Title: Goddamn I wish I had a TV-B-Gone
Post by: Brotep on August 24, 2009, 04:52:27 PM
"Ellen" is on in the hotel lobby where I'm waiting for my ride.

With special guest Deepak Chopra.  Who proclaims with a straight face that money can't buy happiness while he plugs yet another stupid book.

Seriously, the man must be fucking loaded after all this time.  I mean, maybe not as rich as "Ramtha" but who is?

Most TVs (but not all!) have 'off' buttons.  Don't be afraid to use them - the gods of television are generally far too lazy to get of their couch and smite you.

If you can't find an off button, plugs and cable inputs work just as well.

It's an unfalsifiable statement.  You'd have to check the majority of television sets for 'off' buttons, and even if you fail to find them I can just say you weren't looking in the right place.

I'm sure you can't disprove me, at least.

Well, that all depends on what the meaning of "off button" is.

I just googled TV-B-Gone and now I have yet another item on my list of wonderful things that I must have.

Yeah...If this continues, I might just have one rush-delivered to the hotel lobby.

QuoteDeepak Chopra.  Who proclaims with a straight face that money can't buy happiness while he plugs yet another stupid book.

Money can't buy happiness. But it buys food and water and shelter. These things help me survive. I want to survive so I can continue to experience non-money-bought happiness.

sounds reasonable to me.

Seriously, the man must be fucking loaded after all this time.  I mean, maybe not as rich as "Ramtha" but who is?

How can you insinuate Ramtha is a fraud? I mean, the accent! And the pipe! She Smokes a friggin pipe, for christ-sake. Don't you know women can't smoke pipes? He/she's got to be authentic!

If by "trust" you mean a foreboding and vaguely bowel-upsetting sense that even so much as looking at that visage means my life is about to irrevocably change for the weirder, then yes.

Well right, but since I'm lactose intolerant, this bowel-upsetting feeling reminds me of going to Dairy Queen as a child and thus inspires nostalgia and trust.
