So, did anyone catch Cooper Anderson's hysterical reporting about the motel sign that blew over in the wind in the hurricane the other day?
OMG!!!!IT'S GOING TO FALL! THE SIGN IS COMING DOWN! THIS IS UNREAL PEOPLE! YOU HAVE TO BE HERE TO BELIEVE IT! OMG!
All the while, the on-site producer is saying to him and the camera guy, "Get back! Get back!" as they were tempting fate by peeping around the corner of the motel into the open path of dangerous winds......
30 minutes later, another CNN commentator did an impassioned diatribe on the "science" of THIS particular hurricane, "Yes, one scientist I heard just hours ago said that the wind speed inside of this hurricane is growing at a geometric rate! He refered to it as an 'insane' hurricane! People, this hurricane is 'insane'!!!"
My dear sweet, pragmatic mother turned to me at that moment and said wryly, "Did he just call this hurricane, "insane"?
I couldn't answer till I got my wind back from laughing so hard.
At least, and thank God for this, CNN did not say that Hurricane Dennis was a -------Menace..............
And, let me say, I really enjoy Cooper Anderson's desk reporting and special topics and things he normally does. But, I have never seen him get quite so worked up into SUCH a frenzy. I guess field assignments may tempt one to Emmy-pandering, or maybe we're near "Sweeps" ratings week and senior news chiefs are bearing down hard, but, gosh, this wasn't "War of the Worlds"!
I mean, for cryin' out loud for Tom Cruise leapin' on a loungechair!
Headline News Histrionics.

THIS IS UNREAL PEOPLE! YOU HAVE TO BE HERE TO BELIEVE IT! OMG! All the while, the on site producer is saying to him and the camera guy, "Get back! Get back!" as they were tempting fate by peeing around into the zone of dangerous winds...... 30 minutes later, another CNN commentator did a diatribe on the science of THIS particular hurricane, "Yes, one scientist said that the wind speed inside this hurricane growing at a geomatric rate! He reffered to it as an 'insane' hurricane! People, this hurricane is 'insane'!!!" My dear sweet, pragmatic mother turned to me at that moment and said, "Did he just call the hurricane, "insane"? I couldn't answer till I got my air back from laughing so hard. At least, and thank God for this, he did not say that Hurricane Dennis was a -------Menace.............. [/u]
And the sign said long-winded commentator's
Need not apply
So I tucked my mike up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine misleading young man
I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that
Huh, me working for you
Woah!
Chorus:
Sign Sign lookit that sign
Tossed across the greenery, 'broken down sign
Look here! look at that! Can't you see the sign?
And the sign read anybody caught reporting
Well, it serves them right
Still, I tripped on the fence and fell in the mud,
Hey!
Who turned out the lights?
Now there's no defence
I started to shout
The storm "Dennis' " blowin' in
If God was here, the hurricane'd abate.
"Den' you're some kinda spinner!"
Chorus:
Sign Sign lookit that sign
Tossed across the greenery, 'broken down sign
Look here! look at that! Can't you see the sign?
Now, hey you Dennis can't you read
You can't be tossing signs around the green
You have ta' get lost, no you can't breeze
You ain't suppose to be heeeeeere.....
Sign said you got to have a membership card to ruin signs! HWOH!
And the sign said commentators welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray
But when they passed around the signs
At the end of it all
I didn't have a dollar to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign
I said thank you Lord for thinking about me
I'm alive and on air at 5...
Chorus:
Sign Sign lookit that sign
Tossed across the greenery, 'broken down sign
Look here! look at that! Can't you see the sign?
Sign Sign lookit that sign
Tossed across the greenery, 'broken down sign
Look here! look at that! Can't you see the sign?
Just a little something I threw together for you, Doctor Robert. Great post, btw. ;D |

too funny.
During one hurricane, a co-worker of mine chained (yes, you read that correctly) himself to a telephone pole in the midst of the fray so he could stay there and broadcast live. (This was a choice, not a matter of survival.)
as for me...in the timeless words of Daffy... "not thisss little black duck!" ;D

But it is kind of cool that he did it. I think! ;D I must re-read that.......how does the tune on the bridge go?....I got the main part.........oh, yea! Glad you liked it.  Btw, it's possible that Cooper Anderson has "Obsessive- Compulsive Personification-Application Disorder." Or maybe it's just a ratings thang. ;D |
