Not entirely true. I loved Potty Years and I'm single with no kids and no
significantly younger siblings. On the other hand, I heard from someone who
did have kids going through potty-training and he didn't like it because he
was afraid it would give his kid(s) ideas!

HUH??? I posted the original bit on the shirts, and was referring to the
T-shirts in the warner Bros. catalog that seem to be no longer available.

I have dizzy's "Pa-arty!", GoGo's "It's Been Surreal", and Monty's "Whaddya
Mean It's Taxable???" (All in adult XL)

is there any way to get one of the shirts you're referring to without finding
a WB store?  (Nearest one's like 1000 miles away or something like that)

Thanks for any info (if you want one of the TTA shirts from the catalog, heck
  give 'em a call, all they can say is "sorry, we're out of those")

  Just for the record, it's at least true from Disney-to-Warner Bros. Quoting
from COMICS SCENE magazine, #17, in an interview with Ken Boyer:

        "I've talked to people at Disney Television who've seen our
        episodes," Boyer says, "and they're so stunned that they said
        it's like a slap in the face. They're ashamed. Disney
        Television has been the leader in TV animation quality for years
        now, and we're so far surpassed them, they were stunned."
                :
            So, does Boyer expect TINY TOON ADVENTURES to inspire Disney
        and other studios to improve their work?
            "My challenge to them is, can they DO it? ... We're working
        faster than they are, way faster," Boyer asserts. "I know because
        I worked over there -- and I know people who still work over
        there -- how much time they're doing their stuff in. We don't
        have nearly the time to do boards, the scripts, the models or
        layouts. All of the pre-production that we do over here gets done
        in less time than they have."

  Note that the interview was done back in February of 1990. Who knows how
things have been since? (I'd transcribe the darn thing, but it's VERY large
-- anyone got an OCR?)

I think I make my "flames" pretty clear, and they are hardly caustic enough
to even be called a flame, IMO.  The only flames I can ever recall posting
to this group are my anal-retentive didactic corrections, and of course
the periodic Roger Randall Rabbit Whoever-He-Is followup.  And perhaps my
comments to Jeff Klein re: Morey Amsterdam and other topics.

I suppose, though, that one would need to follow this group for awhile to
fully understand the levels of discussion and the amount of friendship 
present in this newsgroup.  As one ought to do with any newsgroup.

Now let's get back to IMPORTANT topics, like what to say when your fiancee
says "I can't believe you're watching that movie AGAIN!!"

Sour patch kids are good, but have you ever heard of a candy called Super

candies I have ever tasted.  The bad news is: I don't know where to get them.
A friend of mine somtimes gets a box of bags when he goes home, but I'm not

Nowwwwww we're getting somewhere.
You're totally correct, of course;  except that I've never seen a skunk or
any mustelid exhibit revulsion at its own spray.  Most just clean themselves
casually after spraying, as necessary.

However ... Fifi is a toon skunk.  The way I see it, toon skunks are meant
to smell nearly all the time, if only because it's funny.  Aren't all animal
toons based on half-truths?  Do rabbits burrow with their ears?  You get the
idea.  And for goodness' sake, Fifi doesn't even look like a skunk.  Not only
is she purple, she's built like a squirrel (which always bugs me some).  So
I think it's fair to assume not everything that applies to *Mephitis* can be
applied to Fifi.  If Pepe smelled of spray of continuously, it's likely (I
didn't say certain) Fifi does, no?
Oh ... and real female skunks don't wear skirts.  :-}   :-}

...We love her for these flaws, don't we?  Sure....
