My wife and I moved to northeast Mississippi about five years ago. One of the first television ads we saw in this area was for Pap's Place, a Southern-style buffet restaurant in Ackerman, Miss.
To move toward understanding it, I think you must see some of these ads. Here's one of the early ones. And here's a more recent ad. (I intend no copyright infringement in sharing these ads; I just want more people to see them!)
From early on after seeing these ads, I've wanted the rest of the world to enjoy the good craziness which takes place in these videos and I tried to figure out how to get them captured and uploaded.
I'm glad someone else did.
One of my short-term life goals is for the Pap's Place ads to go VIRAL!
I have several reasons for my twisted pursuit.
The food is great, though not necessarily part of a heart-approved diet. We usually don't go there more than once year.
The atmosphere is just good-ol' down home. Elvis shares a place on the wall of trinkets and goodies along with Jesus.
The folks who run the place are sweeter than the desserts on the bar. They love their customers, regardless of color, age or station in life.
So I would appreciate the help from anyone who's either been to Pap's or is just as intrigued by these ads as I am to lend me a hand and get as many people as possible to see these commercials!
And if you can ever get to Ackerman to see the place, just trust me: It's worth the trip!

Eight suggestions on how 'BSG' could have ended better
I've already seen one person's conclusion as to how "Battlestar Gallactica's" creators flubbed the two-hour series finale and I tend to agree with a lot of this person's comments.
But my approach to this subject will be slightly different in that I will make recommendations on what could have made the difference in ending what could have been one of television's greatest drama series.
Instead, the ending left me slightly less impressed with the series than I had been over the course of the previous five years of its existence. It still, on the whole, was a well-thought-out, well-acted, vast improvement over the original 1970s series. But the ending, at least in this stage in looking back on it, left way too many loose ends. Yes, life doesn't leave us with neatly-tied packages; sometimes it takes years to clean up what one person leaves behind.
But this is a television show, and its creators and writers appeared to just throw their hands up and say "I quit" with the series-ender.
The thing which is the most difficult for me to swallow is that the crescendo toward which many character and story lines appeared headed just seemed to get forgotten about or abandoned as the end neared.
Genuine character resolution - following a character to his or her logical, at least plausible, conclusion - simply appeared lacking.
I read somewhere that the creators focused on the characters in the end, not the story line. Both are equally important, and one - the story - was largely lacking at the end.
OK, here's my list of what the shows creators could have done differently to make "Battlestar's" ending a fitting conclusion to the rest of the series:
1. Help Kara Thrace make sense. Kara just sort of "poofs" at the end; literally. She's there one minute and not the next. She's too integral a character to just disappear. Her death and later existence as a resurrected being is not fully explained; she even wonders aloud who she is. She deserves an answer and so do we.
2. Give "All Along the Watchtower" stronger meaning. It's a timeless song, there's no doubt, but its impact seems pervasive and guiding - it clicked on four dormant Cylons; Kara knew it as a kid; even human-Cylon hybrid Hera knew it and it helped get the colonists to Earth. There must have been a reason beyond what the creators have explained as it just being something which comes out of the ether and provides guidance. Its influence suggests someone else was helping it get that way. Who was that?
3. Let Gaius Baltar's heroism not be a surprise. He makes a major stand toward the end, one which seemed uncharacteristic for him. Just help us see how he went from the sniveling little brat he was most of the series to this stand-up guy. And he and Six turn out to be glorified narrators as well as types of Adam and Eve. Explain that better, please.
4. Help us understand who Daniel was. Was Daniel, the 13th humanoid Cylon, Kara's father? What was his role?
5. Who created the Final Five? In one episode, Ellen tells Cavil that he is named John, after her father. There's no answer to this question whatsoever.
6. Who is God? The Cylons are mono-theistic. The humans are not - they're polytheistic. How did it get this way and why do the two cultures make the distinction?
7. Let the final battle with Cavil's Cylons be less anti-climatic. Why couldn't we have some well-aimed gunfire in the ventilation shaft or a black-ops plan that worked or a Cylon model who turns on Cavil and blows up the base ship? The writer whose link I post above mentions how Cavil just sort of gives up in the firefight in the command center and eats a bullet. Not how his character should have ended.
8. Tell us how the humanoid Cylons and the humans co-exist on the new Earth. Do they just make babies and be happy with each other? Do they make babies with the Earthlings who are there already? Or are we to believe the mantra that it has happened before, it will happen again? At the very end, I think we're supposed to think that but I'm not sure.
Sure, I agree that consumers of television shows, books, movies, music, etc., should draw their own conclusions and not every last detail should be spoon fed and excruciatingly explained.
But these are just the eight things which come immediately to mind which would have made the series-finale so much more tangible and interesting.

