Lots of TV program premieres about to give it their all
and many "happy returns" (old favorites on the come-back trail)
THIS WEEK!

WHATCHUBEEWATCHIN'?

"IF YOU BELIEVE in one thing,
Stevens, believe this:
dodgeball ain't going nowhere."
--Coach Tugnut to Wren struggling to get dodgeball banned from school, Even Stevens

DODGEBALL.
I thought it would be a thing of the past
when I moved onto high school.
NO SUCH LUCK.

***laughingly shakes head and sighs***

YEP.
Dodgeball still springs eternal.
With that being said, come clean:

WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME you were verbally

CLOCKED
in the head?
(You know, a total "self-absorbed" loud-mouthed
you with an unsolicited opinion about you,
or something you were doing.)
?

I DON'T KNOW if "totally self-absorbed"
is a fair assessment or not, but--
YES. Yes, I do know.
IT IS.
Here's mine:

SparkleFarkle's Mother: Do you think you'll ever dye your hair again???

SIX WORDS:
Live thrown ball ABOVE the shoulders!

LOL! Your turn!

"WELL, BEAVER, this may be hard for
you to believe, but life isn't exactly
like television."
--Ward Cleaver, Leave It to Beaver

JUST FOR TODAY, wouldn't it be fun if it was? Life exactly like TV? I'm going to give it a go! How about you? Yeah! I'm picking my all-time favorite episode of Leave It to Beaver and living it for the next twenty-four hours! Likewise, I'm sure? (I knew I could count on you!) I can't wait for a spontaneous chunk of "authentic" rock & roll music --shaken, not stirred with a smitch of beatnik jazz riding shotgun-- to play every time I enter a room!

"Wally's Haircomb"
Season 2, Episode 34 - 1959

SIX WORDS:
Eat your heart out, Donald Trump!

Life is good!

RIP, my Mollo, Drea, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson,
Gale Storm, Fred Travalena, and Billy Mays. Enough already.

P.S. WHAT BE YOUR favorite episode
of Leave It to Beaver?

Michael Jackson
August 29, 1958 - June 25, 2009

YOU INSPIRED me to dance
to the beat of the washing machine.
On this first day after your untimely passing,
I'm glad it's laundry day.

FOUR WORDS:

Turn up the music.

RIP, my Mollo, Drea, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson.

FARRAH FAWCETT
February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009

"SHE HAD STARDUST on her."
--Ryan O'Neal

Peace.
Sweet and kind be peace.
