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...
That is very nifty and, of course, depressing--every 5.4 freakin' seconds! The US sucks. Must show my kids. Of course on the positive side, if one believes Orson Scott Card, all this global warming crap is really just the ranting of the religion of environmentalism and B. Obama is a fanatic believer: http://www.ornery.org/essays/warwatch/2008-05-25-1.html

One's heart beats 5.4 times in 5.4 seconds.
ReplyDeleteOh and OSC is not the only religious climate change denier. The wacko Catholic hardliners from EWTN are also frothing at the bit.
ReplyDeleteThey call anyone who is concerned about the environment a pagan.
Perhaps I will sacrifice a goat to that.
