That pre-cold stage where you know it's coming and you’re tired and your throat feels strange and your lungs are drawing attention to themselves but nothing is *really* happening yet, so you can’t do anything. Only wait for the inevitable invasion. Makes one irritable. From what i've seen of Nic, i don't think i'm missing much. It seems day-glo annoying. Of course, i've only seen their toys. The only channel i'm mildly curious to see someday is MTV, to see what the fuss is, or was, or isn't. And for that matter, as long as i’m on this, what the hell is VH1? |

I never knew just how bad it was until I stopped watching it (and tv) completely. I feel so much better now. They round up lots of people who look like we should want to look like, and make them act like we should want to act like. They suck the souls of teenagers through the screen. They're to blame for the stupid as hell "reality" shows. Why do they call them that? |

as long as they don't insist i do karaoke. |

i rarely watch tv either. i don't have cable. Even if i'm around cable tv i only go for a few choice shows. Which are Iron Chef, Junkyard Wars, Martha Stewart Living and Kids in the Hall. i don’t need tv, i have 4 tapes that have six hours of commercial-free Simpsons episodes each. My babies. 24 solid hours. I made them a few years ago when they were still on five times a day in this area, as thought i could sense that the new episodes would only get worse. If i watch tv at home, it's christian television. All day long, for hours and hours. It’s the only station that comes in clear. Jake Van Impe, 700 Club, everything. They have this late-night call in show that runs for three hours every night from 2-5am, which i am addicted to. I watch it like some people watch football. “Nite Lite Live”. There are seven hosts and i know all their temperaments. There’s the zany youth minister brothers on Friday or Saturday nights. There’s the Monday night woman who blames everything on Satan and is so timid and stage frightened she won’t dare get into a debate with the callers. There’s the Jamaican man who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. There’s the scruffy red haired guy on Tuesdays who looks like he doesn’t want to be there at all. I remember the night he went on this rant that somehow evolved into him condemning all jewish people for killing christ and being responsible for the coming apocalypse. He apologized the next week, profusely. His call screeners are bastards, i think they must hate him. He gets ALL the crazies. If there’s a drunk psycho in the greater Toronto area with a hankering for theological debate, you know they’ll be phoning up poor Ted. oh, and the callers. I could write a book about them. The guy who swore his pagan enemies had sent marijuana demons to torment him. You can’t imagine how fun this show is. |
they probably have an underground vault, miles underneath the studio, where they chain up the hosts and whip them so they behave the way they do. but no catsuits. |
We have scrapheap challenge, that UK version of junkyard wars. Did thay broadcast the UK v. USA shows over there? thay were good |
not two-bit, late-night, christian talk show hosts. they'd revert to satanism. |

Real fine examples of our public school systems. All dumber than rocks. I can't take listening any more. |
Damn. Sounds like there may be some TV worth watching after all... Wisper, will you tape me some? |
THAT is an idea. |

One night, them zany youth ministers decided to ask the more difficult questions, and had their topic of 'Are You A Giver Or A Taker?' Well. Let me tell you, i have not laughed like i did that night in a LONG time. It was bad enough when they smiled their bible smiles and asked the camera "so, do you think Jesus was a giver, or a taker?" "oh, he was the king of all givers, for sure. Such a great giver, our Lord. The lord teaches us all how to be better givers." Or asking every caller "So! would you say that you're a giver or a taker?" But then the night wore on and an old woman called up and asked how she could learn to be a more appreciative taker. We were screaming.... it was so painful. So grade-school. oh, the things i have seen, and if only i had taped them. the Saturday morning show with scary puppets, and the puppets having this conversation: "hey Samuel, didja know that some silly boys and girls don't believe in our lord?" "are you SERIOUS Mr.Bunny?!" "i SURE am, Samuel!" "i guess those boys and girls are just CRAAAAZY!! i hope they find god before they die and go to hell!" "Me too Mr.Bunny! We should pray for them!" *good-hearted giggling* I nearly spit out my tea. i'll work on that tape boys, but i'm warning you, one look at Rexella Van Impe and you'll wish i hadn't. |
