Probably the finest shoes in the world?
When asked, the owner responded, "Well, I've seen a lot of shoes...not enough to definitively answer that they are the best, but enough to say they are probably the best."

Yup, They Suck
About a third of the people who found my blog through my Bachelor posts , did so by typing in either "The bachelor sucks" or "jason meznick sucks" (never mind that he spells it "mesnick")
btw - here are some apparently unedited emails between Melissa and Jason after. Click here.
First of all, it seems like Melissa got screwed twice - once by Jason, and then by her friend who sent these to Access Hollywood or where ever... unless Melissa is actually a part of this "leak," which shows her being strong, not a bad idea. Josie thinks the whole thing may be set up, which I can't rule out either. That's the thing with "reality" tv.

The Bachelor - After The Final Rose: Part 2 - Where Jason Meznick sucks even worse
Okay, maybe the last part wasn't in the title, but it shoulda been.
So, yeah, as I said I would, I watched.
Had to see the train wreck come to it's screeching halt. My only regret is that it didn't take place after the first "After The Final Rose" aired (this was taped Friday, I believe) so the people involved would see how much everyone pretty much despises Jason Mesnick, and, to a lesser extent, Molly.
My favorite parts -
1 - Molly admitting that what people are saying bothers her - the funny thing about that is that all people had to go on were rumours, as this was filmed before the first one aired - I assume that this morning, she is in bed, curled up in the fetal position.
2 - "You hadn't seen each other since New Zealand." - How many freakin' times did Chris Harrison, Molly, and Jason have to tell us that - I had heard there were pics of Jason in Michigan, but at the very least, I refuse to believe they didn't text, e-mail, etc. Who in their right mind would believe that he was gonna dump Melissa and then possibly get rejected by Molly on national TV? We're not stupid.
3 - Jason seemed to indicate that he knew when he was walking Molly to the limo that he'd made a mistake (based on what she told him).
Huh?
First of all, I'll assume that was edited out as all we saw was her saying, "You're making a huge mistake!" Secondly, and this reinforces my thoughts from yesterday, how can he ask Melisa to marry him if he was suddenly having doubts?
4 - Stephanie seems to get creepier every time I see her. Not only did she somehow bring back her ordeal, by equating it with Jason's tribulations, but she spent her airtime apologizing for Jason. Awesome. Goodbye Stephanie (she strikes me as the kind of person who corrects anyone who calls her "Steph.")
5 - This is really "my least favorite part," but after Harrison read a statement from Melissa, Jason had to add his crap again, about how "she's the best," while sounding as if they told him to sound as condescending as possible.
This is why Jason never shoulda proposed to Melissa: They were doomed to fail. Fact is, no matter how great their relationship may've been, when he admitted to being in love with two people, you can't help but wonder what life may be like if he chose the other one (the old "grass is also greener" argument), so I'm not surprised that he couldn't really give Melisa any real answer or closure, cause it prolly wasn't her, it was him.
Anyway, that's it for Jason Meznick and The Bachelor...now, and forever (and yeah, that includes The Bachelorette - sorry Jillian Harris - great name though).

The Bachelor Sucks (The show and Jason Mesnick, the guy)
Last night was the finale. As spoilers had us believe, Jason dumped Melissa, the woman he proposed to in the last episode, and asked Molly, the woman he spurned for Melissa, to take him back!
In pro wrestling, there are two types of bad guy - 1 - The kind that are just good at being despicable, so you root against them, and 2 - The kind that are so annoying, they make you wanna turn off the TV.
I'm afraid Jason Meznick, and the people behind The Bachelor fall into the latter category. Why? Let me count the ways...
1. He asked someone to marry him when he said he was in love with someone else as well (There was a precedent for no rings being given).
2. There are pics out there of Jason visiting Molly during the holidays, making last night's episode a sham (Her acting was pretty bad).
3. Jason trying to reason on Jimmy Kimmel's show last night that he was contractually obligated to dump Melissa on national TV (What would they do if he refused? Sue him? ABC would get killed publicity-wise).
4. Jason let Ty (his son) meeting his new mommy, and then, umm, un-meeting her.
5. After dumping Melissa, he had no problem making out with Molly on TV.
Anyway, that's the last Bachelor-related post I'll ever make as I'm through with the show.
As an added bonus of not watching, I'll never have to hear someone say "amazing" thirty times in an hour.
UPDATE: Josie tells me she will be watching tonight's AFTER THE WHATEVER IT'S CALLED - so, I guess I will too...and blog about how disgusted I am manana.

p.s. if anyone's interested, here's my only other Bachelor related post (actually Bachelorette).
p.p.s. I just posted my thoughts on "After The Final Rose: Part 2" here, so check that out.

Um, Yeah, It Is Tough (I Assume)
They are trying to reconfigure our office at work. The contractor was looking around the office and said to me, "You don't have much light. It must be tough to work at night."
My cube-mate and I smiled at each other.

We'll Even Throw In All Our Shares Of AIG
I had a show this weekend in Sugar Loaf, NY, a town that time, or at least GPS, forgot. Actually, Josie and I had a fun weekend there, except for the fact that the GPS didn't recognize Sugar Loaf, NY.
Anyway, while there, we checked out a Real Estate Buyers Guide. In it, Josie noticed that a lot of the houses were offered for sale with "trade" being an option, as in, "$400,000 or trade!"
That's pretty awesome, we thought, as we don't have any cash, but we'd definitely be willing to part with our seashell collection. And a fur pelt.

Murder Post Part 2
Josie told me she googled our building and found out there was a murder/suicide there twenty years ago.
"Big deal," I said, "I'm pretty sure every building in New York's had at least one murder/suicide."
