Oh here we go.
Grandpa gonna show us how its done.
What's that Pops...you're working at Tusksaloosa State?
"Yes...in
class were studying the contributions of Philo Farnsworth in the field
of electron beaming.
The students have to pay attention. It's all on the mid-term."
"Well the
gear is exceptionally heavy and besides I feel the students can really
benefit from my many years of blah...blah...blah."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
This guy better
be shooting in a gay bar or else he's got some explaining to do.
Musta been hot
wherever he was.
I'm picturing
this camera later that night was probably aimed at this guy's bed.
Probably kept
the vest on though.
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
Jesus...where's
Dick Clark?
Yeah...rack
on over to the Zoomar lens there Bobby.
"Yeah...videotape
changed everything. Used to be fun. That's me there on the Bozo set,
right after the first divorce."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
"Shut up Kyle! You've been bitchin' ever since
you didn't get the weekend anchor spot.
The sun is hitting the woman fine. It'll look fine.
You better start trusting my work man...or I'm gonna make sure you
NEVER look good.
You better have cash today 'cause you ain't gettin'
shit outta me."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
Ahh...youth.
Fascinated by TV.
Flash ahead:
Tommy here does indeed fulfill his dream and become a TV news cameraman.
He's making
22 thousand down in Spartanburg.
His best friend
is a video game entrepreneur that just sold his company to Yahoo for
25 million.
Tommy and his
kids enjoy swimming in his friend's pool every second Tuesday and
Third Friday of the month when his friend's are away at the vacation
house in Maui.
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
"Hey
Jerry. Tell the camera guy about your bad surgery. They can
get you a lawsuit with one of those consumer reports they do."
"Yeah...my
doctor really screwed up on my colon surgery. I been pissing blood
for a month.
"And
you can't get it up...tell 'em Jerry?"
"Yeah...my
wife's starting to read those women's magazines, that tell you how
to cheat and not get caught."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
I don't know if
this guy is getting a shot, or trying to figure out if Japanese guys
wear anything under their skirts.
"Hold on...lemme
just roll tape here and...say...is that a chopstick under there or
are you just glad to see me?"
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
"Yeah...get
a shot of all of 'em he says.
He's gonna need
a shot of every single friggin' one he says.
Yeah...the teacher
is a knockout you prick. That's why I brought you to this school.
I see you didn't waste any time hittin' on her. I could blow you up
big time if I told your wife about the waitress at Louie's.
He's driving back...the shit."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
"Cold out here today....Yep...cold out today!
Glad it's not raining like yesterday.
What am I thinking about?...oh you know...how about that there are
like 50,000 guys cutting a wedding video in a nice comfy suite right
now...making a pretty good chunk of dough to do it...and I'm sitting
on a packing crate in front of the courthouse...got 25 minutes to
cut this...gloves aren't helping me for shit with these buttons...and
the wind has pasted my lips to my teeth."
"Gotta love that glamour though."
"Hey...Cameraman!!"
"So to all
the many news media gathered here today we wanted to say that we hope
to use this grant to make sure that these local traffic studies reflect
the changing times of the city and the...are you getting this?..."
"What...oh
yeah...I close my eyes like that a lot on sunny days. Go ahead and
give him the big check. "
