Yeah, my beloved husband commented yesterday "you know, the end of the
Millennium only comes once a year... wait a minute! That's not what I
meant!..."

Well I suppose he figures thay had a *major* party the year Christ
was born ... and maybe they dropped a burning ball of hay or something.
But everyone just stayed home during the year 1000 because they didn't
have anything
round to drop out of the sky.

Peter Jennings was loopy way before midnight. When that magician?
performance artist? pulled the thread out of his belly, I though the
reserved Mr. J was going to lose it.

Boy, they must be damn good at it too. How many million
a year do this schmucks get for reading stuff that is largely
copied from the press services they subscribe to.
I also love it when they claim they write their own copy. In truth
they take wire copy and just modify a few words here and there.
You can listen to two broadcasts and hear almost the same
words from two talking heads.

I just loved the ep. of the Tick where the reporters
monitoring the cross-country whale jog were named Sally Vacuous and
Brian Pinhead(pronounced pin-eed).

Don't tell me you've never seen "The Tick"! It's only
the greatest super-hero cartoon ever made! It was
originally on Fox Saturday mornings, but now they
rerun it here on Comedy Central.

What, you know naught of The Tick? Big Blue Engine of Justice and
NonSequeteurs? Large Arachnid of Doom whose battle cry is "Spooooooooon!"?
Oh my.

Nope. Never heard of it. My 'toon super hero
days are long past.

One should never outgrow heroes of the absurd.

"The Tick" is actually a parody of the super-hero genre.
It started as a comic book (which is also hysterical)
and became a cartoon for a while. I don't know if any
channels show it up there, but you would enjoy it.

I am SO ashamed that a fellow Maritimer doesn't know who the Mighty Tick
is! Hey, I'm 32 and my SuperHero of choice is the TICK! Last year, funny
enough, Canada's artsy fartysy cable channel BRAVO played Tick cartoons.
Appearently someone saw the brilliance of the show. I CURSE fox for
cancelling the Tick. FUCKING FOX! FUCK FUCKIN' FOX! THE FUCKERS!!!
That's all I can say in this state... SPOOOOOOOON !!!

Not to defend Fox or anything, but "The Tick" never really belonged on
Saturday mornings. On the other hand, it would probably do really well
as a lead-in or follow-up to "South Park."
