After swearing that I’d never do it again, I fell off the wagon tonight.

Dear lord, will this madness ever stop?

I couldn’t help myself. It just happened.

We were flicking through the high-def channels and I wound up on UNC-TV, the state’s PBS system. And they were doing their annual “Festival” pledge drive. The moment I saw that 800 number, my lips quivered and my hands started shaking.

Lisa couldn’t stop me. I ran to the phone, and I… did it.

After all these years, I still can’t stop doing it.

I picked up the phone and dialed the toll-free number. A nice lady answered and asked would I like to make a pledge to support public broadcasting. I told her “yes”.

Then I told her that I would like to pledge $10,000…

…but only if PBS brought back the old Doctor Who reruns.

Then I hung up.

This has been going on FOR ELEVEN YEARS NOW! Somebody please, make it stop make it stop make it stop!!