Revamped!
Since I've taken some steps to increase the potential visibility of this blog, I decided over the past weekend to make it more navigable and catalog every post in some form or fashion, especially the posts which pre-date the label feature's availability.
Speaking of labels, please note the one entitled "essential posts." If you read no other posts on this blog, I'd appreciate you taking the time to read these, even though several are fairly lengthy. There are currently five posts in this folder.
You'll also find I've clarified my About Me info and even dropped a picture of Amanda and I in the profile so you'll know there's a real human behind this. It should also be easier now to follow this blog with the Subscribe feature in a prominent location.
So please enjoy and let me know if you have questions!

Ohhh Noooo!
There's something strangely comforting about having Mr. Bill back in the popular culture - at least enough to warrant a MasterCard commercial. (It was a regular gag on the old Saturday Night Live circa late '70s to around 1980.)
I'm not sure what else needs to be said.

An interesting disclaimer
Last night, we were watching television and I caught something as a movie ad was just about to end - the word "tobacco." Fortunately, we have TiVo and I could scroll back and read the reference more closely.
I don't remember the exact wording but it was a disclaimer stretched across the bottom of the standard miniature version of the basic credits and above and in larger type than the normal rating and reason for that rating.
It basically warned potential viewers of the depiction of tobacco use.
That's right. Tobacco use.
Not graphic depictions of horror, overblown violence, incredibly excessive language or sex scenes which leave absolutely nothing to the imagination.
Tobacco use.
I'm a proponent for protecting against the slippery slope, that dangerous point of no return where if you set a precedent, you leave the proverbial barn door open for the activity to continue and then spread to include more things.
Don't get me wrong - I think the steps our culture has taken to limit second-hand smoke are, in large degree, good for us. Yet, this comes at the cost of limiting adults' freedom to use the product, which is still legal in this country.
I think we must be careful as a nation how much personal freedom we restrict and that when we choose to limit it, it must be for good reason.
I think giving general descriptions of why a movie has the rating it does is fine.
However, if don't exercise caution in delivering these warnings, then everything will be bad for us and we won't be able to make any decisions for ourselves without having everything disclaimed.
Then, we'll be puppets and not a collective of independently-thinking citizens.

Quick ... before the month ends!
Here are a few quick thoughts before the month of May ends. Both of them have to do with comedy.
RIP Harvey Korman
This comedic legend passed away this week but left us with plenty of warm memories belly laughs. His work in this sketch from the Carol Burnett Show speaks for itself. He's the one in the chair.
The brilliance of "Office Space"
If you have not seen the movie "Office Space," then what I will post below is a spoiler, so don't read any further if you haven't seen it and want to do so.
I recently came across a word I'd never heard - I guess I was previously deprived due to my Southern upbringing.
"Tchotchke" is a term for "trinkets, small toys, knickknacks, baubles, or kitsch," according to the Wikipedia definition. The name of the restaurant where Jennifer Aniston's character works - and where employees are required to wear flair - is Chotchkie's. Same name, same concept. Brilliant!

Mad about Studio 60
OK, NBC's been cleaning out its stock of "Studio 60" episodes since they made the decision to pull the plug on the brillant but seldom-watched show. I've already written about this but it needs to be said again - this show was one of the best on television this year. It was smart, funny where it needed to be, serious much of the time and just a brilliant, behind-the-scenes look at how television, particularly a live sketch comedy show, lives - and sometimes - dies.
I hope this television show will get another life, maybe on NBC's sister network, USA.
Unfortunately, we live in a country where reality television - most of which is designed so we can switch off our minds - largely dominates the attention of television viewers, not well-crafted pieces of art, what "Studio 60" is.
We so soon forget that television shows are, from a business standpoint, vehicles through which advertising is sold and money is made.
Ultimately, that's all that really seems to matter in the end.

Why do we care?
This is a little outdated but it's something that's been rattling around inside for several weeks.
The aftermath of Anna Nicole Smith's death left a sordid mess that, apparently, the legal system is ill-equipped to straighten out.
There is isn't a celebrity death in my memory that equaled the circus quality of Smith's. The only recent comparison was that of Princess Diana, but the world's reaction carried a different tone - shock, dismay, disbelief.
Those left to claim a right to Smith's child - and her elusive fortune - made a mockery of her life, which already was fraught with complications - some self-induced, some not.
Despite her behavior in life, she should have been allowed at least a thimble-full of dignity in her death.
No such luck.
And, not long afterward, we followed Britney Spears' yo-yo rehab saga, checked out her latest tattoos and wondered aloud why she decided to go the Sinead O'Connor route with the hairstyle.
But, with Spears and Smith alike, I have to ask, why do we care?
I think it's because most of us think that those with money and fame are somehow closer to the divine than the rest of us - and we're puzzled when they act human or worse.
If we had a better understanding of the divine, we would realize that neither money, nor fame, can create spiritual enlightenment or bring us any closer to God.
The only thing money and fame seems to bring anybody is more - more stuff and often more problems.
So let's let Smith rest in peace and Spears get herself together.
Just like we'd do for anyone else.

