Don't forget the infamous midnight modification of the South Dakota State University Campanile logo down on I-29.

You are the Where's Waldo of collegiate counterculture masculinism.

OTOH, imagine a world where prime time television consisted of reality shows of folks who actually knew a lot about the challenge subject, possessed the integrity to resist directorial manipulation abd gratuitous nudity, and were committed to saying that which is true, useful and uplifting. This would be an environment where Tyber, Blast and Izzy might participate in survival shows. Would anyone watch? Would any corporation buy commercial time?

"infamous midnight modification of the South Dakota State University Campanile logo "
This calls for details!

Do a google image search for "South Dakota State University Campanile" then imagine the combination of a fifth of Southern Comfort, a ladder, paint, and several thousand parents arriving the next day for Parent's Weekend. I used to be a bad boy.

What do you mean "used to be"?

you know ... on second thoughts. If I had an Exposed Pair Of Boobs following me all over Tanzania, I might be naked-and-afraid too. I'd probably run for it. :-)

In my opinion 1 hour isn't enough to really portray the amount of time that is passing. Les made it work with Survivorman and 7 days of survival, but 21 days is a long time... and it seems to be compressed down to arguing, complaining, and then success. It feels like it could have been 5-6 days.

On the Island episode they were so eager to start they definitely made a mistake setting out across the water right away (and with no improvised extra flotation?). In hindsight I imagine they would have been better off waiting till first light, so they could avoid the extreme sunburn.
