Homer Tries Candlepin Bowling

This is a pretty interesting slice of Simpsons.
Growing up I was a candlepin champ, I bowled
on a money league and went to the state finals.
I loved the game, tried ten pin bowling and wasn’t
really impressed even though I was really good at
that as well.
It was invented before tenpin and didn’t become
as popular because it was a lot harder to do.
Nobody has ever bowled a perfect score of 300,
the current high single lane record is 245.
It’s harder but it’s a lot more fun.
Homer likes it better, that’s all that counts.
Some great visuals here…

Fast Food Ruined Me

Jim Gaffigan with a witty set from the Just for Laughs Festival.
He makes some strong points on the drawbacks of fast food.
Personally, I haven’t touched the stuff in decades.
I was a field tech for many years and I lived on the stuff.
The days of losing all the feeling in my arms and legs because
of additives and processed foods are long gone.
It’s wholesome tree bark, moss and heaping bowls of acorns for me.
And beer, of course…


Babel Fish

The oddest thing in the universe.
This is from the Douglas Adam’s masterpiece,
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the original
BBC Television series that aired in 1981.
It was a six part, half hour per episode comedic
romp through sci-fi heaven.
Low-fi along the lines of Doctor Who but with
much more imagination, this was my introduction
to Douglas Adams and his twisted mind.
Thoroughly enjoyable, I highly recommend this
series, with typical British humor and intellect it
ventures into areas that nobody had ever seen before.
Or since.
Catch this if you can, you’ll love it, guaranteed!
If only there was such a device, humanity would
be much improved…
