It doesn't take me long to vacuum my studio apartment, but it takes long enough for me to think of something truly asinine. As I was vacuuming, I imagine handing someone a mix CD, and they would ask,
"What's on it?"
"Oh, just some Morrissey and Merle Haggard with a few 50 Cent club mixes thrown in," I would reply.
Then I imagined Morrissey and 50 Cent recording The Dukes of Hazzard theme song as a duet - and making a very special guest appearance on Hee-Haw to promote the cut.
My mom says my favorite show as a kid was Hee-Haw, which used to drive my babysitters crazy. I remember loving The Dukes as well, thinking Daisy's Jeep was tight. The other day in class I joked about writing a dissertation about The Greatest American Hero, but Hee-Haw and The Dukes of Hazzard would actually make an interesting research project, investigating representation of rural working class Americans during in the television of that era.
Dude, I was into "Dukes of Hazzard" 'cause Daisy's SHORTS were type, not her Jeep. Unless "Jeep" has some Oklahoma connotation that I don't know about.

And no discussion of The Greatest American Hero is complete without mentioning George Costanza's answering machine.
"Believe it or not, George isn't at home ..."
