20 minutes of Rod Serling

I am just finishing watching a documentary about Rod Serling.

It was cool, but after 20 minutes it got boring and all I wanted to do
is subscribe to Net Flix and rent the Twilight Zone episodes.

Some times the work is more interesting than the life.

Not if Serling had done the documentary. Sometimes the talent of the
person doing it is more important than the subject matter.

Serling was a brilliant screenwriter. Probably the best around. If given a
choice between RS and Gene Rodenberry, I'd have to go with RS even though
classic Star Trek is awesome.

Hi J.A. Bailo [ a.k.a. rawrite ] ,
You say :
Your work is sometimes more interesting than your play .

I'm reminded of that ancient Chinese curse :
" My your life be interesting " .

I just received my John Coltrane CD from Amazon Marketplace and listened
to "The Ultimate Blue Train" at work.

So yes, work is good.

Do you use big-ass open-air Sennheiser headphones for that ?

There's nothing better , Nothing better .

with truffle pate ,
brandy and with a fried egg on top and Plonk .
Wife :

Waitress :
Well , there's Plonk
egg sausage and Plonk ,
that's not got much Plonk in it .
Wife :
I don't want ANY Plonk !
Man :
Why can't she have egg bacon Plonk and sausage ?
Wife :
THAT'S got Plonk in it !
Man :
Hasn't got as much Plonk in it as Plonk
egg sausage and Plonk , has it ?
Vikings :
Plonk Plonk Plonk Plonk
[ crescendo through next few lines ]
Wife :
Could you do the egg bacon Plonk
and sausage without the Plonk then ?
Waitress :
Urgghh !
Wife :
What do you mean ' Urgghh ' ? I don't like Plonk !
Vikings :
Lovely Plonk ! Wonderful Plonk !
Waitress :
Shut up !
Vikings :
Lovely Plonk ! Wonderful Plonk !
Waitress :
Shut up ! [ Vikings stop ] Bloody Vikings !
You can't have egg bacon Plonk and sausage
without the Plonk .
Wife [ shrieks ] :

Man :

Vikings [ singing ] :

Man :
