Why you put up target with Indian Chief on it?

Geritopia said...

because i spent part of my weekend putting music to some knucklehead's lyrics and that should be sufficient.

For the record, this picture posted here is one of the old "Test Pattern" signs that they use to put up on the T.V. screen when the Television Stations would go to to bed (off-the- air) at night back when I was a youngster.

As to why they put an image of an "Indian Chief" up there along with the "Test Pattern," that's hard to say. Maybe it was the T.V. Producers way of trying to diminish their guilt of stereo typing Indians, not giving them enough parts in their productions and or the taking their country away from them as well as almost destroying their beautiful culture in the process.

The real motive as such, gets dicy and harder to unearth as time goes by........

Pondering,

P.S. As for it being a target....I don't think so, or the image would be in the center.

Geritopia said...

i originally proposed that the winner recieve a burnt piece of bacon. but without the eggs, it would've been an empty gesture.

Or maybe you want some "ELMERS"?

This is what the rules clearly state for the song contest.....let me read them for you....."Whosoever shall win the Geritopia Song Contest, is therefore declared a "Knucklehead."

So unless you're a "Knucklehead," you have nothing to worry about.

Dear Editors,

Ah, this is Jerry Lewis. And for those of you who are laughing at that picture of me. I first want to say that it's not current. And I wasn't bloated by my over inflated ego or from piggy-out constantly in the Vegas troughs either.

The picture is due to my reaction to drugs to overcome my chronic pain of people in the press who don't worship my work enough.

As for France....there shall always be a place in my heart for your unwavering devotion :)

Master Comedian,
Jerry Lewis

P.S. I love my "Kids" see! And every penny I make goes to them! Damn it!
