(LOL!)

*People begin tossing their tv sets out their windows and doors. The sets crash to the ground, some still showing commercially interrupted Olympic events and staged, inane biographies of the athletes. The Phreds urge the elephants to gather the pieces and place them all in an enormous pyre.*

*Bluebottle and Mari-rae get off their elephants and stand together looking at the pile of trashed tv sets.*

Bluebottle?

*glad he has a drink in hand for what could be a long wait*

*Goes to the fridge and mixes up a nice large vt for herself.*

Good point, Linus!




Marv is home sick atm. Send him some get well wishes!

*Smashes, burns and MELTS television sets in the intense heat*

Get better soon, Marv!

I haven't watched much but, I'll burn TVs with you!

Dr. D

Burn Em!!! Damn you NBC for airing the olympics rather than Conan O'brian!!!

Yay! Why can't they just broadcast a new Olympics channel so that it doesn't interfere with all the really impotrant things on TV that we all want to watch?
Such as documentaries on firewalking, fireworks displays and news about arson.

*Ignites a Sony 27".*

Burn, you blight on the face of western civilization!!



(Congratulations VP Bluebottle!!)

If they made an olympics channel, then they'd just play bad infomercials in between. I say they set up an on-line broadcast and leave it at that. They could have a page for each event, so that you chould watch only what you want - and it would be continuous, so they wouldn't have to worry that their audience would leave again for two years.

But maybe that's too practical...

Regardless, BURN TVS!!!

Congrats, Bluebottle!

Get better, Marv!

If it was run by the BBC you'd get good quality television with no adverts rubbish.

*Burns all TV Channels EXCEPT BBC*
BURN!!

*The flames leap higher and higher. The sets burn and crackle. Glass crashes. There is a hot stink of electronics melting. Black smoke mounts to the overcast sky.*

~Regards the pyre~ Adios. Vaya con Dios. Thanks for MASH.

Is there room for these hand held TVs?

Dr. D

And thanks for Northern Exposure.

Plenty of room!

And let us not forget Give thanks for that show that taught me how to drive (Ask Dr. D if you fail to believe) Dukes of Hazzard!

Thank you Gene Roddenberry, and Rod Serling.

*Is starting to mist up. ~sniff~*
