Default Mythbusters sighting


"Jim Stewart" wrote in message
. ..
So after work, I drove out to the airport to
do a little work on my airplane. I keep it
at a rural airport that is small and quiet.

As I'm driving up to my hanger, I see a guy
walking up the road towards me. He wearing
a leather jacket, a beret, and has a red beard.

I've seen this guy somewhere. I stop the car
and wait for him to walk by me. I'm sure it's
the guy. I ask him, "aren't you the Mythbusters
guy?", He replies, "yes, I am". He's Jamie
Hyneman, cohost of Mythbusters. I get out and
shake his hand and tell him I like his show.
He seems tired and uninterested, so I don't
pursue him. He says they are finishing up a
shoot. I presume that it must have something to
do with parachutes or skydiving since the airport
has a world-class skydiving school.

Airport is 2Q3, Yolo County, California

Pretty strange huh?


Pretty strange dicks, imo.
There is a lot of production pressure in these shows, and I think many
involved need a big stiff drink at the end of each day to wind down. Tired
and disinterested indeed.
I've seen motivational speakers at the end of the day, and you'd think they
were homeless or sumpn, the way the wander around aimlessly.
Proly serves them right.

I think the concept of that show is great, and except for those two assholes
I think a lot of the cast is interesting, some of the "experiments"
intriguing and educational.
But the writers/producers have, once again, found a way to make the audience
grovel for crumbs of what might otherwise be decent educational
entertainment, and essentially ruin a good concept.

Just not worth it.
And stretching out each denouement to the end of the show is just effing
insulting.
I SED (E=enough) each day, I don't need to plaster my lips to the TV screen
as well.
Goodgawd....
