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...
Um, what will you listen to while walking and/or commuting? I just deleted approximately 50 hours of podcasts because they were eating up my hard drive space... Will you become one of the stupid? Will you disengage? Will you be cut off from the network? how will I recognize you if you can't relate to my narcissistic inquiries and clever comments? Will you still be listening to npr, because if not, I'm afraid we might not be able to relate anymore (my brother). What about your psychological need for connectedness with the community and, you know, having good, neat relationships and stuff through the computer? Will you be forced against your will into bizzare encounters in person with other humans who can therefore see you, hear you, and judge you right there in the moment? that's bullshit man, you are setting yourself up for certain pain and disappointment and, geez who knows what might happen!
