Speaking of "Prison Break"

Here is my conversation with the Hollywood Video kid...

Me: Hey, I need to rent the first season of Prison Break and sign up with an account.
Kid: Yeah, okay. I didn't really get into that show very much. So you like it?
Me: I don't know. I haven't seen it. My sister told me I need to rent it because she is loving it right now.
Kid: I'm not really into television. They just don't have anything on worth watching. I sometimes watch the reality tv, like Survivor, or Road Rules.
Me (trying to make things fast because I now realize he is NOT fast): Oh, I don't watch those anymore.
Kid: Well, Survivor is stupid now too.
Kid: (As I am handing him all my personal information to start an account): There just isn't enough violence. My idea of a good reality show would be to give one guy a gun, on an island, with 15 other people. The last one standing would get $100 million dollars! (I thought he was going to put his pinky finger to the corner of his mouth, but was disappointed)
Me: Oh. I don't think too many people would sign up to be on that show.
Kid: Are you kidding me!? For $100 million dollars!?

And then I said a prayer for my safety.

Oh. My. Gosh. I bet the reason he doens't watch much TV is because he's too busy playing first-person shooter video games. Scary!

He was having a bad day at work, and a little day dreaming had gone too far.....lol, that conversation was too funny. The people we meet and a little peek into another world.

Video stores breed abnormal slightly crazy people. I used to go to Blockbuster until a guy that worked there called "Woody" called my home phone to ask me out on a date. They called him woody because he sounded like woody wood pecker when he laughed. That makes for some awkward video renting!

Scary story... but I do LOVE that show. I was hooked from day 1 mainly because of the main character Michael Scofield (is so hot or what ? =)

Ummm...I think Seth has told me that same thing. How cool a reality show like that would be--it's that damn Xbox 360!

Brett and I love prison break, well, we did love it but not as much this season. It is the only show we watch together besides the Office. The first season was great. I hate to say this but I once worked in a video store, the mom and pops kind...which is actually way scarier than the chains. I would have to say that the people renting there were much creepier than I was, at least I hope so. This is Jen by the way, I forgot my password.
