Phoning it in

   We stumbled on "The Lost Twin Cities II" on channel 2, aired as part
   of yet another fund-raiser. Narrated by Dave Moore, it's like Road
   House. You have to watch the rise and fall of the Prom on the Midway,
   and the Marigold Ballroom. My wife had never seen Axel and his Dog
   before. "What's that in the road - ahead?" "What would you do if your
   wife ate your pancake - batter?"
   During the intermission, Paul Douglas pitched the memberships, touting
   a hand crank weatherband radio premium for a certain lel . And then he
   mentions that this is particularly appropriate during this, the peak
   of the tornado season. It wasn't live, it was Memorex!
   Of course, with an inch of snow in New Orleans today, I wouldn't rule
   out a freak tornado up here in December. But regardless, I think
   that's pretty cheeky, pretending to be live while pretending to be
   poor.
