Imsayin

As Spinal Tap said there is a fine line between creative and stupid. I have walked that line, tripped over that line, and yes crossed it on both sides more times than I can count. So reader, if you can accept that then read on....if not thanks for stopping by.


Glad to see you still here, introductions are in order. My friends call me Bing, my Mama named me differently but Bing will suffice for now. I'm the type of guy that is easily irritated and quick to give up on an argument once I feel the other person is beyond the scope of my ability to save. Its not that I'm never wrong, its just that I don't stick around long enough to be proven wrong unless I am really, REALLY interested in my own ignorance. Which from time to time is a great thing to be, once you realize your own ignorance (not stupidity...two different things) you realize that ignorance is truly bliss at times....damned annoying other times.

So let's begin shall we?
Bing's Top Ten "Let me die rather than sit through this again" List

10- Paris Hilton in any way, even the porn vid was annoying.

9- American idol (only good thing is that judge everyone hates, "You are a terrible singer". They should hear that said to them....they DESERVE to hear it)

8- Led Zepplin (folks get over it, there is other music out there....innovative, yes--the end all be all of music, hardly..)

7- Political Campaigns (this past election year I swear I would have gladly signed away the right to vote for the rest of my life if they had all just SHUT THE HELL UP!)

6- Having to make more than one trip to, with, or from the car.

5- Guinness Beer (I must not be manly enough, just tastes like fizzy ass to me)

4- People who complain about the cold. (put on a jacket you dumb shit!)

3- Greedo shooting first (he didn't...end of discussion)

2- Musicals (I have some friends who love them so I am open to the idea that it is me who is missing the point here)

1- Eminem (dude, you're white...get over it)




The Greedo comment made me think of this......."Enterprise" the Star Trek prequel attempt that was recently cancelled, had some promise until the "Star Trekkie" writers got involved. To illustrate here is the template of every Star Trek episode save about 5 since Captain Picard took hottie Troi to the stars.

Open (0-2 mins into show)
Problem is identified and grows in intensity (2-44 mins into show)
Problem is at its worst, failure imminent (44-50 mins into show)
Problem solved by some flux capacitor setting and/or time travel (50mins to end of hour)

Don't believe me?... watch the clock next time ST is on. You want good Sci-Fi? Try Babylon5....its dated as hell in its look by now but give it a chance, superb writing, excellent characters, great story arc. All on a budget of about $8.75 an episode.

Okay, let's switch gears before I start sounding like a 45 year old virgin living in Mom's basement. (some of you are no doubt thinking "Start!?") I know, I know.



Okay, maybe not then. I got on a run with the sci-fi and hate list so now my brain is empty...I'll be back when I fill up.
