When you're feeling bored or blue,
Watch out for he Munchies
They've got ways of making you
Munch when you're not hungry

"Here, munch this
Here, munch that
Soon, you're not just bored,
You're FAT!"

Go on outside, find something to do
Get munchin' off your mind
Soon you'll see you're feeling great
With the Munchies left behind.

It's no fun to eat what you can't even see, so don't drown your food."

Julia Sweeney (one of the regulars) is Pat.  I've "known" for a while
that 'it' was Julia, but it was a recent show that really nailed it
down.  During the opening of that show, Pat comes out in full costume,
says something, and takes off the wig and glasses.  Tada!  Julia!

I also thought it was much better than the rest of the season so far.  I liked
the  "Pat" sketch as well.  I was waiting for Stone and when I saw Pat, I found
it even better.  The Flippy/Toonces sketch was inspired.  For the first time
in a while, SNL surprised me and did a good job of it to boot.  Maybe there is
life left in it afterall.  Just get a new Anchor for the update, and they will
be in business.  For those unaware, Dennis Miller does a News of the Week at

	Short version of the story (I posted a fairly long version on another
group recently, most likely rec.video || alt.folklore.urban || 
alt.folklore.computers || alt.hackers)...

	This comes from reading a discussion by one of the authors and 
communicating with him once or twice through e-mail.

	A few people had 'cracked' the first 1000 or so codes, and wrote a
C program to do so.  It was on anonymous ftp.  They were going to update
it to do 10000 codes.. the VCRPlus people got in touch with them, and didn't
like the fact that someone broke their code and was giving out the info for
free..
	The programmers took their program off of anonymous ftp in preparation
for a legal battle.
	The author I talked to said he could be bought (I think anyone can)..
If the VCR+ people paid him enough, he'd settle..  However, if they wouldn't,
he was already looking into free lawyers (I believe from the ACLU) and most
people he talked to said the programmers had a very tight case.

	That's where my knowledge of the story trails off... (damn, it didn't
end up as short as I planned either!)

	So for all practical purposes, the format of the codes is *not* known
to the general public.. so you'll have to go crack it yourself.

begin long_opinionated_rambling
	(I dunno, I hope the programmers do win the case if it goes to court..
the idea of copyrighting an *algorithm* when they reverse engineered it is
silly..  Plus in my wildest dreams maybe the VCR+ people will give up and go
out of business..  yeah yeah, I know it's not a realistic possibility.. I 
just *hate* these devices. People act as if I am trying to keep technology 
out of the "regular people's" hands.. I consider it just the opposite. I
think programming a VCR with on screen programming is MUCH easier than trying
to type in some random length UNMNEMONIC code.  Kind of like MSDOS vs. the 
Apple GUI.  the VCR+ is MSDOS and on screen programming is the GUI. And yes,
I programmed a VCR for years before on-screen programming.. It would still
come *close* to being as easy/logical as the VCR+)

 A ctrl L, is not necessarily enough or workable. It depends on what

If you see an ad in a mainstream (Pnethouse is mainstream) magazine for
anything that strikes you as possibly involving minors in any way shape
or form, the ad is probably part of a governemnt "anti-porn" campaign.

One of their favorite tricks several years ago was offering "Traci Lords"

The really amusing thing is that it seems that the people most vocally opposed
to having any sort of QL group, even a full-fledged rec.arts.tv.quantum_leap,
are the Leapers themselves. Yes, there are people who are opposed to specific
show subgroups on general principles, but QL is the only example of a show I
can think of where the show's fans are adamant about continuing to not have a
subgroup. Only reasons I've ever heard suggested for this is that they'd
somehow lose the ability to evangelize newcomers or that people wouldn't know
where QL was being discussed.

It's about time we started seeing him as himself on some of these talk

I got the feeling that he was a bit nervous though - I think this was his

My big regret is missing seeing the cast on that CNBC show several months ago.

(Sorry I couldn't quote here, but my editor is not obeying today.)

	I've watched tapes #1-#37 and I have to say, they're worth
getting if you understand what kind of shape these episodes were
in when they were first made.  This isn't great quality and 
production values to start with here, people.

	Anyway, they are uncut (except for #1-#8 which have the
opening sequence and end credits edited out, but starting at
#9, everything is left in.)  even all the bloopers are still there.
(although a blooper tape is coming out AAAAACK!)

	My best advice?  Find a rental store that has these tapes.
(Tower Video in San Diego, for example.)  Rent a few and find out
for yourself.  

	P.S.  There are tapes that contain "lost episodes."  That
is episodes that have the final print missing.  They were able to
find working prints for all the episodes, so some aren't of great
