The Center for Artificial Indifference

Random Observations…No.7

  • With the FREE Nashville City Paper everyday, the FREE weekly Nashville Scene, and a few other FREE local rags, why do people still pay for The Tennessean? Why do I?
  • Rather than rate people on a scale of 1 to 10, why not place them on the FM dial. Most of the really worthwhile stuff is toward the low end. (Hint: NPR, PRI)
  • Speaking of which … do a Google search on pubic radio. I just did this and got about 1,150,000 hits (in 0.24 seconds). Some, like mine, were the result of typos, others, perhaps more interesting finds, were not…
  • Speaking of which, again … my ex-mama-in-law once heard the term AC-DC and later referred to someone thought to be bisexual as AM-FM.
  • It must be coincidence without meaning, but therapist is “the rapist“.

    Have you seen that SNL, where they have that Celebrity Jeopardy skit with Sean Connery?

    I think it made that “The Rapists” line famous…enough that there was a hidden tribute in some unit dialogue in Warcraft 3.

    “The Rapist”…hmmm, I know several people who would subscribe to that theory. Thanks Winston…

    You reminded me of the time on “Arrested Development” when Tobias claimed to be the first doctor to combine being an “analyst” with being a “therapist.” Unfortunately, he almost got arrested for handing out business cards that read, “Tobias Funke-analrapist.”

    Thanks for the chuckle.
