I picked up some DVD's the other day of One Step Beyond. That was a show about supposedly true supernatural experiences that came out in the early 60's. Good show. No wild special effects or anything like that. An adult show that told of unexplainable things.

I've just recently started to watch Once Upon a Time which is really good light-hearted mystical kind of series where fairy tale characters are stuck in the real world and they don't remember who they are. It's fun to guess which fairy tale they are and Rumplestiltskin kicks a**! :D

Rooster's into Fear Factor, so I've been watching it, too. Anyone catch last week's, with the snakes? One person had to lie down and get covered with snakes (constrictors), and the other had to transfer 'em (the snakes) onto this scale-thingy...using only their mouth. I was worried about the snakes! I'm yelling "be careful! don't bite 'em! don't hurt the little snakey-wakey-boos!" yeah, I was laying it on thick, but see...well, we went on a day trip up north a few months ago, and we're walking through the woods while some hunter is....hunting. Shooting. Actively. Enthusiastically. I was a bit nervous, as I felt we might as well have had targets attached to our backs, but he was just strolling around...until we came upon a couple of snakes. Totally harmless (we were in northern Wisconsin), but...well, it was time to go! The Rooster does not like snakes. So yeah, the snakey-wakey thing was a bit of revenge. Anyway, he finally tweaked: "THE [censored] SNAKES ARE [censored] FINE!!!". Thought I'd be exempt from Fear Factor after that, but nooooo.....
How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

I think I saw Fear Factor once. Wasnt there one where these guys had to get into a tank of water with electric eels? Speaking of snakes, my oldest son and I went to this old concentrator for the old Dividend mine, it was in ruins on the side of a hill. I wanted some bricks for a border thing around the wife's flower beds, so we went up to it and threw a bunch of bricks down the hill to the road. We were there for about an hour until we got a truckload and went home. We stopped at my mother-in-laws place on the way back, she asked us where we got the bricks. I told her at the old concentrator near Goshen. She kind of turned white and said, "my God, some guys went up there last weekend and killed 200 rattlers!" I told her well, they must have got them all, we didnt see any. Never did go back to rattlesnake heaven.

Yoiks! Yeah, I wouldn't mess with rattlers. I didn't mess with the ones we found in the woods, either, but I did take a bunch of pictures! Did you freak out, after? Like, that'd feel like a brush with death, almost.
So what's with this Howie Mandel-"Mobbed" thing? I watched part of it tonight. Just seems...kinda psychologically unsound.

@ Crusher, Rattlers are kind of unerving. Since you are a musician, have you ever heard of putting rattles in an acoustic guitar? This old guy I knew, he played in bands for years told me about it. He said it gives the guitar a distintive sound. I taped an 8 button rattle on the back of my banjo and it gives it more of a ringing sound.

I dunno that I'd call me a musician...I natter around and annoy people at open mikes. I know a lot of musicians, though, and I have heard a rattlin' geet. I've got a friend who makes lap steels ("Lowebros"--his last name is Lowe. He's clever.), and we got into a looong conversation about acoustic effects one night. Drunken night, probably.
I'm still working on that complicated technique where you hold the pick in such a way that it doesn't go flying off into the audience, myself.
Do you have any (MP3) recordings of your banjo, rattled up? I'd like to hear that...unrattled'd be cool, too, actually.

And...ummm...I watched The Office tonight. The last 20 minutes of it.

I have that problem with picks, too. I got in a fight with a skill saw a few years ago and it won. I dont have any feeling in the fingers on my right hand. I just use my dead finger like a pick, and bang away with it. Ive got some stuff on cassette tapes, me banging a few chords and singing. Oh, favorite TV shows. I watched some old Honeymooners that Ive got on DVD. I dont watch TV much, theres only one station here and its off more than its on and all they show is Mexican soap operas.

Owwwwwouch! Man, remind me not to complain about my lack of ability, regarding anything whatsoever.
Hey, I love The Honeymooners!
I watched the first few minutes of Peter Gunn, just for the theme song.
