I am greatly grateful to have been company with this cadre of lunatics, literate liberals and kooky konservatives. It is nice to be among other people who enjoy parading their pinheaded, and pernicious peculiararities while opening their hearts to others and even my own overt over-the-hill opinions !
(Word play! Simple minds simple pleasures!)
It really doesn't matter much to me anymore what happens to Bree and the Bookends as long as they continue to provide inspiration and material for the humor, insight, political observations, thoughtful discourse and general bullshit that I have come to enjoy SO much.

Between you and Milo, my family thinks I am insane with all the outrageously belly laughs. Well done!!
If they don't put the Galien phorum thread on the DVD, they are insane.

It is nice to be among other people who enjoy parading their pinheaded, and pernicious peculiararities while opening their hearts to others and even my own overt over-the-hill opinions ! slainte, so very nice of you, and i am glad you are part of our strange band. so i am reading this interesting collection of essays commenting on modern pop culture by Chuck Klosterman, Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs, and the chapter i just finished talks about the success of the NBC teen sitcom "Saved by the Bell" An excerpt relevant to slainte's post: When I was a sophmore [in college], the only non-MTV shows anyone seemed to watch were Saved by the Bell, Life Goes On (that was the show about the retarded kid), Quantum Leap, the Canadian teen drama Fifteen, and Days of Our Lives. And what was interesting was that everybody seemed to watch them together in the same room (or over the telephone), and with a cultic intensity. We liked the "process" of watching these shows. The idea of these programs being entertaining never seemed central to anything, which remains the most fascinating aspect of all televised art: consumers don't demand it to be good. [sound familiar?] It just needs to be watchable. And the reason that designation can be applied to Saved by the Bell has a lot do with the fundamental truth of its staggering unreality. |
