(It seems that when you start messing with your eye, the development of a cataract is inevitable. Aargh!) Anyway, I suspect radio stations are careful to avoid any April Fool's joke that makes people go out and do something they're better off avoiding. In the case of NPR and the gag I mentioned, there was no way for the listener to actually follow through. You make an interesting point, though.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-42478826208863245792012-01-06T21:12:50.339-08:002012-01-06T21:12:50.339-08:00Funny stuff!

I love that all radio stations seem to get carte blanche to pull off the biggest April Fool's jokes they can conceive of - and no one ever seems to get too upset, as usually happens these days - you would expect someone to start a class action lawsuit or call for the DJ to be fired. Maybe they don't because no one wants to publicly admit they fell for one...congrats on the surgery - thrilled it went well for you!Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-59265866675113827662011-04-04T11:52:13.891-07:002011-04-04T11:52:13.891-07:00You're right, X: The Man With X-Rays is a real...You're right, X: The Man With X-Rays is a real classic. Too bad that the shocker ending Tarantino described as the one Roger wanted -- in which Milland's character plucks out his eyes but discovers he can still see -- was nixed by the good folks at AIP.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15515783219367479399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070623657970000135.post-4893684210735606712011-04-03T19:25:31.135-07:002011-04-03T19:25:31.135-07:00Nice to hear your surgery went well, Beverly.

It didn't really bother me outside of a couple instances where I had to take a couple seconds to re-adjust my vision. <br /><br />In regards to the horror script potential, I see a possible remake/re-imagining of Corman's great Ray Milland Sci Fi classic, X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES (1963)!venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.com
