TV will actually replace your friends now
Long live the new flesh!

Aw, that's disappointing to hear. We're really not such a bad bunch of guys, once you get to know us.

Australia
30 Years of Electricity

JammerJim, you'd better get cracking on that Clavin and Hobbes movie before John Ratzenberger croaks.

I can't wait
For the remake with Edward James Olmos as Ben.

Solving Nashville's problem is easy: change the mascot from a sabretooth tiger to the actual Predator. Have Sonny Landham and Carl Weathers drop the puck on opening night, and celebrate every goal scored with "COME ON! DO IT! I'M HEAH, KILL ME NOW!"

Cubs fan reporting in to say that humiliation and painful loss does indeed get kind of boring after a while.

And even Nick at Nite stopped showing it years ago, along with anything else made before 1989, seemingly. "Cheers" is apparently too old for Nick at Nite now. Think about that for a minute.

B: Horrible straight-to-video erotic thriller?
C: Horrible straight-to-video zombie movie?

Is his mask supposed to be a secret map of Washington DC's catacombs or something?

I remember minor radio personality Mancow Muller tracking the same general evolutionary path.
