PAWN STARS Shoeless Joe Jackson signed book...

[alexautographs]

My take on "Porn Stars":

Know a rather sleazy dealer who went on the show with a rare Black civil rights figure's letter. Pre-taping, they took the letter from him, gave it to a shill who walked in with it, he authenticated it and valued it, and (I presume), they bought it. I got this right from the (jackass's) mouth.

My opinion: whole damn show is a rigged set-up, from the retreads who walk in, to the experts, to the deals negotiated. The show's worth millions so why take chances? BTW - love the old man, who know's it's all BS. Hate the lead guy, who's bogus laugh makes me wretch.

Then don't watch it. I know some of it, maybe a lot, is staged, but I LOVE THE SHOW am very entertained by it. I do love the Old man too, but honestly, why wretch if you can avoid it?

Slight tangeant, but the g.f. moved a t.v. in to my place two years ago, after ten years without. I very reluctantly agreed to this. I started off just watching sports, then every now and then watching something else, mostly out of boredom or morbid curiosity (Swamp People, Pawn Stars, Pickers, etc.).

The only way to avoid seeing this stuff is to get rid of your television. Almost ANY book is better. You are completely right - "why wretch if you can avoid it."

I watch strictly for the 'boob shots'. I believe the editor caught hell last year, but they're back this year!

Anyone that would take an item to a Pawn Shop looking for anything more than some fast cash is a "boob" so you plenty of "boob shots"....

f.w.i.w. Looks like the Joe Jackson episode is going to show again tonight at 7:00pm central time (DirecTV ch 269).

The PERFECT reality show:

Guy owns a pawn shop with storage units in back that he repossesses every week. His house, next to an alligator-infested swamp in Wachascratchin, Louisiana, is infested with bees and raccoons, but they have a redneck exterminator at their service. The house is being redecorated for free by a gay, drag-queen small-town sheriff and his crazy wife who spend their weekends towing cars and chasing bail jumpers. The home-owner's daughter is an eight year old pageant queen who moonlights as a logger and their son, who is a hoarder, is a crabber in Alaska.

And no, I don't watch Porn Stars. There's too much other great TV to watch. See above.

You might be interested in buying one of the "Old Man" commemorative coins - actually, not coins but silver rounds - they're selling at the store.

I would have used the P.T.Barnum analogy "There's a sucker born every minute" But what ever works for you works for me!
