The title of your posting constitutes a death threat aimed at a specific
individual. As your posting is carried across state lines, it is a federal
offence. As these channels are monitored by F.B.I. agents jerking off
in front of computer terminals across the U.S., you should be careful about
what you say. It's all fun and games until your sysop gets questioned by
the Feds and shuts down your account while your home is simultaneously
raided.

P.S. You F.B.I. agents may now resume jerking off! :)

No, not yet.

There. NOW you can resume. That should help.

Gotta justify the intelligence budget, or they'd be out of work.

That's the lamest posting I've ever read by an F.B.I agent.

Don't give up the day job mate.

LAND OF THE LOST was my favorite Bulldada Sat. morn. cartoon show in...
1976? It had everything -- crappy stop-motion dinosaurs, hilarious sets
and actors, and a plotline involving baby Yetis and alien monsters called
SLEESTAKs, all of it NEARLY as dumb as HIGHLANDER 2. There must have been
only one Sleestak costume, because although they were a whole race, you
only saw one of them at a time.

And the weirdest thing of all is that it was REMADE as a NEW SHOW last
year! Hell, next it'll probably be a multi-zillion-buck MOVIE like THE
BRADY BUNCH!

When are they gonna remake MARS NEEDS WOMEN??

Actually, I distinctly remember several episodes where there
were at least three walking along and hissing, carrying their little
wrist rockets and bumping into walls.

However, I fully admit that I watched because I was waiting
for Holly to lose bits of clothing. Well, it happened quite often
in the movies I watched, and I was at that age where I stopped
thinking of Annette solely as a Mouseketeer.

Is it just me, or have children's cartoons actually become
*less* violent over the years? When I was a kid, we had the
usual Buggs Bunny, every episode of which involved some 'Toon
getting smashed, pulped, throttled, or blown up by another.
Then we had Superfriends. Yup, it's not Saturday Morning unless
Batman gets to Ka-Pow! a few villians and Superman hits a guy
so hard his head spins around three times. Of course, how
could I forget The Lost Saucer? Ruth Buzzy and Gomer Pyle
(I know he has a real name, but he just *looks* like a Gomer)
flying aboard the Great Tupperware Soundstage.

Which brings us to Captain Marvel. Somehow, yelling
"Shazam!" and having a bunch of dead Greek Gods suddenly
transform you into a geek in a red spandex suit isn't my idea
of a superhero, particularly when said superhero rides around in
a Winnebago when he could just be flying about and saving
hundreds on insurance.

Speed Racer? <Yawn!> Speed Buggy! Now *that* was
an original idea -- take Scooby Doo, replace that clapped-out
old Dodge van with a dune buggy, and off we go to fight
crime and win championship races after taking twenty minutes
to wander around somewhere. Space Ghost still has a cult
following, but with any luck the ATF will think they own weapons.

Based upon the evidence presented, modern Saturday morning
fare has not only failed to become more violent, but it hasn't
managed to improve in quality either. I'm not certain if our
present hysteria over violent cartoons is based upon some sort of
newfound awareness or, rather, selective memory of our youth.

Hands down, though, it's Warner Brothers cartoons that
are worth watching. Animaniacs and Tiny Toons are a pretty
fair imitation of the originals.

Peeve: The coyote doesn't hit the ground anymore. Hell,
half the time the dynamite doesn't actually blow up! What
asshole decided this is for children's benefit?

Peeve: I watch Buggs quite often. Whenever I can. I've
not seen Foghorn actually lift the Dog by the tail and whap his
ass with a 2x4 in at least a decade. Pity, too, as that was always
one of my favorite scenes.

Peeve: Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

!Peeve: saw one Warner Bros. cartoon where a dog has his tail
on fire. He's running along, dropping his ass and doing the famous
Canine Butt-Scoot routine, when he suddenly stops, looks at the
audience, and says, "I better stop this -- I'm beginning to like it!"
I guess the censor was dozing off that day.

I myself was always under the impression that the Banana Slpits were on
drugs. Why he hell else would the keep falling down all the time? THey
were animals who smoked pot, I'm telling you. I think that the plot of
the movie should involve Fleigel's decision to clean up his lifestyle, go
into rehab where he meets Drew Barrymore. His drug counselor could be
Michael McKean because he's always involved i n these projects, for some
reason. Fliegel's decision causes turmoil in the Clubhouse. The drama
that could ensue....

And notice the uncanny resemblance of the name SLEESTAK to the word SLACK?
I find it most illuminating that you would awaken this long-dormant meme
in my greyish matter. I had totally written off that memory, as it had
no associated slack (I did watch it when I was a youngster, yet hadn't been
smitten with the Stark Fist as of yet). I especially liked the Control
Pyramids, with the rainbow of fruit color crystals in them, that controlled
the whole damn planet, down to the weather. Where did those go? Gee, might
the CON have them in their sole possession?

Does anybody remember the Thunderbirds? the terrible pink sabotage cartoon
to prime us for watching james bond later in life? Several months ago I
came across it on the USA network and I havent been the same since, I
always had wonderful memories of watching it on showtime you know those
funny looking wooden dolls with the huge heads? Well I sat down for an
afternoon of slack enjoyment from the past and it was the most incredibly
fucking boring thing I had ever seen in my life I might as well have
"stuck my hand in a blender" 15 straight minutes of them all loaded up on
a plane going under bridge after bridge after bridge after bridge after
bridge switch channels (5 min later) after bridge after bridge after
bridge after bridge after bridge they finally landed and their lame excuse
for not being able to land was that the girl flying was too weak to push
the throttle back. I was gravely dissappointed. I might as well be talking
to my parents or hitting my pink prairie squid like brother with
anti-reaganomics chants. So I did the only thing I could do, I went to my
room and cried. Then I listened to the latest Thinking Fellars and felt
much better. If anyone else has had this terrible experience please feel
free to write.

I feel so, so, cheap to be entertained like that so easily.
