The Facts Of Life......

[Brian37]

So today's rerun Etna's "Ms Garrett's"  gourmet food shop catering service isn't doing so well. They find out a guy named Pete down the road is underselling them. Blair tries to be helpful by trying to talk to Pete, he brings on the charm with Blair and complements her telling her he used to have a pony named Blair and said it was a beautiful pony. (AN aside, I knew he was conning her.) She lets it slip out that Etna is catering a wedding, Pete ends up stealing it from her.

ANYWHO Etna ends up getting a call that she lost the wedding. Of course she is angry, storms into the back of her store. Jo's Spidey sense tingles and she looks at Blair, knows she got stupid, "You told him." Blair says, "I couldn't help it, he told me I reminded him of his pony."

Jo, "Which end?".

In this morning's rerun Blair is in college dating a medical student.

Jo comments, "Yea, she makes them sick, he cures them."

OH MY THOR!

Ok so of course today's rerun is a Christmas theme. BUT UM........ The following was a "WHAT THE FUCK WERE THE WRITERS THINKING"

So this is one of the last years of that sitcom where Cloris Leachman replaced Ms Garret's character. 

So anywho, in this episode she has a dream that she never moved to Peakskill. In the dream she meets Santa, and says "So what? You want me to sit on your lap?"

I KID YOU NOT......

Santa, "No, the Misses gets upset if they are over 12."............... EWWEEEEEEEEEEE! Seriously what were the writers thinking?

In other news, Roy Moore said, "Shut the fuck up that was me playing Santa."

Oh for those who tease me about both ABBA and this show.

GUESS WHAT, today's rerun had the girls weekend night cruising listening to the car radio. BUT get this, Tootie wanted to win the tickets to a "ABBA reunion concert". Funny that in reality the band said after they broke up  they would never preform again together.

Don't ask me to give you the meaning of the totality of any Shakespeare play, BUT, in today's rerun Ms Garrett decides to take a English class at the local college with Blair and Joe, and the famous Macbeth act 5 scene 5 line came up, life being, "a flurry of activity signifying nothing". That was one line I understood and found to be profound for it's time even though Shakespeare had way to know how right he was. I wrote the following ODE twist based on that line. 



QUOTE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MACBETH:"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, 
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, 
To the last syllable of recorded time; 
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools 
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! 
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, 
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, 
And then is heard no more. It is a tale 
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, 
Signifying nothing. 

Here is my spin on that wonderful and profound line: 



Out, Out brief candle, By Brian37 ( Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

To-deities, and to-gods, and to-God 

Creeps in this petty tyrant from day to day 

Until the extinction of humanity new ones will be invented 

And all of yesterday's Gods have been created by fools 

The way to tribal death. Out out brief myth 

Claims are but a walking shadow, a poor reflection 

That struts our narcissism upon the stage 

And then is heard no more. It is a tale 

Told by the credulous, full of sound and fury 

Signifying nothing.

I originally wrote "yestergods" but since decided to change it to "yesterday's Gods". But it sounded good at the time I wrote it.

And you're surprised people think you're a girl? 

Someone still pissed that we are not swallowing their sky wizard claim?

FYI you reading comprehension sucks because I never said I was angry about it, I just find it funny. 

My mom got confused for being a man. Now want to say something about her?

Yes I like The Facts Of Life, and I like ABBA and I love my mom too.

If you are looking for fucks for me to give, sorry, I've run out.

Ok, no takers on the question of what show did "Facts Of Life" spin off off?

Answer, "Different Strokes"

Ms Garrett started out as a maid for Mr Drummond in that show.
