Captain Picard or Captain Kirk?
Star Trek purists will argue that Captain Kirk is the better starship captain but I tend to disagree. Look at the facts: Captain Picard is well educated, an accomplished negotiator, and a tenacious explorer. He will find diplomacy in situations where there is none. In those same situations, Captain Kirk's response would have been to blow them up or sleep with them. Well, I suppose the latter is a form of diplomacy.
How I would produce "Survivor":
Enough already with the contrived games, tribal voting, and player immunity. If they are going to make a reality show called "Survivor", then they should make it a real survival show. This how I envision the next iteration of "Survivor": Drop 16 Americans somewhere in the Middle East wearing the Stars and Stripes. Whoever survives the car bombs, kidnappings, and beheadings wins the million dollars. "Survivor: Middle East: Outwit, Outplay, Outlive." Now that's reality television.
Are Jerry Springer's guests real or are they actors?
Is it possible that people are really THAT screwed up? Perhaps they are all actors and this is their way of breaking into showbiz. Either way, if you've had a bad day, watch this show for ten minutes and you'll feel better. No matter how terrible you think you have it, there's no way your life can be worse than those poor bastards on the show, actors or not.
Coffee Enema?
I think I first heard about this as a line in a movie but apparently, this procedure actually exists. An enema (or colonic) is supposed to be good for you as part of a detoxification program but I don't know much about it nor do I want to. I can't imagine putting anything inside my bum, let alone coffee. I suppose the only question that remains is regular or decaf?

So there you go. Another day, another list of crappy thoughts :)
