What I Learned from The Learning Channel

There is a TV station that has been created to give all the weirdys out there hope. 


 It gives even the strangest of folks the comfort of knowing that they have a chance to be a star, no matter how insanely bizarre they may be. 


 This channel is known as TLC (short for "The Learning Channel"),


 and my theory is that it was designed to send the message that if you are truly odd, if you are borderline psycho, if you have an affinity for the uncommon, the unnatural, or the unorthodox...you belong on daytime television.


And I think I'm right.

As TLC has gained popularity, more and more eccentric people have decided it was time to share their quirks with the world.  It's absolutely fascinating.



In case you can't tell, I love watching TLC and the peculiar people who inhabit it.  And today as I was watching a commercial for its newest addition, My Strange Addiction,


 I had the most brilliant idea of my life.  An idea that would lead to endless riches, fame, and the biggest fan base the world has ever seen! 


So here it is (and no stealing it. Trust me, if you do, I'll know):

All that I have to do is marry a tiny man


and become strangely addicted


to hoarding


fantastic cakes,

 

filling my tiny house so full of pastries that


 There's no room for my nineteen kids and counting


(7 of which are toddler pageant queens).


 So Stacy and Clinton will pity me, and take me on a fantastic shopping trip til I am beatiful.


Then, some attractive tattoo artist will fall in love with me,


So I'll obviously pull a Jon Gosling and bail on the fam.


After which I can finally say yes to the dress


And discover the joys of a baby story,


even though I didn't know I was pregnant.


Then my tattooed husband and I can find big bliss


While we're on the run with my 3 sister wives.


You know it's foolproof.
