According to StarTrek.com, the new remastered episodes of Star Trek will start going on the air this weekend. They show it being aired by WTAT, which is the local Fox affiliate. Apparently they don’t want anyone to watch it because the programmers at WTAT seem to have scheduled it at 1AM on the 17th. Looks like WMMP (the new MyTVCharleston station, formerly UPN) might be showing it too at 9PM on the 17th, but after that it starts showing up at 4 frickin’ AM! Who the hell is up at 4 in the frickin’ morning if they’re not working! Infomercials get better treatment!
Bastards.
Now I’m going to have to reconnect the VCR or get TiVO or something.
The next gathering
Heather raises a very important subject this morning: Where and when to have our next blogger gathering. A Picnic Gathering at that.
I vote for a beach picnic. Go leave a comment and let’s get the planning started!
Fantasy genealogy
Augh! I’ve been tagged!
- Which famous person would you most like to learn that you are descended from?
- Buddha. Maybe it will put me a little further along the path to enlightenment.
- Which famous person would you hate to learn that you are descended from?
- Genghis Khan. He was one mean dude.
- If you could be ancestor to any living famous person, who would it be and why?
- Hmmm. Stephen Hawking I think. It would be cool to be related to one of the smartest people in the world.
- If you could go back in time and meet any known ancestor(s) of yours, who would it be?
- Some of the ones that lived in ancient China. I’ve always wondered their lives might have been like 4000 or so years ago (when Europeans were still in diapers).
- Tag five others:
- I don’t know if I know 5 others that read this blog. Maybe some of these people will respond. Joan, Windviel, Betty, Geoff, Paul
Dangerous foods
Shamelessly stolen from a Lab Board posting
A Doctor was addressing a large audience:
“The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the audience raised his hand, and softly said, “Wedding Cake.”