Studio 60
OK, for my handful of readers, a tidbit to tide you over until I have more time!
Another decent show apparently may not come back to the Peacock network - "Studio 60." Yes, the writers bashed a pretend version of the American Family Association for effectively squelching creativity. But they also developed a central character, Harriet Hayes, who is a believing Christian, to balance it out.
I thought it was brilliantly written and well acted, particularly by Matthew Perry. I forgot about Chandler Bing.
I tend to like shows which often don't make it out of the first year and they tend to be those with some thought and effort behind the work. "E-Ring" was another one.
Fortunately one exception is "My Name is Earl."
Anyway, I hope they bring back "Studio 60" but it looks doubtful from what I hear. Maybe the next show I latch on to will actually stay on beyond one season!

Not sure what to write
And here we are again near the end of the night and I'm trying to figure out what to write. What I can say about the day is hard to put into words sometimes.
But I know that Jadyn went through some rough patches during the day, and so did Mommy.
I'm learning how to understand that what happens at home is sometimes really hard on Amanda and sometimes I'm not sensitive enough to that.
Parenthood is at once one of the most rewarding and challenging parts of life.
In the end I pray we raise a daughter who loves Jesus, knows who she is, is able to navigate the world with grace and wisdom and hopefully raise a family of her own with a loving, wise husband.
'Night!

Early to bed ...
Well, 10:30 is early for us these days, but neither Amanda nor I slept well last night.
(Betcha can't guess whether I went to the gym, huh?)
My eyelids are flittering shut every so often.
Guess there's nothing much to report otherwise except that Jadyn amazes us every day. We're grateful she's in our lives.
Got another early start to the day tomorrow. Later!

Tick tock
Here's another short entry in my feeble, unofficial attempt to participate in NaBloPoMo.
When we can take a nap on a Sunday after church AND get something done, that's pretty amazing.
I've been feeling pretty good lately after getting to the gym twice this week for the first time in five months.
Working out really makes a difference on all sorts of levels.
I'm up pretty late tonight so I don't know how it's going to work but hopefully I can get up and get in gear in the a.m.

Ooops!
Well, since I was late getting started anyway, I don't think it matters that I skipped Friday in blogging. It just slipped my mind.
OK, Michael Richards shouldn't have said what he said and maybe he should have thought twice about getting frustrated with his hecklers in the way he did. But everybody makes mistakes and he should be given a second chance.
They even got Kenny Kramer, the real person his Seinfeld character was based on, to weigh in on the subject, and what he said in an Associated Press story was really funny:
"You know what the good news is?" he asked. "Judith Regan is now on a plane to California, trying to sign Michael Richards to a book deal: 'If I Were a Racist, Here's What I Would Have Said.'"
That's a reference to the OJ Simpson book deal, in case you don't know.

Thanksgiving
We had a good time with some folks from church and just kind of hung out at home later. Jadyn's still getting over her cold.
I think about the family members I've spent Thanksgiving with who are now gone, but I know that I have family who now still love us, care for us and are glad we are here. For that, I am grateful.
I'm grateful we've had another day to at least learn how to live a life of gratitude, and, hopefully, faithfulness.

Life stuff
Just spent a bunch of money we didn't have on my old truck. Hope we can get some return on our investment. But when you need to get to and from work, then to and from other places from work, you kinda have to have a vehicle!
But I am thankful I live in a country where I am relatively free to walk down the street, talk to whom I want, hang out with whom I want and generally live life the way I see fit.
I am thankful I have a wife and daughter who love me - they prove it every day, a job, friends and family who care. I'm glad I'm alive and I'm glad I'm coming to know Jesus Christ over the years.
Well, it's time to work on a few other things before bedtime.
I'm looking forward to Jadyn's second Thanksgiving.

Wo' out!
Boy it's been a long day.
I forgot what time it started. Now I remember: Just before 6.
It's time to hit the sack.
But before I go: My old reliable truck's clutch went out on me, Jadyn's getting sick again and Amanda wasn't feeling so hot today either. Just had a bumpy day.
We'll get through it by the grace of God.
Good night!

Exhausted
Been an exhausting day.
Fun for most of it, but still some things left to finish before I turn in for the evening.
Raking leaves was pretty enjoyable for the most part. It helped when I got the blower working.
That's it for now. Will try to blog more tomorrow.

Up way too late
Gotta get to bed soon while the gettin's good. We've got some severe weather rolling through here and I'd better get as much sleep as I can get.
Lighting flashes outside the window tell me I've had the computer on way too long. No sense in risking it.
Today was overall a good day. Jadyn really looks like she grows some everyday. She's really an amazing little girl and we really are fortunate to have her.
Well, better go. Good night!

More stuff
Well, it looks like my blogging into the rest of the month won't count since I didn't start on the 1st. Oh well, at least people may see my stuff and I'll get in the hang of updating it more.
Maybe.
Going to bed after at nearly 1 a.m. and waking up at 7 is kind of like having a hangover without - in this case - doing anything one normally does to GET a hangover.
We must up and at 'em here shortly. So I'll try to give this blog a little more substance a little later in the week. But I will try to give the readers - however few there may be - something every day until we hit December.
So enjoy!
