World Series of Pop Culture
If you are not watching the World Series of Pop Culture you are missing out on the best game show EVER! (Now, I know I say things are the best “whaterver” EVER! A lot but this time I mean it. DAMMIT!) The Price Is Right is for old ladies. Jeopardy is for the geeks, and the Wheel of Fortune is for the gheys (not that there is any thing wrong with that). Only the coolest peeps watch this show (and use the word peeps instead of “people” for that matter).
It’s AWESOME, and not just because there’s a team on the show called Westerburg High (QUICK, pop quiz hot shot! where is that High school name from… too slow it’s the High school in the movie Heathers, duh!) that is from
Do you want too blow your buddies, girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, kids, or even complete strangers away? And possibly make some money at the same time? I sure do The D tell me how?
O.K., but only if you promise not to tell anyone, promise? Here’s the deal, now come in closer I don’t want to shout or repeat myself. OK, ready? Here comes the knowledge, what you do is this:
Each new episode of WSOPC is aired at 8 p.m. (CDT) on VH1 then it’s repeated the next night only this time it’s on one hour earlier at 7 and then a new episode is aired after that. But you watch all of the episodes when they FIRST premiere during the week. You take notes you memorize the questions and answers, you Tivo it and watch it over and over if you have too. You do anything you have too do remember all of the answers to the questions. Then when all of the episodes are repeated over the weekend (like VH1 always does) you will know all of the answers, and seem like some kind of idiot savant or some pop culture genius! But, here’s the rub you can’t tell anyone that you are watching the show during the week. Then when they replay all of the episodes on a weekend or at any time you will know all of the answers.
But "The D" how do I make money at this little game of deception, you ask? To answer that question we have to take a trip into the imagination of "The D" for just a minuet. Don’t worry don't be scared it’s not as scary as you might have heard.
It’s a lazy summer Saturday afternoon you and someone you hopefully like spending time with, are just sitting around the living room, kitchen, bedroom or dudgeon sex parlor in your basement, your flipping through the channels of your new 42” plasma screen television that is mounted to the ceiling. (Hey, this is my imagination shut up)
You get to VH1…
And ACTION!!!
The Genius (that’s you): “Hey, wait a sec, what was that?”
Someone Else: “Some lame-ass trivia game on VH1”
TG: I heard about that game at work. That one awesome dude I know was talking about it. He just kept raving about how good it was. Lets watch it! What’s it called again?”
(Changing the channel back)
SE: “I think it’s called the World Series of Some Shit, sounds dumb to me”.
TG: “No, I don’t think they would call it that.”
SE: “It’s called the World Series of Pop Culture”
(Playing dumb)
TG: “What do they mean by pop culture?”
SE: “Seriously? You don’t know what pop culture is?”
TG: “Shut up Bitch Face! I know what it is but what do they mean by it, ya know what I mean?”
SE: “Pop Culture or *Popular Culture is contemporary lifestyle and items that are well known and generally accepted, cultural patterns that are widespread within a population.”*
TG: “Oh! I get it. Like what television show has a character named Charlie Pace that was a drug addict and a former bassist for the fictional British rock band Driveshaft?”**
SE: (Looking at you strangely) “Umm, yea, sumtin’ like that.”
TG: “Lets watch it. It sounds like fun.”
SE: “Sounds like a super lame-o show too to me? You watch it. I’m going to take one of my world famous Saturday afternoon shits.”
TG: “What’s the matter afraid I’ll kick your ass?”
(Now at this point if the person has any competitive spirit in them what’s-so-ever, they will jump at this chance to stand up to your challenge. After all wasn’t this country built on the competitive spirit of our fore fathers? I believe it was the great scholar General George S. Patton played by the great actor George C. Scott in the Academy award winning film PATTON that said “Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a LOSER!”)
SE: You kick MY ass? HA! I seriously doubt it. You couldn’t kick my ass at this game if I bent over and pulled down my pants and gave you a free shot at each cheek. In fact I have forgotten more about pop culture than you have ever even known!
TG: Really? Care to make a little wager?
AND SCENE!!
Now is your chase to put in your order for what ever you want. Money, (I would call a few bucks per correct question) free dinner, breakfast in bed, Car wash while she wears those tight daisy dukes. Or what ever you want. It’s a can’t lose opportunity!
The next few lines are you two debating on what the wager would end up being. But because I would end up turning this into a really creepy sex romp I better stop now, and leave the next few lines up to you to fill in the blanks.
Have a nice weekend everybody!
And thanks for reading!
