Live Blogging Touchdown Xerxes Live Blogging Man v. Wild: Sierra Nevada


11:24 – TDX decides that we have to pause Man v. Wild in the opening credits for important pre-show business.

11:30 – DGD requests water and wheat thins. (he might be gay, i mean anorexic)

11:31 – Ultimatum issued. There will be no pausing the DVR from this point forward. Sports guy doesn’t get to tell the MLB to stop playing as he live blogs….or does he?...

11:33 – Dougie’s Goin’ Deep makes a call form Bear to do naked pushups

11:34 – This picture should reside over my mantle

11:35 – TDX attempts to take a sip of water, but fails, laughing at the word “diahhreah”

11:36 – deciding to give up trying to remember how to spell diarreah

11:37 – TDX notes that he would take the time to find a way around a cliff, while Bear decides exactly the opposite. I nod in asset at the statement by TDX that “you gotta be kidding me” as Bear crabwalks down the side of the mountain.

11:38 – noted amazement by TDX at the success Bear has at crabwalking down the mountain.

11:38.35 – TDX feels that a broken bone is not significant enough to get you out of the Sierra Nevada mountains.

11:39 – I am presently forcing TDX and DGD to watch commercials (during a pre-recorded DVR show), waiting to see how long it will take them to get pissed and yell at me.

11:40 – DGD taps his fingers and stares at me in annoyance.

11:41 – …bam… – I just lost a buck…to myself…

11:42 – TDX states that my delay in fast forwarding is only acceptable if I am live blogging a live blog. The jig is up. I have been caught. My amusement wanes…

11:44 – DGD has a brilliant suggestion for a new show – having a camera crew follow someone doing the same thing Bear does…not so sweet…but having the guy watch Man v. Wild and have him try to copy what Bear does…much sweeter

11:45 – I admit that I would do that show. Sans climbing perhaps…

11:46 – TDX is upset at how slow the river is moving. The rapids increase, he is still incredulous about the stability and durability of the raft.
11:48 – TDX calls shenanigans on the danger of the river. Well not really shenanigans, he merely said it was fake danger. I call shenanigans on his call of fake danger. Which aren’t really shenanigans. …wee shenanigans…

11:52 - I discuss my plans to record a video birthday message. TDX suggests doing it in front of “Planet Sunrise”, which may trump my fireside chat or golden popcorn acceptance speech ideas.

11:53 – TDX asks if Bear ever started a fire with shit in Africa. What else are you starting a fire with in Afrcia? Dust? Elephant Tusks?

11:54 – I’ve delayed my commercial fast forwarding. I am going to stare them down until they tell me to change it. Over under, 40 seconds. I take the over. Damn. I just lost another buck…to myself…

11:56 – Commercial break over. TDX has admitted to slacking at live blogging. Yeah, he sucks.

11:56 – Wild Horses. Much laughter ensues.

11:57 – apparently we’re watching the Indian technique at taming wild horses. Bear is not politically correct. Unless he’s talking about the middle of the road baseball franchise located in Cleveland, and was the subject of the Charlie Sheen, Tom Beringer movie series “Major League”. TDX is hoping he really does ride this horse for the rest of the episode. Claims that we have “been deprived of something truly wonderful as seeing Bear on horseback”.

12:00 - My suspicion is that TDX wants to ride Bear. Would it be correct to give that the moniker, “bearback”?

12:00 – taking a pee break.

12:03 – DGD asks if the drug companies are giving impotency a fancy name, like ED. Damn these commercials.

12:07 – Bear just killed a rabbit with a “throwing stick”. The unintentional comedy is difficult to understand without seeing it first hand.

12:14 – TDX asserts as fact that you should never eat a spider if you are lost in the wild. Apparently the nutritional value is not worth the sheer awfulness of having to EAT A FUCKING SPIDER.

12:19 – TDX notes that this episode has just been an excuse for Bear to take his pants off. Cardinal rule, you NEVER go out once the pants are off. If you’re out and pants come off, its probably a good night…or you crapped your pants...then it's a bad night.

12:20 – Episode over. Goodnight.

I requested frosted mini wheats I demand accuracy! This is the problem with you "bloggers", no fact checking, just unbridled assertions... of fact.
