Spongebob Square Potts
I had no idea my mention on my personal blog of that one purple dinosaur would cause such an uproar. Don’t get me wrong – I hate Barney.
But I despise Spongebob.
At least Barney has some educational value if you can get past all those those annoying kids who dance around him as if injected with eternal perkiness.
But Spongebob? HE IS A SPONGE UNDER THE SEA. He has a stupid sense of humor and I hate stupid humor. Unless it is my own, of course.

Jamie and I recently watched the YouTube performance of Paul Potts that was featured on Oprah. If you have never seen it, watch. This may be the one and only time I ever post anything from YouTube again.
His story brings tears to my eyes as this frumpy, awkward, shy man is transformed the moment he opened his mouth into a frumpy, awkward, shy man who could sing.
Brilliantly.
Afterwards, Jamie and I discussed his performance and appearance.
Amber: I mean, Paul Potts. I don’t think there could be a more average, stodgy name out there!
Jamie: Yeah, he’s no Rick Savage.
[Long pause]
Amber: Who is Rick Savage?
Jamie: I don’t know. It just seemed like a cool name to throw out there.
And they think women are confusing.
Amber, you do have issues. And I hate Spongebob as well.
Oh, and wasn’t Rick Savage in Def Leppard?
Love your conversation with Jamie. Reminds me of my husband and me!
Saw that Paul Potts clip at our church once. WOW! I hope he fixed his teeth with his newfound fame. I didn’t see Oprah (you hate Spongebob, I hate Oprah), but I heard he ended up singing for the Queen.
I love stupid humor. Spongebob is one of the shows I dont MIND. Doesn’t say a lot for my current intelligence level, eh? I really am an educated engineer. At least, I think I am, no was, no am. Who am I?
KEEP BELIEVING
We here are lovers of Bob, hater of Barney.
Love the clip!
I used to hate Spongebob, but your kids can’t watch Boohbah forever. And as far as role models go, he’s better than Zoey 101.
My Boy: Mom, Zoey 101 is pregnant.
Me: How did you know that?
My Boy: Everyone knows that.
I don’t care for either personally but my boy loves SpongeBob. Love him!
And Paul Potts! He’s amazing….
OMG, I didn’t know you existed, Amber! I thought everybody loved Spongebob!
