    Yeah! I love S & G.
    It goes
    "Kathy I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping. "I've got some real estate here in my bag.
    It took me ten hours to hitchhike from Saginaw...
    whatever.
    I'm honored.

    Actually it is

    "'Kathy,' I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh. Michigan seems like a dream to me now. It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw. I've gone to look for America."

    Then the bus stuff happens and the bow tie.

    I was actually thinking of this line:

    "'Kathy, I'm lost,' I said, though I know she was sleeping. I'm empty and aching and I don't know why."

    Line lost:

    "And the moon rose over an open field."

    This is the best 3 minutes of the American experience I've ever heard.

    Maybe some Jon Spencer. But come on. We've all gone to look for America.

    Toss me a cigarette, I think there is one in my raincoat.

    Oh and in this photo I was more interested in the things that block us from the mountains.

    One shouldn't take sleeping pills while "lost" amongst the people in SLC either... Who knows what they'll do to your mind...

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?
