[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9574459, member: 23751"] Years ago a buddy of mine was really into American soaps. He had been trying for years to get me to watch one. Finally one day I broke down and said I'd watch an episode. I still don't remember which one it was. Anyway, the scene opens up to a group in a cabin talking about a woman who ran out into the blizzard in the middle of the night, and now that it was morning they should go look for her. So they walk outside into the howling wind. The fake snow is falling lightly straight down and there's about a quarter of an inch of the stuff on the forest floor. It doesn't take long for them to find the woman sleeping in the snow on the ground with another quarter inch or so of snow covering her. She wakes up, not cold and just fine. That's when I announced that I had given it a shot and was done. Fast forward a few years and he says that he understands that the episode I saw wasn't that great, but I should give it another shot. I finally give in and the opening scene has a group of people dressed in cowboy getup and riding horses. I asked him what was happening and he says, "Well, they went back in time..." I cut him off and said I was done. I haven't seen a soap since. At least not a soap other than Soap, the old Soap Opera parody that originated Benson. That one was funny as hell. [/QUOTE]
