PBS, Bitches

So I just went down to the pub to get some pizza and they were playing a bunch of early 90's club music, and a bunch of people were dancing, and I suddenly got very, very nostalgic for that period of my life. Most of you who read this were gone from my life during those years, but I was a dedicated club-rat, athe the time when clubs were all Night at the Roxbury style....




?!!


Sorry to do that to you, guys... here's the right one.









Oops, no, that's not it... Maybe this one:




Yep, that's the one!



Actually, I am really amazed at how many variations of the Roxbury dance appear on youtube; I've been distracted for like an hour looking at all the clips, like this one:



and this one:



Boy, I did love to dance.

It was one of the more pleasurable periods in my life, and I just kind of phased into a heavy-duty euphoric recall while I was there. Then I got my pizza, walked back to my room, ate my pizza, watched a Law and Order, and then flipped to PBS, where a most interesting show was on.
It's called History Detectives. It's really a very well-crafted program. Click here to read a transcript of the show, or better yet, find the show on a bittorent site... or if you're too lazy, click here for a short synopsis.

PBS, bitches.

I still love to dance... but I married a non-dancer. It sucks not being able to dance.

I don't quite get the "PBS Bitches" reference. But, I opted for the lazy synopsis... maybe if I were more ambitious, I would have encountered the elusive answer.

The comma is what makes it make sense. The PBS bitches are the ones who stop programming three times a year to ask for money. PBS, bitches, is, like, an invective or something.
