Why don’t they re-name the Discovery channel the Motorcycle Channel? Or the Chop Shop Channel or the Gearhead Channel?
That way it might be appropriately named for all the crafty mechanics who customize motorized assemblies of metal, rubber and plastic into assorted odd shapes, like the balloon guy at kids’ birthday parties. A channel to celebrate those who prize exactitude in their tools and toys and calibrating their timing belts precisely. And for the people who enjoy the craftwork so much they watch it on TV, so they won’t confuse it with Henry Hudson or Amerigo Vespucci or some other wayward, meddling Euro-oppressor.
Maybe, if they renamed it The Internal Combustion Channel or some such, they could then have another channel for some of the guys out there who like precision in their vehicles but are baffled by the inexactitudes and variabilities of the women they meet. With programs devoted to measuring and modifying and understanding the whimsical moods of the females in their lives. They could even call it The Discovery Channel.
I find I can show off my inexactitudes to best advantage with a pair of silk suspenders and a tilted fedora.
I’ll bet with your inexactitudes, some fancy computer graphics to generate content, and some fun time spent with the people in wardrobe, you could have a hit program on The New Discovery Channel. You could explain femininity to the gearheads speaking their very language.
You want a half hour or a full hour?
Half, but I may change my mind.
Woman’s perogative (necessary, of course, to cater to feminine variability and inexactitude)
I so have the feeling I could soon regret that little joke. You see, I was just repeating what mechanically inclined guys who have difficulty understanding females have said to me …
after they were puzzled …
yeah, that’s it …
