It’s been so long since we’ve seen snow in the Salt Lake Valley that when I saw this outside my classroom window, my mind went straight to an episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun.
The first time they saw snow, Harry freaked out thinking it was Albino Brain Chiggers, which would eat their brains.
Try explaining that reference to a bunch of 13 year olds.
Just started the 3rd season of "3rd Rock from the Sun". Just as funny as ever. Each season came with it's own "A Guide to Living on Earth" and I read the first two the other day. In the first one is a thing on human games. Dick (it's supposedly written by the High Commander) makes an interesting observation about human games in his description of Bobbing for Apples:"Many human games are built around the delightful childhood fantasy of being handicapped: blind (pin the tail on the donkey), Siamese twins (3 legged race) or brain damaged (boxing). In the bobbing for apples game, a human plays the part of a double amputee whose nourishment has been cruelly tossed into a lake."
And this is his description for Darts : "Drunk people throw sharp objects in a crowded, dimly lit room."
I decided to take 2 weeks off from Chevron so I could have a couple weeks of nothing before school starts up again. Well, tonight at 10:01 pm that 2 weeks started. Yippeeee! And what do I find when I get home? The first 3 seasons of 3rd Rock and the first season of Night Court that
I ordered. Yeah, I'm gonna look a little like John Lithgow in the episode where he gets the new computer and hooks up to the internet. So, if at any point I agree to peel myself off the couch and go to lunch/dinner/a movie with you, you just might want to bring a can of Lysol or some noseplugs...........see ya in 14 days.
