Dirty Jobs is one of those that is in constant replay. I usually only ever catch the new episodes when I finally notice that my TiVo has been recording them.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I really thought the vote was going to go the other way. Damnit.

How funny is it that everyone- EVERYONE!- loooooves JT. Next week- drinking game. Drink if someone professes his or her love for JT or if Coach says something quasi-mystical.
Man, I really thought with Stephen's Wizard comment during his vote it was gonna be Coach going home.

Jeff blogs about Coach:
I've hosted Survivor for 18 seasons, and up until now there has only been one person I thought might be worthy of their own show and that was Boston Rob. That is, up until now.
I am seriously considering a show called The Dragon Slayer. It's about a guy who lives in a world that exists solely in his own mind, and thus is invisible to the outside world. While it is the year 2009, the Dragon Slayer dresses like he's just returned from one of those Renaissance fairs where he's just finished eating a turkey leg the size of a small dog. We'll simply follow his daily life, where every time he leaves his home offers the potential for a life changing, near-death, journey. Every episode concludes with his signature line:
Coach: "Hence my name, the dragon slayer."
LOVE.
Seriously, read the whole thing, but swallow your coffee first.

Hey, have you guys discovered River Monsters on Animal Planet?
I watched an episode and it was amusing and informative. Giant catfish, giant turtles and then the guy goes fishing for them.

Hmmm, apparently, I missed an episode on a vampire piranha.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Great blog. I assume Coach is a pathological liar (and a pathological quoter of vaguely inspirational quasi-religious texts), but how much of what he says do you think is true? For example, he went to the Amazon, but did NOT hear teeny tribesmen discussing eating his ass.

I think he is COMPLETELY full of shit. Honestly, I'd be surprised if he'd ever been out of the country.
I also assume the reason you can't Google his martial art is that he made it up.
