<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 469px"><a href="http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/tarpara/WindowsLiveWriter/MicrosoftBoyLaunchesPlanstoSubmitHomewor_E1BE/boy%20watching%20tv_2.jpg"><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/tarpara/WindowsLiveWriter/MicrosoftBoyLaunchesPlanstoSubmitHomewor_E1BE/boy%20watching%20tv_2.jpg" alt="Eye On The Prize Bitches!!!" width="459" height="305" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Eye On The Prize Bitches!!!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="http://www.blatherskite.com/index.php/2009/02/sri-lankan-is-broadcasters-dream-world-record-watching-tv-72-hours-stockholm-kiefer-sutherland-24/" href="http://www.blatherskite.com/index.php/2009/02/sri-lankan-is-broadcasters-dream-world-record-watching-tv-72-hours-stockholm-kiefer-sutherland-24/" target="_blank"><em>http://www.blatherskite.com/index.php/2009/02/sri-lankan-is-broadcasters-dream-world-record-watching-tv-72-hours-stockholm-kiefer-sutherland-24/</em></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Ok, there&#8217;s not a lot of world records that I think I can obtain</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But when the record is for consecutive hours of watching television, call me a hater, but I <em>instantly</em> think I can compete</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Allow me to introduce you to Suresh Joachim</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This Sri Lankan gentleman currently holds the world record for consecutive television watching at, what I believe is, a very paltry 72 hours</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I don&#8217;t mean to undermine Mr. Joachim&#8217;s accomplishment, but I just feel like I <em>already</em> won this record in college 7 years ago!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">3 days?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Are you kidding me?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">That shit is a cakewalk</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m gonna do</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Beat the record on paper fair and square&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">72 hours?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I think we here at<em> And This Is My America</em> can easily clock roughly 96 hours of consecutive television watching given the proper resources</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">See he went the &#8220;3 seasons of <em>24</em>&#8221; route</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I would <em>definitely</em> fall asleep watching 3 days worth of <em>24</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I&#8217;m an 80&#8242;s baby so we&#8217;re gonna need a <em>variety</em> of quality television if we are going to truly claim this title&#8230;none of this no frills, fly by night crap&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">For starters, <em>The Cosby Show</em>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 262px"><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/mikecash/lg_cosby-show_season-1%5B1%5D.jpg"><img src="http://www.freewebs.com/mikecash/lg_cosby-show_season-1%5B1%5D.jpg" alt="Always had a thing for Vanessa, must have been them Goodwill clothes and that I smoke weed to rebel against my doctor daddy attitude..." width="252" height="378" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Always Had A Thing For Vanessa, Must Have Been Them Goodwill Clothes And That &quot;I Smoke Weed To Rebel Against My Doctor Daddy&quot; Attitude...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">I can easily watch a good 12 hours of <em>The Cosby Show</em> before even starting to get bored!!!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Throw in about 6 cases of Red Bull, a <em>boatload</em> of the stuff that got Michael Phelps in trouble, some trail mix and other naturally energetic foods, a <em>Slurpee </em>machine, the finest love seats we can afford, and of course the most comfortable outfits we can find&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">At this point ladies and gentleman, <em>Team And This Is My America</em> is ready for the <em>long</em> haul&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 243px"><a href="http://mortystv.com/showcards/perfect_strangers_tvg_1986.jpg"><img src="http://mortystv.com/showcards/perfect_strangers_tvg_1986.jpg" alt="They Dont Make Em Like They Used To..." width="233" height="342" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">They Dont Make &#39;Em Like They Used To...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">We can surely fire up a few episodes of <em>Perfect Strangers</em> and cool out with Balki and his stories from Mypos for an afternoon</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">But here&#8217;s the thing</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">I know at some point I am going to get cranky&#8230;super cranky&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">This is when we counter attack and <em>feed</em> the crankiness till I snap out of it&#8230;throw the baby a motherfuckin&#8217; nipple!