What does one hour get you?

Ok, so That Guy got me thinking, and I think I felt that he may have presented me with a challenge. The question is, can This Guy do all 10 of his suggestions? When I ask myself a question, I also usually answer it (not necessarily out loud, but sometimes). I've decided that not only can I attempt all 10 of these suggestions, but I can actually do them all while watching tv. Naturally we'll take a look at them one by one.

1. Who's to say this isn't already happening? The real question is, volume up or down?


2. Probably a good idea and as to not be a complete alcoholic-- maybe Mrs. This Guy will join me (which would obviously lead to more #1).


3. As long as it's not busy at the alley I assume the lane next to me will have a tv. (I'm only averaging 125, maybe I should practice more)


4. I suppose I could look it up on ebay.


5. After further thought, this probably isn't going to happen


6. Jimmie (yes, that's how he spells it) seemed pretty busy, but he's only a phonecall away.


7. The cat loves TV (she also enjoys going behind the TV, what's up with that?)


8. Constantly on my mind (NOTE TO THAT GUY: getting readers would help)


9. Okay with 100 hours of DVR time minus Planet Earth, various movies that include but are not limited to-- Wedding Crashers, The Holiday, and Click--, the week and a half of Mrs. This Guy's soaps, I'm dealing with about 47 hours of space left, so I could throw in a little of THIS and THAT


10. First, see #1, then realize that begging asking too often takes all the joy out of being rejected over and over again.

The ultimate challenge-- in one hour do all 10. Now, that would be one hell of an hour. I'd be impressed even if 2-9 were skipped.

Just One Hour

Wow, This Guy does watch quite a bit of TV. But don't we all these days. Oh and yes... TIVO (or whatever iteration you may own) is definitely a life changer and actually probably could save This Guy about and hour out of his 15.5 hours a week, if he worked it right and "timeshifted". Sounds more like Dr. Who than watching tv.

Anyway, I still think 15.5 hours a week may be a little much. Like he said, that doesn't even include sports which has to be at least 7 or 8 hours each weekend.

So, here's a few suggestions of what This Guy could be doing if he cut out just one hour of that 15.5 a week. I mean, "Bionic Woman". There has to be a few things better than that.

1. Sex (I know This Guy is married and this isn't probably much of an option, but hey it's still a suggestion. I won't even comment about how it probably wouldn't take an hour)
2. Drinking Beer (sure you could probably do this while watching tv. And with some of This Guy's show selections, I would recomend it. But beer drinking could be it's own activity)
3. Bowling (could be tied into #2)
4. Playing Parchesi (see previous posts)
5. Work around the house (This Guy is a homeowner for goodness sakes)
6. Talking to your friendly siding salesman (I won't even comment about how this will take MUCH longer than just an hour)
7. Playing with his cat (She's pretty cute after all)
8. Working to make "This and That in the Morning" the best radio show/blog ever
9. Figuring out how many shows you could tivo/DVR to add even more hours of tv viewing into your week.
10. Sex (It doesn't hurt to beg.... I mean ask a second time)

So, there you go, This Guy. I hope some of the suggestions help.

Remember they don't call it the BOOB TUBE for nothing.
