I just spent a week with cable/satellite access, which of course may not be novel for you but is always exciting for me. Except, not so much this time. Sure, I got to watch the Daily Show and Colbert live for the first time in a long time. And I got to see a few eps of MXC which, frankly, I'm ashamed to admit that I found highly amusing. (Plus, they show tons of The Three Stooges which is still totally awesome. When did I become the primary audience for Spike TV? Man, that disappoints me.)
Anyway, so much of cable was just crap. Maybe I was just watching the wrong things. Do we have the equivalent of a show that investigates how much fish hungry cats will carry away? I would watch that every week.

Saw this dude riding down S. 1st street on a scooter with a sidecar today with one girl behind him and one in the sidecar. Had no clue that a scooter could handle it or that they're actually mass producing these things. The one I saw looks like the picture in the extended description. [more inside]
