redux
The hardest part of blogging is starting again. I have many ideas, but the problem with writing is that real life sometime intervenes. The little French lady and I have some health issues that we are getting resolved. It has brought our nerves a little closer to the surface. We get annoyed more easily. We are getting annoyed with people especially the ones we see on television. Examples below.
Dr. Phil
I ask myself everyday why Doctor Phil needs a drummer. We start to watch the episode and suddenly Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa start practicing.
My wife turns to me and says, " What did Dr. Phil say?'
"I think he said something about boom boom sex boom two sided pancake rodeo."
"Really?"
"Umm…maybe. I heard something about a pancake rodeo, I threw in the sex thing." We don't have a clue what the Doctor Phil show is about anymore. We haven't for several years.
Perhaps the drummer knows.
Pawn Stars
We have been watching Pawn stars this year. We used to watch Hardcore Pawn, where Ashley and Seth insult each other continuously and the father, Les Gold, just stands there in his leather jacket with his mouth wide open and his eyes wide in disbelief at the spectacle of his son and daughter having a fist fight over who is going to run the company when Les drops dead of a heart attack, which appears imminent.
We looked at each other one night while watching Hardcore Pawn. The little French lady's mouth was wide open and her eyes were wide in disbelief. She turned to me and said, "Why are you drooling?" The answer was because I was watching Hardcore Pawn and Ashley, Seth and Les were once again fighting and my mouth was wide open. I tend to drool when I leave my mouth open for more than 30 straight minutes. That was the last episode we watched.
We watch Pawn Stars now. The stars are the Harrison family, a pleasantly unattractive family made up of the old man, Rick, and Corey; Chumley (a friend) is the comic relief. The Harrisons are a lot more fun to watch. The whole family plus Chumley went on a diet and everyone lost a lot of weight. No one got much better looking. They are, to put it delicately, "big boned" and "big uglied."
The characters are: Richard Harrison Sr. (The Old Man). His job is to sit at his desk and be grumpy or asleep. He is the patriarch and the pawn star emeritus of the show. He rarely does anything but bitch, eat and sleep at his desk. I haven't seen a wheel chair so I assume he can still walk, but he doesn't .
Rick jr. is the guy who seems to be in charge. He is a very knowledgeable guy. He knows plenty but he often refers to experts in certain fields. The irritating thing about Rick is his laughter. He will just bust out with a chuckle or chortle over things that are not funny.
Corey is Rick's son. He has just a delightful personality….I am told. His main job is to get Chumley to annoy Rick. Corey lost 192 pounds. Impressive. The Little French Lady does not like him much, because he disrespects Rick jr. a lot.
Chumley is the star of the show. His job is to scheme up ways to do very little work and annoy Rick. We believe the producers of the show make Chumley look like he has an IQ somewhere between 5 and 50. He plays the part well. They have shown a few segments where Chumley was pretty intelligent.
Some of his schemes are brilliant but doomed to failure in the end.
Person of Interest/The Blacklist
These two shows are interchangeable. The only real difference is the whispering. The main characters of POI is John Reese, a former CIA muscle guy and Harold (insert bird name here). They whisper a lot.
I couldn't hear what they were saying. I outsmarted them. I put it on closed caption.
The whispering was in real small letters. They outsmarted me.
I purchased a 62 inch TV through Medicare. I could read the captions. I told Medicare it was a hearing aid. I didn't lie. I outsmarted everybody…except the little French Lady. She hates it when something is scrolling at the bottom of the screen. She disabled CC.
She still asks me what is happening. I tell her I haven't heard anything but whispers since the first show and I haven't understood the plot since the second show.
Since The Blacklist is running the same plot line I get my thirst for murder and mayhem quench at that troth. I also find that James Spader is as deviously good as Raymond Reddington. He has a body count in this show that the "American Sniper" would envy.
POI will end the series when Harold's last name is Buzzard or Vulture.
Blacklist will end when Harold disables Samaritan and puts his own machine back on line which will help Raymond Reddington find the bad guys from the Blacklist.
Well, I guess I wrapped up that package nicely. Now if I can can get Reddington to kill the drummer on Doctor Phil. That will be the nice little bow on the package.
I told you they were interchangeable.
