Day 5 - A New Discovery
by Andrew JohnsonAndy discovers that there are 7 more channels on the TV that were not programmed! He programs them - and we find out why they were deleted. Northwest Arkansas seems to possess more religious television channels than any place on the wired earth. We’re not talking the Catholic Channel on Cable 22 back home in Syracuse… We’re talking stompin’, singin ‘, healin’ and generally bad-leisure-suit-and-blue-hair down home revivals! Two of ‘em are in Spanish! Kinda makes you wish Jake and the Fatman was still in syndication… And just so the collective marketing genius that makes up the Greater NW Arkansas advertising community doesn’t go unnoticed, we are treated daily to the wonderful commercials of Sissy’s Log Cabin (purveyor of fine jewelry and diamonds), the Hanky Brothers (South Park fans will get this) and Hank’s Furniture, a combination of Crazy Eddie and Joe Cocker, where the prices are so low that the owner “is off [my] medication” and the leather sofas are so new, that “they were worn by a cow to work just a week ago.” We are not making this stuff up - you CAN’T make this stuff up.
