  TV shows you may safely skip

  Imageshack is whining about all the bandwidth my little photos are taking up, so I'd better get a new blog going. Although honestly, either you're set up to host media or you're not. I think they just want us to use clickable links so we're forced to look at their ads.
  
  Anyway, these are shows I've watched recently and have reviewed unfavorably ...
  
  Flashpoint.
  The Baby Borrowers.
  Dragon's Den.
  The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
  Charlie Jade.
  Denise Richards: It's Mind-Rotting.
  
  And then there's this list of shows I enjoy ...
  
  ... and shows I've watched recently and have reviewed favorably:
  
  Saving Grace.
  Burn Notice.
  Factory
  30 Days
  I Survived a Japanese Gameshow
  Wipeout
  The Middleman.
  
  Discuss!

  What the ... ?

  So I'm driving to the laundromat last night to do some laundry and stalk a beautiful woman and watch her underthings tumbling when I encounter this contraption moving up the road at about 7 miles an hour:
  
  
  
  I'll admit, my flabber is a little gasted, because honestly it looks like it's missing something. The vehicle seems to be all hydraulic crane and base, controlled from an open platform by a set of joysticks, like so:
  
  
  
  The guy operating it was taking down some branches from some tall trees next to his place, and said he could get 80 feet out of it. 80 feet on an open platform, and they're just available for rental.
  
  Maybe everyone else has seen hundreds of these but I didn't even know it existed. It looked so odd and yet so useful and so incredibly cool.
  
  Now I'm just trying to think of some reason I'd need to be 80-plus feet in the air.
  
  P.S.: Someone has got to tell the "Top Gear" people on BBC America about these things.
