If memory serves, most of Culebra was shut down pretty tight for New Year's Day 2006. I'm kind of hoping there might be an establishment open with TV access to the Fox Broadcasting Network so I can catch my beloved Mizzou Tigers playing in the Cotton Bowl at 1230pm, AST. Has anyone heard who will be open and who closed on Jan. 1? Is Fox Network even available?
Thanks !
Doug

OK, here comes the lecture. You're going to be in paradise.....leave the TV at home.

| I won't even consider watching any other TV. While in Culebra I never care what's on the news or any show of any kind... EXCEPT... when you suffer through 30 years of dismal performance for a team to do something good, you ought to be there when they finally do. Try to understand...

| Guess you better make friends with someone who has a TV (that would not be me.)

OK, OK, IF Mamacita's is open, they have Direct TV (and a big wide screen). Heather's probably has it. Bahia Marina has it.
jeez, you're gonna be fun that day!

| IF I can find anyone open at 1230pm, I'll still be fun. You want to be within round buying distance when Ol Mizzou scores! Before it was Heather's it didn't open until 6ish; has that changed? If any Culebrenses or ex-p's would care to post holiday hours for businesses, it'd be a community service...

I just thought of someone else that maybe you could browbeat......our very own newspaper editor has DirectTV at Barbara Rosa's (of coarse you'll have to argue with him over changing the channel from FOX NEWS (yes folks, that is truth stranger than fiction)

| I'm more prone to bribery than browbeating. Jim, what's your pleasure, hangover cure-wise?

Fox FAN, Harley? let me guess, I'll bet it's the Fox Noise Division,
excuse me Fixed News, I'm sorry, (Dammit, let me try slowly)
F O X ...N.. E ..W ...S Whew! that is really hard to say. He (Doug)
didn't say he was a fan, just that he wanted to see his team
which by some twist of fate would be on the F-word Channel
while he was in lefty heaven.
I have dishnet, I paid a tech a $100 to rewire my box to block
the Roger Ailes Spin Network, ignoring it wasn't enough. Once in
awhile I would accidently tune into O'Lie-lly or Sean Insannity and
my Blood pressure would go through the roof from the
smugness and disinformation, IT WAS WORSE THAN BUSH!
Now I'm thinking about blocking CNN Headline and that "Dry-Drunk"
Glenn Beck. He's almost as repugnant as Mr. Wise Ass, that
would-be psuedo-intellectual, clench-jaw, Dennis Miller, i.e.,
"it's-not-about-oil" and "I don't care if we don't find the WMDs,
I like to see kids free to run around in the street" How about the
dead ones, Dennis? How about this pearl from Miller "Sure, the lion
is king of the jungle but air drop him into Antarctica, & he's just a
penguin's bitch” Our troops? Very funny, although mountain lions
came from russia through the bering straight and they just discovered
a siberian lion wasn't extinct after all.
What the hell is happening? I am witness to the brainwashing of a
Nation? Not me and when I point out the problem to a Fox fan they
hurtle the same rubbish they were brainwashed with as evidence of
how Fox gets it right.
Have you heard the pronouncements of William Kristol's and buddy
Charles Krathammer,(he's the one that looks like Frankenstein)
they love Iraqi's but hate liberals, How about the Beltway Boys's
Fred Barnes who is literally going senile on the air. And Brit Hume's
sleepy mumbo jumbo, it is unbelievable - almost funny.
Fox tried a spin-off of Comedy Central's Daily Show (which I don't
watch either, there is nothing funny about what is going on)
and it didn't fly. You wanna know why, the faithful fox
"noisies" couldn't tell the difference between it and the other "News"
shows and the Lefty Lurkers thought the regular shows were way
more funny.
I know all the mantras, Bill Moyers has an "agenda" but Fox is "Fair
and Balanced" , Lefties are Traitors (according to coke-head
Anne Coulter) and Righties are Patriots. I'm getting a headache.
My favorite: A week of brainwashing barage and then a
survey that shows the pubic agrees (got brainwashed)
For the few honest-to-God libertarian leaning real Republicans
left in the word..WAKE THE HELL UP! You have been hijacked
by Oil men and now they got our Nation. Where is Barry when we
need him (In the ground, dammit) and Warner just retired.
I think I just had an ischemic stroke, it passed, now I feel better.
Back to the point...
One thing the aforementioned network is good at, is sleezy
programming and Sports.
I guess we could bypass for one afternoon, on the condition
that if any of the bozos above are in promos someone blocks
the TV so I don't see it, or throw a towel over my head.Last edited on Wed Dec 12th, 2007 07:13 pm by Jim

Oh my goodness....I'm laughing so hard i'm crying.

