UnPrintable Pitfalls of Pungent Pits?

In the wee hours of this Saturday morn, the odd hours I’ve been keeping (a pandemic-related and exacerbated, chronic phenomenon) found me slowly prying open my sandman gritted over eyelids; the direct consequence of catching a few Zs during a Buzzr TV network scheduled, Password mini-marathon.

Lo and behold… that was just in time for me to be eye-witnessing that show’s impresario and iconic host, Allen Ludden, tossing it all to commercial; i.e.., turning over his respectable game show podium to the impudent, psychotic conman and parasite, Mike Lindell; that latter man still serially smooching sore loser, Donald J. Trump’s fetid, fascist fanny. Yep, he’d much rather be promoting emperor Trump’s Big Lie (re the 2020 elections) than be presiding over his own, oft forsaken pillow empire.

All wordplay aside… ever since sore loser Trump really, Really, REALLY did get trounced by Joe Biden, ignoraNus (<— NOT A TYPO) Mikey, has been compulsively siphoning off multiple millions of his corporate profits; i.e. just to bankroll what WAS, IS, and SHALL FOREVER BE his futile crusade to non-Constitutionally, Oval Office re-install dictator, dickhead Donny.

`

Obviously, MAGA “magnate” Mikey hates everything that’s decency and democracy related.

‘

Yet, even in spite of Lindell’s zealotry, he has recognized that, from time to time, in order to fluff his pillow profits, he must eschew fluffing Donny. Ergo, of late, he’s been frantically, TV huckstering his sleepy time products; in this instance, all courtesy of the Sixties era, ad campaign; namely, à la the very Right Guard deodorant commercial vid, that tops off this post.

I do find it fitting that Lindell has opted to go this route. Hmm, might he be sensing that his nearly three-year-old, odious, odoriferous political posturing is in need of a massive, metaphorical double spritz? You know, to metaphorically fumigate his stinky partisan and corporate armpits.

However, what Mikey has utterly failed to grasp, here,.. is that even were we to combine Right Guard with each and every other deodorant brand sold throughout the entire multiverse, that could NEVER, EVER even begin to fully mask what, sure as $#!+, always wafts off of ALL fascist fecal matter.

Truth be told… at present, what Trump, Lindell and every other MAGA malcontent, maniac and moron all sit atop is the Mount Everest magnitude dung heap of their shared, anti-decency, anti-democracy agenda.

More to the point, no truly respectable, perceptive citizens (inclusive of moi) could ever cozy up to a TV sponsor (such as Mike Lindell) whose side hustle, on behalf of his cult leader, one Donald J. Trump, is to co-sponsor, the political downfall of the United States of America.

Needless to say… I would no more buy into Lindell’s pillow sales pitch than into his all-things-Trump grift. Hell, I’d net more comfort from resting my noggin atop a log or tree stump.

“Forever in our hearts, always our inspiration.”

Last evening, Alex Trebek’s five, yet to be shown, final Jeopardy! episodes, taped mere days prior to his demise, began playing out. This transcendental episode (originally slated to air on December 21, 2020) began with his opening, impromptu, soul searching, holiday message:

“You’ll recall that about a month ago, I asked all of you to take a moment to give thanks for all of the blessings that you enjoy in your lives. Now, today, a different kind of message. This is the season of giving. I know you want to be generous with your family, your friends, your loved ones. But today, I’d like you to go one step further. I’d like you to open up your hands and open up your hearts to those who are still suffering because of COVID-19. People who are suffering through no fault of their own. We’re trying to build a gentler, kinder society and if we all pitch in, just a little bit, we’re gonna get there.” [Watch Clip/Read More]

Alex Trebek • Air Date: January 4, 2021

If humanity is paying attention, such much needed wisdom will resonate and endure long after Alex’s final Final Jeopardy!, come Friday.

By next Monday, a series of select host candidates will begin auditioning to determine who, amongst the 7.8 billion of us, might come close to filling Trebek’s size infinity shoes.

Let’s hope that his successor will know, instinctively, that Alex is irreplaceable; may sense a momentary “blinding” by the aura / afterimage of his brilliance; perhaps even feel somewhat haunted by him while making each entrance onto the Jeopardy! stage.

Should the eventual new host be lacking such qualities, it’d be fair to suspect that (s)he has been miscast. And, so long as I’m hinting at this, anyway, let me add that the time is ripe for a game show, of this stature, to break the glass ceiling; namely, the Sony Pictures Television production company execs should select a savvy, suave woman to preside over the game.

Returning, now, to the rolling of last night’s closing credits…

For a fleeting moment, I had this wild notion; how great it’d be to rebroadcast the entire 36+ year run of Trebek’s Jeopardy!; perhaps, as an alternative to Pat Sajak’s / Vanna White’s Wheel of Fortune, which on most network schedules, precedes Jeopardy!

I’ve always found playing along with W of F’s contestants far less challenging and educational. Hey, don’t brand me an intellectual snob; my educational background, would rarely, if ever, crown me the Jeopardy! champion. Anyway, that’s not my point.

What is relevant, here, is that each episode of Jeopardy! serves as a teaching moment; can function as motivation for us to discover more about the world we don’t know. After all, we don’t stop learning until the day each of us takes our final breath. And for all we know, it may not end even then!

Of course, my aforementioned wish for that Trebek replay must remain just that. After all, the new host must be afforded the unencumbered opportunity to build upon Alex’s rock solid foundation. Most assuredly, he would’ve wanted it that way!

And that said, the show’s closing credits will sum up everything even better than I; namely, via their dedication to Alex Trebek:

“Forever in our hearts, always our inspiration.”

1 More Match Game Dumb Donald Clip ~ Vid of the Day

Throughout most of the 1970’s, Match Game staff writers prepared dozens of mythical Dumb Donald, fill in the blank scenarios for the show’s host, Gene Rayburn, to present to his contestants.

Obviously, this all occurred long before the real Donald’s rise to power and, yet, seeing how he has… now that we watch this game show’s yesterdays playing out today… well… there’s an added humorous dimension that’s inescapable. It tends to make one wonder if this really is mere coincidence? Of course, that does beg the follow up Q…

Might there have been a Time Machine involved… oh… say a DeLorean parked in (or in the vicinity of) the Match Game soundstage lot?

Anyway… our above Vid of the Day clip features the “fake” Dumb Donald finding new, stable employment… a prospect that his real life namesake might soon be facing down, as well.

 

 

 

 

 

A Past / Present Match-Up ~ Vid of the Day

Long ago… there was Match Game 1973, 74, 75, etc., where show host Gene Rayburn’s staff writers / comedians introduced us to the mythical / fake, generic Dumb Donald.

In the here and now… well… as it turns out, they almost seem to have been a bit prescient. With regards to our Vid of the Day’s specific question, sans nary an inkling of the actual Trumpster, they did manage to capture his flaws… namely his impulsive nature, low ethics IQ and insanely staunch stance re the NRA / 2nd Amendment… as well as address these current events…

[1] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s ongoing impeachment inquiry.
[2] Trump’s 10/04/2019 phone chat with House Republicans where he
whined about impeachment being a “bad thing to have on your resume.”
[3] How Donny just might wind up pounding the pavement ISO a new job.
