BOGO

What the hell is up with BOGO. It use to be, when I was a kid (and even well into the early 90's) that BOGO meant Buy One Get One. Get One. That means FREE. Buy One Get One Free. Nowadays, all I see on the tv are adds that bastardize this concept. "BOGO- Buy one get one (half off) ". That's not GET ONE. That's "get a discount on the second item". Such a crock.

Te weather held today - slight rain off and on, though. That prevented us from going to the zoo. In the summer, we would have gone anyways - and used umbrellas, but with some of us sick (some getting over beign sick), and how cool it kinda was, I didnt want to chance it.

And speakign of "What a crock of shit" , if you have waaay too much reality in your life, try watching "Numbers". In a previous episode, they looked at the shadows cast by a basketball hoop (in photos) to determine the exact (and I mean EXACT) location of the hoop. They pegged the actual house. I can see using math to tell the city, perhaps, but to pin it down to the exact house...BS!

Tonight, they are using math to find a bullet, in a BIG ASS CITY, that was fired from a handgun into th eair. They don't even know the angle of trajectory. $20 says they somehow will knwo precisely where to find it.

Also, after watching certain tv shows, you start to question others. Like watching Law and Order (legal procedue), and then see another show where the cops mess up an arrest, but get a conviction. Or watching CSI, and then see this bimbo cop on Numbers touch evidence wihout any gloves on (and they are looking for unknown suspects.) Betcha they'd find them a lot faster if they'd stop CONTAMINATING THE FUCKING EVIDENCE!


Having a degree and a background in the criminal justice system can really ruin
some tv shows

    Shannon, I was watching Numbers. It got so ridiculous I said to Dad, "Aren't the Olympics on? I rather watch 'ice dancing.'"
