So tell me how Dark Angel is. I’ve heard mixed reviews so far. ---

Picture in Picture - watch them both. (I’d watch the debate, but a lightning strike knocked out my tv.) ---

Depends on if you want to watch a comedy or a drama. ---

I think Dark Angel will be on again on Friday, and the chances of Bush screwing up are very great, so I say go for the debate. ---

Neither, of course. I wanted to see Dark Angel, but there’s no way I was going to miss Buffy and Angel. If it’s on again Friday, great. And what debate? Those two candidates are the same! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sandyr \* > \*\*[http://www.npr.org/members/southeast.html#fl](http://www.npr.org/members/southeast.html#fl) \*\* No debate, but I did find that WUSF-FM in Tampa is running a segment about the Goon Show on October 12th. Yes!!!Woohoo!!! Yes!!! Yeeeeeehaaaaaaawwwwwwww!!! :does happy dance about the room: Thanks!!! (Now if I could find “I’m Sorry, I’ll Read That Again” broadcast somewhere, but I’ll be happy with the Goon Show for now.) ---

Isn’t dark angel the show by the same guy who did Titanic? I say the debates. It’s fun watching Bush look like an idiot. ---

Started to watch Dark angel. Got halfway thru it and discovered the exact meaning of enui. I am here now. I shoulda watched the debates. Or paint dry. Or my foot fungus spread. All more exciting than that Dreck. blah. ---

So, **particlewill** and **Amulet** thanks for the input. I guess working late and watching baseball on ESPN Gamecast was not a bad choice (go Oakland!). Anyone watch Comedy Central’s take on the debates? I figure at least _The Daily Show with Jon Stewart_ will have some feedback that should be worth watching. ---

Hey, I _liked_ “Dark Angel.” Kiss my firm yet pliant butt. Yeah, it was cheese, but it was GOOD cheese. Neener. Plbth. Get offa yer intellectual high horse.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Amulet \* > \*\*Well, I want those 90 minutes of my life back. > > What a fucking waste of time. \*\* No kidding. I can summarize the whole 90 minute debate in 4 lines: Gore: I want to put Medicare in a LOCKED BOX. Bush: You had 8 years to do it! Gore: My opponent wants to give money to the 1% richest people only! Bush: No, everyone. Vote for me, everyone gets money! (Repeat for an hour and a half.) ---

I watched the debate–sort of. Yesterday was long day, and I was tired as hell by the time I sat down in front of the T.V. I kept falling asleep, and hubby didn’t want to watch all by himself, so he kept waking me up. A couple of times, I mumbled, “This is as much fun as watching fish get shot in a barrel”. Predictable outcome. Complete waste of time. At least I got a nap out of the deal…🙂 ---
