Another lyrical mistake uncovered!
As is the case with most bland "rock" songs that have worked their way into my subconscious through excessive repetition on the radio, I had blessedly managed to completely forget about Nickelback's "How You Remind Me." That is, until Constantine Maroulis's performance of it last night on American Idol, which served to highlight yet another lyrical mistake that probably wouldn't have come to my attention otherwise. (What do you know? I guess Constantine is good for something after all!)
Actual lyric: Living with me must have damn near killed you
Lyric heard by me: Little Women must have damn near killed you
Now, I know what you're thinking, but come on! My version is totally plausible. I mean, Little Women did damn near kill me. When Beth died? And when Laurie got together with Amy (Amy!) instead of Jo? Actually, now that I think about it, I like my version of the lyric better. Which means Constantine is still pretty much good for nothing.
The most amazing thing I saw last night on The Amazing Race
You know how sometimes you say things without thinking about how they're going to sound, and then once they're out of your mouth, you're completely horrified by what you've just said? Yeah, I was pretty sure, after seeing the preview of Kelly's "you were a POW just so you could get out of the military" comment last week, that it was one of those situations.
But, watching the entire incident play out this week, I discovered that it so wasn't. Kelly didn't seem to feel any remorse whatsoever about the implications of her comment, which suggests to me that she's either a) kind of slow, and didn't realize what a horrible thing she said, or b) is a raging psycho bitch who actually believes her boyfriend willingly threw himself over enemy lines because he's a commitment phobe. You decide.
Also, no matter what your feelings are toward Rob, I think we can all agree that last night's "pride goeth before a fall" moment was infinitely satisfying. Although, given their apparent inability to find...well, anything, Rob's "blind leading the blind" comment might not have been so out of place, at least where Meredith and Gretchen are concerned.
Oops, I did it again
Hey, remember when I did this? Yeah, I somehow managed to repeat this incident again this morning, although not quite as severely and therefore without all the drama about nearly dying. But still...ouch.
