If it was a plane crash, failed ripcord or gears of a combine, we would never close our eyes 'till the whole shit house went up in flames. But based on Friday prime time television, and Tylenol PM, unless something cool is on the History/Discovery Channel, we are likely calling it a night in a few hours. We believe the actual ballpark time of the end of the world is 6:00 p.m. tomorrow night-like 24 hours exactly, but does that mean each time zone is obliterated a segment at a time?? And if so, is Morgan Freeman president of America or South Africa or Shawshank, or merely narrating, as civilization is thrown into the pits of Dundalk , umm, we mean some sort of judgmental soul-sorting process purgatory thingy?? We also believe the main event at Pimlico is only moments after this time.Truth be told, this in when it is so disappointing that the Oriole's are already fighting injury and ineffectiveness {other than their starting pitching}. They are playing the Nationals at home right now-it looks like a cripple fight. Did we mention our bullish advice to purchase Netflix and microwave popcorn stocks?? Don't be surprised if it turns into a brief REM music thread. Back when chocolate bars were a nickel, they were a damn fine orchestra.

Notice how Letterman talks to Peter Buck as band leader due to Michael Stipe's agoraphobia until the song starts. This song was not really even named yet. It became a campfire acoustic classic-South Central Rain..'These rivers of suggestion are driving me away."}.

BTW-AS AN HILARIOUS UPDATE-WE ARE SAVING MONEY BY NOT EATING OUT MUCH, BUT WE MAY NOT EVEN NEED NETFLIX TO ACHIEVE CABLE RATINGS VICTORY. IT APPEARS TONIGHT IS 'DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S' ATTEMPT TO SEE PEOPLE DIE IN THE WILD. TONIGHT IT IS "DUAL SURVIVAL" WHICH FEATURES ONE KIND OF SANE GUY, BUT ONE GUY WHO WALKS THROUGH SNOW, AND ALLIGATOR SWAMPS, IN SHORTS...WITH NO SHOES. NO...SERIOUSLY! ADDENDUM, NOW WE REMEMBER THAT EVEN THE SANE EX-MILITARY GUY SLIT HIS ARM WITH A KNIFE, ON PURPOSE, SO THAT THE HIPPIE DUDE COULD POUR BLACK POWDER INTO THE WOULD, AND LIGHT IT, TO SHOW HOW TO CAUTERIZE A WOUND. NO...SERIOUSLY..AGAIN!
BTW-IT IS TURNING INTO A NETFLIX EVENING [Even more so now; we haven't watched what has to have been a grueling trainwreck, but the Nats are beating the Os 13-5 in only the 6th inning]. WE DID FIND THE SHORT CLIP OF MORRISON EXCLAIMING "I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT I AM GOING TO HAVE MY KICKS BEFORE THE WHOLE SHIT-HOUSE GOES UP IN FLAMES."
