I thought now would be a good time to resurrect an old post. Wand in hand. Tap, tap, POOF!!!

Thirteen Things I have better to do than worry about who won American Idol
- Get a spray tan, bikini wax and a tattoo (have never done any of these things, but prefer them to
worshiping Idols watching Idol).
- Schedule a root canal just for spits and giggles
(and the only thing that could make it seem more torturous would be if American Idol came on as the drilling commenced.)
- Memorize the periodic table for chemistry (I'm not in a chemistry course at the moment, though I'm proud to say I set the curve for it when I did take it.)
- Watch old Star Search reruns (that's all American Idol is anyway; a glorified Star Search, only without other categories to give it a little life.)
- Spend a beautiful, sunny, balmy afternoon at the Department of Motor Vehicles (and it could only feel worse if I hallucinated and thought the workers were Simon, Paula and Randy.)
- Watch a Judge Judy-thon (now there's some judging to match Simon's.)
- Call my senator (about something, anything that would prevent me from using up precious cell phone minutes to vote on American Idol).
- Track down a single mosquito in my bedroom. In the middle of the night. During a power outage. With a migraine. And type O blood (which makes me all the more appealing.)
- Get stuck in traffic. With AM jams only. And my gas tank on "E." And four hungry kids in the car (and if talk of American Idol started on the one radio station that didn't fuzz out, I would be required to break out in a fit of road rage.)
- Schedule a field trip to a pig farm in the middle of July. On a high humidity day. Without proper ventilation (because after all, "some things" just stink.)
- Read Rosie O'Donell's blog (and that's the bottom of the barrel for me.)
- Ride all the twirly rides at Cedar Point. Without Dramamine. On a full stomach. Of reaaaaally greasy food. (and don't dare play any Idol songs or or another contest is gonna begin; one called the cookie toss).
- Getting stuck on a deserted island with Clay Aiken (so I can play my favorite game of all time, SURVIVOR, while I single handedly eliminate my competition.)
Oh no she dih-int. Oh yes I did! And now don't all you Idol fans up and disown me. I mean, I still love you, even if you do need a 12 step program. So I say, cry if you must, but while you're doing that, I'm going to be busy trying to pitch Susan Powter as the spokesperson for recovering Idol-holics, what with her profound and appropriate message.

Luckily I am not an addict. This season I did watch from time to time. That leads us to my addiction problem, TV in general. If something else I had liked had been on I probably would not have seen any of them.
Very funny post!
Great POST.. Love it, LOL...
I agree with you on all points. I am not an Idol fan either. Great TT.
I'm not a big fan of the show either altho' I've watched one season of it a couple of years ago.
funny post! =)
I can't bear Simon so I don't watch the show. Evah.
But I DO watch 'Canadian Idol'... (we're more polite up here - when we mean 'you can't sing' we say 'that was lovely, but it didn't quite work for me. Sorry.')
Cute! I'm glad not to be glued to my TV on Tues and Wed anymore. : )
Maybe I'll "call my senator." LOL
I've never seen the show. I'm not trying to make myself sound better than everyone else (although I really am but it has more to do with my superior dance moves). I've just never taken the time to watch. The show that I'm glued to is The Office...and I record Don't Forget the Lyrics. However, I wish they'd ditch the celebrity guests and stay with regular people like you and me.
Toni,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog! I have been lurking on your blog for a while, I must admit! Today's post was hilarious! I'm not a fan of AI but i have watched the beginning of the seasons just to see the crazy people. Now that's entertainment. Never voted, never will. Have a great weekend and hope to hear from you again!
Be blessed ~

Pone I can not stand American Iddol. I'll stick to Metal concerts in HD as well as discovery, The Travel Channel, Military channel or the History Channel. Which reminds me that it's Memorial Day Monday. Remember to thank a veteran or their family for all our rights to watch what ever tv program we like, listen to our music or worship god in eachs own way. While people may not agree with what others watch or do, it was people like me and millions of others who defended fought and died so everyone has the right to do and believe as they wish. Remember those who gave all this memorial day.
Amen, Bro! I could NOT have said it better.
It's the name, Toni. Idol...translates to me into idol worship. I perfectly agree with all of your points and couldn't have said it nearly as well as you. I, like Big Doofus, have never seen the show and with that name, never will.
Oh, and by the way, last time I was in Baltimore, BD, I picked up some great dance moves with a lot of heel work. I also learned that when in doubt, anything with jazz hands impresses people.
thats so funny! I know alot of people are really into Idol... I've watched a few here and there and its ok, but not something I myself get addicted to.... now Lost on the other hand.... I'm hooked.
