I just found out that Martin Scorsese’s made-for-cable documentary on the life of George Harrison is set to air in two parts, on October 5th and 6th. That gives me approximately 6 weeks to make a friend with HBO.
If you have HBO, and a comfortable couch, and can keep your mouth shut for a few hours at a time, please let me know. You may be eligible for a new a friend.

You know I have every channel. I love television.
Or someone willing to lend you their HBO Go username and password. That is, assuming HBO pushes the Harrison show that way after it airs. I have neither the subscription or the u/p, but really thought HBO Go would’ve been great for my need to watch Game of Thrones.
On a Harrison-related note, I only last week learns the GH financed Python’s Life of Brian. Was completely unaware. Netflix Instant has a great, rather recent six part MP documentary available, btw. Highly recommend to anyone who has any–any–love for Monty Python.
I might have a friend with HBO…a certain Mr. Torrent…first name Bit…wink, nudge.
So…
Can I be your friend if you find a friend? I’ll bring beer or whuteva–
There’s also this:

…perhaps I/(we?) need to consider cable?
Before you give Harrison too much credit for Life of Brian and Time Bandits, you should consider that he also gave the world Shanghai Surprise with Madonna.
And, while I loved the man, he looked a little too much like Doug Henning to me.
In my bar, I’d definitely want an animatronic Doug Henning sitting next to my robotic Anton LaVey.
I’m surprised, Mark — I didn’t know you liked the ukulele that much.
I’m praying Hbo Go is a test run for offering only-online access. Hbo is 90% of the reason we have cable. I’d pay twice as much directly to Hbo as I pay for Hbo if they’d drop their ridiculous exclusivity deal.
You could just wait for the DVD.
With Mark’s advanced age, he might not be around for the DVD. Hell, he might not even make it till October.
I’m going to search for a Doug Henning wax figure now.
Mark, visit your local Emergency Room waiting area, and watch free cable TV anytime you want; they’re usually open 24 hours. Although, HBO is a Pay Channel, and if you fall asleep you may awake with one less kidney.
Is that how you tricked your sister into the hospital – with the promise of HBO?
[For those of you who don’t know Kez, his sister was kind enough to give him a kidney a few years back. He’s a very lucky man, with a very cool sister, and I’m very grateful for her generosity.]
