Tell me now or you'll be sorry...

Gotta go fast. Computer might crash.

L word again the other night...stupid intro song still there...and then there again...and again...throughout the entire episode. Still sucks.

Sick of local news' weather "teasers."

Friday 5:45 p.m.: "It's going to rain one day this weekend! Find out which one...tonight at ten."

Can't you just tell me when I'm watching you? Maybe I'm not going to be near a TV at 10 o'clock in order to find out these critical answers. I mean, the cameras were there...I was there...I'm sure there were probably other people watching TV at 5:45 p.m. on Friday...you KNEW which day it was going to rain...but still, you wanted to force me to watch at 10. Well, THANKS Mark Murray and your fucking Doppler Force Radar...thanks for nothing.

I spent a good chunk of time at the laundry mat on Friday cleaning all my bathroom and kitchen rugs...and some clothes too...but that's not what's important here. I really didn't want to dry these rugs in the jumbo commercial dryers where they'd probably just be melted and destroyed...so, I thought that air drying them on my backyard clothes line would be a better bet.

If Mark Murray's sorry ass would've just told me that it was going to rain all day Saturday and not Sunday, I could've enjoyed some DRY household rugs this weekend. But NOOOOO....you had to go and make me guess. And, as my prior gambling records can prove, I'm no good at games of chance.

Well, I guessed wrong...and I'm not really the one who suffered here. It was those poor rugs that thought they were going to get a nice spring-fresh breeze treat...only to be further soaked in cold, nasty winter rain.

You best watch your back...and not just you, Mark Murray, but ALL of you local news meteorologists with your "Is it going to be sunny for more than one day this week? I have the answer for you...tonight at 6!"

I don't like to be teased.

KEYE News might THINK it controls the awesome power of the Storm Tracker Viper...but, I'm plotting...and scheming...and, well, I've come up with nothing.

But, I'm working on getting a Doppler Mongoose Viper Tracker imported in from Bangladesh.

Yesssss...then we'll be cooking...I don't like to be teased.

Mel, you know better than to make the Weather gods angry with your noncompliance to nightly weather reports. Why do you think they call the radar, "VIPIR"? Hmmm?

But seriously, I think all these fancy acronyms are created to instill a sense of need and/or dependency upon meteorologists---no one can truly predict weather, especially not some little turd wearing a dickie-bow standing in front of a green screen pointing at something called VIPIR.

Sorry your rugs didn't dry. Better luck next time?
