When I was a young lad of 13 or 14, my fellow guttersnipes and I would wander the streets of Altoona creating all sorts of mischief. We’d go to parking lots and pee in unlocked cars, throw apples or snowball at moving cars, shoot PSU students with bb-guns from the bushes as they got out of their cars–clearly we were frustrated at not being allowed to drive.
When we weren’t terriorizing automobiles, we’d invent other mayhem. One of my favorites was the TV Game. All the homes in Toon-town used the same cable box and thus the same remote. You could borrow the remote from the family den and sneak up to a neighbor’s window and change their channel. The trick was to change it back just as they stood up and inspected the box. You cannot believe how much fun this is.
Today’s pic is a new key chain device that will remotely turn off almost any TV by cycling through over a thousand different signals. I wish I had one when I was in a bar in Boston watching the baseball game the other night. I could have given some clam fishermen heart attacks.
…
I’ve stayed neutral and annoyed, but now I’m choosing sides; I’m officially supporting the Red Sox, soley so all those fans quit their perennial bitching. Bill Simmons had promised me; “If the Red Sox prevail against the Yankees and win the World Series, you will never have to read me whining about the travails of Red Sox fans again.”
Thank God.
