Co., Everett, WA Lines: 78 Geez, Paul, I'll see what I can get out (have to stoke up the blast furnace...) So, once more the moronic fatheads in charge of nominating TV shows for the Emmy awards have screwed up. They decide to fuel their won interests, awarding useless, tasteless Communistic Nihlistic idiot-fodder programs, while shamelessly ignoring the one show with the taste, good nature, educational resources, and pure charisma to put America Back On the Right Track. They give their sham awards, the little angels holding globes (how ironic, that these Comrade's symbol of guile is almost Christian in Nature (Ah say, Amen!!)) to big-breasted women and good for nothing perverts and drunks (you, yes, YOU, Selleck... you smarmy little pansy! Listen up, you're days are numbered! I've got documents showing just how you got that high-pitched voice!). And this national disgrace goes on, year after year, while one decent, kind, intelligent man stands aside, waiting for an award deserved but never delivered, with a patience that many holy men would envy. I'm talking, of course, about Marlin Perkins. I'm talking about WILD KINGDOM. Yes, while Americans (and, in fact, third world countries, too) could be watching facinating stories about how the Serengeti is a storehouse of Zebra life, how penquins really don't mind the cold, how bees polinate in the winter (but only after the kids have gone to bed), they decide to watch insidous stories of how tarts overthrow financial empires that are built upon blood money anyway and how you can hook up a Heathkit to a car and it becomes smarter than you and how all Southerners ride Ford Cars and practice incest. And why? Why is this bastion of intelligence ignored compared to this steaming heap of excrement. Sour grapes, that's why. Yes, I can see your eyes lighting up... you realize it now, you see the conspiracy. But for the less bright ones out there, I'll spell it out. Over the entire length of WILD KINGDOM, there has never been a single episode on.... WOMBATS. Yes, they're back again, ready for another year of net.flame debate. The $64,000 Question is: Are you man or woman enough to stand up to 'em? I thought not.... "Lithium is no longer available on credit" Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
