Will the real Eric Schaeffer please stand up? I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M STILL BENNY HILL No doubt, this season seems quite different from the first, or second, because this show  really stinks. It's gone from looking like it was about looking for true love, to, at best, resembling a very bad Benny Hill skit.  Again, and again and again... The amount of real effort put into to this season seems to have dwindled, and it shows.   There's no real "dating" going on at all that we can see.  This makes the premise of the title of the series just seem obsolete. I don't get what is going on here at all anymore. Even in the first ten minutes of the show the amount  of pure drivel is astonishing.  Why should we care about some of the random, stupid things Eric and Donny are talking about here?  Childhood photos chit chat?  Is it cool to say that an aunt looks hot in a photo?  Wearing white makes you appear chubby.  On and on... The first funny laugh is when Mar

Best line from yesterday's press conference with CO sheriff: -- "Heene family a flight risk." Heene family flees conspiracy charges. "Bye, folks! We're off to Mexico to see if we can get our own reality show down there!" Monday update: *Actually, Gawker just posted a story titled " I helped Richard Heene plan a balloon hoax." pretty much proving that this whole dumb thing really was just a publicity stunt. Gee, nobody could see that coming... But, you have to admit that until Wolf Blitzer tripped Falcon up on live TV, the Heene's elaborate prank worked far better than they probably anticipated it would. Which is because they underestimated how gullible we all are. And, folks? Guess what? -- We're pretty gullible.

Wow. He's back. And the journey lives on, just like The Iliad, or Don Quixote or Popeye. I was amazed he had a Season One, but turns out I'm not the only voyeur who loves to hate Eric Schaeffer , so now, there's a Season Two. Apparently Gawker shares my incredulity, as well . So, since I last saw Mr. Schaeffer ( previous post regarding the conclusion of "I Can't Believe I'm Still Single," Part One .), unemployment hit record numbers, Circuit City bit the dust, however Eric Schaeffer managed to survive the recession to open yet one more big ole' can of fat-ass on more astonishingly naive (read: dumb) women for his second round of "I Can't Believe I'm Still Single, Part Two" on Showtime. Go figure. More proof that Hollywood thrives during our national disasters. BTW. I love women. More than Schaeffer does. I just have to smack my forehead when I see them show up for filming all dewy-eyed and vulnerable knowing that he wil

*Blog author update: My blog contains far more postings about Eric Schaeffer than this first inaugural post. Therefore, if so motivated, you may read more about on this blog b y clicking here .) So, I've been thinking: After a while we all probably know someone, somewhere who has at some point done something mildly interesting. At least, I hope we do. But have you ever given any thought to who may be the scariest person you have ever met? I have. Yes, because when I'm not spending all my free time baking whole wheat things and hand-sewing doll clothing for my kids. (as if. ) I am also occasionally a thinker-of-dumb-things, which is why I realize now, just who the scariest person I used to know is: (Drum roll, please.) Eric Schaeffer. Yes. That , Eric Schaeffer . The same one who I know a lot of people have previously loved to hate . However, I actually have the dubious distinction of having gone to the same high school with him and perform in high school plays wit
