Television. Who the fuck wants 30-odd channels of repeats from 30 years ago?

All those bits on the map that used to be coloured pink? They're all much worse now.

Nothing like a fresh slaughtered chicken that's lived a stress free life right up until the moment of departure for taste. They allow them to see what's happening to the chickens in front and that is what spoils the flavour with internal urination.

Pork, beef, lamb, turkey, chicken. Fish is still OK unless you get the farmed stuff. Maybe my tastebuds are aging, but they all taste like pale imitations of what they used to be.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It's probably better than 30-odd channels of what's being churned out today. :zilla:

I like to watch Airplane Repo at the airport lounge. Especially the episode where the incredibly egotistical snake-milking-tiger-training repo man had to use 2x9v batteries to raise the input voltage to a Ground Power Unit so it would activate and charge the starters in a $4M Gulfstream bizjet he was swiping for a $400k payday. Then the flamboyant-deadbeat debtor shows up in his Lambo and attempts to match egos with Repo Man in a jousting duel using his Lamborghini against his Gulfstream on the taxiway before his smokin' hawt DSP evidently persuades him of the ultimate Lose/Loseness of his present totally macho course of action, "especially with all this fucking coke in the car"...


This is The Discovery Channel, BTW. :{D
