G’day, boys ‘n’ gulls! Byron the Quokka here, with another weekend of fabulous TV brought to you by Quokka University, where grade point averages go to die. Here are just a few of this week’s offerings.
Saturday
5:45 p.m. Ch. 42 MONGOLIAN BASEBALL–“Free” baseball
Tired of having to pay fees to watch a ball game on TV? Well, one simple package deal, for a mere 49 cents, will bring you all sorts of sports from the heart of Central Asia. Today: Kalgan Kippers vs. Ulan Bator Bashmaks. Losing manager gets thrown off a cliff! With Yin Chee Ching in the broadcast booth. (English translation extra charge, please.)
6 p.m. Ch. 08 DATING GAME WITH CROCODILES–Social Justice TV
It’s always so much fun to watch the look on a contestant’s face when he (or she) learns he hasn’t won a blind date with a gorgeous partner, but only a hard push into a swimming pool full of hungry crocodiles. Commentary: Some guy who identifies as Julius Caesar.
Ch. 24 MAGIC TRICKS FOR CLUMSY OAFS–(It means what it says)
Want to be the life of the party? The Great Scappini will get you there–with magic! This week: Scappini’s classic Disappearing Coccyx trick. This was the illusion that convinced Ingrid Bergman that there was a walrus in her bedroom. Important Note: Watch the whole thing, or you won’t get the coccyx back.
OK, that’s three of ’em–three TV shows that’ll have you talking to yourself. I love those magic tricks!
Byron the Quokka, signing off!
G’day, ol’ buddy from Erlene. Thanks for the one about clumsy oafs- that fits me like a glove. Always good to see ya’.
Always good to see you, too, Erlene. Are you feeling any better?
Getting my scorecards ready right now for that baseball game! But I don’t think I remember the notation for managers being thrown off cliffs. Would it be the same as for being sent to the lockers?
They don’t have lockers. The crowd goes for “off the cliff.”
It’s the Mongolian custom. Fortunately, Mongolia has few cliffs, som y the time the tribunal finds a cliff, they usually forget who they were going to toss.
From Erlene- yes, today I feel slightly better than yesterday, which was a disaster from beginning to end, pain, extreme weakness, dizziness, twittering nerves and so many symptoms I don’t even know how to describe, but today, a little improvement, thank you.
We’ll keep praying for you.
You remain in my prayers.
how about a beautiful song by Carroll Roberson: Sheltered in the Arms of God (you probably know who I am)
Yeah, I think I do. I’ll post this first thing tomorrow.
