Working is very difficult.
It has caused me to miss the answer to the greatest bombshell question in the history of question-asking. I got a little teaser from the Today show when Matt Lauer said we would get the answer to this earth-shatterer: Would Casey Anthony’s parents let her babysit her brother’s child?????
Well, if he had a child. He doesn’t. But that is still a fucking awesome question. It made me do this:
I know this question kicks balls because the Today anchor interviewing Dr. Phil told him it was “a very interesting” question. And I looked up “very” and “interesting” in the dictionary and they continue to have the same meanings. This Today anchor knows what he’s talking about–although he also knows when Matt Lauer retires, he will never take the anchor chair because he’s older than Matt and must content himself with Matt’s dinner scraps, but he makes himself feel better knowing that he has his Matt Lauer voo-doo doll at home under his pillow and he will be able to stick pins in it later and that stops the roaring in his ears.
If you hadn’t read my previous post of the very un-turdlike manner of Dr. Phil, you may be unaware that Dr. Phil has conducted 1,321,408 interviews with Cindy and Anthony Anthony (I don’t know the father’s name, and am too lazy to Google it, but believe this is “a very interesting” guess). He has done this because this is the biggest story in my lifetime and any person’s lifetime born in the next 75 years–hence the nuclear bomb question of amazingness. The Today show even had on a judge to give her perspective. She was very normal-looking.
Speaker7 sentences you to more lip injections *bangs gavel*
While Dr. Phil’s question was truly terrific and I did have to pick my jaw up off the floor and I was saying “Wha…wha…wha…” because I couldn’t even get the word “what” out of my mouth because my brain had so totally exploded, I think he missed an opportunity to ask even better follow-up questions. Here it is the biggest news story of our lifetime and anyone else’s lifetime born in the next 75 years, and Dr. Phil, frankly, dropped the ball and continued on with the next line of questioning, which I believe was:
“Do you think my giant head could fit inside the grand canyon?” (The answer is no.)
Here is what I would have followed up with:
Let’s say Casey brother is in a tight spot and really needs a babysitter, and the only choices are Casey or OJ Simpson. Who should he pick?
What if the choices were Casey or one of those mothers from Toddlers & Tiaras?
Say you have a time machine and you can send Casey back in time, would you allow her to babysit herself?
If Mary and Joseph needed a night out on the town, would you let Casey babysit Baby Jesus?
What if it was Adolf Hitler’s parents?
Do you think Nancy Grace would ever ask Casey to babysit her twins, and if so, do you think Casey would do a good job?
Would you let Casey date someone who suffered from adult baby syndrome?
I know it is canceled, but would you let Casey star on the show Casey and Kate Plus 8?
Would you let Casey be adopted by the Duggar family? What about the Manson family? What about the Jolie-Pitt family?
Would you let Casey adopt a virtual baby? What about a Furby®?
Would you let Casey adopt Lindsay Lohan? What about Michael Lohan?
Would you let Casey care for a Baby Think It Over® infant simulator? What if it was a sock puppet with a baby’s face drawn onto it? What if it was just a sock?
Could you leave Casey and Dr. Phil alone in a room with only a bottle of chloroform? Please.
