I keep forgetting to post the email I got recently. The "Chris" she mentions is Christopher, the owner of the Cafe at which I used to run the spoken-word night:

Hey Serene!

My name is Rachelle and Chris from Nomad Cafe gave me your contact information. 'm one of the casting producers for ABC TV's Wife Swap, a prime time family reality TV show and I am hoping to cast a family who performs spoken word and/ or slams.

I'm wondering if you (a) have kids and (b) would like to be considered if so. Marriage is not a show requirement. If this doesn't sound interesting, I'm wondering if you might be willing to suggest a family for our show.

Thanks,

I am very amused. No, I didn't respond.

Oh, but honey, don't you think it would be fun? Can't you just see them sending both of us (witchy me, atheist you, poly us) off to terrorize some unsuspecting fundy guy and teach his kids what tolerance and evolution are, while the fundy wife comes to beat her head against the brick wall of someotherguy's intellect and rationality? Do you think they'd accept the cats as "kids?" ; )

I'd pay to see that. :)

But as I understand it they would edit it to make everyone look like idiots no matter what actually happened.

Well, of course they would, otherwise it wouldn't sell to their target audience. We don't happen to be that target.
