before they pass a law against it. Do what you can while there's still time. Stock up on soda, hit the restaurants before they're forced to serve hospital food. Have your doctor you've known all these years stick his finger up your rear one last time before some government bureaucrat does it. Eat drink and be merry, enjoy the Whatever before the Whatever becomes subject to legislation. In the Future the only thing it'll be legal to do is to kill a fetus.
Digital TV
I don't have even your basic cable so basically I have two sets, one upstairs and one downstairs. Of course I have to use a converter box but that's not the problem. Upstairs I get some programming I can't get downstairs. Watching a very interesting program the other night on Ch. 58-2 on the last flight of Amelia Earhart (hey Jess was she murdered?) and so go downstairs later to play around in the kitchen and can't even get that channel on the other set. On the downstairs set I get at least five channels playing the exact same Spanish show then I get a whole slew of Korean fare I don't even get on the upstairs set. No great loss there but I'm just sayin' In the old days ALL tv's had the same basic channels, now with the much-heralded digital transition they scan differently depending on which part of the house you're in (maybe the attic gets porn, dunno). I don't get the Home Shopping Channel on either set which I was kind of into only as a last resort when all else failed to interest me. I think it's all a conspiracy to make you buy cable so that Verizon Fios guy can come to your house. How is this progress?
I have been stocking up on plain old light bulbs but I probably should also stock up on a few other things like Pepsi.
ReplyDelete'Niche Blog'? Is that where you provide a stream of conciousness, rather than some dumb party line?
ReplyDeleteOne where folks ponder a bit, rather than leaving pissed off?
We need 'niches', Z-man..we really do. BTW, that stuff that is bad for you, like soda? They will put a sin tax on it - last year I paid
$16 for a 12 oz tin of Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco. Last week, it was $34. Sin tax. Forgive me for I have sinned....
The hullabaloo about Schwimmer largely stems from the fact that it, at least for the time being, answers the question about his sexual preference.
ReplyDeleteRest easy good man. You're doing a fine job here.
I do grab any of the 'old type' of light bulbs I can find---guess I never thought of stocking up on pop---
ReplyDeleteif they the THEY!!! ever go after my Aussie black licorice--- they will have a fight on their hands!!!
C-CS
Soapie I didn't know Schwimmer was gay. Thanx for dropping by Chris.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that he is or isn't but when I guy approaching his 40's (and an actor no less) hasn't really been associated with anyone of the opposite sex, the suspicion is there I guess.
ReplyDeletenot that there's anything wrong with it.
ReplyDeleteYeah the more I think about it, not the first part since any schlub approaching his 40's can be out of luck (just sayin') but if you're an actor with money...how much were those Friends making at the end?? usually you'd have to beat 'em off with a stick unless he's extremely selective but still.
