tlcorbinChick Checking Gotcha and a Shooting

While watching Fox News Live through sleep deprived eyes and droopy eyelids Saturday afternoon (the 8th), a news flash was reported about a shooting at two locations in Colorado. Which was itself strange, because the norm for that portion of the country, is historically one of easy going tolerance. What captured my attention were the host and hostess of the show, a weekend team of news anchors during the 1-2PM report.
I am compulsive about watching body language, and occasionally it pays off in strange ways; like saving my uh, self from physical harm, or by allowing me a viewing of the unexpected. Like that of a budding interest between the co-hosts, one of whom had experienced an on the air epiphany of monumental proportions. A lightening bolt of realization revealed to the hapless male team member of the on screen participants; his female partner is hot!
Well, alrighty then, maybe the open view of her very ample bust line was his undoing. Anyway, she noticed him noticing, and in mid sentence his eyes, the very pair that had become so riveted on her assets, had to be forcibly withdrawn from the ever so pleasant view. It was with a tangible effort that he unpeeled his gaze from her bodice to the notes he was supposed to be reading from.
There were two others on stage, guests, probably pundits in one obscure field or another; a man and woman. Both guests, upon viewing the male’s antics, whom we’ll call Gregg, became unsettled and started squirming uncomfortably in their seats. That was telling, they’d just confirmed my observation.
So, being professionals, they did what everybody is probably going to do under the circumstances; they ignored the faux pas. They can’t jump each other’s bones on national television during a news broadcast as yet, but, … the atmosphere was becoming quite charged to say the least.
The female team partner, whom we’ll call Julie, noticed Gregg noticing and promptly got even and countered with package check. Realizing the error of his ways, Gregg did his damnedest to maintain his professional demeanor, but he had been busted on national cable news and now couldn’t stop checking her out.
This continued for several on air minutes and was very entertaining for me. I wonder if he, Gregg got an earful or more later. He didn't strike me as having a little boy's curiosity concerning breasts, but then again, who really knows and I doubt that he'll tell. And truthfully, I don't want to know.
As for this bird, I recovered long enough to remember the shooting story and tracked it down. Another disenfranchised terrorist youth from suburbia, venting his wrath on society with a AK-47 and a handgun, in an impotent attempt to communicate his frustration. What happened to his moral compass? It seems he lost it or it was never securely anchored. In spite of his efforts, life went on without him, the News anchor's proved themselves human and his vain efforts proved him dead wrong. And that seems to be the way of these earth bound things.

Those big macs do nothing for me, they don't even look real, what kept his eyes glued was her specific requirement, that gal knew just what she was up to.
With an attractive set, even I could be caught but with the rest, my eyes just take a rest and I get a little exercise turning away.
Forgot most of what I wrote yesterday. Pity.

Is that you up there panning for Gold. Slimmed down of course, and showing your age. I am so cruel.
Not nearly so sweet as pink tulips suggest.

Raven, I suspect you just like a look see,
Not guilty, I was poking fun at the absurdity of the male-female dynamics playing out on the news, breasts are interesting, but not the focus of my passion;
Is that you up there panning for Gold. Slimmed down of course, and showing your age.
Guilty, actually I used to use a suction dredge and worked under water like a monster from the deep, it allowed me to destroy large areas of prime salmon spawning grounds quickly;
Really? When? Did I miss something?
Nary a single comment about the shooting; which was the focus of the breaking news story that had been minimalized by the news team's antics after their biological urges began usurping the moment.
Obvious hyperbole may have been to subtle for this crowd. And ambiguity isn't...
Thanks Krystal, I'm getting sleepy again, the effort exerted responding has been an exhausting five minutes. But well worth the effort, you always manage to cheer me up!
