Classic Friday: American Idol
Yeah, so I’m taking today off. So what? Had I been in full pop-culture-satire mode, you know I would have been all over the American Idol crap this year. It occurred to me today that I’ve been doing American Idol gags for a few seasons now. The Bo Bice “Cocaine!” strip is one of my favorites. This strip landed right after there were rumors of him being arrested in the past for cocaine possession or something.
And no one can ever forget the Taylor Hicks drinking game. - Every Tues and Wed when American Idol is on, I get some weird traffic surge going to those strips from past links around the net. The internet is just weird.
Want to know what’s going on in my private life? The juicy details!?
Well yesterday I decided would be a good day to cut the grass since it’s the first dry and mild day we’ve had all “spring”. If you can even call this spring! It’s the first time cutting this new lawn here and I was actually excited to do it. What is happening to me!? I actually want to cut the grass???! — But i get about halfway through the lawn and the mower dies. Thing starts smoking like a mothercrunker. I imagine that there I am, out in the yard where no one is paying attention and now this mower is going to explode and send shrapnel through me and I will die on the battlefield that is my front lawn. I actually turned sideways for a moment thinking, “I don’t want shrapnel getting lodged in my hear, I could probably take a side shot.”
I spent most of the evening trying to get the “new” mower to work again. By the time I was done wrestling with this machine and got it to I THINK turn over again, I was beat. It had bested me and I was defeated. That’s a big giant reason why there is no new strip today. My arms just felt like jello or something. Physical activity! Shudder!
So, that’s what I’ll be doing around noon today, finishing the damn lawn so it doesn’t look like morons live here with a half cut lawn with random lines through it.

I think it is HORRIBLE that you would publish such crap about Bo! When Bo was on American Idol it had been 2+ years since his arrest and 4+ years since the inncodent with cocaine. I wish people would be more considerate of people that have changed their lives for the better! Maybe you need to take some lessons from Bo about kindness to others!

I think it’s funny and timeless. And I think every reality show should give out carloads of cocaine. And look, it spurred a response from some crazy Bo fan, even years later!
Back then, i admitted Bo was my favorite to win. He’s a damn fine singer. His version of “wanna be” was really good.
But this is a joke… from years ago. Something late night hosts also made fun of at the time…

hehe don’t let that lazy mower beat you. It sounds like it’s a 2 stroke and you overfilled the oil to make it smoke. after that the plug was fouled so it won’t start worth a sghit. If you haven’t done it yet, take the plug out and clean it. I bet it’s black as bob’s heart.

I think it’s FUNNY AS HELL. I’d be happy with just the washer filled with cocaine, ask me the guy’s lucky. And yes i think we all should take a few lessons from Bo that’s why in two years i intend to able to say, its been two years since my arrest, BTW if you don’t mind, i need to go commit a crime, see you in two years.

Oh man. I think Pittsburgh has cursed our lawnmowers. Thursday I cut my grass, and at the very end, I pulled it into my shed, came to a full stop, threw it into reverse, started to back up and then there was a “POP!” and the engine stopped. No smoke or anything, but not it doesn’t even attempt to start.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Classic Friday: American Idol, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
