[apocalypsos]

Dear God,

We here at Celestial Cable have noticed by watching the obituaries of our local newspaper that we may have a slight problem on our hands. Considering those famous people who've passed on this year, we checked our records and realized that you've only been getting VH-1 (Maurice Gibb, Johnny Cash, Warren Zevon, Barry White), TV Land (Gordon Jump, Buddy Ebsen, John Ritter, Nell Carter), Turner Classic Movies (Donald O'Connor, Katherine Hepburn, Bob Hope, Gregory Peck, Hume Cronyn), HBO (Charles Bronson, Gregory Hines), and PBS (Mr. Rogers).

We apologize profusely and, in an effort to restore some sort of balance to the universe, have left you with only MTV, reality programming, "Street Smarts", and C-SPAN. Also, if Carson Daly is not smited within the next week and a half, you will be receiving the collected works of Anne Rice.

We'd say more, but a very annoyed man with a sickle is standing behind us while we type this.

Sincerely,

Celestial Cable

It's the bass player from "School of Rock". I downloaded the music video off Apple Trailers and I just thought she looked really cool in that shot.

HAW HAW.

Christ, you're funny. That made my day; I might have to print this out and post it on my fridge.

Drop CSPAN from that list; Strom Thurmond (finally) died this year, too...

LOL, yeah, but the Reaper really wants to get back in there and do a bit more whacking. ;-)

ROFL! Well, you can add George Plimpton, the original one-man *reality program* - and Althea Gibson for ESPN, I guess. And how ironic that TCM was paying tribute to Elia Kazan earlier tonight, when his death was being announced elsewhere?

Also in lieu of Carson Daly - how about the guy who used to play "Whitey" on Leave It To Beaver? (Stanley Fafara) Chalk him up to Nick at Nite. ;)

Oh, and TP? I've tried to get word of your continued greenness to one Tuna Troll, but she's not popped out from under her bridge for ages now. I kinda shudder to think what she and The Evil One are up to these days!
