There has to be a Chapter on getting rid of the computer chair

and using your outside lounge chair ( in my dining room where the computer that is hooked up to the cable modem is located)

so you can lay down for hours and watch the feeds.

Sorry I don't have a recliner or I would use that

They were voluntary captives in a house with television cameras and microphones following their every move for three months. They laughed, they cried, they bared their hearts and souls.
The world beyond was put on hold; their families waited along with their friends and jobs. They were stuck in 1800 square feet waiting for their real lives to be in their grasp again.

We were involuntary captives to our computer chairs and monitors. Our butts refusing to move.
We laughed, we cried and bared our hearts and souls to other involuntary captives to this computer monitor. Our world was put on hold, our families, our friends and our jobs. We were stuck in the trap of Reality Television, unable to be torn away, hoping reality wouldn't come back to us so soon.

We suffered from cramped muscles, stiff necks and we got callouses on our elbows. We watched live feeds until our eyes watered. We spent anywhere from $1 to $300 or more supporting our favorite hamster. We paid late fees for our telephone bills that went unopened. We lost weight from being on our computer diets. Lunch was ravioli's
straight from the can . . . cold.

We posted and responded to other posts on the BBFC message boards. We made cyber friends and enemies as we came to love or passionately dislike the hamsters in the house. We purchased T-shirts and mugs and banners. Some of us, the
BBFC Angels, risked harm to get toilet paper to the house captives.

Who are we? We are the shamelessly and shamed addicts of Big Brother and the Big Brother Fan Club.

This is GREAT! I laughed my head off! Only one thing, I have gotten fat, not skinny, sitting here!

You have to use stuff from 'You know you're a BB addict when' and all those other 'General-Favorites' right?

As discussed privately, you have my blessing.
