Is everything a lie???

[steelfingers]

Every one of them has to be scripted. Every moment of is scripted. Even Storage Wars. That's why I stopped watching.

I CAN'T STAND HARDCORE PAWN!!! Watched it once ...maybe twice...more than enough. If I want to see that type of craziness I'll wait until Christmas when my family and my wife's family have a "philosophical gunfight". Never a good mix with a bunch of different family members who are highly educated mixed with alcohol. Politics, religion, new scientific ideas, you name it.....instead of a gun fight...it's a trade of words with staring and facial gestures.

Anyways....

What little I do know about Gold and Silver Pawn/Las Vegas Pawn Stars:

Yes it is totally set up. I have bumped into people who are only in Vegas to "show or sell" their item on that show. They need at least or up to two days to devote to taping the show. They are selected along with their item or rejected. The "buddies" Rick calls in are behind the camera and know WAAAAAAAY ahead what the item will be so they can research it and have an educated response for the seller.
Do you REALLY think he calls them and they drop everything to drive to his shop and examine an item....ummmmm NO.

Why Rick just has an orgasmic need to shoot those antique guns is beyond me but it has to do with the show and ratings along with the silliness and little drama that goes on.

If Pawn Stars were a REGULAR shop like they use to be they wouldn't be on TV. Go to your favorite pawn shop or gun shop here in Oklahoma, take a thermos of coffee and sit back. You'll fall asleep from the lack of drama.

Pawn Stars is the 21st Century of I Love Lucy.

I wouldn't watch any of that crap if it was the only thing on t.v.!

And yes, all those "reality" shows are scripted. Most of it is mindless entertainment for the mindless.

The check is in the mail

You can't get pregnant the first time
It's OK, my wife and I are in an open marriage.
I don't drink

My kid would never do that
If I lied to protect you, it really is not a lie

I have never watched porn
My parents really likes you

This is the first time i have ever felt this connection with a woman
I'm only living in my parents basement until the roof is fixed on my house.

Of course I am on the pill
Dad, my teacher is out to get me
Mom said it was ok to go to the party if you say it is ok
And finally----- I have no idea who ate all the brownies you made for the church bake sale!!!

You're right David, it's seems to be just a pawn shop version of Jerry Springer.

And the biggest one of all "Yes, honey, I love you JUST because you're YOU."

And NO . . . that dress does not make you look fat!

Haha! Ain't it the truth!! I know a gal who, even with "professional" ehnancements -- of which she has had plenty -- would scare little kids ... lol

When my middle son met her, she had her back to us when we walked into her office. When she turned around he literally physically took a step back. The look on his face said it all. When we left her office, once we were out of earshot he said "JESUS CHRIST, MOM!! You could have warned me!!"

She thinks she is the hottest thing on the planet and is in EVERY picture she and her husband post on FB. They get all kinds of comments from "friends" who talk about how beautiful she is. Behind her back (and his) they are ALL like "Jeez ... he must like it from behind because there is NO WAY he could possibly keep it up if they were FTF ..."

It's funny and sad at the same time. Like every one she is gonna lose her looks one of these days. Gravity and time (and the dinner table) are NO ONE's friends. I'm good with being an average looking gal. But, if course, she'd have you think I was just jealous because there's no way I could EVER compete. And that's okay, too, because her husband is an *******.

Lol, can you tell we don't socialize with these 2 anymore. It's hard work making sure somebody else's ego is fed all the time. Especially when it's just a gigantic, bottomless, black hole. I want friends to go shoot with. Nothing more, nothing less ...
