RIP Harvey Korman, Sydney Pollack, F Bomb Rain

Seems like there's a endless bunch of folk departing this planet. Mr. Peavey was a great director who directed The Trouble With Tribbles story from Star Trek and other faves, Earle Hagen, the guy who did the Andy Griffith whistling overture and other TV themes such as the Dragnet series, but the most lost was Harvey Korman who made the Carol Burnett show such a funny and memorable one.  Though Harvey can be seen on Blazing Saddles, I don't think nothing can top his role in Carol Burnett's show, espeically when Tim Conway pared up with him.  It was always funny to try to see Harvey trying not to crack up when Carol or Tim made a funny line or look.  I wish one of these high defination TV stations would pick up the Carol Burnett And Friends show and show them instead of trying to peddle each and every show out there on DVD.  Has TV just become a freaking endless supply of infocommercials or Reality crapola?  Anyway Harvey was 82 and will be missed.

Even Sydney Pollack passed away monday due to cancer at age 73.  These four gentlemen made watching a TV or Movie a memorable expierence.

Now back to the rants and raves.  It bothers me to the most extreme that we have to deal with infocommercials of old tv shows to which TV Land used to show but like any other puppet station of Viacom has now regressed into reality television hell or bore me with the same movie every other station is showing.  When TV land came into view 10 years back, they had made a effort to save the TV shows that we used to watch but not any more.  For a while they even had TV cartoon Saturday mornings and western afternoons.  They had SCTV as well but not anymore.  Just the same tired movies that they showed on VH1 or CMT.  Gotta love Viacom Cable domination.  So what's the point of going digital when all it is is propagranda and excuses to show Girls Gone Wild infocommericals in high def.  Big fucking deal.   ESPN is showing the great sporting event in Championship Spelling Bee.  WGN prides itself by showing commericals of baseball but their baseball coverage is not all great.  VH1 insults our intelligence with Flavor Flav and Supermodel reruns all weekend.  Watch and discuss, Watch and discuss what?!?  How fucking bad VH1 had become?   And if that ain't enough, what's the purpose of the Weather Channel when all they show is the same five fucking Storm Stories during prime time, during when Parkersburg and New Hartford is getting grinded up by a F5 Tornado and the fucking channel is too busy showing (Ironically) It Can Happen Here about a Chicago getting hit by a F5 twister.  And the Weather Channel has more fucking commericals per hour than any other channel.  Somebody oughta tell the dumb fucks that tornados don't usually wait for commercial breaks to do damage.

I'm also not too fucking keen on GAC's showing the same damn programs time and time again.  Didn't Kelly Pickler' had that USO tour in Novemeber of last year?!?  And the Nashville Hit men, that's so last august.  So tell me what's the reason why we have high programming costs when all cable shows is the same damn crap that they have been the last five years.  Propaganda BS, made famous by the Bushmen in the White House, just like the supply and demand BS propaganda bullshit that we keep hearing when you see the gas price rise every fucking week.  Conserving don't do shit when you try to and still the fucking prices rise time and time again.  And I dont by the notion that we have 1 billion cars and trucks on the highway all over the world.   Propaganda Bullshit.

Once again, we got severe storms last night and once again for the fifth time this fucking spring water in the basement again although I think I kept the fans on long enough to dry everything out.  You might hear a explosion when I go home and see everything is wet but I pray that won't happen.  But then again, seems like the prayers of this state has fallen on deaf ears as mother nature continued to throw every fucking Monsoon, windstorm and F5 tornados to this area.  And we have been stuck in a this fucking holding pattern of a jet stream on us ever since fucking october.  We're not alone, the folks up around Dundee and Manchester have been praying for no more rain and instead get another eight inches last night to flood the highways up there.  People in Parkersburg been praying for dry weather to pick up from the F5 tornado and get more fucking rain and storms.

Now I can probaly see why Lisa never wanted to move out here, it rains even for her liking (and she is from oregon) and we get too much cold and snow and I'm sure had she seen a F5 tornado and survive that, shed be running back to the west coast.  I thought that we survived the wet weather last night but when I saw the water behind the damn washer and dryer, I thought "fucked again".  It's hard to keep on believing that things are going to get better when all it fucking ever does in this fucking state is rain rain rain or get tornados up the ass.  It's too bad you can't truck this shit to places that need it, cuz we Don't, but mother nature never listens, she sends yet another fucking storm system that rides the jet stream, sucks up the fucking Gulf Of Mexico and throws the shit at us.  The water table index is something like 7 and a quarter inches of rain, We DONT NEED NO MORE FUCKING RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd sell my soul for one dry month, or three weeks of no rain and fucking dry things out.  I'm sick of fucking, like the rest of y'all in this state, cleaning up water in the basement since it will not dry out cuz the ground is too fucking wet.  So we get two glorious days of sunshine this week but next week we have chances of more fucking rain every fucking day.  It just makes you want to give up and move the fuck out of this state but you can't cuz y'all can't afford the fucking gas to go anywhere.

So once again, I didn't sleep at all last night, due to the rains and moving fans into their usual spots in case of fucking water in the basement.  I didn't shut off the fans in the shower, that place always have a small stream going into the drain from the wall.  Next month, IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING, i'm going to try to put down some more Drylock around the effected areas and hopefully won't have that problem but even with four leaf clovers in the yard, our luck sucks at best.  If there's any consolation all the earwigs will be washed away so I won't have to worry about them this year but again, I remain skepitcal at best.

So excuse me folks, I must go walk out into the interstate and go kiss a semi.