Harley -- welcome to the conservative forum -- you should see the one frequented by the liberals.

| Just for clarity it's on the Fox Network of "Prison Break", "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader", and world series fame, not Fox News of Hannity and O'Reilley infamy. It pains me to do anything that puts money in Rupert Murdoch's pocket, but at least it isn't going into neo-con pundit piggy banks.

Jim,
Would I be correct in assuming that you don't have any strong feelings about this?

I just came back from dinner. We dined with a prominent surgeon
and his wife who is a Psychiatrist. I explained my post here and self-
admitted over-reaction. They think I'm suffering from Post
Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Vietnam was almost 40 years ago!
Unbelievable, but by symptom and associative reflexes (galvian etc)
they can almost pinpoint when the traumatic event occured.
Surprisingly I was cleared on Vietnam, family deaths, etc. it came
down to one weekend about two months ago! Here's what happened.
I was doiing my thing on the CC and regular routines, eating, etc.
It was Friday, about 7:30pm when all of a sudden my Dishnet box
froze in record mode. It was unfortunately (just momentarily) tuned
to Fixed News (I'll never forgive myself) It began recording and
contiued till the next day when it exhausted its capacity. Even though
we plugged and unplugged the unit it remained stuck.
After it quit recording I could only switch between Fixed News Live
and Fixed News Taped. I was in Fox hell. For the rest of the weekend
I was bullied, harrased, and verbally punished for my crime, ?? I wasn't
an enemy soldier I was a thinking man! For awhile I succumbed
almost to the point where I might make a propaganda statement,
like "I am a secular progressive, an evoloutionist, and horrors a
socially responsible humanist"
I fought back now yelling at the television "I'll see you bastards rot
in hell for torturing me and the rest of the sane world" I began to
e-mail them and taunt them, I had delusions they were e-mailing
me back, Finally Sunday night, Barbara came to the rescue,
bringing the Dishnet guy and the local doctor with a hypo,
I went into a deep sleep.
I guess like the battlefield, I had undergone incredible stress in
a hostile fire zone and an assault on reason and intellect, by an
enemy force, but this time by Fixed News. Am I entitled to
compensation?Last edited on Thu Dec 13th, 2007 05:39 am by Jim

| Without question a classic PTSD episode. I was hoping there would be a happy ending, like sunspots or a power failure. I think the solution for the future is a failover routine that, in the event of a FoxNews deathloop, shuts down the TV and fires up Country Joe and the Fish on the reel-to-reel.

Oh I almost forgot, there was a sunspot that enveloped the
earth with ultraviolet and x=rays which disturbed electronic
devices. My recovery was very slow until about three
weeks ago when PBS aired the Eric Clapton Chicago
Crossroads Concert. All the greats, Winwood, Beck, Willie,
B.B., It's the cure for anything. If you haven't seen it, it
is awesome, specially a hot set by Jeff Beck and an awesome
Aussie bass player named Tal Wilkenfield.
Here's a clip with Clapton Winwood with reasonable audio:

While we're on PBS, the other night they had the Lincoln Center Jazz Holiday Stomp. Wynton Marsalis, the artistic director, was only one of the many superlative musicians on stage.The first half was mostly fabulous variations on all your favorite Christmas music, with a New Orleans patois...The second half was Marsalis' collaboration with poet Maya Angelou, "Music, Deep Rivers in My Soul," which is a spectacular blend of jazz, gospel, blues, poetry and tap dance. I'll bring the DVD I have, when I come.
