Happy Weekend!
Today is National Cheese Sacrifice Day! Apparently this means that it used to be the day that you would buy some cheese and put some of it in a mousetrap in order to fend off vermin. We don’t really do that anymore (and it turns out that mice don’t even like cheese, which I find weirdly disappointing for some reason) — but you can always celebrate by sacrificing cheese another way. Like by putting it in your mouth!
Your present this week is a 1969 television show called “Turn-On” that infamously only aired for one episode — half an episode in some markets. The premise was that it was a sketch show produced by a computer. Shockingly, despite starring guest host Tim Conway, it was very, very bad. Because no one wants to watch TV shows produced by a computer.
It was also, reportedly, a little dirty and not in a funny way.
I also have some sad news for you — I am running out of pet pics for this post (which is not the Top Ten anymore, we will figure that out as we go! For now I will just bring you your usual presents!), so please send me some more at robyn at wonkette dot com! Be sure to put “pet pics” in the subject line or I won’t find it! (and if you CAN, 3×2 dimensions, please!)
