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...
What a big shot you are, what with the travelling extensively! I agree with you about no computer = fasting. It does have a cleansing effect, as well, to stay away. Not that I do stay away, unless there's no connection, a state that terrifies me, literally.
ReplyDeleteI like to take myself off the net once in a while. I've been thinking of doing so for a month just as an experiment to see what it is like. That would have to be some time in December given that work these days pretty much requires constant access to email.
ReplyDeleteI could blog about it if you like. Oh wait!
