If you want to be on every talk show from here until forever, all you need to do is invent a completely useless skill, and then get really good at it. It worked for the Fox family, and it can work for you. They even started a company about it, called
Speed Stacks, "The Leader in the Sport of Cup Stacking." Now, call me a skeptic, but no matter how fast you can do it, stacking cups into pyramids is not a sport. Yes, they can do it much faster than me. And yes, there are thousands of people to compete against. Heck, I'll even admit that it's fun to watch the first time. But it gets old fast, and it's still not a sport. I mean, look at their
online store, if you need more proof. They sell colored plastic cups!
You might be wondering how I have the time to insult the useless, but otherwise harmless pastime of thousands of people. I was feeling especially lazy walking back from lunch today, so I decided not to go to Nutrition. It's tough to muster the energy for a class you simply could not care less about. I've got to be at work in three hours, so I figured that if I was going to skip, today would be the day. So I watched the episode of Gilmore Girls I taped and when I turned the VCR off, those stupid cup stackers were on Sharon Osbourne's show. And don't even get me started on her.
