points out a crash on the M1 that involved many tons of Marmite. I’d comment more, and even point out where the crash WAS, but Firefox keeps crashing on me.

Crikey, now it’s squatch.

The number of “Reality shows” out there that give people something to watch that sends the tingle up them like the Won does to Chris Mathews leg, is starting to seriously harsh my mellow.

I get why people watch scary stuff, I do. Lord knows I did my share of it, when I was TEN.

These days? Grown men and women are watching TV shows- I mean, regular shows, not just one-time PBS specials narrated by Leonard Nimoy- about ancient aliens, about ghost hunters, about haunted houses, about killer hogs mutating from russian feedstock, about- well, now they have one about Sasquatch hunters.

On the other side of that coin is the “swamp loggers” trail of silliness, and the “Son of A Gun” stuff, both of which I’m sure have blue-staters glued to their TV at night and quaking in their boots thinking of the hillbillies they need to pass legislation about- my god, don’t those people know how dangerous is their very existence?

Anyway, here’s my pitch for a real reality show, that will be actually frightening, and make people stop sleeping at night.

The name of the show will be “Democrat”, and it will start with longshots of the idiots in question- pelosi, frank, romney, etc. Learned experts will hold up bills written by sponsored by, or supported by them, and explain how freedom after freedom is being removed and the cost. Each segment will end with closeups of thesponsoring fool- by now, Pelosi’s pores, after so many facelifts, must be the size of shotglasses, and Frank’s chin must have the crusty glaze of a million cumshots.

Let the people see good and hard what they’re getting for their tax dollars.

Fireplace insert seems to be working

Heating bill was 250 this month. Last year this time it was $310. Hoping to get it down further.

We’re bad about electronics here, we leave the damned things on 24/7 and I need to stop that. I figure to get a Kill-A Watt and calculate what all the devices cost, and shut down all but the little stuff.
No, I’m not gonna teach guinea pigs to row a boat. Though the concept of collecting the static electricity from thunder-thighed mallwalkers has occurred to me as a possible untapped source of power.
