I am such a nerd.

[donco6]

Does anyone else watch shows like, "How It's Made" or "Modern Marvels" or stuff like that? I'm watching a show on how they make Frosted Flakes, and I'm finding it really interesting.

I seriously need a life.

1. At least you don't visit the same website three times a day--

in this case, that of a local musician who is fifty and somehow attractive. :loveya:

That's what we music nerds do, you see.

:crazy:

[Floogeldy]

3. What are you talking about?

[WritingIsMyReligion]

5. I wish I knew.

:crazy:

[Floogeldy]

11. I want chord patterns

x(

[WritingIsMyReligion]

17. What ones?

Blues, for starters? What key?? Because I can do......

*watches as Floog drifts off*

:yoiks:

[Floogeldy]

26. Mixtures of Em and G major.

Thanks. ;)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

29. Eff you.

:grr:

You're not supposed to actually know anything!

:P :P

[Floogeldy]

34. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

I was going for "Heart Of Gold." :cry:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

36. !!

:rofl:

[donco6]

14. You really ARE on that guy, huh?! :-)

Hey, my partner is 52 and he's WAY hot. But he thinks my watching these shows is bizarre.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. Yeah.

I'm useless. Teenage males are so fucking idiotic. I'm doomed to be married to someone twice my age.

:crazy: :loveya:

[donco6]

21. I lived with a guy 18 yrs older than me.

We were together 5 years. I finally had to leave because he was just so damn BOSSY! We are still friends. And he's still bossy.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. 18 years is quite the jump.

Though not as bad as the ~36-year difference between this jazzer and me. But then again, I'm not living with him.

;)

[donco6]

32. I'd do it again - just a little more aware this time.

Hey, if the guy floats your boat . . .

[WritingIsMyReligion]

37. LOL--I know.

I'm always more of a personality person than someone who gives great attention to physical appearance, but....

:D :9 :D

[Goblinmonger]

My son (10) and I watch Unwrapped together

on FoodTV. We both like it a lot.

[Duer 157099]

4. Oh! Just tonight I was thinking that Unwrapped has the most

beautiful and creative opening graphics! that was soo creative.

Me and my son love that show too

[Goblinmonger]

7. It is actually

kind of a nice bonding experience when we watch, too. We both love that "how things work" shit and talk about what is really cool, really gross, really funny. Good times.

[Duer 157099]

10. Same here. My son is 12.

He also loves Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and Modern Marvels (well, some episodes). And he likes Good Eats, too, because Alton Brown is cool.

[Goblinmonger]

16. Have you seen Removed

My wife wouldn't watch when the maggot was in the woman's head.

[Duer 157099]

19. No! Is that Discovery Health channel?

I also love those gross medical shows too.

[Goblinmonger]

24. I think so

it is all these bizarre things that get removed from the human body. This woman had a maggot the size of gummy bear growing under her scalp. She got it from a mosquito in Chili (or someplace like that--warm, tropical forest). They had to kill it by putting tape over the air hole and then pull it out when it was dead. It was pretty gross.

[Duer 157099]

31. Oh fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

I think I saw a different episode of that show, where a kid got a fish hook stuck in his throat (whaaaa??)

[donco6]

33. Oh Jeebus . . .

Why did I read that? :scared:

[donco6]

30. Now THOSE I can't watch.

Even just the fake surgery stuff on ER and Nip/Tuck - ugh!

[MiniMandaRuth]

2. I love those shows!

And Mythbusters is like, my favoritest!

[donco6]

9. Oh yeah! I love that one too!

It's actually one of my favs. On top of interesting, it's pretty funny!

[Duer 157099]

6. ::raises hand::

Love all those kinds of shows!

[Mutley]

8. I love "How It's Made".

After the cheese episode, though, I've found it difficult to stomach dairy. :puke:

[donco6]

12. Well, maybe TOO much info sometimes!

Ha. I used to live near a cheese plant, so I know what you mean.

[Mutley]

20. It's like, a part of your brain knows how cheese is made...

but to actually see it. A whole different ballgame. :scared:

[donco6]

23. I comfort myself with the knowledge that . . .

. . . the stuff they take OUT of cheese is actually even more gross.

[Mutley]

28. True, true.

And I can't stay away from cheese forever 'cause it's so damn good. :9

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I just watched a show about how they make shovels.

You can't get much nerdier than that.

[donco6]

15. LOL! Oh yeah.

And I would find that interesting, too!!

[hfojvt]

22. I think there is show on Friday night

"How to find a life" PBS 10 PM

Myself I do not care for the modern marvels. It seems to me that Marvel went downhill in the 1990s. How are Frosted Flakes made? More importantly - why?

[donco6]

27. So many questions, so little time.

I will check for your show - maybe it will help me.

I used to be a Marvel fan, but after the Phoenix saga, I lost interest.

Frosted Flakes are made just like regular corn flakes, but sprayed with REALLY HOT syrup! And vitamins! They're GRRRRREAT!

[rug]

35. How about that guy on C-Span who reads a newspaper
