TV Bad, Links Good

Take a moment to look at this picture, examine it carefully:

If you’re wondering, that IS a TV built into the door. The thought being that women do a lot of stuff in the kitchen and would really appreciate a television to watch while they do whatever they are doing in the kitchen (me, I have no idea. The only time my wife comes into the kitchen is after I’ve made dinner,) which is fine, I understand that line of thinking. Before I had a kid I kept the TV running pretty much all the time, I wouldn’t pay much attention but it made nice background noise and all. So I can see the allure of having a TV n the kitchen but I can’t see the point of having a TV on THE REFRIGERATOR. A smallish TV you could put on a swiveling table and watch it from many positions, not an option with the freezinator. Well unless you’re She Hulk, then you could whip that fridge to any angle you need. Making meatloaf? Give it a quick twirl. Back to knitting? No problem a little gamma powered shove makes the viewing angle just right. I guess the other option would be to just open the door until the angle is perfect. Of course that would result in someone asking if you were trying to refrigerate the entire house.*

*Here’s some weirdness for you. I pretty much grew up with my Dad yelling at me for two things: Looking in the fridge too long and leaving the front door open. He would always say something wiseass like “Are you trying to cool the whole neighborhood?” or “The air conditioner takes care of the house son, that icebox is just for food.” I hated it. I found it annoying. I swore I would never do it if I had a kid. So now, when my child leaves a door open, I just smack the holy crap out of him.

I also wonder just what is happening to TV in general. There seems to be an odd convergence towards sameness. If you’re watching discovery channel it’s either Monster or American. Basically someone is bending metal and talking about how “artistic” a bike/car/house is. Switch the channel and it is going to be someone redecorating a room on a budget, another channel will undoubtedly feature someone scheming a method to get another person voted off the island/out of the house/ bitten by a dog. No really, you’ll have 77 channels and basically three TV shows. Well you’ll have a sports channel or two that will surely mention just how much the Cubs suck when compared with the Cardinals. Which they most certainly do. (I check iChat daily just to see what Adam says about the Cubs. Note to Adam: Cubs win the world series BEFORE the universe goes stale thanks to heat death? It’s gonna be close.)

So TV pretty much sucks, don’t fret linky goodness is right around the corner with…

Reasoning Roger’s Reflective Relevant Roll of Respect

First I knowthat my entires make a lot of other mymac folks cringe. They think that my posts ruin the right side of the page and that I should just shut up. Well I can’t really say most mymac folks (most of them won’t speak to me anymore) but Todd, Beth and Bailey all agree I’m ruining it for everyone. So at GREAT personal expense I hired a motivational speaker. MyMac folks don’t beat yourself up

I have a lot of respect for Police Officers, its a pretty much thankless job and all day long they deal with the folks everyone else would rather not deal with. Part of usual police training is getting hit with the old can of mace. I’d say it’s more hazing than training but I’m not out there doing it. For the sake of my friends in service I hope This doesn’t catch on.

The majority of the time I watched Kerryrocks I thought it sucked, bad. But the end slaughtered me.

Just a really well done website
