That’s a keeper, Shibb.
Ah, so you have discovered the corn-fed goodness that is Bonnie Hunt huh Rue? My wife won’t let me watch her show 'cause she thinks I like her (Bonnie) a little too much. Little does she know that Bonnie, or Bon-Bons as I like to call her, and I were actually lovers in college. Don’t believe me? Well, let me just quote to you from one of her torrid love letters.
*My dearest, sweetest Bumbazine,
From the moment I set eyes on you in our ‘History of Cheese’ class I just knew we were destined to be passionate, but ultimately star-crossed, lovers. You are the most handsome, manly, and accomplished lover I have ever known, and I’ve know a lot, even though I was a virgin when we met, and I don’t care who knows I said so, even some complete strangers on a message board on the internet, which hasn’t been invented yet, many years in the future.
I’ll never forget last night…"*
Well, it goes on from there in a similar vein for 45 pages, but you get the gist of it.
I’m also very much in favor of the ‘Aston Cruncher’ show, but I think maybe we could also work some enraged bulls in there somehow. And maybe we could also have a guest crunchee of the week, voted on by the public, or maye just SDMB members, like they do on those ‘Survivor’ shows. Except instead of voting someone off, we’d be voting them on. My first vote would be whoever the idiot was who cancelled ‘Firefly’. Or maybe the entire board of directors of the Fox network. Or Bob Sagat.
During halftime on our new show, we could have guest celebrity female crotch grabbing.
And for that little extra touch of class, we could have Charo fronting the band.
Let me know what you think, and have your people call my people. Unless your ‘people’ is Lucy. I mean, she’s nice enough, but she’s a bitch.
You know what? I want to take that last part back.
Charo is actually a very nice lady and an extremely talented musican, and I shouldn’t have made a joke about her like that.
I apologize.
Rue, you day sounds a lot like mine except:
- We don’t have any kids to worry about. They are all grown up and moved away.
- We don’t have any Panera’s around here. We ate at Red Robin instead.
- The dog was a boxer, not a pit bull. Someone sitting behind me pointed that out every scene the dog was in.
I do agree that Bonnie Hunt is a hottie though. And Steve Martin is getting WAAAAY to old to play the father type, he needs to start finding roles for the grandfatherly type of guys.
Wheee! I’m now sig material, I see! I now feel like a MMP cool kid. 
Ummmm…must contribute to thread somehow…er…
I miss cartoons really badly. See, I thought I’d try this experiment, to make sure tv didn’t take over my life, and I only subscribed to basic cable. Therefore, I don’t get Cartoon Network now. And I really miss Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Which got canceled, I think, so it’s really dumb that I’m saying I miss it because I don’t think it’s on that network anymore. But what does it matter? I’ve got my own set of original cartoon characters right here on the SDMB! 
(and I mean that in a complimentary way, really)
~Magickly (SD's version of She-Ra)Hmmm . . . I can’t decide if I want to be the SD version of Bugs Bunny or Wonder Woman. Bugs has all the good lines, but how often can one claim a Wonder Woaman incarnation? Oh, oh, oh–Bagerra, the panther from Jungle Book! No, I don’t want to be a Disney character, even a cool one from before they were an evil empire. I have a fondness for both Wiley E. Coyote and Marvin the Alien, but I dislike getting things dropped on my head all the time (plus powder burn soot is a pain to wash out of your hair).
Aw heck–just call be Betty Boop. Whoop-dup-dee-doo <eyelash flutter>.
If I sound a little snippy here it’s because of Bumba’s old “relationship” with Bonnie. I mean it was Bumba! How could I compete against that?
But Racer, it wasn’t a Boxer. Whoever was sitting behind you is a big dumbhead. (Duh, of course they are! They were talking during a movie!) It might have been a Boxer mix, but it wasn’t a straight-up Boxer. They are narrower, smaller and brown. I don’t think it was a straight-up Pit Bull either. As much variation as you get with Pitties, the movie dog still seemed a bit too big and beefy. I thought it was a Pit Bull/ Labradore cross (maybe). Or more Stafordshire. But it was definitely one of the big, bitey, baby-eating Pit Bull types.
I think that next year’s Superbowl halftime show should feature Ashton Kutcher getting his crotch bit by rabid mongrel dogs wearing big spiked collars. We could have majorettes twirling flaming batons in the background for added color and also on the off chance one of em will accidentally get to close to Ashton Kutcher and set him on fire. I need to start planning production now.
