BTW, I just have to clarify:
My wife absolutely *loves* FLCL, and agrees with my sentiment entirely:
This review accurately captures the feel of the show.

The really funny thing about FLCL is how all the American otaku
wackjobs tried to dissect and analyze the show like it was another
Evangelion, even after Anno et al said it was just a bit of fun.

But listening to them is half the fun. Unless you can trick someone into
trying to analyze Excel Saga, which would be even more entertaining.

Unless "FLCL" is some sort of crazy whackjob kind of acronym for
"Banzai", I have no idea what you're going on about. But I liked Ben's
play, until the 3rd act when Kissinger elopes with Fred Astaire. I've
always thought Kissinger was more of a Burt Reynolds man. But otherwise
it was PURE GENIUS.

I'll give it a go! The dolphin can get a bit annoying, but the way you
can type numbers into the boxes and tell it to add them up, or even
multiply them is very handy. Some people even use it for drawing
graphs, but you shouldn't use it for writing letters or doing mail
merges because that's not what it's designed for. Be careful of macro
viruses however, because it's likely that you could lose massive
control if you get infected with one of these.
