Polygamy: A less is more story

My sick but hopefully recovering blogger friend wrote about a new HBO series that chronicles the daily life of a polygamist. I have an opinion and, believe it or not, I'm going to share it with you.

Basically, if it works for you, run with it.

Why it wouldn't work for me:

Lets say, metaphorically speaking, women(or men) are food. (Ever wonder why there is no adverb for simile? It seems a bit unfair to give one of these closesly related words a grammatical advantage. I think I'm going to make up an adverb for simile: "Lets say, similleacally speaking, that women are like food." I think that sounds just as nice if not better, don't you agree? Feel free to use and disperse amongst your friends) We all like food. Some food we like better than others. Some food we can't live without. Some food costs more than other food. Some food reacts badly to your sitting around and watching football all day long. My point is, there are all types of food. But when you sit down to eat your food (whoa) there is only so much that you can possibly and/or comfortably consume without making yourself ill or, urm, crazy.

Sure, this bit of food looks good with that certain silky dressing. That one makes you laugh with its humorous taste. Still another makes you think about its complex and complicated textures. But trying to stuff them all down your glutaness maw is silly at least and selfish at most.

Top 5 Bill Paxton Moments

1) Aliens - Bill is having a bit of a crisis as his marine unit is overrun by the drooling chest bursting bastiches.
2) True Lies - Bill gets on Ahnohld's bad side by trying to get, uh, on Jamie Lee's good side.
3) Wierd Science - Bill, you don't want to get Kelly angry at you. Trust me.
4) Twister - Really, Holly isn't worth braving a twister, man.
5) Mighty Joe Young - Ms. Theron, however, certainly is.
