And the walls came down

No doubt you’ve seen the end of Jericho already.  As of March 25th, it was over, again.  We started watching it last season.  The premise seemed interesting: a nuclear bomb destroys several major cities in the United States, what happens for one little town smack dab in the middle of it all?  The 1st season was not bad, but it got worse as the year wore on.  There were fans though, and when CBS cancelled the show, those fans sent tons of nuts to CBS as a means of protesting the show’s cancellation.  So, CBS brought it back for a short run to see how it’d do.  Seven episodes were to be shown this season.  It was pretty much the only decent show during the writer’s strike, and Darc and I thought the writing had gotten much better.  The episodes seemed to be moving along more smoothly and the plot was advancing at a good clip.  The characters seemed more focused somehow.  But CBS pulled the plug once more because viewership was way down.  I don’t get that.  So many fans did so much to bring a show back – which is really cool – and then they don’t even watch the show they fought so hard for?  I don’t get it.  Was it just because no one was even watching TV with the strike going on?  Did the fans grow bored?  Did CBS not advertise enough?  I dunno.  I do know this though – I am going to miss Skeet Ulrich.  Which got me to thinking about all the celebrity crushes I’ve had in my life.  Curious?  Tune in tomorrow!

10 Myths Busted – #1

I thought I would do something silly.  I found these “Top 10 Myths” in a magazine and thought I’d blog about it.  So for the next 10 Sundays, expect to find another busted myth here.   

I fell “victim” to some of these growing up, and figured you probably did too.  This particular myth was the reason I had to eat so many carrots as a kid, and now it turns out it wasn’t necessary.  As for the BRAF bombers mentioned in this article, I heard they had to eat so many carrots their skin took on an orange hue.  Now that’s taking it too far!  LOL  How about you?  Too many carrots as a kid?

What did you say?

See? I can speak with the best of ‘em!

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland “You have a Midland accent” is just another way of saying “you don’t have an accent.” You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

A Touching Story of Love and Marriage

An elderly man lay in his death bed. Expecting to die at any moment, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite Oatmeal Raisin cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with super human effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With labored breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen.

Were it not for death’s agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven. There, spread out upon newspapers on the kitchen table, were literally hundreds of his favorite Oatmeal Raisin cookies.

Was he in heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

With one great and final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted; the wondrous smell of the cookie was seemingly bringing him back to life.

The aged and withered hand, shaking, made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife.

“Stay out of those, ” she said, “they’re for the funeral.”

So close!

This is so funny! I wish I had this guy’s coordination!
