Everyone:

So, the VMA's aren't really my thing. Mostly because I really only like actual music and baseball. If it weren't for baseball, and the occasional History Channel special, I think I could do without a TV... that being said, I have three in my house.

Smith family reaction to Miley Cyrus's dance routine.

I did, however, happen to catch part of the VMA's last night. Why? Because I married a woman who likes that stuff. It's fine with me, I don't have to watch it. (I have other TV's, remember?) But, seriously. Don't tell my achy brakey heart that Miley is going to give birth to a white Teddy Bear with a voice like Thicke butter and a giant foam finger. I appreciate it when people get theirs, I just prefer it not happen on National TV. (If you missed it, the link is here.)
