    Just once, I'd like to see

    A cooking show where the cook makes something, takes a taste (or someone else takes a taste), and says "This stuff is terrible!". What would you like to see?

    Norm makes a cut( or what ever) and then curses when he realizes that he just cut his last piece of exotic lumber 1/2 inch too short.

      David Marks wearing a short sleeve shirt on his TV Show.


      I know why he doesn't and that he is not making the show anymore but it would have been fun.

        The left lane (well actually the entire interstate) clear for my 30 mile trip home from work.

        The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

            1) A 2 hour NASCAR race on TV that you don't hear the phrase: "I'll tell you what.".

            2) Calling a help desk line and instead of getting "Due to the popularity of our product you may experience long wait times" ,it just told the truth like "Wow! We really screwed this up and everyone is calling in with problems, it's gonna be a while"...

            3) A story on the nightly news that is coming up "next" and it really does ..

            4) a 5-in1 tool that actually is all five in one..

            5) A car thats good on gas, fun to drive and doesnt have pole-bearer handles on the sides..

            6) A Johnny Dep movie were he doesn't have eye liner on.

            7) Larry King stand up at his desk so I can be sure that he is wearing pants, not just suspenders and a speedo.. (eeeehhww) []

            8) Have a cashier tell me that something is going on sale tomorrow rather than "..it was on sale last week".

            9) A car wash soap that doesn't make it rain later that night.

            10) Jerry Springer and Oprah host a 1 hour, no holds barred, talk show together.

              About 35 years ago, I went to a local Sears store to buy my first Craftsman router. The salesman told me to come back the next day when the router I had chosen would be on sale. He gave me his card, and I did. That was a very good router and it gave me years of trouble free service. That was when Craftsman made really good tools.

                  Let's see, on my list, an evening, when ALL America turns off the tube, goes out and meets the neighbors and spends time with the family.

                  A customer service representative, in ones own country, so you could understand them. Then when you ask what should be common knowledge for someone who deals with this product, they don't need the model numbers to read from a script. DAMHIK

                  I think this thread could probably equal the song thread in length.

                    I work in a 7-11 and lately I have had a hard time dealing with the college students being rude and making HUGE messes and then expecting me to clean up after them like I am their mother or something and then just stand there laughing.

                    So I guess what I would like to see is for people to treat us working stiffs that work in convience stores and other jobs like it, be it customer service, store clerk, auto shops etc. etc., with some respect and maybe just once in a while say please and thank you.

                      Iceland used to outlaw tv three nights a week during the winter (maybe still does) so people would play chess, read, perpetuate Icelandic culture.

                      I'd like to see some anchors on cable tv news shows say, "I jumped the gun, over-reacted, and blew [whatever] out of all proportions. I really acted like a boob."

                      Speaking of which, one of the Fox shows yesterday apparently ran a feed of a local story about that golf cart going off a cliff and the anchor said, "he was lucky to live through that" followed by a voice saying, "uh, he didn't, Steve."

                        Earlier this year I went to Sears to order a dishwasher. Not only did I get the salesman's card to come back during the Sears Day sale, but he found a slightly better model that qualified for the Energuide sales tax rebate. All for less than I was originally budgeted to spend. Believe it or not, the salesperson on duty the day I returned made a point of entering the order under the original salesman's number (I had the card stapled to a printout of what we had agreed on).

                            A 30 minute news cast without hearing the following phrases "suicide bomber", "casualty", "accident", "road rage", "catastrophe", "rape", "kidnapping", "abduction" & "terrorist"

                            There are so many others, but I don't have the time to list them all.
