Just woke up to finish watching an episode of "Fairly Oddparents" with The Duke.
Little Timmy picks up a small glass object off of Mom's Hope Chest. He asks Dad, "What's this?"
Dad mindlessly replies, "That's my Box of Dreams."
Timmy starts to examine it, and the Box slips out of his hands, crashing to the floor.
"Sorry."
"Oh, that's ok," says Dad. "My dreams were shattered years ago."
"How long ago was that??"
Dad looks down at his son and asks, "How old are you?"
That night Timmy starts to read a book, which he barely finishes the first chapter of before he's sound asleep. What he's just read stirs a riveting, adventurous dream, which makes up the plot of the episode. Timmy ends up saving the day...barely...and is asked after he wakes up by his guardian angel fairy friends if he's learned his lesson.
The kid says, "Yeah. Never read books," and promptly tosses the tome out of his bedroom window.
Sweet.....

What a trippy show, I tell ya. My daughter still tunes in once in a while, and I always tell her that it looks like the creators are all on drugs! Just like Ren and Stimpy - fun to watch while stoned.
But yeah, back in the olden days, cartoons were for selling merchandise and at least had some uplifting moral of the story. All I know about classical music came from Bugs Bunny!
Oh, totally. Everyone says those WB cartoons were violent but it was so fun to eventually be able to i.d. the music.
I have trouble commenting here. I hope this works. Yesterday I had lots of interesting things to say but it didn't post.
I commented on Soto's post on TLC just now and tried to use my name to link here but it didn't work, either. Looked like it was gonna work when I previewed it....I always have trouble from this work computer.
I can't figure why you can't comment - you shouldn't have to put in a spam blocker if you're logged into google mail or blogger. Have your computer remember the passwords so that as soon as you open a browser, you're already in. I also can't imagine why you'd want to comment at TLC - or link them back to us. Not sure I want anyone to know I'm still alive, since I burned the Low and Left bridge, and now it's become yet another Hillary hate site. Sick of the primary, and don't really give a shit who wins anymore.
OVERTURE!!
CURTAINS, LIGHTS!!

OVERTURE!!
CURTAINS, LIGHTS!!
THIS IS IT!!
WE'LL HIT THE HEIGHTS!!
AND OH WHAT HEIGHTS WE'LL HIT....
ON WITH THE SHOW, THIS IS IT!!!
All I know about theatre is from Bugs Bunny. All I know about when it's time to give up is from Roadrunner! That's me, a fookin' coyote, beating a dead horse with an Acme stick...
And it looks like blogger's been buggered for a couple days, Jeff. Maybe that's why you're having problems.
You're right, why the hell would I want anyone to know where we are right now? Especially from that site?
And I don't care anymore, either, about the primary thing.
I should start watching cartoon network more often, that shits funny!
Try adult swim, it's crazy!
