Sometimes the hurried’er we go, the behind’er we get.…

You must be 18 to enter, sometimes this Victor person says things that are a little “off color”, enter at ur own risk.

Ole Walt is in trouble. Seems, back during a 2003 broadcast of “NYPD Blue”, 52 ABC stations (owned by Disney Co.) showed a shower scene where a boy surprises a woman as she prepares to take a shower.

A $1.4 million dollar fine has been proposed. The scene depicted “multiple close-up views of the woman’s ‘nude buttocks’ “ according to an agency order issued last week.

FCC’s definition of indecent content requires that the broadcast “depicts or describes sexual or excretory activities” in a “patently offensive way” and is aired between 6am and 10pm.

The agency said the show was indecent because “it depicts sexual organs and excretory organs - specifically an adult woman’s buttocks.”

The FCC has rejected the network’s argument that “the buttocks are not a sexual organ.”

You would think ABC would have done a little history check on the matter. You see, in 1993 (The Newlywed Game, ABC) Bob Eubanks asked a female contestant “What’s the most unusual place you’ve ever made whoopee?”… the contestant responded, “That would be up the butt, Bob.” Hehe.

For grins - when the husband came out, same question for them to hopefully earn points. His answer “in the sink.”… “I’m sorry, your wife said “in the butt.”… “Damn,” he retorted, “I almost said that.” The end.

Dead Satellite may crash to earth. A large US spy satellite has lost power and may hit Earth in about a month. It is not known where the satellite could land. Damn the luck it won’t be football season then… Do u think the insurance companies (u know, like when you wreck your car) would give us a new football team if it happened to land upon the Kansas City Chiefs?

Seen two crows flying South the other day. One was way, way aheada the other. It conjured up mems of many things. I had a wonderful aunt who was quitea talker - and her patient hubby, found it rare he could get a word in edgewise, ie, keep up. Now she’s gone, and he’s lost.

It reminded me of Frank Martin, current Kansas State basketball coach. You haveta like the guy. He was a chubby gym rat as a kid, but each and every team he tried out for cut him. He was way behind in starting his career. His love for the game led him to even further absorb himself in basketball - taking in hella games, clinics, and he read virtually every book on the subject. Finally a high school junior varsity job… he inched closer in eventually becoming the varsity coach… an assistant college coach… and finally, some 22 years later - he’s now the K-State Head Coach. The chubby kid caught up.

Reid and Soanya. Been awhile since we’ve talked of them. These are the two that are attempting to break the Word Record for continuous sailing without stop. The record is 600+ days, they’re somewhere in the Southern Ocean, at 280 days and counting. Their goal is 1,000 days - thus, they’re website 1000days.net. Reid is like 53, Soanya is 23. So I thought of her as the leading crow, and him trying to keep up. Seems I’ve under estimated him - as listening to all he does to keep the schooner afloat and going in the right direction - tires me to think of it. Soanya, having seasickness virtually 60% of the time, appears to now be the lagging crow.

Me. For twenty plus years, was the “8 year older” hubby. I felt like that back crow. I’d getup every morning and see how much older I looked than her. I planta one day catchup to another ‘crow’, fly side by side. Like my uncle. Like Frank, his passion. Like Reid, his wherewithal.

And besides. I’ve always enjoyed the view from behind. Beats the hell outta the sink.

Happy day,
Love Victurd
