My 15 minutes of fame

Post by 91AWDAstro »

Well for those of you in Canada that get the discovery channel, they are going to be showing the episode of Really Big Things I was in. :canuk:
I look like an ant compared to the host of the show.

It will air Sunday Sept. 21st at 4:00 PM EST

Episode is called skyscrapper cranes.

The perfect reason to get that 52'' plasma I've had my eye on. I hoped you waved so we can pick you out. \:D/

I get the discovery channel all the way down here. Hopefully the schedule is the same, that's this Sunday. Should I just look for the crazed astrosafari owner look, or do you have identifying tatoos or scars I should look for? :poke:
No seriously, how will I know when you are one?

IIRC it should be pretty easy. He is the really really really short guy standing beside the really really tall / built guy. Think peter sized guy just with an intelligent look on his face..... :muhaha: :muhaha:

:smurf: Now that the cat is out of the bag, I don't want ol Petey getting jelous.

Also the episode is on three topics, first is on steam power, second is on printing the USA Today. The USA Today is the one I'm in.

Here's a little peak...

nah, I looked for it in the guide so I could record it, but apparently we don't get that show down here. Don't know why, we really like big things down here in Texas. A shame it is. If you've got an mpeg of it, you could just load it up on photobucket.
