Hearing Some goofy thing I composed. No, you wouldn't like it.

Swaglicious!


Wow. I wanna be an Emmy presenter, too! The fiction, of course, is that the presenters do their gigs for free. In real life, the contents of the gift basket probably cost more than many of us will make this month (and next, and maybe the next after that). Sometimes it's nice to be famous.

Anything in that gift bag appeal to you?

    It is crazy the things they get, oi!!! It's not like they aren't rich enough, hey let's give them some stuff they could just go buy.  They will probably just stuff this stuff in their closet or something and never think about it again. You know what I think? Of course not, but here goes anyways. They should take the value of the gifts and donate that amount of money to the celebrities choice of charity in the celebrities name!

    I know. Those Emmy presenters get quite a lot of loot.  I saw one of the watches going into those gift bags.  Diamonds and a clear face with diamonds on the hands?  Who wouldn't want that.
