Hello I'm Craig brush we'll be getting back to crabs in just a minute but right now it's time to ask for your support of Maryland Public Television helping us with our telephones this evening are our studio volunteers from demolition R Us wrecking company. They support Maryland Public Television. Do you.
Tonight our volunteers have suggested a little added inducement to encourage you to make that all important pledge this detonator is connected to explosives that have been planted in the home of an affluent Maryland family that has never supported Maryland Public Television. If that description fits you may I suggest that you go to your phone now when called Five five five fifty six hundred with your pledge. If we do not reach our goal of $10000 by the end of the program. Well I will pull down this plunger in someone's house. It could be yours. It will be blown away. If you are not a member of Maryland Public Television I have this suggestion. Either call us with your pledge or begin immediate evacuation. It was a cool autumn night and I was working syntax out of the grammar division. The names
talk oh Johnny talk oh. I was working at a talk. But if it be ever. Just a part of speech trying to make its way in this crummy world. Rubbed out. Before its time. Clues were scarcer than the pluperfect tense in a ransom note. But my mind kept slipping back to a dame I just been up for a loop by Dizzy redhead named Jingles I was still reeling from the smell of a perfume. But I had a job to do. I put thoughts of jingles rosy lips out of my mind and started my daily routine of conjugating irregular verbs. Somewhere among the go. Went. And gone. I saw something that turned my stomach. What goes with it. Diagram that send.
Chills. Illiterate street creeps like you are a dime a dozen. I had another collar but I didn't have the adverb killer. It was knocking at my gut like a dangling participle. Things like that bother me again. God knows. Why I haven't got anyone. The leads I had. Were as blind as a guitar player but I had. Lunch and I decided to play. You can't go in there Mr. Tucker. Sure I'm. Sure. But. Not so quick titled. That's leave now. Now we are. Told you know
where you are. That's do you know where you are. Joy. Had. To be bad. Calculators have been slowly sucking the life out of a verse for years. I had my hand. On my thoughts turned to Jamison alliteration. I couldn't wait to gaze at Jingles gorgeous gams again. As I. Tossed in the menu because I thought of her. Pursed lips. It was enough to keep me going until quitting time. But.
What. Was. That. Like. Just. By. Saying. Yes. Yes.
Yes. This is of course a scene from the controversy on new Liebowitz Nelson wedding and it's just one of the video weddings that will be revealing this week on sneak prenup jewels down the aisle from me. The bridal page associate of The Washington Post Mr. Jean Cissy and across the aisle from me the head caterer of Baltimore Hebrew Congregation
Mr. Roger eater. In addition to the label Winston Nelson fiasco the order of scene is excellent. We'll also be reviewing and exhausting Greek release from the trek and his family. And exciting for an wedding that uses animals in an unusual way. Like Roger has our first wedding up tonight Roger Not Jeanne this is an interesting story. I naive little beta release that might have escaped us entirely if it hadn't been for a persistent grandmother who sent it to us. It's a civil ceremony held recently at Glen Burnie city hall and in this scene the bride tells the groom she isn't pregnant. Is that drama or what. Jean this is the kind of rock'em sock'em action i love at weddings I've given correspondents four stars. Oh the characters are weak and psychotic. The groom is totally out of
character for a man dressed in a suit from go go or Oh I think it was overacting. I can't give this one story but Jeanne this is a simple sweet tale of Americana. I thought the group was totally spontaneous and I thought his reaction was believable. Our next wedding years is german shepherd some of the women I'm not so the guy from Glen Burnie. Oh Roger. I told you to forget about that Tris Let's move on. Oh that's so typical of you just dismissing me with the snooty comment because you work for The Washington Post and I'm just a caterer. Well let me tell you something Mr. highbrow. I've been to an awful lot of weddings. I'm one of the biggest caterers in the city and you have the lawsuits to prove it. My next wedding. Now that's real funny. At least I don't serve pop tarts and you won't call it a reception like one critic I could name who did it is very own wedding because he was too cheap to hire a pro. Oh great Do you see what your extra large belly aching has done the show zone from Canada to snob. Oh and we didn't even get to
moderate all the more sounds from your family. You're on vacation. Hundreds of miles from your parish. You're not in a state of sanctifying grace and you enter the near occasion to soon. What will you do what we did you do you carry that. That it can express card and all your prayers with yes. The Vatican Express card excepted in confessionals all over Christendom. The Sunday obligations will be met your conscience cleared and you can earn bonus days of
indulgences off your time in her to try when I would this life to ruin ya. After that I. Can from from the fabric of interest I don't need your approval. In the finest tradition of the film a masterpiece. My Dinner With Andre MGM and the American Jewish Film Federation presenting my London with Marie. What did you order. I think flank and is it fresh or frozen. I didn't ask so you got today's specials a lot. The Jewish Times calls it brilliant 85 strong work of art. So tell me how's your daughter. My daughter did.