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/images/Entertainment/abc_90210_melrose_080606_mn.jpg"><img src="http://abcnews.go.com/images/Entertainment/abc_90210_melrose_080606_mn.jpg" alt="I Dont Even Have Anything To Write In The Box, I Think The Corny Cheerleader-esque pose by the 90210 cast is more than enough..." width="320" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I Don&#39;t Even Have Anything To Write In The Box, I Think The Corny Cheerleader-esque Pose By The 90210 Cast Is More Than Enough...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">A few power hours of back to back <em>Beverly Hills 90210</em> and <em>Melrose Place</em> should do it&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Let the crew sit back and engage in the ultimate <em>hatefest</em>&#8230;picking that shit apart like a girl&#8217;s blind date horror story to her best friend</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">When that gets old (after about 18, 19 minutes) we move on to about 16 and a half hours of  <em>The</em> <em>Honeymooners</em>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 305px"><a href="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-063~The-Honeymooners-Posters.jpg"><img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-063~The-Honeymooners-Posters.jpg" alt="What Would New Years Day Be Without Em?" width="295" height="233" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">What Would New Years Day Be Without &#39;Em?</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Next up, MacGyver&#8230;that guy can have you on the edge of your seat for at least 6-8 hours&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 232px"><a href="http://lifesatrip.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/mcgyver-704190.jpg"><img src="http://lifesatrip.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/mcgyver-704190.jpg?w=222&h=313" alt="No Question This Man Is Badass!" width="222" height="313" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">No Question This Man Is Badass - Notice Richard Dean Anderson&#39;s Striking Resemblance To Sting? Ahh Bet You Didn&#39;t Notice That When You Were 7 Now Did Ya?</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Sorta like any number of Steven Segal movies (when marijuana is readily and easily accessible), <em>oh</em> so bad its good</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">By that time, the testosterone will be flowing</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 232px"><a href="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l116/phiphika1453/topanga-top.jpg"><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l116/phiphika1453/topanga-top.jpg" alt="Too Hot For TGIF..." width="222" height="178" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Too Hot For TGIF...</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Time to smooth it out with Topanga from <em>Boy Meets World</em> and Six from <em>Blossom</em>&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 232px"><a href="http://coletrain.org/hello/2060011/640/NewPromo-2005.08.24-19.43.34.jpg"><img src="http://coletrain.org/hello/2060011/640/NewPromo-2005.08.24-19.43.34.jpg" alt="I Never Got Why Six Wasnt The Star, Besides The Cool Name, Why Give The Headline To The Chick With The Mr. Ripleys Believe It Or Not Nose???" width="222" height="324" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I Never Got Why Six Wasn&#39;t The Star, Besides The Cool Name, Why Give The Headline To The Chick With The &quot;Mr. Ripley&#39;s Believe It Or Not&quot; Nose???</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Two of the roundest booties in sitcom history!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">If you don&#8217;t believe me, YouTube it brother&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And there&#8217;s no doubt who the last stretch of this marathon belongs to&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8230;none other than the <em>Fresh Prince Of Bel Air</em>!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 245px"><a href="http://www.tvacres.com/images/fresh_prince3.jpg"><img src="http://www.tvacres.com/images/fresh_prince3.jpg" alt="Hands Down, MVP Of The Show Goes To Geoffrey The Butler!" width="235" height="285" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hands Down, MVP Of The Show Goes To Geoffrey The Butler!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">So please, get yours check books and near maxed out credit cards ready</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">We will need funding to gather all the resources together, because we <em>are</em> winning this record!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Stay tuned guys, we are working with Don King to bring the whole performance to you live via Pay Per View!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">And of course, the DVD and <em>HBO: Making Of</em> <em>Special</em> to follow&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Shameless people, shameless&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well ladies and gents, another summer is in the books&#8230;</p>
