@eloh:

Sorry. On the previous posting it was the same Residents version I featured. No Hank.

I only really caught the first ten minutes or so of this episode before I switched it off. I have sat through enough to know this kind of voyeuristic shit is bad for my health.

The self congratulatory zeal with which the families set about each other is tantamount to domestic abuse as it is.

Mind you. I was vaguely hoping the Cajan wife would pick up one of those miniature Eiffel Towers and bludgeon the ballet dancing dad with it. And his own Stepford Wife was too much of a bitch to feel remotely sympathetic to.

NØ:

Yes. The unravelling tapestry of televised backbiting and needless oneupmanship was 'eartless and artless in the extreme.

I have no idea where that particular exhibition was filmed but the curator had either had his eyes gouged out or was just paid to to turn a blind eye.

Jon:

Very disturbing. In the first couple of frames I was only semi-convinced, thinking it might be a bunch of kids dressed up like the ones in cowls on Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps" tour of '78; an equally disturbing hybrid of the flims, "Phantasm" and those later Ewoks of "Star Wars" menace...

Then one Resident unravelled himself full height and I noticed the top hat.

Bizarre. Alarming.

I hurried back, thinking I may have left a poor picture of myself in my past years in the role of "wife". I felt the need to profess that I had never beaten any of my husbands....I hate a liar.....so lets just say they quickly learned not to raise their hands to me.

I'm really just a sweet old lady now... really I am. Really.

I've been locked in combat with your blog on and off all afternoon. My computer is such a POS... I was unable to hear Hank.

I'm going to have to go over to playlist to hear it...assuming that is what you had previously posted.

Today's version of Jambalaya is slow and dark... like the "fun" referred to is at the expense of unwary travelers and small woodland creatures.

These two interpretations of the same song constitutes a wonderful analogy of the few episodes of "Wife Swap" that I have seen.

I can't recall the specifics, but one I saw I knew if it was me I would somehow figure a way to get the husband off camera... and just beat the unholy shit out of him.

picking up the blower
"Hello?"
"Hello, sir or madam, is Art there.?"
"Art?"
"Yes, is Art there?"
"Art. There's no Art here."

Conway Twitty did in fact perform with The Residents. Life has meaning. Life is good. Here's the proof:

Alright, the residents were just standing around, but they were on the same bill and I swear I remember them doing a song together on the same show.
