So we’re watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition(our new tv watching series) and a thought came to me.
For those of you that don’t know, this show is about Ty Pennington going around the country with his trusty band of constructors, building new homes for people in need. It’s a very heart tugging show. I find myself fighting back tears from time to time…it’s that emotional.
But that got me thinking. Ty Pennington really puts the screws to people to get the tears flowing. For example, he’ll be talking to somebody like the mom of the family, about the background, whats wrong with the house, and then all of a sudden he will get this sad look in his face and say something that just tugs at the emotions of whoever he is talking to. Like, “I know, you tried so hard to keep your family safe…and then the fire came…..”
By this time the person is in tears and he looks extremely satisfied. It’s subtle but once you see a few of these shows, you’ll understand and know exactly when and how he’ll start pulling at the strings.
And that brings me to my theory…..Ty Pennington is a Tear Vampire. He lives off of the tears of human beings. Hell even in the beginning, he shows the application video the families send in, and he makes his own people cry!
Anyway, don’t take my word for it, watch the show, and for further evidence, just look at this picture.
Just look at that smiling face!
:-P
P.S. This is all in jest….maybe?… :-) Ty! if you are reading this, you do good work, keep it up

Eddie, that's the funniest thing I've heard (read) in a very long time. I really miss hearing your wit. I propose that Oprah and Barbara Walters are also tear vampires, certainly Babs is in a league of her own...Do you remember her interview with Monica L about the her time at the White House and what happened to her in the 'oral office'? -Eowyn
