Ok…..
When I figure out who Tony is……
I’ll tell ya.
You looked mahvelous in that segment btw.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:01 pm
What’s in a name ?
“A rose by any other name smells as sweet”
Tony Shakespeare
JT 05.11.10 at 5:06 pm
I came on here to say I just saw Dr. Mike on tv with a model of a human brain.
I remember when he would come on tv with an actual brain.
That was still warm.
And thinking.
I guess this way, the studio doesn’t have to pay the actor.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:18 pm
What was the topic here again ?
Oh yeah, speak English.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:26 pm
I used to be a supervisor that worked in a place that hired a lot of people that didn’t have a good command of the English language.
I currently work in a hardware store and from time to time…..
people come in that don’t have a good command of the English language.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:29 pm
In both situations,
through a combination of hand signals, pidgeon english and charades ( a sedaGIVE ?)
we manage to reach an accommodation.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:31 pm
Although, I must say, on some occasions, after one of these exchanges, I have a feeling of relief as though I have just given birth.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:48 pm
But after this….I can feel that I accomplished something.
JT 05.11.10 at 5:54 pm
On the OTHER hand….
There have been times in my life, and at the store, that people that have a good command of the English language have asked me a question….
and I answer to the best of my knowledge….
and if I don’t know the answer, I freely admit that I don’t know….
and then…
they wanna argue with me.
JT 05.11.10 at 6:00 pm
My position in this situation has always been….
1.If I wanna get into an argument, I’ll get married again.
and…..
2. If you know so guldang much, what the HECK did you ask ME for ? (again, I must point out that my choice of language here is a reflection that this is a PG blog)
JT 05.11.10 at 6:03 pm
So, I guess what I’m saying is….
“Speaking English” isn’t the “be all, end all” that people make it out to be.
JT 05.11.10 at 6:05 pm
Give my regards to Tony.
bobm 05.12.10 at 10:58 am
Happy Hump Day All. I must admit, Tony came out of nowhere to me?? I will stay tuned to KL to get more informed. Thanks to Dr. Mike I now know about all of the different types of strokes!! be safe friends the quarry beckons!
JT 05.12.10 at 2:50 pm
The quarry ?
That’s one place you can’t take anything for granite.
bobm 05.13.10 at 10:11 am
HaHa!!! I love that!! My Sediments Exactly!!! Be safe KLTVers!!! Just waiting for Tony to speak again!!
JT 05.14.10 at 7:21 am
Whew. TGIF ! I thought it was gonna be Wednesday forever.
Bob - how do you get into the quarry ?
Do you use the stairs…..
or do you take the excavator ?
bobm 05.14.10 at 10:33 am
TGIF KLTV!!! The Quarry? I either slide down one of KL’s belts ore i employ one of her earrings as a grappling hook, depending whats on my slate for that day?? be safe all!
JT 05.16.10 at 5:59 am
I can dig it.
It sounds like a blast.
Biggy Bo 05.18.10 at 4:27 am
Kerri-Lee looks like she’s 25 in this video.
JT 05.18.10 at 4:29 am
A rainy Monday.
Oh, it’s Tuesday.
whatever.
JT 05.18.10 at 11:42 am
I have a question for Dr. Mike…..
My left palm is itchy.
Am I gonna get some money, or do I have a disease ?
JT 05.18.10 at 11:44 am
All of the women at Fox29 are 25.
Right Bob ?
JT 05.18.10 at 11:46 am
The “full moon people” are starting to trickle in the mine.
bobm 05.19.10 at 10:40 am
Happy Hump Day KLTVers!! Why, yes JT all of the gals seem to be stuck at 25. some kind of time-warp from deep within the quarry. Julie seems to be stuck at 24 though. and Ms. Crowley……….. Be safe all.

JT 05.29.10 at 4:44 am
Bob - how did you know KL was in Bouth Carolina ?
JT 05.29.10 at 4:44 am
Nobody tells me nuthin’.
JT 05.29.10 at 4:46 am
Right now, Bill Clinton is on another station talking about the Gulf oil spill.
