The **fuck’n** WB sucks. I tuned into what I thought would be a nice new episode of Angel, only to be bitterly surprised that _my own Washington Wizards_ were playing basketball yesterday evening. **WTF??** Holy shit on the end of a stick man! I’ve said it in other threads, and while I truly don’t believe their is a conspiracy to get Angel booted off the air, it is gaining considerable ground. I’m not a man of basketball. I can see why other’s like it, but it’s not for me. _The fucking Wizards though?_ Have they won a game this year? I had to miss my beloved show so that the _fucking Wizards_ could go lose? I’m assuming they lost because they suck (or at least they did for what? 20 years???). So now I’m a week behind, I have to wait until repeats and I didn’t get my Cordelia fix :mad: . All because the WB doesn’t seem to realize that their are people on the other end of the TV set that, I don’t know, _might want to watch the fucking show!!!_ :mad: I’m going to go take a shit, label it the WB and leave it for all the world to see. ---

It’d be really funny it was showing at 8pm and you just missed it by an hour. Oh the rant you’d write 🙂 ---

Why, Meatros! I’m surprised at you. The very idea! You cut me to the quick. 🙂 But seriously, I’m not kidding you. Feel free to check [www.wbdc.com](http://www.wbdc.com) and look at their programming schedule for Angel. ---

I have Dish Network and get the Superstation Feeds. I get one WB from New York and one from Colorado. So I get a choice of watching at 8 or 9 Central. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Amp \* > \*\*Unless you tune in at the wrong time. \*\* What an evil, evil, evil thing to say!😃 Don’t worry, I’m going to sit in my room, chugging coffee and no-doze and stay up. I’m going to watch all of the WB’s shitty programing from now until Angel time. I figure by that time I’ll be hallucinating rather heavily by then and Cordelia will look very nice:D . ---

Meatros: I am indeed an identical twin. He also posts to this board. He is also an uber-lurker, just like me (Though my lurking status is in jeopardy now. 3 posts in one day? Whoda thunk it?). However, he is not an evil minion of Satan, and we get along very well. Nothing like cutting expenses in half! (House payment, bills, etc.) 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Meatros \* > \*\*I figure by that time I’ll be hallucinating rather heavily by then and Cordelia will look very nice:D . \*\* 😕 So, you need to hallucinate before you think Cordy looks nice? I realize she’s putting on weight and all, but dude. It’s not like she’s Fred or something. ---
