Constituent #1: Did anyone watch BackStory last night?
Me: I think she did.
Constituent #2: Yes, I did. We all did, actually, and I loved the grasshopper taste test.
Me: Really? I dare you to try out that scorpion/snake juice.
Constituent #2: What? No.
Constituent #1: I would try it.
Me: I'm not going to.
Constituent #2: And you dared me to? C'mon, Dez, a snake/scorpion drink mix? Where can we find that in the US?
Me: It's not in the US. Seems to me like Laos is creepier than I thought, but I digress.
Constituent #1: You said it to every country you can think of. Indonesia's creepy. India's creepy. Malaysia's creepy. Iraq...
Me: Shut up, bonehead. I'm trying to look at Tru TV's schedule for today.
Constituent #2: Oh, look at that. 6 hours of Forensic Files, 3 hours of Speeders, one hour of World's Dumbest, an hour of police chases, 2 hours of Forensic Files...
Me: Alright. First off, I only watch Speeders on Thursdays, and I love World's Dumbest, okay, because it is so funny to watch.
Constituent #1: Yeah, especially after seeing almost every episode of the show. It's like that one guy here that tried to rob a convienient store with a palm frong.
Constituent #2: (holding a palm frong on her head) 50 dollar! Gimme 50 dollar!
Me: It's 50 dollars. Plural.
Constituent #2: Yeah, I knew that.
Constituent #1: Actually, it's Drivers 9.
Me: And you know what that means... Helio is back.
Constituent #2: Helio? Isn't that a Virgin Mobile phone?
Me: Yes. And a phone doesn't comment on people driving, kay?
Constituent #1: Is that the one that has the "Valiant and Doofus" segment?
Me: I thought that was on Criminals 12. I was waiting for that, and instead, I got the "what happens next" segment. Which is really cool.
Constituent #2: I'm afraid we'll have to rename it from Saturday's rant to Commentary for the rest of us.
Me: I'm not even typing today's rant yet, but I guess this will take place.
Constituent #1: Commentary for the rest of us? I propose a weeklong "WTF" series.
Me: Man, both of you are high on sugar this morning.
Constituent #2: What? I haven't got my soda yet.
Me: And I'm okay without it.
Constituent #1: No, let's name this one "Conversations you will never hear from ordinary people"
Me: Hello?
Constituent #2: Dez, I think you lost.
Me: Lost what? I'm still not drinking that scorpion/snake juice stuff.
Constituent #1: Alright, let's get out of here before people say something.
