I need a bookcase.

[MickintheHam]

I can’t appear on TV without one. You have to have a beautiful bookcase for a suitable backdrop. I have one in the spare bedroom that is home to books I can’t part with. It has an academic trophy I earned at Georgia Tech and my Kentucky Colonel certificate. But it pales in comparison to what I see on tv.

The people on TV reporting from their homes have impressive backdrops. They ALL have floor to ceiling wall bookcases. The ESPN guys have every sports book ever written. And of course the books they have written have a prominent place.

But, For me to appear on TV, I need some books to make me look smart. I don’t have a book on Churchill. I don’t have the first book on philosophy. I do however, still have my Accounting 201 text book and A book on Monet’s years at Giverny. But, I don’t have a collection of books that would make me appear really intelligent.

My favorite remote broadcast is our local news anchor reporting from home. At best you could classify her as a blonde bubble head. But after seeing her bookcase backdrop on the morning news, I know she is really smart. She has a gorgeous designer bookcase. Among her beautiful collection of books, she has turquoise plates and pink glass flowers. But, the most impressive thing is she has biographies of every US President from Wilson to Obama. They are arranged in chronological order. Very impressive. I wonder if I should send her my copy of “The Art of the Deal.” to complete the sequence. I feel inadequate when I see her on tv as I only have books on four Presidents: Clinton, Lincoln, Trump and Davis.

I’ve looked around the house and I don’t have anyplace to set up a camera. I do have a barrel lid from Woodford Reserve on my bar wall I could use, but what would that say about me? Does anyone here have a beautiful bookcase that shows how intelligent you are for the world to see?

Get a big green cloth and hang it on a wall. You can then have your pick of impressive backdrops.

Darrell, where’s the memorabilia? All the news green screened backgrounds have some kind of memorabilia in them.

[MickintheHam]

Any trophies Darrell? North Shelby County Bowling League?

Zoom let me down!

There ought to be a way to personalize these that way... Or I guess I could find somebody's real bookcase with a real trophy instead.

If I remember, I'll post a couple of my favorites I've used so far.

I need something classy like the Ch 42 info babe. I want to look cool and make folks think I live on my trust fund. I don’t want them to think I really work.

We have much worse offices on our campus. I don't know why we allow it.

You're welcome to use a shot of my living room.

I'm impressed! I might need a shot from your living room. On a side note I did convert my living room to a bar. Best decision I've made in 5 years.

If you were a governor you would need a sign language person off to the side. Apparently ckosed caption does not work on the TV of the deaf when governors speak.....or maybe they need it for all the deaf reporters in the room.

PS: Mick, books wont make you look smart. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Anybody see the one of the married Spanish news anchor who was doing a remote and in the background his half naked girlfiend walked by? He has since apologized to his other girlfriend

ha ha. that's about what I did. Moved out everything but the couch and chair. Brought in a bar and barstools. Mounted a tv and Hung my Keeneland prints on the walls. Behind the bar I mounted my Woodford Reserve Barrel lid and eagan mirror.
It's now a nice comfortable room. I hardly use the den any more even though it has the big TV.

I’s like a bookcase wall poster. Would have to be somebody else’s books not mine.

All your books are all magazines...with centerfolds
