Queuing the Way Back Machine today to when television would sign off for the day with either the Star Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful or some national pride song followed by....the test pattern. I'm not sure if Canada followed the same with O Canada and no idea for outside of North America; maybe a splash of tribal head shrinkage followed by some Buddha worshiping.
These long holiday weekends get the sleeping patterns out of whack a bit and with that, I almost wish for the days of a test pattern as the other night/morning I enjoyed infomercials on the Wonder Bible and 'FREE' Miracle Spring Water. For the former, it's not just a regular bible, it's a wonder bible complete with an audio player (as nobody can read anymore), a charging cable, 10+ meditation tracks (Isn't meditation supposed to be silence so why the need for multiple tracks?) and an optional 2nd set in case the first didn't heal you enough. A 30-day money back guarantee is thrown in if you're not healed by then.
For the latter, you have the world at 'free' and 'miracle' so sign me up. I'm sure my tap water is blessed as well so I'll continue paying for it thank you.
One of the initial signs of knowing my Dad had some issues upstairs as he was the one who would be calling for the wonder bible or the miracle water. His 'priceless' JFK coin collection was going to pay off some day he thought along with the other 'get rich' offers even though he had more money than one individual needed to survive.
So to my friends, if you see me talking the virtues of some special water, take me in please.
