Woman Who Entered Reality TV Show to Find Spouse Shocked By Ensuing Drama

A humorous look at this season of ABC’s reality show The Bachelorette.

Who could have guessed that a nationally-televised event where one woman dates 31 different men would include some drama? Not Clare, our eternally 39-year-old bachelorette who is also eternally hopeful that a reality television show will produce the man of her dreams.

Using the principles that made “As Seen on TV” Products a success, Clare dives headlong into a musky cesspool of testosterone to emerge with one man to call her own. However, things started to go south when she began playing favorites with one man – Dale – instead of humoring the other 30 men with her coveted pity laughs. 

“All of these men are perfect in every way that they remind me of Dale,” Clare said. However, the other contestants are taking it in stride by pouting, stomping, screaming, and demonstrating various Grade A toddler negotiation tactics. “They’re really taking this like the mature celebrities I hoped they would be,” Clare gushed, “Nothing says, ‘I’m the man of your dreams,’ like sexy moping. Long faces mean long other things, amirit ladies?”

Still, Clare is floored that reality TV drama would lead to so much confusion and emotional breaking points. “Sometimes monetizing emotional abuse isn’t a good thing,” she confessed, “but I still trust the process. It’s a beautiful journey driven by my heart, my dedication, and the wealthy executives at ABC.”

Vampire Trying to Cut Down On Her Screen Time

Natalia Eievas Von Dering, a 930 year-old vampire and loyal Hot Topic customer, is starting to realize the rush of hearing her victim’s screams is fleeting and maybe even harmful for her mental health. After watching a documentary whose popularity spread faster than early vampiric plagues, Natalia has decided to cut down on her scream time.

“I watched the documentary the Vocal Dilemma and I was convinced I need to give myself more scream time limits,” she told one of her wailing victims moments before feeding, “Sometimes, I’ll come to the end of my night and realize I spent 5 hours listening to my victim’s cries – that’s more than half the work night!”

This revelation comes at an age when scream time is more widespread than ever. “I go out and feed, people scream. I go to a party, people scream. Even virtual learning has certainly increased the scream time since many cry out when I log on the classroom.” 

The increase in scream time has led to shorter attention spans and vampires having to pick louder and louder victims. “We are draining them of their blood, but they are draining us of our attention spans,” says Dr. Nosferatu from the Transylvania Center for Mindful Blood Sucking, “We are becoming prey to our prey and these young, thousand year-old kids don’t realize what it’s doing to them.”

Natalia is trying to change that. “From this day forward, I will spend less scream time, I will be more present, and I will use my time wisely.”

However, this lasted all of one day once Natalia stumbled upon a troupe of opera singers that could scream for days. She promised herself it would just be “five more victims,” but soon that turned into 10, then 20, and before she knew it, her scream time was worse than ever. 

“It’s not easy,” she said, “and I’m also not sure it’s worth it. Screams are my life.”

Love, Doctors (Patience with Doctors)

Doctors fascinate me. 

What fascinates me even more is that doctors see other doctors.

I wonder how those appointments work. Do they both show up 40 minutes late after a nurse announces “the doctor will be right in” to an empty room?

Doctors are heroes. But they’re the only heroes who can get away with being late. If a firefighter is late, he’s not a firefighter – just another guy who tells you how sorry he is you lost your house in a fire.

Doctors get a lot of grief for being late. They also get a lot of grief for their bad handwriting – which is warranted. A lot of them write like the English language is a modern art piece. I like to imagine doctors writing just completely illegible love letters. I think of their partners squinting while reading their note and muttering, “Either I’m the light of his life or he’s prescribing me Lactic acid.”

Sometimes I don’t see an actual doctor – I see a physician’s assistant. Physician’s assistant’s are medically-qualified professionals, but they definitely need a new name. Their name sounds like they’re main job is to get the physician’s Starbucks order correct.

Sometimes I see an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner and I know I’m in good hands because practice makes perfect. I always tell her that if they keep practicing, maybe she’ll go pro someday. 

I assumed the Registered Nurse is a woman – which always gets me in trouble. People tell me I shouldn’t assume that just because someone is a nurse that means they’re female. I’m sorry, but the term nurse is a multi-purpose word, and I see very few men breastfeeding.

“Nursing” is definitely one of those words that gets too much use. Nurses live in apartments and houses and absolutely none live in nursing homes. And the people that DO live in nursing homes haven’t been nursing in a LONG time.

If they were, I would recommend they see a doctor.

Dude Breaks Mirror, Gets 7 More Years of 2020

In what would be the year 2023, Franz is starting to feel like he might be responsible for what can only be described as “the third 2020 in a row.”

“I’ve never been superstitious,” he said, “but after 3 pandemics in a row, I’m starting to think it’s because I broke that mirror in 2019.”

Franz started to notice some things were off when he saw several events of 2020 repeating themselves in consecutive years. “When President Trump killed that Iranian general Qasem Soleimani the first time I was like, ‘Woah, I can’t pronounce that name.’ The second time I was like, ‘Dang, that sounds familiar,’ but by the third time I was 60% convinced it had already happened.”

After Soleimani’s death, other events started repeating. “Every summer, people started talking about murder hornets and everyone was in lockdown making sourdough bread, and then Facebook radicalized everybody’s uncles…Correct me if I’m wrong, but Presidential elections aren’t supposed to happen every year, right?”

The only thing sadder than repeating the same year over and over again is Franz’s inability to go more than a few weeks without breaking at least one mirror. “I’ve broken 27 mirrors over  the past 3 cycles of 2020…at this rate I’ll be here for eternity,” he said, “but at least I’ve got Tiger King to look forward to again.”
