My friend Vic would sometimes spend the night in the lounge, staying up all night watching TV.
One night I hung out in the lobby and found that Vic wasn't staying up all night waiting for the sun to rise. He was waiting for something else. Something that happened at 5:00 a.m.
A show.
A show that was the brain-child of a genius, Reverend Robert Tilton.
The name of the show was "Success in Life".
Success In Life was a "How To..." show, and, as the name implies, Reverend Tilton told people how to be successful in life.You didn't have to watch the show more than once to figure out how to be successful in life.
You really didn't need to watch the show for five minutes to learn how to be successful in life.
All you really had to do to be successful in life was send Reverend Tilton money.
People would mail in "prayer requests" with the money. At the end of the show, Tilton would have his arms full of prayer requests and would start acting crazy and reading out the requests on the air, really fast. During the last few seconds of the show he still had his arms full. Not wanting the requests to be unanswered, Tilton would throw the requests to the ground and roll all over them, somehow needing only to touch each request to pray for it.
Vic would be doubled over with laughter pointing at the screen.
Here is a video Mocking A Genius(link). It is funny.

Seed,
thanks for the flashback. the boss just walked by and asked why i was laughing at my computer. That show was always a fun way to pass the time. that fake preacher was such a bastard. Were you there when a drunken john bolton joined me in the fun and threw his shoes and a cooler at the reverend's TV image? That was near the week that marked "the beginning of the end" at Teague.
