Let's go duck hunting...

Rarely does reality television strike my fancy. I'd rather be caught dead than catching up with the Kardashians, playing Survivor, being a big loser, or even somebody's idol. It's not my cup of tea — until I discovered Duck Dynasty on A&E.

I have never laughed so hard sitting alone in my apartment.

I don't duck hunt. I've never been duck hunting. This discovery makes me want sit in a duck blind for days — but only if I can go with Uncle Si. There are a few things I'd like to avoid. One, I also don't want anything to do with eating squirrel brains, or cooking any part of a squirrel. I could also go without hunting frogs, or coming across any slithery pests. I'll leave that up to the pros — instead I'd rather kick back with a cold one and watch the hilarity unfold.


Once in a while they remind me of my own family — minus the wooly beards. I have an uncle who could probably give ol' Jase or Uncle Si a run for their money when it comes to fishing or telling stories. My family does have a couple things in common with the Robertson's, like the ability to laugh at ourselves, creative engineering and of course family unity. We just lack the tag of millionaire, unfortunately.

Here's just a sampling of one of my new favorite shows. Anybody that knows me, or my family, can see why I enjoy it.
