Off Topic: Favourite Cartoon Comedy.

Either Cartoon Planet (you really have to see 'Brak's School Daze' and 'Learning to Talk Italian'), the first few episodes of Ren and Stimpy, or the first 4 or 5 seasons of the Simpsons.

Hey Coop! Guess what was on at 2:30 last night? Cartoon Planet! It'll be on the rest of this week, too. I was hoping they'd do Cooking With Brak where he makes the Pu Pu Pu Platter ("It's that extra Pu that makes it special"). I didn't get that, but they did sing "Hoodely Hoo", which was nice and ridiculously absurd. I don't know how to use the VCR; I've either gotta get one of the kids to show me, or I have to stay up late every night. Hell, maybe I'll do both.

So what channel is this Cartoon Planet on?

Cartoon Planet - 2:30 AM Cartoon Network. It's driving me nuts that I'm too stupid to figure out how to program my VCR. Guess I'll be staying up late. I'm gonna watch the lunar eclipse anyway, so what's 2 more hours?

Wasn't Rocky/Bullwinkle the best? Remember when they played football for Wassamatta U.?

I managed to tape it last night!!!! I taped 6 hours of other stuff in the process, had to stay up until 2:00, and had to leave the TV on all night because I can't figure out how to use the timer (did I mention that I'm a computer programmer? Shouldn't I be able to figure this out?), but it's worth it. If I can ever figure out how to make copies, I'll send them to you.

Oops, I was typing while you posted about how you can halfway tape. If you can't set the timer that only puts you at one level above us.

No, I can't believe you are a programmer. You must be VCR phobic. Is there therapy for that 'cause I have it too? lol

I hate to say it, but it seems to be more ineptitude than phobia. I did try to program the thing. Hell, I spent hours on it. Get this: I even got out the manual! My kids were amazed; they said they were gonna take a picture to prove that I'd actually read up on how to do something.

Rocky: "Look, Bullwinkle, a message in a bottle."

Bullwinkle: "Fan mail from some flounder?"
