Bring Back the Survivor Islands

Like I've already talked about, China is a pee poor place for the TV show Survivor to be hosted this time around. Why do the producers not choose another island?

Since Survivor seems to be running out of places to host their show, here's a top 10 list of locations they haven't tried yet.

1. Survivor Iceland - have the contestants compete in the polar bear swim in the nude
2. Survivor Greenland - have the contestants flee from the falling ice sheets caused by global warming
3. Survivor Japan - contestants sing karaoke and eat bad sushi
4. Survivor Galapagos - contestants compete in tortoise races
5. Survivor Easter Island - contestants knock over those big heads
6. Survivor Bali - contestants try to escape from the nightclubs as terrorists are bombing them
7. Survivor Tasmania - tribes take on that cartoon Tasmanian Devil character
8. Survivor Canary Islands - contestants escape from coal mines
9. Survivor Sri Lanka - contestants beg for food and avoid tsunamis
10. Survivor Manhattan - contestants survive rudeness

Survivor Runs Out of Islands

So, did the TV show Survivor finally run out of islands? I mean they go from competing on Gilligan's Island to a country with over 1 billion people in it.

Survivor China? What's next, Survivor Idaho? Perhaps Survivor Idaho can take place in an airport bathroom with several senators in each stall.

I just can't wait until the final season when Survivor 90210 airs and all the contestants have to live in the clothing shops on Rodeo Drive. Perhaps, before this time, there will even be a Survivor Mall series coming to a shopping center near you. Survivor may have just jumped the shark on this one.

Marcel Marceau Dies, Buried in Invisible Box

Marcel Marceau has died quietly at the age of 84. And, while a mime is a terrible thing to waste, it had to happen sometime. This also begs the question that if a mime falls in the forest and no one is around to see him, does he make a sound?

Attendees to Marceau's funeral were speechless. However, there was a lot of pointing and other gesturing going on. The famed pantomime artist was not buried in a regular casket, but an invisible box Marceau had fashion for himself during his last breath.

The preacher presiding over the funeral did not say and word, but rather gestured towards his eye as if a tear were falling from it. During the open casket viewing, painted smiles were turned upside down into frowns as many coworkers in the mime field were fashioning their own invisible boxes from which to escape.

During his last hours in the hospital, Marceau's relatives reportedly asked him to say his last words. Marcel Marceau replied "Ack!" During the funeral, the Simon and Garfunkle song "Sounds of Silence" was played repeatedly.

Idaho Senator T-shirt

Okay, I'm bad and I just can't let go of this one. Since Idaho Senator Craig admitted guilt already and has decided to resign, I decided that I need to post one more t-shirt creation honoring the occasion.

The footsie t-shirt is on the Funny Things page and honors those who just wish to state "I Play Footsie In the Bathroom". Hey, it's Okay if you do. Just let people know it ahead of time, so that they can move one stall down if they like (or one stall closer if they like). Anyway, enjoy!
