Now that I know about them, guess we are pathologically driven to see "Mommy" and "Mommy 2"

My sister was talking about trying to pull in channel 9409 for a quilting show (???) Channel 9409!! Who would have thunk it? I remember tweaking the old B&W TV to pull in Casper the Friendly Ghost on Channel 12 out of Bellingham, because it was the only cartoon available on Sunday afternoon, ( I always thought Casper was kind of a pantywaist. But it beats "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom".) I think I had to tune a UHF channel to get it too.
Here's something fun; try to get the kid at Best Buy to show you how to tune in a UHF channel on one of thier new fangled flattened dig-it-all TV sets.
I remember looking up the street when I was a kid to see a menagerie of oddly shaped, multi-level copper and steel roof antennas, it seemed to bring the neighborhood together. Chances are, your neighbor was watching the same show as you, it was a common bond. Now even the commercials are boring, the car salesmen don't even sledge-hammer their cars anymore. It...
FUNNIEST JOKE I HAVE SEEN TODAY (But it's still early)
A mother was working in the kitchen listening to her 5 year old son playing with his new electric train in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying, "All of you sons of bitches who want off, get the hell off now cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of bitches who are getting on, get your asses in the train cause we're going down the tracks.
The horrified mother went in and told her son, "We don't use that kind of language in this house. Now, I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train...but I want you to use nice language.
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say....
"All passengers, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you and hope ...
Things I hate about my Flatmate: January 30, 2005 Sometimes (out of sheer boredom) I venture out on Blogger and see what drivel other morons are posting on the web. (Easy for me to say, since I mainly post just links.) Still, it's kind of alarming to consider how a lot of our young bloggers seem to have a simmering rage against their families, coworkers, and roommates. Why can't they just move, or quit? Then if you have a blog for the *sole purpose* of telling the world what people are doing to annoy you, it makes that your focus, every day. Seems that it would be hard to stay in Jerry Springer mode 24/7. Anyway... the one I posted above, is sort of entertaining, in small doses. I like the retro graphic she creates for each post.
Cripes. First eBaY raises stores FVF's and monthlies. Plus some others. Now one of Meg's yes-men emails everyone to say some listing fees will be lower, plus there will be a credit for store renters and gosh, they will even start answering the phone.
Now all the folks who whined thier heads off about the original increases will be inspired to use this strategy in other parts of their lives. There will be a new influx of whiners at the grocery, demanding a refund on half-eaten boxes of Quisp from mom's basement. That annoying "can you hear me now" guy will be an icon. Whiners will be clogging the McDonald's drivethru, demanding scalding hot coffee, liability be damned. You will find whiners everywhere, and of course people like me, whining about the whiners. Where will it end?
