Or poker? Who watches poker? These are people in serious need of a life. If anybody ever finds me watching poker, golf, fishing shows, wildlife on wildlife violence shows, I give you permission to put me out of my misery.

plus love the band that plays constant rock and reggae at 15th street!!!
I’ve got an old L&O SVU on, but I’ve seen this one too many times to count and don’t feel much like paying attention to it.
