Absent For A Bit ....

I am away for a little while working on a few or more episodes for The Adventures of My Space Alien Alter Ego story ... will return (to Earth) soon!

Notice: Blogger has screwed up and lost a bunch of photos out of my blog! They are replaced with a gray silhouette of a human head. I will eventually get them replaced with the correct photo, it may take a while to find and fix everything. So some of my stories don't make much sense without their photos, sorry for the inconvenience.

A Dead Russian Spy Stuck On My телевидение

There is a dead woman stuck on my teleBision.

I woke up at 1 AM on Thursday in my livingroom after watching TV. I had been watching Fargo for the third time (its a Tuesday show repeated) after seeing The Americans twice (Wednesday's show) but then I noticed that The Americans was playing for the third time (natural sequence of events on FX). But it was strange waking up to a TV screen that wasn't moving. The woman had left her bathroom after being suspicious and got her hidden 45 pistol from between the towels and was being sneaky in the hallway. She will be killed soon.

Only now its 5 hours later at 6 AM and she is in the same position. I am wondering, "Is there nobody working at FX to make sure their broadcast is functioning? Is their player just stuck on Pause?"

I think our greatest threat to national security is understanding why that piece of breakfast burrito mysteriously fell (jumped???) off my fork and onto the floor. When too much food starts fleeing, the terrorists have won. My current thought is dynamic remotely initiated center of gravity shifting of the food particle once it has begun the on-my-fork transport phase incorporating a proper time delay.

The new digital cable box is like having a TiVo without the ability to record anything.

The Up and Down buttons for the channel change do not have the ability to handle scrolling through the channels if you hold down on the button. I think practically aLL teleBision remotes have done that for a long time.

I figured out a new way to annoy my wife using my dog without even trying or knowing.

I let my dog Cooper outside in our backyard while I went next door to check on the neighbor's dog.

While I was gone Tamie let Cooper back inside. Cooper has a sense of humor and knows that sometimes I play Hide 'N Seek when she lets him back inside. He is looking aLL over the house for me and making whining complaints while Tamie is trying to teLL him that I am not here, that I am neXt door. But he doesn't believe her. Would you?

The digital signal can freeze with us if the signal is suddenly lost, the box just sits there waiting for the next image but holding the last one it has. It does not happen that often with us but I think I have a dodgy aerial and it hates Mist.

I think with Fargo I have seen Episode Three so I must go and view episodes one and two so I know what is happening.

I am sure I would believe your wife but I am not a dog.

Rob: Thanks for the technical eXplanation for the freezed frame. I am new to this piece of equipment and did not think of that reason.

I have been pretty sure that you were not a dog. My dog has been sick for a few days and I hope he is on the mend.

I have been eXtremely busy because we have a few seasonal manufacturing projects that last for brief periods during certain parts of the year, only they have grown in magnitude. Plus in the middle of this session a fresh new college graduate arrived to start doing cosmetology work, so there is some training and orientation to do.

I was slightly amused by the thought of doing cosmetology work and a requirement for orientation. I have an image of you pointing at someone and saying . . . . this end is the head and this end is the feet.

I thought I was the only person to play hide and seek with a dog. Will wonders never cease.

fmcgmccllc: My son plays hide and seek on a massive scale at our business with his tiny dog.

Rob: Hahahaha, you might be surprised how little worthwhile training our local graduates have. It is shameful that they spend a year at college and then really learn useful correct procedures from my wife in a much faster time, and on the job. So you are correct, hair on one end, pedicure work on the other.
