    ...wow, you guys had SEVEN stations?...we seldom had more than 2 or 3...and that was only because we put tin foil on the rabbit ears.

    Sorry Ron, I forgot that you didn't want the rest of the board to know how old you were. So everyone, I was only kidding, Ron is only in his.....his.....30s...Y E A HHHHH, that's the ticket.

    I guess they have to fill up all these channels with whatever shit they can make up. I just can't believe that people actually watch 1/2 this shit.

    ...Ha!...remember when Looney tunes and cartoons like them were condemned as being "too violent" because shrinks decided that they were harmful to kids because exposure to these cartoons would in turn make the children violent.
    ...so they replaced Foghorn Leghorn, Bugs Bunny, Wyle. E. Coyote, et al with programs like Barney and The Smurfs.



    ...brilliant.

    ...hell, I never could figure out why he kept chasing the Roadrunner...didn't seem like there was much meat on that skinny assed bird anyway...if the Coyote was able to by all that stuff from the ACME company, why didn't he just buy a side of beef.

    ...never could figure out why Popeye and Brutus kept beating shit out of each because of that damned Olive Oyle...she was a skinny bitch with no tits and a voice that would drive you up the wall...yet still Brutus and Popeye destroyed each other over this woman.

    Yeah always a smart move when you exchange bugs bunny for violent video games.
