The real question is why wouldn't you ask that here.

They should revert back to black and white. It will save on bandwidth.
I love Lucy
I watched I Dream of Jennie almost every night for a year to fall asleep.
I love master's car.
The studio considered Jeenie's original costume too risque.
They altered it to cover up her belly button.
I was wondering who this "Jennie" was.
subsequent marathonus!
I looked it up and we are all wrong. It was: I Dream Of Jeannie.
Few remember it was a cheap knock off of the movie "The Brass Bottle".
Burl Ives was the Genie. Thank your stars they covered up his belly button.
Barbara Eden was in the movie but She played the part of Tony Randall's straight laced girl friend. Not alas a Genie.
But in the TV series, she was the Jeanuine item.
I'm so glad I left you with that misspelling to have such phun with...

Why are we reminiscing about old TV?, most of it was just as bad as New TV apart from cartoons, cartoons used to be better (apart from Cartoon films, damn there is always an exception!!!).
I seem to remember that the "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" cartoon was pretty good...so it didn't last long.
Howdy Doody, Tom Terrific. George of the Jungle, Felix the Cat (Lame.), Super Chicken, Touche Turtle. (You knew the job was dangerous when you took it Fred.), Flash Gordon (Not the cartoon). Superman (George Reeves) Sky King, Rocket man, Roy Rogers, Daniel Boone (Fess Parker), Abbot and Costello movies, Laural and Hardy, Tons of westerns.
Random memory time?
My sister was into Zoom and the Electric Company (I think that was the name).
Electric Company came out of Manhattan - from the same place Sesame Street came from (CTW - Children's Television Workshop). Spent my childhood in NYC.
Zoom was a couple of years later and from PBS station WGBH - a Boston production.
My first job was mixing audio in a public access TV station in 1978. We had equipment where you would actually splice the video tape - cut and re-connect physically. Marked with a yellow crayon as you slowly hand spun it around the helical head of the video pickup.
Memories...
Old farts ;)
My first grade teacher would show us Zoom and the Electric Company whenever she wanted to shut us up for a half hour or so. So we watched a lot of episodes...Quote:

My old band used to do a rock version of the sound track to Hong Kong Phooey. It's was Henrific!
We also did the Banana Splits.
Hong Kong Phooey, the number 1 super guy!
Hong Kong Phooey, faster than the human eye
I didn't see many of those.
For shame, Shaggy, you broke the lyrical chain. You've got no style. No groovy style. And I bet your car stops.
Phooey on that hooey.
I didn't know the lyrics, so I headed off in a different direction. Not a better direction, or even a very directed direction, but a different one.
The Airing Of Grievances went a bit too far this year...
Woman Charged with Attempted Murder after Beating Husband with ‘Festivus Pole’
Well, the holidays CAN be a bit stressful.
Merry Christmas y'all, I probably won't be on until Monday or so.
Merry Christmas, all y'all. I'll be on and off throughout. Lots of eating to be done, though.
Post race seems like the best place - Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas.

I'll be here at work until 2:00pm or so.
Peace on Earth and good will to geeks everywhere.
Off to my wife's 80 year old parents house for all those seven fishes Italians eat.
I do not eat seafood.
:(
I'm sure our resident fish biologist has something to add to this :)
I will be working tomorrow. Yay
Nothing useful, so go, with the grace of cod!Quote:

Anyone know of a moderator that could propose that?
It could be :tree:
No, just disconnected. I think your data was way off-base. Maybe everyone is just trying to collate after the Christmas holiday?Quote:

Darn. Time for DEQ (Again.) Wish I was Skiing.
Department of Environmental Quality? (that's what it would be to me)
Depressed Elf Quantifying? (that seems appropriate at this time of year)
Derogatory Effusive Quatrain?
Dangerously Evil Que-tips?
Yeah. I live on the border of the zone where DEQ is required.
If I lived a couple of streets over I would not have to get my car checked at all. It's not that big a deal except I have to take time off work to get it done.
I also have take my car to a mechanic and get the "Check Engine Light" reset so DEQ will run their tests.
It passes every-time, but they will turn me away if it is on.
Its been on since I bought the car. The diagnostics say there is an issue with the catalytic converter, but the car runs clean anyway. Meh!
I had a friend who's catalytic converter went out. It got so bad that he could not go over the threshold from his driveway to his garage.
Okay the light is out.
He should try some Metamucil. I hear that works on blockages.
Black tape works wonders, doesn't it?Quote:

IF I am not mistaken that is due to the trapping of exhaust gases in the engine.Quote:

I submitted my first Coding Contest entry. I hope I win.
I am a never ending source of emissions.Quote:
