Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
Bizarre, Fun November 1st, 2008To get away from Bob of Survivor. People kept confusing them for twins and the chicken was insulted.
Dude, eat something. Anything. Grass, bugs, another contestant. Something.

I’m terrified by this picture on so many levels, don’t they feed people on this show?!? It looks like Bob may need to cross the road after the chicken and have him for dinner!

And he’s only 57. Not even the oldest contestant to appear on the show. I think he should eat Ace. That guy is perfect cannibal fare.
GO BOB!

[SPOILER REMOVED]
And isn’t Bob the oldest person to get this far on Survivor?
I kinda like Bob, he’s smart and pretty strong for being an old guy. He’s like, the strongest old guy on the show. I don’t want him to win, though. I want Sugar to win. =D

Now, if they started eating contestants I might actually watch!

He looks like he should be checked into a hospital. It is a toss up between one for his physical health, or one for his mental health for being on the show.

I don’t watch any of the reality shows, but goodness, this guy sure does need to eat something, as you say.
Was he skinny at the beginning of the show, and it got worse from there?
November 1st, 2008 at 12:41 pm
WOW! Give the guy some mascara and an 18-hour, and I’ll bet he’ll make the cover of Cosmo or GQ…

i thought those half dressed pictures of me on my freezer was enough to keep me from eating that half gallon of ice cream. turns out i have a new picture to put up there. i’m grossed out. thanks kathy! no need for me to make breakfast now, or lunch and the heck with dinner. i was having chicken breast, but he has none.

November 2nd, 2008 at 7:18 am
Singular Girl — Beyond rice, I think they have to earn whatever food they get. Yes, Bob needs to eat a whole chicken…and then some.
Babs beetle — Bob could eat all my Halloween leftovers and still not look any better. p.s. Glad to hear Sukie made it home safe and sound!
the Grandpa — Yeah, but that show has Cloris Leachman.
JD at I Do Things — Yes, Ace would make a good meal. Reminds me of this classic Bugs Bunny episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGPF9w0GVo0
Regan — I removed the spoiler, just in case. I don’t know if he’s the oldest to get this far. He looks way older than he is. The bowtie isn’t doing him any favors either. I also want Sugar to win. Poor girl. What? Six times to Exile Island?
DJ — Only the fatty ones.
Daisy the Curly Cat — LOL. Daisy, you kill me. You’re right. You can’t even make a tiny sandwich out of him.
TheSnackHound — I say both! I’m curious how much different he’ll look after they announce the winner. Not sure how much time passes between filming and the live finale.
PaulsHealthBlog — Yes, he’s a naturally thin guy. But still, he should have been required to keep his shirt on. Children are watching!
Mrs. Mecomber — Yeah, he’s got that starving model thing down. Well, the starving part.
Mama O — Agreed! Thin is attractive. Skeletal is not. Ew.
Maureen — A covered Bob is a better Bob. A Bob that won’t give me nightmares.
Gandalf and Grayson — Compared to what they probably eat on the island, I’m sure he’d take some of your stinky cat food if offered. You two are so gracious!
Joe — That’s probably the last stunt they haven’t tried. If the series goes on any longer, you never know.
robert bourne — Mine too. Give him to me for three days and he’ll fill out.
Vivienne — Eww. “Little man boobs…” Seriously, ewww!
Diana — Because he weighs 35 pounds? Got me. This guy is a freak show.
Lee — I’d be happy to give it all to him if it’d guarantee he won’t look like he’s on death’s doorstep anymore. And, yes, there’s plenty of candy left. I’m trying not to think about it.
Jenny — The resemblance is terribly striking, sorry to say.
KFJ — I haven’t looked at it once since typing these responses. How bad is that? I won’t even look at my own blog?
Chris (Casey) — He needs more than a care package. He needs a cheeseburger IV.
Robin — Sure! Blame it on me!
Richard Catto — Now you’ve done it. Must go gouge my eyes out…
Natural — Ewww. I know. The skin wrinkles are the worst! Are you sure you want to see that again? I bet it doesn’t last a week up there. SQUAWK!
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:26 am
And her little Sugar Shack.
Didn’t Jeff even say she’s been to Exile the most times back to back?
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:43 am
He has got to get something to eat and soon. He looks like he is going to drop over at anytime, that is awful. Man the Survivor producers need to feed that dude, and NOW!

