Since the World Is seemingly such an ugly nasty place full of ill mannered folk . . .

I might as well be having a "DEADWOOD" marathon.

Just officially got hooked on that show, as of this past weekend (watching on DVD, as I am one of them dirt worshiping heathen who does not have cable TV).

Yes, many if not most of the denizens of this fictionalized version of the real former pioneer gold rush camp are the foulest bunch of folk ya ever seen on TV, but at least they are entertaining.

Hell, look at the state of the world today. Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Lebanon, oh and the cowardly psychopathic pundits on various bad cable TV shows and elsewhere in print, and . . .

some fictional Wild West killers who play basically only with six shooters and knives look rather quaint by comparison, even if they can't go for a minute without cussin!

Oh and I stopped right before the episode in Season One titled "Mr. Wu."

Now if Mr. Wu ran a resturant, I don't think I would want the Pork Fried Rice, or any pork products from his hogs.

(Inside joke there!)
