I just got done yelling at the TV….and, no, there wasn’t a football game on. Somehow I started watching the atrocity that is known as The Pickup Artist. Has anyone else seen this show? According to the website this show is a "tale of transformation". It goes on to explain that "desperate times call for desperate measures. Enter Mystery, best-selling author and ultimate pickup artist-a former nerd from the Great White North who has discovered the secret to wooing women. Under his tutelage, he’ll guide this group of hapless horndogs through the rough waters of romance and help them find the courage to overcome their biggest fear-talking to women."
Seriously? Have you seen this guy? Apparently his name is Mystery and apparently he really knows how to woo women.
Ummm…ok. I mean I’m not trying to completely bag on the guy and I must confess I only watched about 10 minutes of the show. I’m sure he’s really a lovely person, but I just call ‘em like I see ‘em. On next week’s episode the guys are given an assignment to make out with a girl they meet in a club. Direct quote from one of the guys…"I feel like I’m finally entering manhood."
Set your tivos…and say a prayer for us TSGs. If this is who the single guys of the world are taking pointers from we’re all up a crap creek.

That dude may no longer be with us…it appears that a black bear was approaching him from behind right before that picture was taken.
God rest his soul, a Mystery indeed.

Just steer clear of black fuzzy hats and men with eyeliner and you’ll be good.

Nikki and I have actually watched a few of these and laughed at the “pick-up artist” . . . I am taking note and using them on her during date nite . . . they don’t work. Going back to my old moves. They did get me married.
