tv
Do you read “I Love TV”? It is a column in The Stranger (a Seattle weekly) and The Mercury (a Portland, Ore. weekly) and possibly other publications of which I am unaware. The author, WmTM Steven Humphrey, is a goddam genius. He makes me laugh out loud, usually by discussing television shows I don’t even watch. (Regular readers of this space will surely know what show I *do* watch. Ahem.) Witness the following sentence, describing the new show “Point Pleasant” on FOX:
“Unluckily for the locals, she possesses weirdo persuasive powers, thanks largely to her mom who forgot to put in her IUD before riding the wild baloney pony with SATAN.”

I suppose betraying my crass sensibilities on the World Wide Web might prove to be a liability someday, but I must admit that as I was waiting for my latte to be frothed up by BaristaCrushChuck yesterday, I read that baloney pony sentence 4 full times because it was so high lair ius. We tend to latch on to the same shizzle, yo. To even the cultural score, I also listened to shimmering snippets of speeches by Dr. MLK Jr on NPR.