He’s an expert on drilling.
JT 05.29.10 at 4:56 am
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend, everyone.
And please take a moment this weekend to remember what the holiday is about.
bobm 05.31.10 at 11:16 am
Happy Memorial Day all. JT is correct, Hug a Vet for all they have done!! And hug a News Anchor just because! JT you are silly. BC stands for where the Beautiful Canadian women come from!! be safe all.
JT 06.01.10 at 3:38 am
There is a beautiful breeze outside right now.
That’s the accuweather.
bobm 06.01.10 at 11:00 am
Happy Tuesday KLTVers!!! Although it feels like Monday?? Todays forecast is Muggy!!!!! and no JT im not talking about getting robbed in a dark alley!!!! be safe all
JT 06.01.10 at 8:07 pm
Ya really nailed the forecast, Bob.
But I liked mine better.
It’s not my fault the sun came up and the breeze stopped.
Some things are out of my control.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:11 pm
Speaking of speaking English, I just watched Hëll’s Kitchen.
I missed the beginning, but there was a guy on there…..
and I don’t know if he’s a newcomer to our land…..
or his jaw muscles are paralyzed.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:13 pm
One thing I DO know…..
if I was in a restaurant and he started talking….
I wouldn’t know if he was outlining the menu….
or threatening to have my car towed.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:18 pm
Whatever his ailment be….
it’s nice that he’s been given an opportunity…
but, realistically……
maybe he’s not quite ready for the Big Top.
Ya know ?
JT 06.01.10 at 8:19 pm
Maybe he could get a job with Tony.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:38 pm
On the few occasions I’ve watched this show…..
I always ask myself the same question……
Where do they get these people ?
JT 06.01.10 at 8:43 pm
Apparently, they come from kitchens all over America.
And I find that more than a little bit scary.
Like the guy tonight that tasted the food…and put the spoon back in the pot.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:45 pm
Less gross, but equally uninspiring….
was the woman that put the crabmeat into the lobster dish.
And WHAT was the crabmeat doing at the lobster station ?
JT 06.01.10 at 8:48 pm
That reminded me of the Three Stooges episode where Moe was painting with a cup of coffee next to the paint can…..
and he dipped the paintbrush into the coffee…..
and drank the paint.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:50 pm
You expect that kinda stuff from the Stooges….
not from the people handling your dinner.
JT 06.01.10 at 8:56 pm
I also wonder why people would dine at Hëll’s Kitchen.
Especially early in the season.
Don’t they watch tv ?
JT 06.01.10 at 9:01 pm
Every year, it’s the same thing…..
“One hour into the dinner service, no entrees have been served.”
and the camera cuts to the hungry patrons.
Then…. “two hours into the dinner service…..”
Then…..”Three hours….”
And …..”Four hours……”
JT 06.01.10 at 9:02 pm
I always expect to see skeletons sitting at the tables.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:02 pm
With cobwebs hanging off them.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:06 pm
If you ever go to Hëll’s Kitchen to eat, my advice would be to eat a big meal beforehand, and bring a lunch.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:12 pm
They gave all of the contestants a set of knives at the beginning.
That’s nice and all……
but if it was up to me…..
I wouldn’t give any of that bunch anything pointy before week nine.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:13 pm
The winner of Hëll’s Kitchen gets to be the Head Chef at a restaurant for a year.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:14 pm
And I think that’s too large of a leap.
JT 06.01.10 at 9:16 pm
It’s kinda like…..
“Whoever passes this Driver’s Ed Course gets to be the Flight Leader of a squadron of Fighter Planes.”
Rich 06.01.10 at 9:53 pm
Hey all! Looks like KL is in here about as often as I am. Maybe its time to rename the site JTtv.com. Hope all is well…
JT 06.02.10 at 11:48 am
Hiya Rich ! How are ya ?
Bob is on here as much or more than I.
He kept the blog going while I was on hiatus.
Then I got a hiatus hernia.
As for renaming the site……
I vote…..
Nah.
JT 06.02.10 at 11:48 am
The mine calls.
