I hope this isn't a new pattern.

It used to seem that everytime RTO left me here when he went to drill that PBS decided to have a fundraising weekend, which really annoyed me because watching the shows on there was part of our normal Saturday evening.

(on phone)
RTO: How are you doing?
MK: raaaaaarrrrrr!!!!! how do they know you're out of town?
RTO: huh? who?
MK: PBS, they're asking for money again.
RTO: Bwah ha ha ha haaaaaa.

so, no telethon this evening, hopefully the phone won't go out everytime he leaves town. if it happens next month i'm going to have to beat someone.
