There is a stupid little show on the Sci-Fi channel called Destination Truth. The single episode that I sat through had the crew of hyper-fearful "investigators" setting up equipment during the rainy season in Africa looking for some river monster that attacks villages. Below is my take on how the show is run:
Mr. Gates:"Today we are in a remote location somewhere near Cleveland looking for the legendary Creeping Willies. We have interviewed hundreds of witnesses who swear the Creeping Willies exist. Our team has spent countless hours of research turning up every bit of historical evidence for the Creeping Willies and we are very certain that with our high-tech equipment and sharp investigative insights they we will indeed capture the Creeping Willies on live television tonight.
11:PM: Okay, We've set up thermo-imagery Mass Spectrometer DNA tracking X-ray cameras that glow in the dark near some scary caves in remote Cleveland, Ohio where the most recent sitings for the Creeping Willies has been reported. I am certain that with any luck, our cameras will be the first to document Creeping Willies on television.
2:AM: (In a Whispering voice, Mr. Gates): We've had numerous interesting phenomenon so far as several team members have encountered what they believe may have been a close cousin to the Creeping Willies, the Heebie Jeebies. If those nasty phenomenon are close at hand, no doubt the Jibblies and Creeping Willies cannot be far away.
3:13 AM:(Sound of Crashing, followed by frantic running):
The jittery fast moving camera pans into toward a very frightened lesser crew member who is hyper-ventilating.
Mr: Gates: Miss Klutz what just happened? Why are all the super-hi-tech cameras destroyed?
Miss Klutz: I...I....I saaaaw it!!!
Mr. Gates: (re-assuring): What did you see, the Creeping Willies?
Miss Klutz: Yes, it happened so fast. I heard something and then there was a loud crash. It all happened so fast, I think it ate my kit kat bar! It was terrible!
6AM: Mr. Gates: Our crew was exhausted but exhilerated by the incredible experiences they encountered in the dark caves near Cleveland. Clearly something unexplained is going on there. Unfortunately our evidence was destroyed by those foul little beasts but first hand accounts prove that something is definitely going on here that cannot be discredited by even the most ardent sceptics. I hope to one day return to this place with even more equipment to once and for all document live a Creeping Willie.

This week I went to see The Golden Compass and Sweeney Todd at the dollar theater. I think the trailers for The Golden Compass really failed this movie. I really didn't have any interest in going to see it after seeng the trailers but for a buck I figured what the heck! The Golden Compass was far better than many fantasy movies I've seen recently. The children did a fine job acting, the CGI for once was not very annoying and the storyline was fairly interesting. I think what I enjoyed most was the motif that free thought and individualism were to be praised over the herd mentality we see so much of. Liberal. It seems to be a dirty word these days. I don't take well to the new term progressive. It suggests to me that we liberals need to be PC even when being labeled by others. I'm a flaming liberal. If you are easily offended and afflicted with close-minded hatred or just want to bash other people's comments this is not a good place for you. I will gladly respond to any comments posted however and thank you for your time reading my first post. |
