We will miss you, Tony Nelson. That’s my favorite memory of Larry Hagman (1931 - 2012), as the harried yet lovable astronaut from his I Dream of Jeannie days. I was all about astronauts during that time (who wasn’t?), and absolutely loved the show. Now, I know there are plenty of Dallas fans out there, but for me, he was Major Anthony Nelson. Farewell, Mr. Hagman.
Words in the Media That Annoy Me
Pre-owned. As in a pre-owned car.
What's that even mean? When did used car come to be a bad thing? If
something was pre-owned, that means before anyone owned it. Before
anyone owned the thing, it was pieces/parts. Not a car. Pre-owned
needs to go.
Melty. As in melty cheese. On a
cheeseburger. Now we've taken a perfectly useful word (melt),
slapped a 'y' on the end, and we have an adjective that attempts to
describe a cheeseburger's qualities. As though melty was a flavor.
Or a special thing. No. If someone hasn't melted the cheese on the
cheeseburger, it needs to be sent back from whence it came.
Okay, that's all the brain fragments I
have for now.
'til next time... Adios.
