Just finished watching an episode of Pawn Stars on the History Channel (Channel 28) in which some dude was wearing a red Energy Dome hat of sorts, made famous by 80s techno band Devo.
Most folks probably don’t even know that Pawn Stars is still on the air. However, it was on at 9 a.m. the other day and this dude wanted over $100,000 for it. “The Old Man” (of course) said, “No, thanks,” while Chum Lee thought it was cool.
When Chum put it on, it looked a lot like a pile of red upside-down cat food bowls. I (of course) was looking for one to wear to a post-Halloween party.
Because my loyal readers expect song lyrics, here we go with something I thought would be appropriate: Working so hard like a soldier, can’t afford a thing on tv, deep in my heart I abhor ya. Gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we’ll take it higher. Ho, we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue and then we’ll take it higher. (Electric Avenue – Eddy Grant – 1993)
By the way, this was Montgomery Ward’s theme song for many years. Not only that, but I occasionally shopped at the one that was next to the large mall on E Street that got decommissioned (torn down) in the north end of San Berdoo. If you ever saw it, you’d know why.
Now, if I could just get this cat food bowl off of my head, my hair would smell a lot nicer.
Keep it flyin’,
