Roku Box Fabulousness…

We are watching Waking The Dead Season 2 this morning.  I have an affinity for UK tv.  Started with Spooks/MI-5 a few years back.  This is a great show too.

So far this is the most fucked up psycho serial killer I have seen on TV in a while.  The main cop guy is great and gave me and my husband our newest phrase du jour:  “Take the piss.  Don’t take the piss!”  which according to the Online Slang Dictionary means:

take the piss: intransitive verb
to mock, make fun of, kid. Origin: British.
Are you taking the piss?

I think everyone should use this phrase at least once a day this week.  It is nearly as good as bag of dicks.

This episode was in a nutshell about a guy who kills women he is in prison.  The one woman that he let go is  being stalked again as though it were him.  Blah blah blah.  The cops think he was not working alone back when he was killing so they are searching for the guy.  The woman who survived is sort of off and you know she is hiding stuff you find out she had sex with the killer when she was captive because she knew it was th only way to survive.  She had made herself his muse and created his “calling card” for his kills.  She just wanted free.  She was his first victim etc.  Bitch did what she had to do to live.  We get it.  Her “friend” who saw her through her recovery is obviously “off” but you do not know he is the stalker.  Then there is the childhood friend of the killer who you assume from the begining is the guy who helped him etc.  About 2/3 of the way through this, with all these men vying for the attention of this one surviving victim, my husband says, “She must have been one serious piece of ass to get all these men all fired up like this.”   He too has a gift for stating the obvious and he got bonus points for being grossly inappropriate.

Anyway, if you have Netflix go watch it on demand online or better yet buy the damn Roku box. I love it.  I think it works through xbox 360 via xbox love as well!
