So, today at 2:30 there was nothing else on TV so I just turned to PBS and reading rainbow was on. Half the stuff is pretty gay but at the end when the kids tell about "books they recently read", that kid comes on and says "Snakes are generally pretty nice creatures, as long as you don't molest them.". What were the writers thinking when they wrote this? Perhaps they were a bit to high? Or perhaps they hired a writer with a bit of "previous experience" writing for certain movies.
Anyone else have any weird or funny TV quotes?
I believe the most interesting phrase I've ever heard on television was when this crocodile hunter chap was pulling on the tail of a black mamba snake in (south?) Africa.
It was long black and writhing and he's explaining that the poison can blind a man if it gets in the eyes and can kill you in minutes if it gets into your vains.
So, obviously he starts pulling at the poor creature's tail. The beastie swings around (a snake like term...I should be on TV myself) spitting at him, hissing and trying to bite him.
Steve (I believe that's the crocodile hunter's name) jumps back, but keeps hold of the rear end of a snake (I'm not sure if that's actually called a tale or not...so perhaps I shouldn't be on TV after all) and says:
"Don't do this at home!"
Originally posted by shavixmirGood point. If a snake does have a tail, where does it begin? Or is a snake one long tail with a head? Or a head with an extremely long neck and no body?
...the rear end of a snake (I'm not sure if that's actually called a tale or not...
Hmmmm.
Richie Ashburn, a great old baseball player, lived out his last days as an announcer for the Philadelphia Phillies. They were talking about one of the players who was supersticious because he took his bat to bed with him on the night before a game. Richie proceeded to say:
"I've slept with a lot of old bats in my day"
-needless to say, it led to some laughter from the other announcers
