Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Date: 09 Nov 07 - 03:35 PM We LOVED Astro Boy when we were kids. A few months ago I was at a second hand store and saw a 5-disc set of Astro Boy DVD's for something like $15. My boys (ages 9 and 12) now LOVE Astro Boy (especially the 9 year old). Some of the names are different, the guy we know as Dr. Elephun (he has a very large proboscis) is now Dr. O'Shay. It is also in color, the original was b/w. I wonder if the plots are at all the same, I really don't remember them from the 60's. It certainly has the same feel, this little robot fighting evil and injustice, always triumphing even when his adversary is 10 times his size. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 13 Nov 07 - 11:30 PM I remember watching "Destination Moon" three times in the same week back when I was younger. But I wasn't spaced out, just moonstruck. To put it in other words, I found nothing cheesy (green or otherwise)about the moon. I wonder if Shane ever howls at the moon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 07 - 01:15 PM We, like George Bush, are determined to reach our objective! |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 14 Nov 07 - 03:46 PM Like George Bush, you say? I suddenly have qualms. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 14 Nov 07 - 04:00 PM When I was in college I kept getting slapped for trying to reach my objective. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk Date: 14 Nov 07 - 06:40 PM Well, actually, I think our chances of reaching our objective are slightly better than George Bush's. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Date: 15 Nov 07 - 10:04 AM I have to agree, LH. 85 billion seems somehow less formidable when viewed in that light. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 15 Nov 07 - 11:53 AM Should we petition George Dubya to instigate an investigation of Mudcat? After all, there could be weapons of math destruction in this thread. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk Date: 15 Nov 07 - 01:03 PM There's a lot of subversive stuff happening here, no doubt about it. I'm surprised Homeland Security has not taken stern measures by now. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Date: 16 Nov 07 - 04:43 PM But one of the Shanes is a member of the RCMP. W would be completely flummoxed by that, not that anyone could tell the difference. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 17 Nov 07 - 11:44 AM W is a member of the RCMP, or at least thinks he is. He's been seen around the White House playing Dudley Do-Right, with his wife as Nell and Cheney as the horse. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 18 Nov 07 - 09:02 AM For Gawd's sake, don't let W have a taser; things could get even more tragic than they are now. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 18 Nov 07 - 11:09 AM He has been provided with a genuine Ronnie Ray Gun that not only shoots sparks when you pull the trigger, but lights up if he put the batteries in correctly. |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 29 Nov 07 - 10:14 AM Perdoname. No hablo espanol. Est-ce que Shane sait parler français? |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk Date: 29 Nov 07 - 11:22 AM Shane cannot parlay la fronsay to save his life. He just knows a couple of useful ephithets and phrases in French. I shan't repeat them here. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 29 Nov 07 - 06:56 PM Good. I can call "Shane" things in languages other than English, parce-que il est un gross cochon, un batarde de l'eau premier, vraiment, une tete-du-merde. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 29 Nov 07 - 07:01 PM No, wait. Come to think of it I can just use English. The boy, is, after all, both innumerate and distant from bibliophilia. Were a tome to somehow reach his hands I doubt that he could perceive the value therein. A true bibliophobic is rare, but I think we have a rarity here. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Date: 30 Nov 07 - 09:46 AM I would doubt that Shane has a lot of books lying around. Probably has a stash of magazines under the mattress though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 30 Nov 07 - 12:14 PM He's also probably inilluminate. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 30 Nov 07 - 12:15 PM Does the RCMP and Dubya know about this undercover reading material? Poor Shane! I wouldn't want him tasered or be a victim of a surge. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Little Hawk Date: 30 Nov 07 - 12:18 PM Tasering of a person with that much alcohol in the blood is quite hazardous. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 01 Dec 07 - 11:24 AM First -- and only -- thing "Shane" ever read was the Simpson's catalogue that was hangin' in the outhouse. He got so excited by the pictures of women's underwear that he figgered no book could ever be better. For many years he didn't know that there was actually skin under those pictures of women in their long woolies and the first time he saw a woman in a bikini he was so surprised he fainted dead way, spilling his beer on the way down (and it was the last one). After he came to, all he could say for weeks was "Ah...gaaa...ah!" Finally, brother Don slapped him upside the head with a 2x6 and sort of "rebooted" ol' "Shane." |

Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: topical tom Date: 11 Dec 07 - 11:05 PM IWTATBM: Shane doesn't understand. I think he's barking up the wrong tree and thereby hangs a tail...Translation, please? After all, this gives us pause. |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: Rapparee Date: 12 Dec 07 - 09:37 AM It's Dutch, and IWTATBM is actually a secret agent for the manatees of the Dutch East Indies, sent to spy out the location of "Shane" so that they can assassinate him with a poisoned Tim Horton's donut (as if you could tell the difference between poisoned and regular). |
Subject: RE: BS: Will this thread reach 85 billion posts? From: KB in Iowa Date: 12 Dec 07 - 04:23 PM My kid is a member of the "Save the Manatees" club. We send them money and they send us a brochure and a form asking for more money. |
