I know, I should probably do a post on Kyle Sandilands, I'm so not hip!
Still, there are better things in life to waste my time (and typing fingers on).
Like Spicks and Specks.
A while back, I blogged about my (almost) complete disinterest in television. In it, I mentioned that Spicks and Specks was one of the only shows that actually bother watching.
Well sadly last night it came to an end. And despite the fact that I forgot to watch it more often than not, I'll miss it.
'Cause Spicks and Specks was a show I was comfortable with. It made me laugh, it gave me a chance to see a range of cool musical type people in funny situations...
...and it made me feel smart.
When I was younger, I could identify most songs within the first few bars. And as I grew older I got better at it. And I developed a fairly encyclopedic knowledge of music and musicians.
A totally useless skill I thought, until I realised that Alan Brough and Myf Warhurst got paid to do it every week. Bastards! I could have been so good on that show!
Because I'm not super intelligent, no matter how much I yearn to be so. Oh, I'm not dumb, but I've never been one of those intelligent, witty types that have a snappy answer for everything and seem to come up with the answer effortlessly.
When I'm watching Spicks and Specks I am smart. I can answer a lot of the questions. My family tell me how good I am at it. And it makes me feel good.
So it's not just the cool music, laughter and funky sets that I'll miss, it's also the world-beating feeling of awesomeness.
Thanks for the memories guys...(oh, and I'll see you next month at the Spicks and Speck-tacular!)

ReplyDeleteYou don't have to be watching S&S to be smart! In fact, I think that you are SO smart, that sometimes even you don’t understand a single word of what you are saying.
ReplyDeleteAnd just to keep you smiling while doing all that marking....remember, some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Thanks Clint! You always know just what to say...
