Switched to more Looney Tunes spoof shorts while eating lunch. "Rabbitson Crusoe" washes up on a tropical island, only to be pursued by a shipwrecked Yosemite Sam. Bugs finds himself playing Schzerade telling tales of his adventures to a picky sultan via clips of his older shorts in "Hare-Rabian Nights." Daffy Duck takes on horror cliches and possessed duck dames in "The Duxorcist," a paranormal satire originally made for the feature-length film Daffy Duck's Quackbusters. Bugs has his own go-around with horror when he learns all his usual enemies have been replaced by pacifist robots who turn his usual short into an "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers."
Headed out to work after the last short ended. Work was off-and-on busy, and probably only that because today is our Senior Discount Day. It was hot and hazy, but once again windy and not terribly humid. There were some really annoying people, including a woman who was really obnoxious about having to put away part of her order because she couldn't afford it, and another who threw a fit because she read the signs wrong on the meat sales. One says "4 for 20." The other is just "buy four of the same meat, get money off." The coolers aren't even near each other. And I landed in express yet again, when all I ever do there is panic. I was so happy when it slowed down enough for me to leave with no relief and no need for one.
Oh, and they're still working on the store. The floor in front of the registers leading past the floral department to the entrance had been cemented, but the tiles were missing. I think I also figured out why the last week of July is blocked off when there's absolutely nothing going on this month besides Independence Day. I heard someone mention a grand re-opening event. Why there would be a grand re-opening event when we never closed and just had some remodeling done is beyond me, but whatever.
Went straight home and into dinner and Match Game '79. Scoey Mitchilll seemed a tad cranky in this episode. He wouldn't even look at Fannie when she had to give an important answer, assuming she'd give a comic one that wouldn't match. (She didn't. And considering I can count the amount of times Scoey matched on one hand, he's not one to talk.) Gene's more annoyed with a broken button on-set that had to be haphazardly taped, while Loretta Swit isn't happy with the rubber snake someone stuck in Gene's pocket.
Finished the night on YouTube with the Mystery 7 marathon. I came in for a second season 90's episode of The Newlywed Game, then a first-season one with Bob Kroger. People kept saying how terrible the first season was, but frankly...other than the change of set and host and a few strange games, I didn't see that much difference. I'm not the biggest fan of that franchise to begin with. The later 2012 UK Blockbusters was infinitely more interesting. Glad to see the mid-70's syndicated Concentration with Jack Narz, too. Buzzr dropped it last year, and I miss it.
Here's the marathon, for your enjoyment!
