Other things the Observer has Observed and so makes an Observation:
Is anybody else losing pals because of the presidential candidate you endorse? Seems some of my friends think I’m a “Nut Job” because of my choice. I, of course, think they’re “Nut Jobs” for not agreeing with me. Doesn’t this seem like an Oroboros kinda thing? You know, an ancient serpent swallowing its own tail?
Of course, anybody who would vote for that guy is an idiot and I don’t want to sit down with them over a Chili Cheese Jalapeno Corny Dog at Das Weinerhosen even if we don’t have to pay ’til later.
Do any of you out there know that there is a World Series being played?
You know, I love baseball, but even I can’t get psyched about any event that involves the Tampa Bay Rays. The Tampa Bay Rays?
I hear TV ratings are way down…it’s too bad. I remember when the whole country stopped to watch (or listen to) the World Series no matter who was in it. True, in those days the Series involved teams named Dodgers, Yankees, Cardinals, Giants, Reds, Indians and Tigers.
Somehow ‘Tampa Bay Rays’ just seems like a big bowl full of wrong. But, I guess I’m an old fart. (Before you chastise me, remember Dyar used the f-word the other day! And you all still like Jim Dyar).
Have any of you visited It’s Just This Little Chromium Switch Here to check out the cartoon? It’s a Firesign Theatre “Intertube” site that has allowed moi to contribute a Firesign-related cartoon. I’m a big Firehead and I’m really crazy excited about it.
My old friend (whom I still haven’t met face-to-face), Harry Ames, Jr., the former child actor and Redding bon vivant is STILL battling the local newspaper over the alleged uncompensated use of Harry’s persona in a series of ads. Check it out.
Until next time, kids, remember…a man can be a wimp, but a wimp can’t be a man.
