Talking Head TV Shows, or, I Need to Get a Life
OK - this is just another example of me commenting on something that is of absolutely no human value or concern to anyone, I guess. Except me, maybe - that's why I'm talking about it.
I watch too much TV in the morning and afternoon - ya' see, I'm retired and I'm not one of those retired guys that needs to keep busy. I'm perfectly happy vegitating out and being a lazy bum.
Anyway, I got hooked watching all of the political talking head shows on cable TV - MSNBC, CNN, (and Fox when I want to laugh at those right wing morons who are always good for a chuckle or two). I watch Countdown, Hardball, Wolf Blitzer, Rachael Maddow, I watch them all.
Here's what bugs me about all of them. They all have interviews with public and not so public figures. They all ask questions of these folks, who then give their answers, followed by more questions, blah, blah, blah.
Then the talk show host says, "Well, we gotta go, THANK YOU for being on the show!
And then, the guests always, ALWAYS, reply the exact same way - EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM - with the following response: "Thank You."
Thank You??? Thank You? Why are they saying "Thank You" after the host said "Thank You" first?
This bugs me. It's stupid, I know, but, it bugs me.
WEREN'T THESE PEOPLE EVER TAUGHT THAT THE PROPER RESPONSE TO THANK YOU WAS "YOU'RE WELCOME!"?!?!?!?!?"
Geez, it just annoys the hell out of me. I'd settle for a "Thank YOU," with the emphasis on the You, but, they don't even do that!
Yeah, I know, you don't have to say it... I've got too much time on my hands...

yeah mom hot dogs apple pie,.smith and wesson sad.
Whoa! Wierd... I guess shooting people is the American way.
Breaking news,..just in Anyone hear about the guy that went to a field (not sure where around here in the out lining area) Asked a man about a job there and the man told him there wasn't any right now. The man shot him in the the arm. That isn't the way to get a job. But they said it was a sign of the economy (so Jim Scott said). Just caught the tail end of the story, but was just on the news.
Plant veggies and fruit and invest in a security system,..ahem yeah a weapon, be it a pistola or rifle. People will be wanting yo shitznit when the stuff hits the fan soon.
I love vegies!
i have already planted some!! hahahaha people think im a freak but guess what SUCKS FOR THEM!
Bout the only thing in the future you will afford is vegetable seed and fruit seed. plant you own garden and sustain yourself,.these are the days of the financial collapse,..welcome to it ;)
i have a simple solution.
Shut off The cable & read. this solves many problems, It saves your money, you are subjected to the 24 hour media they call news, and honestly Books are better for you. AND! you probably wont be able to afford cable and food in the near future.
good luck.
ACE? Thank You
You need to take up wood working ,..macroma, gluing elbo macraroni to something!
But Thank You
hahaha.... I think saying THANK YOU right back is a way to humble yourself and be all like, "No, NO... don't thank me! Thank YOU"
Yah know? Otherwise if you say "You're welcome" it's like admitting that YES I in fact did you a GRAND FAVOR by allowing you to interview the greatness that is me on your show.
Anyways... I got a good chuckle at your annoyance. So thank you! ;)
