Torn Between Three Lovers

Oh, is that how it's gonna be, television? You're gonna make me choose? After years of dedicated viewership, you're going to treat me like I'm Tiger Woods and force me to settle on a single mistress/skank? Well, EFF YOU, my friend.

Oh, is that how it's gonna be, television? You're gonna make me choose? After years of dedicated viewership, you're going to treat me like I'm Tiger Woods and force me to settle on a single mistress/skank? Well, EFF YOU, my friend. I didn't make the ludicrous decision to program THREE AMAZING SHOWS to air at the same time this week. That would be like eating three of my favorite meals in the world - a Canadian bacon Totino's pizza, a hamdogger (three hot dogs crammed inside a hamburger), and a quart of vodka - in one sitting. It's ridiculous. And now I'm starving. And thirsty.

I HAVE A LIFE YOU KNOW! When I'm not watching television, I have a full and robust existence that includes, but is not limited to street drag racing, hosting illegal donkey fights, marketing the hamdogger, attending Justin Bieber fan club meetings, chasing cars while barking like a dog (which is really fun), and sexual promiscuity. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. OH! And writing angry, thoughtless TV columns. So, yes! VERY BUSY!

And when television decides to program three perfectly viewable shows all at the same hour on the same day? It really cock-blocks my personal donkey fighting/hamdogger time! And as you can probably imagine, my TiVo can only handle so much! That's why I'm being forced to choose from the following three shows - all showing this coming Tuesday night - all at 9 pm. ACK!!

* Lost (ABC): Here's my conundrum with Lost - I kinda love it and I kinda wanna stab its eyes out. Even though the producers swear they have a brilliant and mind-blowing conclusion in store, I can't help but imagine the writers are actually just 10 monkeys sitting in a circle, masturbating into a Dixie cup. ON THE OTHER HAND! I'm afraid if I skip an episode, I'll miss something critical (like Sun whipping off her bra) and then I'll look like a total idiot when the finale rolls around, I STILL have no idea what's going on, and I'm drinking out of the monkeys' Dixie cup!

* Glee (Fox): What?? Are you freaking kidding me? You're going to schedule the Madonna episode of Glee at the same time as Lost? Perhaps you don't understand what's going on here: A Madonna episode of Glee is like the biggest pimple in the universe, except instead of pus, it's filled with "gay." And that same pimple is going to pop and squirt gay all over the face of America! AND I'M SUPPOSED TO MISS THAT?!?

* Hunt for the Giant Octopus (National Geographic Wild): Did I tell you that it's my dream to capture a giant octopus, put it in a gigantic tank in a bar, and charge people to watch it wrestle nude strippers? Huh. I thought for sure I mentioned it. Anyway! How am I supposed to find out where to capture giant octopuses if I don't watch this show? Which is at the same time as Lost and my favorite gay pimple, Glee? TUESDAY AT NINE O'CLOCK IS GOING TO BE THE WORST DAY (AND HOUR) OF MY LIFE!! (If you don't include the day a fighting donkey ate my hamdogger recipe.)
