Parks and Caves
I guess weird stuff is everywhere. I only seem to notice it when traveling. So fine, since I have a few days off, and no yard work, I thought I’d give Burbank the old Berlin walking tour. Here’s what I found:
Right, I guess Popeye does have a pipe. He'd have to get tobacco somewhere. I wonder where his pipe figures into the banned tobacco cartoons. If we were to follow the example set by AOL Time Warner we'd have to ban all Popeye cartoons. Because he's always smoking.
There don’t seem to be a lot of walkers in Burbank. But there are a lot of sitters. The parks are full of people sitting talking to each other. I don’t remember seeing that before. It’s a real Euro thing to use the parks for something other that sleeping off a drunk. The Euros go out and play checkers and cards and sit around and play with the pigeons. Mostly, in the US, we use the parks for sports. Get on, play, and get out. There are a few who use remote areas in the parks to do the potty thing.
Have you ever been in a cave?
Out in the desert there are all kinds of abandon mines and natural caves. Along the ocean, when the tide is low there are openings in the rock that form shallow caves. But no matter where the cave is, they all have one thing in common. Some joker has taken a dump in the corner. What is it about caves that make some people want to drop one off? This is a rhetorical question, I don’t really expect this to be answered in this blog. …Just something to think about next time you go into a cave.
So, now I have been in this one bedroom apartment with a one channel TV (ABC) and sporadic Internet access since the 27th of October. And there is one thing that I keep thinking about; what’s up with TV? Has it always been this stupid or did my head just clear up?
I was doing a little emailing and the TV was on good morning America. I don’t know if you people know this but that show is made for, and possibly by, retards. I also had a chance to watch Dr. Phil. Is he a real doctor or just some bald dope that someone carved out of an old door? The advice he was giving was probably the worst advice I’ve ever heard. There was a woman with a problem and he had her husband sitting next to her giving her shit, as the audience laughed. It was pathetic! And desperate housewives!! That’s just General hospital with cleavage folks! Cripes! I believe I have been spoiled by HBO. How long has this been going on? No wonder Bush won. Put him up next to a CSI script and he sounds like some kind of genius!
