Welcome to the 103rd edition of the "Saturday Six." If you do the math, next week will be edition 104, and when you divide that by 52, and you'll see that will wrap up two full years of the Six!
Last week, Cdmmw of "I've Got A Fever, and the Only Prescription is More Cowbell" was first to play last week. Congratulations!
Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link in the comments here to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. Assuming you have a DVD player and a show you used to enjoy becomes available on DVD...what is the deciding factor on whether or not you'll actually buy it?
Available funds. So far, while numerous movies have made it home, I have managed to avoid the purchase of old TV shows. There are a very few that, if they appeared at a reasonable price, I'd be sorely tempted, assuming any discretionary funds at all were available.
2. What do you find generally more offensive: the average prime time television show or the people who want their own personal standards of decency to be the guidelines the networks must follow?
Those who would impose their own standards upon others should be snatched up by an angry, torch bearing mob in the middle of the night, tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. Of course, with my luck, the neighbors will have a spare feather pillow.
3. If you were in charge of the FCC, which of the following would be your priority when it comes to decency on the airwaves: cutting down on violence, sex or profanity?
None of the above. However, I would strengthen and/or reinstate the broadcast fairness standards. It has become impossible for any but the predominant two political parties to convey their message to the public. It is the source of the rabid dualism gripping the political throats of the populace and in the interest of reducing the horrid state of political affairs in the USA, other parties and voices must be heard. Therefore, equal time provisions for all would become the rule for all local and state races. At the expense of a complete ban upon paid political speech on the nation's airwaves, both radio and television. Let the national races wage their campaigns in the print media only. Henceforth, the public airwaves would return to discussion of local issues and state races only.
4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?
You will be sucked dry by a leech.
I'd stay away from swimming holes, and stick to good old cement.
Even if it does hurt like hell when your toe scrapes the bottom.
Take this quiz!

5. One of those crazy remodeling shows appears at your door one day and offers to redo any room of your house or apartment for free, but that it can only be one single room that gets a makeover. Would you let them in, and if so, which room would you choose and why?
Assuming the house was clean and neat enough that SWMBO will consent to their entrance, let's give them a challenge, shall we? I do hope they've brought barrels of money though, because the kitchen needs the makeover and the first place one would start would be the crumbled and crumbling foundation. Then, they'd never be happy with the tilting floors, the half-assed job the previous owners did with leveling concrete, now would they? Of course, we'd have to do something with heat and plumbing and electricity (the house was built in the 1850's, after all) and then the tin ceiling with the 500 coats of paint would pose a minor challenge, too. Mustn't forget cabinets and new counter tops and flooring and my, my, my, we've blown through the entire budget for six shows, now haven't we?
On second thought, this place will never be clean and neat enough that my wife will ever let anyone through the door, so I guess we don't have to worry about this at all, now do we?
6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #86 from cdmmw2: Do you recall your first kiss? Did you think that kissing was worth all the hype??
Yes. Yes. Nope.
