I’ll Buy That


It was a cute little show this week, heavy into Canadian
comedy, and a few blocks to make it interesting.
A great piece by Lorne Elliott, superb in every way.
Cat Block.
Outstanding wordplay by Michael Palin.
Dr. Hook doing Shel Silverstein, of course.

My house is full of them!
They watch me brush my teeth in the morning.
We have a deal, they stay out of my underwear
drawer and I buy them single malt Scotch Whisky.
Every Wednesday night they have these little
AA meetings in my basement.
Life is good…


Kathleen Madigan with a look at bad television.
I stopped watching it years ago, to me it’s all bad.
To some, like Kathleen, it’s like watching a slow
motion car accident.
Especially this show…

The Arrogant Worms with a piece that I like
to play in the Summer, when the tourists are
clogging up all the roads with their over priced,
slower than molasses, motor homes.
I used to be a field technician with Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont being my main area
of toil…we always called Route #1 in Maine
Winnebago Hell because of the traffic jamming
that occurred when the multitudes of well to do
tourists in their motorized apartment buildings
took to the coast for some sight seeing.
Some of those things cost more than any house
that I’ve ever lived in.
And big…?
