no offense to horse inseminators
Ever wonder how horses knock boots when they're not in the wild? I mean, without Hitch, what are they supposed to do?? Well the Discovery Channel has made a show to address the question. It's called Dirty Jobs, and it entails a host who goes around and tries the gritty work of the marginalized. It kept our sake-soaked brains entertained for a couple episodes last night.

Some of it is kinda fascinating. You see the nuts and bolts of society -- garbage men, sewage inspectors, roadkill removers. And some of it's made just to turn you on, like the segment on horse inseminators who have to tame a giant horse penis, and then insert its "leavings" in the female horse which, because I know most of you don't keep vomit bags by your computer, I'll just say is accomplished with a plastic bag over one's arm. (The horse member was blurred for the kids). Hot, right? That show, back to back with Deadliest Catch, a kind of documentary about fishermen in the Baring Sea, almost made me happy about my job. Anything that can do that is pretty amazing TV.