Don't get me started on my daughter on show like me I'm sorry I was only asking. Well. I was saying from start to finish this is a motion picture of all people says Sammy Davis Jr.. Way to make the soap a little hot a place and it's not a little hot. You see only one film this year. You must see my line with Mari. No one will be seated during the last 10 minutes during the famous wrestling. Of getting. Together. Now it's my time. To think of it. I was being polite. I paid last time I paid my lunch with my right. Opening and say it is everywhere this Wednesday but for
your Tuesday. Next year. Martin Luther King's birthday becomes a national holiday. This is a very special honor and will probably be commemorated in much the same way as the birthdays of other great Americans old. Yes Dr. King had a dream and what a dream he slept on sheets from the sheets on Oh then you can. Say. That. I. Come to the sheets I was. Martin Luther King's birthday. I Days it. Kills us. It was. Clear. That of course. The chance. That. The wife was. That's not what is on. Sale in. The metro area she told me you. Knew.
Was was was. Was. Was. Was. Was. Was was was it spring. Thing. Was was. Done. Stands it reads on the word was the last. Word was because.
I was. On. My. Feet. One of the words. What's. The. Point. Oh it. Was me that is bright. It all seems right and was worrying us well just. Didn't. Do. It Sue. Were. Divorced too. We are still looking for three thousand eight hundred dollars before the end of this break to make our
goal and we still have not heard from the family whose house is connected to this detonator. It could be your house. We have homely 20 seconds. Please call five five five fifty six hundred with your pledge think about Big Bird and pick up the telephone. Think about Alastair Cook National Geographic and our own Wall Street Week. Consistent excellence in television deserves sources. Especially when your house is at stake. Our time is up. Unfortunately it looks as if we'll have to make an example so that everyone knows that we're just not kidding around. Are there any phones ringing. Well then you. Why. Not. Your pledge. Little. Right. The number five on five I'm fifty six
hundred on. The right. We now present sound off in which ordinary citizens voice opinions on subjects of their choice. Yeah I got a beef. I want to know how come we got all the cells and our parking spaces 40 in the cab. You never let me just resign because some bureaucrat far as a good idea. Now we got all these Morgans bases for the handicap but there gave me wrong. I got nothing against a handicap. But all these spaces. Think about it. When was the last time you saw a handicapped person actually years in more name space. Hence maybe it's bad enough the space is there use more burns me. Is there a best space is online. You know how it is you pull into a lot you look way over to the doors. You don't see any cars so you drive over
thinking you're locked out and you get there and there's these spaces for to handicap. So what do you do. Do you drive to the back of the lot and hike through the mall or you do like me. You pull into a handicap space and limp. When you get out of the full credit you don't need to force or feel like a heel but you get over it. OK. What I want to know is where are all these teeny cat people don't day shop. Let's face it. I don't we got too many spaces or not enough. I don't tell you something else. A lot of people get those license plates roulette wheel chairs on their own little teeny cab to me they probably know somebody down at the MVA you know me at least. Terrible. They ought to have spot checks like they do with drunk drivers.
Make those people get out and skip rope or sell their new car down a third. We're all here in the cab. Some want to be gone. Really. High concept here but yes I'm going to demographics now.
