I'm With CoCo.
And yet sadly "The Chin" is coming back (usurping) The Tonight Show. I felt like I needed to voice my disappointment publicly following Conan's last show, instead of grumbling to myself around the house.
"The Chin..grumble grumble grumble...poor showmanship...grumble...not even funny...mmrrrrrr..grumble." It is truly remarkable what awakens my ire. It is a great mystery, but very few things make me feel this *crinkly.
1. Board games, any board game, card game, group game, competitive activity played with any person of any age.
2. The Chinese Government ( 3 counts against them)
- exploitation of their Women's Olympic Gymnastics team...bunch of 12 year old girls.
- putting lead in their plastic
- and plastic in their baby's milk.
3. Leno giving Conan O' Brian The Tonight Show after hosting it for 17 years himself and then not leaving forever. That's bad.
But taking it back 7 months later after failing at his own show? That's worse. That's being an **Indian Giver.
Greta has being shockingly stoic about the whole matter, but I feel instinctively that her little heart also carries a small weight of sadness. She's sleeping it off right now but I think she will be OK. Children are so resilient aren't they?
*Crinkly is a term I coined when my insides feel like they are being crumpled up like a paper bag...a tense sort of anger.
**Can we still say Indian Giver? I know it was like the worst thing you could say to your friends in the 80's, but is it PC anymore?