<p>Goodbye flip flops and tank tops&#8230;</p>
<p>and hello NFL Football and the Christmas Season of 2008</p>
<p>Before we look to the future, lets take a few brief moment to reflect back to some of this past summers biggest winners and losers&#8230;for better or for worse&#8230;</p>
<p>The Dark Knight <a href="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/12/18/Joker460.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Arts/Arts_/Pictures/2007/12/18/Joker460.jpg" alt="" width="291" height="157" /></a></p>
<p><em>Winner</em> &#8211; If this movie wasn&#8217;t as good as it really is, it would go down as perhaps the most over hyped piece of shit ever&#8230;but with the performance of a lifetime from the late Heath Ledger, and an all around Gotham thrill ride that leaves you thirsty for the already talked about 3rd installment with Johnny Depp playing the Riddle&#8230;The Dark Knight truly manages to be the motherfucking shit&#8230;</p>
<p>The Instability in the Price of Gas<a href="http://governing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/gas_pump.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://governing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/gas_pump.jpg" alt="" width="112" height="147" /></a></p>
<p><em>Loser</em> &#8211; For those of us like myself in NYC, this may not have dampened the whole summer, but all across America, the rise in gas put everything from annual road trips to quick weekend getaways in jeopardy. That means kids and parents all over were stuck in the same house for the whole summer left to think of new, fun, and inventive ways to spice up the summer, ie. for most Americans meaning watching lots of television, eating, consuming drugs, masturbating, and surfing the internet&#8230;</p>
<p>The Olympics <a href="http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/image/2004/08/14/006311648.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/image/2004/08/14/006311648.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="190" /></a></p>
<p><em>Winner</em> &#8211; Definitely a huge fucking spectacle,  but hey Americans loves a chance to swing their dicks for 2-3 weeks and win a bunch of medals in shit we will forget bout by fall!!! What can i say, humility isn&#8217;t found in the Bill of Rights!!! Go Swimming and basketball!!!!</p>
<p>The New York Yankees <a href="http://www.mensvogue.com/images/health/2008/01/jeter06arod6.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.mensvogue.com/images/health/2008/01/jeter06arod6.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="114" /></a></p>
<p><em>Loser</em> &#8211; With the biggest payroll in sports and a new stadium opening just next season, the underachieving divas of the sports world have ridden 3rd place for most of the summer&#8230;unless they turn it around asap AND win the World Series&#8230;essentially another failed season for the boys in pinstripes who set the bar at winning it all each year. But who gives a shit, the inevitable late season comeback ain&#8217;t happening this year and besides, the Mets are winning the World Series this year anyway, right?</p>
<p>Election 2008 -<a href="http://www.donkeydish.com/images/gallery/john-mccain-barack-obama.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.donkeydish.com/images/gallery/john-mccain-barack-obama.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="132" /></a></p>
<p><em>Winner</em> &#8211; Love Obama or Hate McCain, or vice versa, but one cannot deny the impact or relevance of this current election. With 2 months to go, expect big things to develop as the Republican regime will probably stoop to any level necessary to paint Obama and the Democratic Party as &#8220;arugula loving&#8221; softies who are trying to elect a terrorist.</p>
<p>John Edwards &#8211; <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/images/john-edwards.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/images/john-edwards.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="138" /></a></p>
<p><em>Loser</em> &#8211; Lets just say thank heavens Obama wasnt thinking about tapping Edwards for the VP slot. Fuck Palin&#8217;s daughter and her inability to keep her legs closed, Edwards and the supposed love child would have trumped everything!!! This man has managed to pull a one up on Eliot Spitzer cause I think most people could see Spitzer having the potential to be a scumbag&#8230;I mean he looooks sleezy&#8230;but John Edwards&#8230;whew&#8230;from choir boy to dog of the week in a heartbeat, Edwards&#8217; stock has fallen faster than that of Wu-Tang or Britney Spears&#8230;good luck finding a new gig on craigslist buddy!!!</p>
