Sometimes Diarrhea is Blessing

I’m sitting in my Toledo hotel room with a raging case of the runs, courtesy of the Japanese Hibachi place across the street. Nothing like diarrhea you’ve paid for. I’m watching TV and discovered my favorite new show, it’s a “Scared Straight” remix called “Beyond Scared Straight.” The original was amazing, but this one is even better as it has special 2011 craziness added. It’s filled with terrifying facial tattoos, efficient homemade shanks and shivs and plenty of women who look like men. It’s on A & E. Remember when that channel used to just be the uptight guy who hosted Masterpiece Theater? A & E has come a long way.
