From the far horizons...
XM has gotten me hooked on "golden age" radio. I'm listening to a particularly funny "X Miinus One" episode right now called "a thousand dollars a plate". It's about a running dispute between the scientists of an astrological observatory on Mars and the Vegas-like entertainment complex down the road. At one point one of the scientists proposes that the observatory go into the horoscope business, and the director says "Dr. Morton, send for the staff psychiatrist; Benzinger has scratched his reflector." (he says it in a pricelessly deadpan voice)
I ask you: can you GET zingers like that on TV? I think not! ¶ 5:50 PM