Elizabeth’s last blog post..Still waiting…
November 2nd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Regan — I don’t quite get the purpose of constantly sending her back to Exile. Maybe I’m not smart enough for the show. And, yeah, Jeff remarked it’s been the most back-to-back visits. She’s eating well, though, isn’t she? Better than Bob, that’s for sure.
Jodi — What I don’t get is how he still has the energy to perform the challenges. Although, he was thin going in. But still.
Mama O — Glad to hear you’re not sick enough to miss blog posts!
Lauren — At least half of it. We shall see on Tuesday. At this point, I just want it to be over and let’s get back to business.
Mike — You haven’t missed much. It’s the same reason that nutjob on CNN still has a show. The former lawyer. I forget her name (and glad I do).
meleah rebeccah — Can’t wait to see if he put on any weight in the finale show. I’m sure his weight will come up during discussion. I’ll want to punch him if he says he was never hungry.
Data Entry Services — I’ve considered that myself, but then the pubic would have to see me in a bathing suit and nothing good can come from that.
Elisabeth — They must be trying to balance things out. Or maybe they figured he wouldn’t have enough energy to make it past the first few tribal councils and nobody would have to keep looking at that.
November 2nd, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I want Bob to win and i love his bow-tie it looks creative. I think the stupid thing is that Sugar has the immunity idol but the other team doesn’t know she has it so why would they take the chance that she already has it and when they merge she could take them out. Also did i mention the bow-tie is AWESOME.
November 2nd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Holy crap, I can’t believe that show is still on the air. I would have thought they would have used up all the nasty locations by now. But they still haven’t filmed it here in MN in the winter. That would take some skilz.
And somebody get that old guy a bra for pete’s sake.

OMG, I haven’t watched it this season and now I’m debating if I should even bother. He looks nasty…real nasty
November 3rd, 2008 at 5:45 am
brooke — Go look at Jeff’s latest post (see comment below yours) and tell me if you still think bow ties are awesome. Are you sure now?
Jeff — Seriously. They need to toss them in a brutally cold environment with no food. But then the ratings would dive. No bathing suits.
mizmell — I’m guessing he looks much like that even when he’s not starving. Sunken chest, tiny man boobs. No, you don’t want that.
kouji — I know. It’s like an accident. It’s horrifying, yet everyone looks anyway.
Imitation Angel — An IV of fat and all my leftover Halloween candy.
Crazy Working Mom — And I’m not entirely sure he’ll look much better when the finale is aired. He was thin going in. I’m curious how much weight he lost after he got there.
tashabud — He’s still alive and in the game, but it wouldn’t surprise me if medics had to come take him away. It’s amazing he can walk, much less participate in the challenges.
dani — Nah. Don’t bother. But do catch the live finale to see if he gained any weight. He’ll be the one with the bow tie, I’m sure.
November 3rd, 2008 at 9:15 am
You know, I don’t think he looks quite as bad clothed. I think I’d even go to bed AND shower in clothes, if I were him!

absepa — Yeah, me too. They make them eat ‘em live! Can you imagine feeling something trying to crawl back out your throat?!

Joe — Yeah, except they’d have to eat slow. I remember some teams getting a big food reward, only to toss it up after eating too much and too fast.

November 6th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
hi Kathy,
I saw your blog on Lin’s Telling It Like It Is blogroll, and clicked through because of the name. Every house I’ve ever lived in has always had or ended up with a junk drawer. I just hate when a knife or screwdriver gets stuck sticking up (because of all the stuff crammed in it) when you close the drawer and then you can’t get it open easily. Where am I going with this…
Well, based on the number of comments on your blog, readers have no problem getting your “junk drawer” open. Wow.
As to this post, the title got me to click through, and the picture insures I will never watch the show (I saw the first Survivor and loved it, but then lost interest on the second one, can’t believe it’s still on…)
Anyway, great blog name!

Oh dear, Bob looks awful, but we must appreciate his tenacity and strength. He obviously isn’t as unhealthy as he looks or he wouldn’t be on survivor. Or worse, he’d be….well, you know.
November 16th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Trade Show Guru Steve — Thanks for letting me know where you found me! I don’t often learn where people come from. I’m glad you like the name. Here’s the history behind it: Back when I started the blog, I wrote about three distinctly different topics (tech tips, linguistics and humor). I thought that Junk Drawer was a good name to illustrate that people would find a weird mishmash of things here. It turns out only my humor pieces were well-received, so I shifted my focus to just that, but the name stuck.
survivor — I can barely look at that guy. I’m grossed out that he’s even on my blog! Why did I do that again?
Collie — “thin and crispy” Got that right. They ought to watch themselves. After a while, they may look appetizing to each other. Or not.
Reena — I have to believe he’s been a life-long thin person. He probably manages his calories well. But, God. That skin!
