...I started watching the past midnight game show channel offerings...and started to realize that...2K8 "game shows" got NOTHING on the games shows of the 70's!!!!!

...sure...you can go for the cool million now...but...back then...it was cool without the million...

...people back then would do or say just about anything for a BENNY!!!!!

...right now...it's a toss up between Match Game '75...or THE GONG SHOW!!!

...Gene Rayburn...Brett Sommers...Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Riley...VS...Chuck Barris...Jaye P Morgan...the Unknown Comic...and Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine...

...sure they were silly...sure there was alcohol flowing...but I find myself staying awake just to remember how funny and edgy they really were...

...people still remember Gene Gene dancing to "Jumpin' at the Woodside"...who remembers the first winner of Dancing with the Stars!?!?!

...with Survivor...Big Brother...Deal or No Deal...etc...you don't get the excitement of "No Whammies"...or...watching the top of the $25,000 pyramid light up....if you think today's game shows are better...you can kiss my BLANK...cue the Match Game music...

...I don't know...that's just me...

...ps...we'll be back with more STUFF...after this...

...as someone who has been purchasing cigarettes ever since the only decision was to buy "real" cigarettes...or menthol...I have had to pull out my license quite a few times to prove I was old enough to smoke them...

...fast forward life's dvr...twenty plus years...to last Friday...my best friend came into town to attend a wedding...now my friend didn't have to fast forward the dvr one or two plus years...so...we have always hovered around the same age...too young during disco...too old to understand iPhone without reading the instructions...with out-stretched arms...but...I was the one that got carded...if...we got carded at all...

...back to Friday...while I was sporting a Serpico-ish...young kids...go ask Mom...and Pattie...that's from a movie...amount of facial hair...with a touch of gray in a few places...and my friend was clean shaven...except for some mold...on his upper lip...he likes to call a moustache...we proceeded to a "Pop" stand...and...while waiting for Archie...Veronica...Betty and the rest of the gang...we decided to order some "pop"...I wasn't expecting to pull out my driver's license this time...BUT...I was stunned when they asked for his!!!!!...oh yeah...you can smoke INSIDE in Sugarland!!!!

...NOW...I didn't think anything about it...certainly not jealousy...but...possibly subconsciencely...that doesn't look right...the next morning...I was shaving...TOO closely perhaps...made a "mistake"...and...I had to shave my beard off...my friend made fun of me the rest of the day!!!!!...AND...neither one of us got carded...

...While I'm not ready for "Just for Men"...I haven't been in the market for "Clearasil" for quite some time...I HAVE decided to start a work-out plan...and...eat a little healthier...can't cut back on the energy drinks...not just yet...and to keep my "soul patch"...it's the only part that doesn't have gray in it...we'll see what happens...

...I don't know...that's just me...

…I just FINALLY broke down and bought an iPOD…not just any generic mp3 or 4 player…a 100% iPOD….only to see folks lined up to buy an iPHONE!!!!…so…I have decide that…it’s not the product that keeps changing…it’s the technology…

…I started loading my archaic iPOD and then saw where some bands are selling their “albums” on jump drives…and…after you download the songs…you can delete them from the jump drive…and…you now have a jump drive to load up anything you want!!!…why again did I buy the iPOD!??!?!?

…last year’s 1080i is this year‘s 1080p…plasma versus LCD…blu-ray or HD dvds…XM against SIRIUS…where does it end?!?!?…oh yeah…and…ALSO…I heard a commercial on the radio last night…yeah…I still listen to local radio every once in awhile…there is a radar for sell…that…is GUARANTEED to beat police speed detection…AND…if it doesn’t…they will pay the ticket!!!!!…it’s called the PHAZER II…costs $124.95...let’s see…a normal speeding ticket costs…around a C-note…you do the math…

…I got home…made a grilled cheese sandwich…on the stove…not the microwave…plopped down on the couch…not the LazyBoy “theater seat” lounge chair…fired up the Magnavox eight track player…STILL works…not the Denon home theater system…popped in KISS…Destroyer…not Linkin Park…Minutes to Midnight….dusted off the Audio Technics headphones with the long coily cord…not the infared wireless Sony headset…and drifted off to sleep…

…Beth…I hear you calling…KA-KLUNK (change to the next track)…but I can’t come home…right now…

…I don’t know…that’s just me…

...what is going on with all the Sanjaya bashing?!?!?

...I mean...not for nothing...but...I'd rather have my teeth cleaned without that numbing stuff that I wished they'd sell in six packs...than download a Sanjaya mp3...BUT…watching Idol this year has been…at least…for me…like…sitting in my Jeep…doing 10 mph…on the freeway…because there is a wreck on 59...that backs up traffic for miles…as you sit in your car…cursing everyone in front of you for rubbernecking…and…then…when it‘s your turn to…pass "the wreck"…you just HAVE to crane your neck to see if you can catch a glimpse of the yellow sheet….THEN…all of a sudden…when you see nothing…you start cursing the folks in front of you…because…there was no reason to slow down…in the first place… …Sanjaya was…for lack of a better phrase…that car wreck…we sat through Idol…until he was on stage…gawked at his ever changing hair…listened to his campy…Broadway style singing…and then…voted FOR him!!!!!…only to curse after we passed “the wreck”….

…now that the dust has settled...and...the wreck has been cleared…and…traffic is moving again on Idol…I wonder what Simon would think about Sam Harris…the “original” Sanjaya!?!?!?

…I don’t know…that’s just me…
