I’m wondering why Disney (The song is a sped up part from the opening theme to “Robin Hood”) didn’t crack down on this website long ago. ---

I hate the Disney _Robin Hood_. Uninspired, derivative of earlier Disney films, terible pacing, re-used animation sequences to fill time, pointless and shallow characters, etc. Oh, and I always hear “Little Bunny Foo-Foo” when I hear the title song. “Robin Hood and Little John Walking through the forest. Scooping up the field mice and bop them on their heads…” ---

_SterlingNorth: AWB: one question. How’d you get the first post to do that???_ I inserted HTML code into my message. Instead of simple \\ for italics or \\ for bold, I used \ to end the current table row, then opened a new on with \. (The bgcolor attribute turned the background color of the new row bright red.) Then I used one \\ pair to define the first column of my new row, which falls under where my username goes. (I put in the \ code 3 time to reference the animated hampster GIF.) The I put \ without it’s matching \ to finish my post, and let the SDMB program finish up my message. (I hope all my HTML codes came out right…) * * * I looked in the mirror today/My eyes just didn’t seem so bright I’ve lost a few more hairs/I think I’m going bald - Rush ---

I have one thing to say to the makers of [Hampsterdance.com](http://Hampsterdance.com): IT’S **“HAMSTER”** , _NOT_ “HAM **P** STER!!!” _ **LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!!** _ You cannot find the word “hampster” in Webster’s.
