fiber & local news

Brendan Higgins is a himbo.  If you follow the wikipedia definition, it’s no surprise that a local news anchor is an “attractive but vacuous man.”  That was the whole premise of Anchorman.

What’s a surprise to me is that I just figured it out this morning.  Every school-day I wake up, scratch my chest and ass, stand in front of the mirror for about ten minutes trying to determine if I can see my ribs better, pinch my love handles trying to determine if they’ve gotten smaller overnight, take a shower, feeling my other parts that might have grown or shrunk, and pour myself a bowl of cereal.  Then I turn on Channel 5 News, watch Brendan and Deborah and chew fiber goodness intending to make my stool nice and loose.  Maybe it’s the cereal or the news, but it works like a charm every day.

This morning Brendan and Deborah had to vamp before it went to weather.  I expect my news to be relatively free of chatter.  I don’t want to know that he went to the game last night right after hearing a story about a person who died in a flash flood.  It’s my thought that Brendan ended up an anchor unwittingly.  He really wants to be the sports guy.  I’m thinking this as I watch Deborah react to his dopey smiley comments with a straight face.  She encourages him.  She thinks his blather is fine for a morning news program.  I said to myself, “what an idiot…but he’s cute.”  And I loves me some dumb, cute guys: Ashton Kutcher, Sean William Scott, Johnny Knoxville: I loves ‘em.  That’s when I realized that Brendan Higgins is a himbo; I like him like I like Joey Tribbiani.

I feel I’ve grown since I’ve had this moment of self-realization.

Also, I love a good person-gets-caught-in-their-car-in-a-flash-flood news story.  I love pictures of cars sinking into water with people standing on top of them.
