permit 1247 basic black great fuzz for a buzz it doesnt come easy to a boob- tubeophobe like your truly but i have a confession to make i miss keith morrison you remember keith morrison blondehaired jutjawed blue- eyed talking head who cohostedv the ctv newsmagazine with valerie pringle for many a morn keith was a canadian icon you could rise any weekday morning shamble across the living room with your pyjamas dropping scratching your belly stifling a massive yawn punch the remote and there would be keith looking like he was just airdropped out of the centrefold of gentlemans quarterly spine people like the way he handled an interview others did nt for me his journalistic skills were irrelevant v fascinated me the way a cobra bewitches a ground spar row i didnt even hear the words tumbling out of his mouth i was watching his hair keith had a major case oflarge hair great ocean breakers of the stuff arching over his brow sweeping down behind his ears swirling and roiling around the sides of his head he made elvis look like a marine rookie he made fabio look like an upended floor mop with a bad case of the mange i doubt there was a man this side of samson who had as seri ous an outbreak of large hair as did keith morrison but it didnt save his job last spring keith and his pompadour were unceremoniously bumped by some ctv bureaucrat with a brushcut til bet i have a vested interest when it comes to hair namely i dont have much of it myself oh ive got hair on my arms and hair on my chest and hair in all the usual bodily thickets and underbrushy spots except on top its one giant pink runway for mosquitoes up there which you might think would make me a mansbridge fan peter mansbridge is the guy who does on cbc television what keith morrison used to do on ctv television but petes pate isnt all that far behind mine a few years ago peter started going sparse all the kings horses and all the kings men plus every cosmetic magician in the cbc makeup department were not able to arrest the fall out nowadays a lot of folks tune into the 10 oclock news just to count the strands mansbridge to his credit has riot fallen back on that lament of crutches for the hair impaired the toupee he just sits there reading every night pink and proud and why not ifs obvious he has nothing to hide he is an inspiration to follically challenged men every where a beacon a here of the high forehead but keith morrison ah keith was the god of large hahul often wonder where he is now and whether he can still hold his head up without a neck brace on the other hand a recent news story makes me think maybe keith go out of the tv news business just in time it seems a tv newsreporter by the name of mychal limric was doing a story on the science of beekeeping he was doing a standup about 15 metres from a working hive it turns out the bees were attracted to the tv hair gel mychal used on his onscreen coiffure moral of the story im not quite sure but keith morri son if youre reading this a word of advice dont take any part- time work in an apiary arthur black
