JOTW 13-2014
March 32, 2014
This is JOTW newsletter number 1,008 3/4
“It may be seem like its really hard for an egg to turn into a bird that can fly, it’s kind of a miracle, right? But it would be a harder for a hardboiled egg to turn into a bird that can fly really hard. Either way, the bird can’t fly while it’s still an egg, right? If you poached and egg right out of the nest and pitched it up in the air, it would sort of be flying, in a way, right, but not really, because it hasn’t hatched and spread its wings and all. So eventually an egg has to change, and usually that means hatching and learning to fly, or stay an egg and be eaten. Although, you can shoot a bird that’s flying and eat it, as well.
— C. S. Lewis

We need a top-notch professional to help generate buzz for Kathie Lee’s beloved annual holiday tradition. Watch Kathie Lee handing out bottles of Slim Fast to starving North Korean children at a concentration camp while singing “If my friends could see me now!” Several of those children were selected at random and offered jobs in Kathie Lee’s garment factory. Special guests include Dennis Rodman, and a duet with Andy Williams and Bing Crosby holographically singing “All I want for Christmas is a f*&king cup of cabbage soup.” Watch the “Cody and Kim” in an arm wrestling death match, as Kathie Lee tearfully implores the Dear Leader not throw her kids to the dogs. See Frank have his pick of Kim’s concubines. And there’s that wonderful skit with Regis Philbin as the magical Christmas elf shouting, ““I’m trying to salvage what’s left of your career!”

23.) Publicist, Battlestar Lardotica, Glendale, Calif.
The blockbuster Sci-Fi series is back in a big way. Battlestar Lardotica defies gravity with a huge cast who get chased by a cybernetic race of food administering robots who try to subjugate humans to fast food outlets throughout the galaxy. As the overindulging humans expand in girth they must modify their starship with wide doors and sturdier chairs. Hilarity ensues when Lorne Greene, as Commander Odometer watches Dan Blocker make a guest appearance on the show and fall on hiss duff when he tries out the Captain’s chair on the bridge. One unusual feature of the show is that each broadcast is essentially the same as the previous one, true to the series motto of “That which does not repeat itself will be destined to repeat itself.”
