“Last Minute Shoppers”


Okay as a service to my loyal readers I am going to give you some hints for last minute Christmas shopping. Although I doubt all these people are on of your lists.


Trent Lott: A White Christmas

Flyers Center Jeremy Roenick: Anger management classes

NHL Commissioner Garry Bettman: A clue. Maybe a tape of fans cheering at games when a fight breaks out or a big hit is thrown.

Dan K.: A stool and a short but sturdy rope.

Elijah Wood: Tickets to that play about Santa Claus being gay playing in Philly. Perhaps this will get him to come out of the closet. Don’t ask me why I know about this play.

Ryan: A map of the country for when he drives west.

Allen Iverson: A scanner so he knows if the evil Philadelphia cops are lurking behind him.

Al Gore: A radio show so the liberals can quit bitching.

Ryan’s GF: A ball of yarn..she is a cat !!!! MEOW

Avril: A big warm hug to keep her warm on a damn cold night!

Michelle Smith: A new car

Apsen: A Chocolate bar twice the size of her, because sometimes a girl just needs Chocolate…I am not sure what that means.

Jenna: Anything is better than what I got her.

Rick: A crown

Drew: A Christmas Mircale. Read his blog. Some one give him a hug or something
TERMINUS
If I succeded here..its my first HYPER-Link on Tucker's World. Although I doubt I did. I hate Computers.

Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks: A hulla-hoop. As far as I know he still wants one.

Ed: Pictures of the crew

Price: Gay porn so he gets discharged.


“Welcome to Comcast Country IV: It Came A Upon a Channel 34 Clear”



Well for my new readers that don’t know the on going story on Tucker’s World. I am documenting what will lead to a monopoly following the Comcast Company’s growth and its occasional abuse of their customers.

In September, the company flipped Comcast Sportsnet which carries all the local sports teams except the Eagles from channel 9 to 69. Now unless you are lucky enough to have digital cable (more than half of their subscribers don’t) You noticed that one or least one of your TVs Comcastsportsnet came in fuzzy and sometimes not at all. After various complaints and phone calls my family never got the problem solved and I was forced to watch the Flyers through my VCR, in order to get a grainy but watchable picture.

Finally they are going to put it on channel 34, and flip the Weather Channel to channel 57. That makes the Hallmark channel go to ….ahh who cares?

Well it took months of customers and bars bitching, and they finally did something about it. But they couldn’t admit their fault and put it back to channel 9. Because I still believe in my heart that it was a scam to drum up more digital customers…It was a nice Christmas present but the company’s dirty tricks are far from over I am afraid.
