Yea! America's Got Talent is Back

I love this show! I'm so excited that America's Got Talent is back.

With other shows, like Idol, I really only like to watch the auditions, specifically the bad auditions, but I am addicted to this show. Tonight, being the auditions show, I got to see the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I was blown away by the Neal, the opera singer. He was freaking amazing! I can't wait to see more.

Are These Really Inventions?

I'm not a bog fan of reality TV (with the exception of accidentally getting hooked on Average Joe after the dodge ball episode and the audition part of American Idol - gotta love the bad singers). As a science geek, I'll have to admit that I'm kind of watching American Inventor right now.

It amazes me what people think is the next big invention. It's not as amazing as the people who think they can sing, but it's still hard to believe that they think this stuff is great.

On tonight:
Underwear underwear  - yes undergarments that you wear under your bra. It looked "like a torn t-shirt". What exactly is the point to this? Why would you want to wear a shirt under your bra under your shirt. Not to mention the inventor spent $300K on it.

Texas sushi - aka. raw meat. Ewww. Not an invention.

Hola hoop (?) guy - I didn't really understand this one. It looked like he was pitching big, flat hola hoops, double decker hola hoops, and other things that you twirl around you waist. He actually could not twirl most of his samples. This should be rule #1, be able to demonstrate your invention.

Center piece woman - I actually feel sorry for her because she had memorized her spiel, but was so nervous that she could not say it. When they told her to "breathe" she had to start over. And, let's face it, a table center piece is not an invention.

Maybe the need to look up the definition of invention before they go on TV...

Streaker on WFAA News

Did anyone see the streaker on the news tonight? The news caster was talking about the fire hazard when a guy ran between him and the camera, completely naked. The news caster, paused and then continued the story. I would have been rolling on the ground laughing...
