The weirder the hoarder story the better!
Did I already talk about how Delta Burke hoards furniture and newspapers??? Well that's interesting but that happened a while ago, so...
Much more interesting is what's goin' down outside Macon, Georgia today. Police, following up on a scrap metal theft, found instead a house with hundreds, HUNDREDS, of animals. Not just like cats, literally every animal you can think of; 200 chinchillas, some peacocks, a 'crate of adult dachshunds', 5 porcupines, 2 lamas and a half lama half alpaca. Yeah in the bedroom? What else...a huge tank that police think held alligators, though the alligators were not found.
I gotta say props to Daniel Lee for a real creative use of crazy.
Oh, and he also stole the scrap metal.

Reality TV = World Domination
And honestly it can't come soon enough for me.
1. The Emmys will be hosted by the 5 nominees for Best Reality TV Host. For the ill informed thats Tom Bergeron (love him though he's nominated for dancing with the stars instead of the worlds greatest show, America's Funniet Videos. He's a champ.), Heidi Klum (duh everyone can agree that she's amazing), Howie Mandel (gag), Jeff Probst (He's a total prick but Survivor is like the Grandmaster Flash of reality TV so obvs deserves a nod), and Ryan Seacrest (uh, I got nothing).
Horifically neglected is Cat Deely from So You Think You Can Dance. Love you, love your outfits, you're the best.
2. I have a new mental illness to tell you about!!!
It's called the "Truman Show Delusion" from the Jim Carey get's serious vehical, 'The Truman Show". Just like in the movie people suffering from this delusion THINK they are the subject of their own reality show, being taped behind their back.
I can't wait till I get this.

The five patients Dr. Gold treated were white men between the ages of 25 and 34, the majority of whom held university degrees. "I realized that I was and am the centre, the focus of attention by millions and millions of people," explained one patient, an army veteran who came from an upper-middle-class upbringing.
"My family and everyone I knew were and are actors in a script, a charade whose entire purpose is to make me the focus of the world's attention."
The patient added that he planned to climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty, and if his true love were waiting for him, the puppeteer strings would be cut. If she failed to show up, he would jump to his death.
Doesn't sound delusional to me.
