California Village of Pine Mountain Breaks World Record For TV watching

Pine Mountain Club Does It Again!

That tiny mountain community - nestled in a pine covered valley –surrounded by the Los Padres national Forest – and majestically towered over by Mt. Pinos ” (70 miles north of LA)

Has done it again!

Just last month they broke a seven hundred year old record for the most alcohol consumed per capita of any village in the world. (previously held by the people of Gavalt – in northern Siberia ;

And now – they have shattered the record for the most number of hours spent watching television - formerly held since 1952 by the Eskimo village of Shitumaoutsky (which means “It’s to shitty to go out”) -where the average temperature is 48 below zero. (and where Sarah Palin was born - to a Virgin Inuit Eskimo)

Moishe Pinsky – President of The World Television Association – told us – when we caught up with him filling up at the Pine Mountain Club Gas Station:

“This is really an achievement for the folks of Pine Mountain! - The weather here is georgous, and you would think folks would be outside enjoying it in this beautiful environment? “

“I mean – the average peson in this community watched ninety eight hours (in an average week) of TV last year – and you gotta figure that the kids had to be way up over that:”

“I mean – these folks ain’t doin much except maybe workin a little and watchin TV !– And judging by the size of them and the kids iv’e seen around here so far -- moooo! – unk! unk! --soooeee! “

“I just filled up here at five bucks a gallon at this rip-off station – so maybe they can’t afford to go out anywhere - but jeez –I wonder if the kids even go to school?”

“I mean – five of them just came out of the video store –and they musta weighed over a ton all together - they looked like a small herd of Bison!”

I notice they have an expansive recreation area with a ballfield and basketball courts – but there ain’t a kid in sight?”

He went on; “Come to think of it –maybe with their record breaking alcohol consumption up here - the adults are too stewed to motivate the kids to do anything?”

“I saw a bunch of bikers coming out of the local bar and two of them were puking on their boots – maybe the locals are too terrified to leave their cabins?”

“ President Pipick concluded; “Well – anyway – I’m goin over to the Ceremony at the Pine Mountain Club Clubhouse – to present the award .”

“I wonder if anyone will show Up?”

“It’s kinda scary around here!”
