Thanks to TiVo, we don't have to miss our second favorite program on t.v. (first being, of course, Top Gear). A few channels that we never watched have gone away; some new channels have been added.Other than the Shameless annoyance, I didn't think this Comcast change really amounted to much. And then....oh, and then! And then Dr. Nate and I were home on Saturday night being a boring married couple. We watched a movie (Brazil - it was okay) and finished it around 9:30 or so. We decided to flip around the channels and came across what may be the single best program in the History Of All Media: Personal Defense Television!
I swear I am not making this up. Comcast added a watch-people-kill-stuff channel to our lineup, and I assumed was just Babe Winkleman and Ted Nugent doing whatever it is they do in forests and/or lakes.But let me tell you, folks, I assumed INCORRECTLY. The channel also airs Personal Defense Television - a must-see for anyone, like me, who plans to start a militia (okay, well, maybe it's just for me then). Feel free to check out the Personal Defense Television website and watch an episode or two. Here are synopses of recently-aired episodes to pique your interest:
"Vehicle Defense - Criminals attack people in their vehicles. Do you know how to manage your seatbelt, draw safely and effectively and shoot through glass?"And my personal favorite:
"Using What You Have -- Self defense with a single-shot shotgun? How about a bolt-action rifle? Learn to use anything available..."
"You never know what can happen in a real personal-defense situation. If your shooting hand is disabled, can you shoot, load, unload and resolve malfunctions using only your "weak" hand?"Note the similarities of everyone on the episode we watched:
- One X and one Y chromosome
- At least 50 years of age
- Caucasian
(Your host of Personal Defense Television - Tom Gresham)I didn't realize one could buy a hands-free flashlight for nighttime shooting. Much easier and more effective than the "old" method, which, as Dr. Nate and I learned on Personal Defense Television, involved attaching a large O-ring to a small flashlight and hooking it around your finger. You see, the O-ring will keep the light handy as you go to reload your Colt 1911. You just flip the flashlight over the back side of your hand, then grab a new clip, and then...oh well - nevermind. I don't want to give away the ending.

Amy forgot to mention that the repressed homoeroticism bubbling just below the surface of this manly show is perfectly evident. For example, we watched some "instruction" on the proper way to smoothly unsheath your "weapon" for proper "presentation" during a confrontation. This included a lot of close-proximity instructor assistance which often seemed to nearly topple over into a furious make-out/fellatio session. Instead, the final outcome was always a rapid volley of bullets (usually head shots).
Seems to me that perhaps Obama should air more of his commercials during this type of a show as this seems to be the demographic he is really hurting with.
I never thought of having to worry about drawing my weapon while buckled in with a seatbelt, now I will think twice before I buckle up.
Cap'n,
If you watch Personal Defense Television, you can both buckle up AND still (apparently) draw your weapon! Everybody wins! ;-)
Although, come to think of it - this Personal Defense Television stuff might come in handy in a zombie apocalypse....
