    The official "I hate the Hallmark channel thread"

    Instead of watching OU v. OSU or instead trying out any of my new games, my SIL recorded a bunch of uber-shitty made for TV Hallmark Christmas movies. I have Lawrence of Arabia on my DVR and I suggested that if people hadn't seen it, maybe we should watch it. I was ignored and now we're on our second POS Hallmark movie.

    Here are a few of my thoughts when I see what's on my TV:

    "Wait, are we really watching a movie with Tori Spelling and Gary Coleman in it?"

    "When exactly did Tori Spelling's dad die? ... you mean someone actually hired Tori Spelling independent of her dad's purse strings?"

    Also, my in-laws brought my lazy-ass BIL with them from Arizona without telling us, he just showed up with them -- and now his buddy is coming to stay a few nights and they didn't even bother to ask me or my wife. But I come off as the asshole if I say anything as I'm cleaning up everyone's dishes, empty soda cans and dried up Hickory Farms cheese ball crumbs.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

              I never miss the chance to watch "Sarah, Plain and Tall". Glenn Close's best work since Fatal Attraction.

              Edit: And even though casting Christopher Walker as a simple, self-effacing farmer was typical Hollywood type-casting, I think they pulled it off well.

                  My wife filled 16 hours on our DVR with Anne of Green Effing Gables.

                  16 damn hours.

                      Here's what's set to record on my DVR at 8:00 tonight: The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation starring Mario Lopez and Paris Hilton. I'm not effing kidding.

                              The Hallmark Channel is a like a sweet shot of heroin for my junkie mother.

                                  Those crazy Bainisters, they're always getting into some kind of hijinx on family vacation. Good thing Zeus is there to save the day.
