Ted Baxter

I have a fantasy that one day I could somehow fuck up Don Shelby’s day. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because he reminds me of a less charming version of Ted Baxter from the Mary Tyler Moore show. Sometimes I dream that I could stand in the window behind him while he presents the evening news holding a poster of Ted Baxter, but I noticed they have security for that sort of thing.

I was joking with a friend the other day and told her that if I couldn’t hold up the Ted Baxter poster, I was going to just stand in the window the entire length of the show and wave non stop while I called all my friends to let them know I was on the TV! "I’m gonna do it," I said. "I’m gonna wave maniacally and grin like a shit eating jackass for the entire newscast."

Then I turned on the news tonight and low and behold, there’s already about 20 fucktards doing exactly that, minus the irony. I hope that really pisses Don Shelby off.

Cool! I hope I don't let my inevitable world domination go to my head.

It's the power of the cleave.

Dude, I suck.

I don't have a clue who Shelby or Baxter are.

It's ok, Valyna. It's a Minnesota thing. Shelby is a local news anchor and Ted Baxter is a ficticious news anchor from the Mary Tyler Moore show.
