CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1

A Chapter by Jennifer Webster

     Ahh, there are things in this life that can be said for many things, and I do not think late-night infomercials is one of them…
     Well, consider a weatherman who had been trying to warn people of a devastating tornado, and then people start a-tweetin’ to complain about the fact that his report had interrupted The Bachelorette; And yes, he loses it. Now really, folks, there are certain things in this life that are more important than a half-brained reality show about dating or something. Hey, if it would make them happy, then maybe the weatherman should be the bachelor for the ladies, right?!
     Now listen, trying to find out how serious the weather is going to be is much more important than a person singing off-key; But then again, does any weatherman’s mother-in-law try to sing off-key?! I mean, think about this for a minute-Say a tornado’s coming, but you are just too busy watching America’s Got Talent, what would you do? Well, don’t call Howie Mandell to complain, that’s for sure? And what is with all those people being upset about their favorite show being interrupted for something that is otherwise very important that they tweet about it? Well unfortunately, so has President Donald Trump.
    Now, back when I was living in Philadelphia, PA before I moved to Dover, DE, I used to get upset over the fact that a daytime show would get interrupted/preempted by any breaking news story that news people break, yet one would have seen viewers wanting to break television sets over those things. You see, people like you and me should not ever be upset over our favorite TV show that otherwise rots our brains anyway being interrupted by a breaking news story, and you want to know something else? That next breaking news story could be very important, so may I suggest that you keep those half-brained comments about Keeping Up With The Kardashians being interrupted by a breaking news story to yourself. 

    I have a grave confession to make; I really, really, really not to fond of a certain TV show, and I am not talking about those wacky reality shows, and I am certainly not ever going to talk about them now! The TV show that all that interested in is called Doctor Who, and to tell you the honest truth, I do not like that show at all: It is just a wonky program about some weirdo British gentleman who rides around in a blue elevator saving…Something. Look, up in the sky: IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! IT’S…SUPER BRIT! Yes, Super Brit, weirdo defender of the universe, flying out of the sky to protect those who have been smoking those vapes, or something…
    In case any of you have missed as well as those who have not heard of the story the first time, let me tell you a little story: It was the Saturday before Easter Sunday of 2017, and I was enjoying the most tastiest Easter candy; And then, it happened: At first, I thought that my first cousin had planned to watch Lawrence Welk, but nope: Instead, he blurted out his love for that stinkin’ sci-fi show that ain’t as American as apple pie, stating that he cannot wait to see the brand-new season (or series, as them Brits call it) of that show. Unfortunately, my first cousin’s little word action had almost caused me to nearly lose my appetite for that Easter candy that I had been enjoying; It would take me a (very) short while before I am finally back to savoring the Easter candy once more…
    As most of you may or may not have known, I had a blog that had been hosted by WordPress called “KALEIDOSCOPE”; I had closed down my blog back in June of 2019. Now, two years before, while my blog was still in operation, I would use each post that I write and publish, containing parodies of that whacko British show, to secretly try and get my cousins to watch something sensible than that stupid show, something sensible like…Lawrence Welk. Alas, I have tried to do these things to no avail. As of this very writing, my cousins are still hooked on that British martian that they call Time Lords…Hey, if I wanted to see a stinkin’ Time Lord, I would have to check out those Timex commercials with John Cameron Swayze! Now THAT’s a TIME Lord! Yuk, yuk, yuk!
