Random thoughts while in the shower mostly not about fighting grizzlies

  1. I have never properly appreciated the music of Pat Benatar.
  2. Contacts are easier to put in after a shower.
  3. Benatar has a lot to make up for with "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
  4. Is "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" about a physically abusive relationship?
  5. Why is the phrase "Bitch Factor Zero" funny? Is it akin to "Mother's Sanctity Grip?"
  6. I still think I could fight a grizzly bear and win.

    Were you by any chance belting out "Hit me with your best shot" while in the shower?

    My sister is sure she could eat 100 of those oval mcdonald's hashbrowns. Confidence is a great thing.

    I will not comment on "Hit Me," as in general, I don't like "hit me" songs, including and especially "Hit Me Baby, One More Time." However, "We Belong" is a great song in the Benatar oeuvre, and perhaps in any oeuvre.

    Sometimes I think I really love Pat Benetar (I did love "We Belong"), but then I realize that I'm confusing her with Joan Jett, who totally rocks.

    I actually liked "hit me" in my teeny bopper days, ah the tragic mistakes of youth.

Bwooop!

The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...

Tropes of the Trade

This should help you out with your next TV script: Television Tropes & Idioms . Don't forget, if you are doing a love story, your characters must " meet cute ." Come to think of it, does anyone on TV ever meet their girlfriend or boyfriend in any other way but cute? Does any character just meet their potential mate at church or at school or are introduced through a mutual friend? Do they ever just meet up at a party and say hey "do you want to go out?" Isn't there always and necessarily a contrivance to get the two together? Aren't jumbled packages, quaint misunderstandings, or prat falls always involved? Do we know a relationship is not real when "cute" is not a factor in a TV couples' meeting? Well that's why they call it a trope , eh? How does the need to have a "cute" meeting with a potential mate factor into our own perceptions of the rightness or wrongness of a relationship?
