The Tower! Ah Wahn Mah Tower!

[blas]

Last March, we had a horrific sleet/ice/snow storm (complete with thunder at times) that was a windy/wet/slippery mess, and was powerful enough to take down a 2,000 foot tall TV tower out in one of the local Bum Egypt small towns around here.

It was made clear on multiple newscasts that it would take a long time to rebuild the tower. They needed people to be patient, blah blah.

It's finally done. But, ever since the day it came down, ANY time the local news has links on FB, some yokel local has to go "Blargle! Is the tower fixed yet? I only have 3 channels and can't get the news!" and "Wahhhh get that tower fixed, I need to watch the news!"

Not even exaggerating. There could be breaking news about a car accident or home robbery, and someone would chime in "Is the tower up yet?! I live in *smalltownof5people* and I need to watch the news!"

Odd that they comment about it via Facebook, which, you know, uses the internet... :/

Bum Egypt

What? I have literally never seen or heard this phrase before.

Probably short for BFE, and I'll let you guess what the middle word is...

But it doesn't last long...

Huh? It was a TV tower that went down.

Then you will soon join us down here in the sewer....

The internet can be used to access the TV station's website, where one can find out what the news is anyway, or even watch a newscast if their connection is fast enough.

But this would require folks to do something other than sit and whine that a TV tower got knocked down. You can see the bind they're in.

Which, if it actually existed would be on the same continent as Timbuktu.

Gee, thanks, I know you can watch TV shows on the internet.

It was reading to me that Krivak thought that those people needed the TV tower to access the internet.

As opposed to the more local north forty!

BFE (along with BFW, BFS, and BFN) all mean "out in the boonies", and their literal meaning is {anal sex} east/west/south/north, although the east-west axis seems to be far more common than the north-south one.

You know, way out there in the north forty!

Aha! I usually use South-Central {anal sex}.

How did we get on this subject again?
