    Up on the high wire,

    Don’t do this during

    An ice storm, electrical pire,

    Would kill worse than mire,

    In a electrical shocker.

    My point is a deadly killer.

    This was the title of a 7-page booklet published by CBS. “CBS wanted to make it very clear that the eight-minute radio broadcast of President Roosevelt on March 4th 1933 [the “All we have to fear is fear itself” speech] was a significant and exceptional use of the new medium. CBS points out that “Roosevelt did advertising’s most significant job…advertising ’courage” and “conquered despair”, and that those eight minutes over the radio “added cash value of the nation….commodity markets pulsated, dollars rose around the world, demand for department store credit rose 40 percent”. In short, this was an early recognition of the extreme value of immediate access to a national population.”

    Point, counter-point. What’s the score. Set, match, love lost. how can we get some more? Everybody’s missing something, driving hard to score. Missing 411, get lost, get found, on a telephone pole or a milk carton. Tweet to make pointless points and lose your soul while gaining likes. Drop out, tune in, wait… what was the point?

    …if I told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times if you don’t put your points away after playing with them that you’ll lose them…

    …there is no point in today’s Frog Applause…

    …it was all made using body doubles and a green screen…

    … Reddy kilowatt for the new Olaf inspired generation…

    …I see the Phoo bird dropped by…

    …an electric car ttoon…

    …surprise, surprise, surprise…

    …that’s not my point, either…

    …Cedar Point?…

    ..you’ve never been to Cedar Point?…

    Yeah, I don’t Cedar Point. We’re still trying to distribute the point. Don’t get me started.

    Would that point be the loose eyeball? Or is it the line she’s walking on?

    I remember well the young fellow I knew at school who shook, or jiggled, his leg, and said he did it because he lacked the outlet of a girl to whom to show affection. (That wasn’t exactly how he expressed it, however.)

    “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” painted from 1884 to 1886 by Georges Seurat is a pointillism masterpiece … can you imagine what he could do with Cedar Point …?

    The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on.

    It does not point, because that would be pointless (ironic, isn’t it?).

    A pop-eyed (one has popped out) high-wire artiste is truly electrifying! He works with no net! On a crossing-from-building-to-building Challenge, sadly, he missed his endpoint.

    SPLAT! Point made.
