Fast talkers-
Been watching more TV with the weather so rotten.
Can't believe how fast everyone is talking on these TV shows. It's like everything is the most important subject in the world 24/7, and most don't take a breath.
I can understand commercials, because of the cost factor, but why the shows??
Much to do about nothing. Relax, take a deep breath and chill out.

better than Fast Walker's
they'll land in your backyard
and snatch you for an examination
drop you into a big bowl shaped vat of green jello
to disinfect you then take time to explain it all
returning you back home in plenty of time

That's because the stations are working for ratings, and the station staff are whoring themselves out as "media darlings" to hopefully be the first to break a story, uncover a clue or interview a long-lost relative of the guy who cleaned pools for the uncle of some obscure celebrity.
Then there's the local media....
Some are happy to be the thorn in the politicians side, because there will ALWAYS be a story surrounding our useless politicians.
Others are just hired to be the "piece of fluff" to satisfy those that only care to oogle the "people in the moving picture box".
Me, I'd prefer to have news staff that can deliver the news without "trying" to enhance it with sideline stories, added charts and graphs or those long-lost relatives mentioned earlier.
Maybe if they could just focus on the basic story and info, they's be able to slow down?
Nah, not in this current environment where anything is considered news if it's delivered as "Breaking News" during the soaps!

fast walkers are the nasa/governments code word for
things that fly faster than anything we presently have in
aeronautics ..... light years ahead of us
when they (the grays)talk to you
....they talk inside your head and not at you
they have full control of your mind at that given time...
