a person who got dumped". Someone taking a dump would be dumper. Someone dumping a "date" would also be a dumper. I suppose a piece of shit might be termed a dumpee also.


I caught it on History of Howard, but when Robin was reading a story about the OJ trial, she mentioned something about "how it might taint the evidence" which sent Jackie into hysterics.
