Why I Love the Science Channel

Perhaps it's because I was preoccupied with moving halfway across the country; maybe it was the malcontented self-absorption that comes with having a disgusting cold/flu/bronchitis misery; possibly it's because we were without cable TV for some time: for some reason I did not know that Top Gear episodes were nonchalantly being shown on the Science Channel.

WTF?

Here I've been watching pirated videos all this time, when proper full-screen episodes are quietly running on my TV?

They are out of order. No matter! I watched Season 5, Episode 2, wherein Clarkson in the Lotus Exige nearly outfoxes an Apache helicopter and the Stig inaugurates the speed board with the Exige,driving the Bowler Wildcat ultimate off-road supercar encourages the Hamster to declare that he is, "a driving god", James May pooh-poohs the Maserati Quattroporte, and much more petrolhead fun.

The Sci Channel schedules shows a new episode on the 25th. I am ecstatic. Now, to purchase a DVD recorder...
