Perhaps I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds like you think ACME CABLE
material was a piece-together of completed-but-edited-out KACME material?
If you are saying this, then allow me to point out that KACME was a Wang
production and ACME CABLE a Tokyo, so the latter couldn't be KACME cuts.
I'm sure Kevin already realizes this, though, so just what are you trying
to say? :-)

Good to hear.  I had a backup weapon stored in a secret location in the U.P.
(that's Upper Peninsula for those not from the midwest).  It was a thing
of beauty indeed, capable of launching 6-8 inches of snow on any region,
any time of year.

Unfortunately, the fungus ate it.

	A great film, but I don't believe this is the reference.  In
"Galaxy Song" (from Part V: Live Organ Transplants, lyrics staring me
in the face from the CD booklet of "Monty Python Sings"), the only
reference to the sun is:

	That's orbiting at 19 miles a second,
	so it's reckoned,
	the sun that is the source of all our power

	The sun and you and me,
	and all the stars that we can see,
	are moving at a million miles a day...

This is the nature of comedy, or so I am told.

   I saw this today also.  I liked the part where they dig in the tunnel
and arrive in The Temple of Doom and Batman's cave.  The bit with the
eyes in the dark was also cool, although I was distracted while I watched.
Otherwise, the episode seemed pretty lame.
   I don't find rap in *any form* to be distasteful.  I actually think some
rap artists are very good (emphasis on "some").  However, any time I see
rap used in cartoons, sitcoms, advertisements, etc. I want to puke.  It
seems impossible for writers to use rap in these situations without making
it seem like a shameless stoop to appeal to rap fans.

  Obviously. I have nothing against Disney wanting to make a buck -- but if
they're going to act just as cold-blooded and ruthless as Sony, Paramount,
or Time/Warner, why do people (especially the swarms of Disney fans) treat
them differently? That's what bugs me.

  I dunno -- my company doesn't do that at all; I can start up my own job
on the side as long as there's no conflict of interest involved. Disney, on
the other hand, has been reported to offer employees the following: "Sign this
contract which gives us unlimited rights to any and all ideas you have while
employed by our firm, or we'll fire you".

Well, here's how I break it down:

"Alo-o-oha!" - TOkyo, definitely.  Nice lines, and watch those necks stretch!
"It's been surreal!" - Another Tokyo.

"Say goodnite, Babs" - dunno, not enough motion
"And that's a wrap" - dunno (not TMS, pose-to-pose is too clumsy)
"Parting is such sweet sorrow" - dunno       

"Let the show begin!" - don't think it's TMS, note eyes and "pillow-like"
			arms and hands - too clean for Wang
"Woof" - sniffing nose motion doesn't look like TMS
"ROOOAAR -meow?" - The eyes, again.  Don't know.

(I would say the last three are StarToons, but it's not like they left
 a label or something.  Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Baby Plucky was done
 by ST.)

How could they DO this to Fifi?  Gosh are these writers mean!    
(Arleen Sorkin and Beth Milstein that is.  Of course, the director

 They're also the ones responsible for "The Amazing Three", so I

  Okay, that's all, folks!  No more poll entries will be accepted (unless I

  As of this posting, I have received 43 entries, not counting mine, so we
may not top last year's count of 45.  Special thanks to Robert, who was
invaluable in helping spread the word about the poll and encouraging people
to vote.  

  Hm.  It occurs to me that at this point, a good thing to have would be the
list of people who have responded.  Unfortunately, I haven't made it up yet.
I'll get that together and post it later in the day.

  (Also thanks to Kevin for the neat ratings guide!  I'll be interested to
see how that matches up with the poll results ...)

  The processing of the poll will take place over the course of this week,
and hopefully we will have the results  ... er, soon. ;-)

  Thanks again to all who voted!!

	Yea, but when she first puts the moves on him (just before they go over
the falls) he's *scared*!  Later on he's probably jerking her chain in
retaliation.  Or, as you say, he may be telling her not to take these sort of
things seriously.

	Another way to look at it is that at that age (~14yrs) girls are more
mature than boys, and boys have a harder time handling that kind of
relationship.