Ya know, as a cartoon character, I’d probably still be a big goofy cookie eatin’ beer swillin’ bear. I just don’t think I could get more cartoonish than that.

Calmly inserts left thumb in left ear. Calmly inserts right thumb in right ear. Sticks tongue out. Wiggles fingers. Thhbbbbbttttt.
Oh, no, it’s still on. He’s on Adult Swim, which they re-arrange all the time to accomodate new episodes. I watched him interview Triumph the Insult Dog on Sun. night. Stayed up way too late to do it, but damn, it was funny.
Of course, since you no longer get the Cartoon Network*, this news may not be all that helpful. Umm…sorry? 
*What kind of sicko cable company doesn’t offer the Cartoon Network as part of the basic package?! That’s just wrong, man. How are you supposed to get your Dexter fix?
Are you guys ignoring me? I mean, I’ve posted stuff about Kutcher and cartoons and nobody evens mentions me. Are you mad at me for killing the last thread? Did I finally make one too many puns (really though, how can there be too many puns?)? I’m boring aren’t I? I’ve always been boring and you guys have just been humoring me, but now you’re all tired of it. I just know it. Bummer.
And yes, I would like some bread to go with my whine.
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me. I’m gonna eat worms.
*You * feel ignored? I come in here with a shiny new sig, and the only one who comments on it is the one who originated it.
And it’s such a cool sig! I think everyone’s jealous. Especially Rue because he’s not in it… as far as he knows…
I do have to admit, tho, that swampy’s halftime show idea is classic!
C’mon, Kallessa, let’s go get some ice cream. We won’t invite any of them!
FCM, can we eat the ice cream off their asses?
I have to say Shego rules! She is just about the best villain on any cartoon running today, bar none. But sadly, Kim Possible just has not provided me with any crush material. I speak with no shame when I say I have a long history of crushes on cartoon characters - going all the way back to when I was a child, I remember my first cartoon crush as Riot on Jem - big hair ahoy! These days there’s no one focused crush, although what’s his name on Yu-Gi-Oh - hold on - looks up - Kaiba (for some reason, had Tristan stuck in my head - that’s an old crush from Gilmore Girls) is pretty fine. He’s got that awesome flowy jacket thing going on. And I’ve been eyeing Robin on Teen Titans, but since when has Robin had metal things on his booties? What’s the point? To make him more masculine? Oh, and that brings up another CC - Batman, of Animated Adventures of. See - cartoon crushes are nothing to be ashamed of! Of course, what is bad is my crushing on much younger men (although since they are cartoons, I call that it’s not as bad). But the women in my family do tend to go for younger guys - but not that much younger, thank goodness - 2 to 4 years or so.
And that brings up another good point of being single - no one to annoy you when you settle in to watch “kid’s shows”. Bah! I call no such thing. If I derive enjoyment from my cartoons, let me be. As long as I’m not watching shows where they ask you to sing along to the alphabet, I think I’m doing great.
And in the fairness of balance, I will add in a bad point for being single. Cooking. I love, love, love to cook - surprisingly, more now that I have lost weight than before. But most recipes serve somewhere from 4 to 8 people. And since I am constantly watching my weight, I make sure that they are portioned out in the right size servings. So, I always end up with a lot of food, which is alright, because I don’t mind leftovers (soups & chilis are especially better the next day, after the flavors meld), and I don’t mind freezing some portions. Problem is, I cook faster than my freezer can hold. I needs a bigger freezer - right now my freezer is more full than my fridge.
And since valentine’s day is coming, I will mention that I will not be eating any valentine candy - which is a big change from 5 years ago, when I used to power through bags of conversation hearts.

Whatsamattah Kalley? There’s a whole under-current of cartoony goodness going on. I think it’s as big a topic this week as Ashton Chompin’. So buck up lil’ soldier, yer alright.
And no one eats ice cream off my ass. It’s a rule. It makes their hair all sticky and then you have to wash them. Have you ever tried to wash a burro? It’s not as easy as it seems. So no one is allowed to eat on my ass.
Once again, I am left wondering whether susan_foster and I are really the same person. Do I have a multiple personality disorder?
Except that I don’t have cable, so I can’t watch cartoons. In fact, that’s probably the only thing that lets me know that we are two distinct people.
So, the question is, what in that post makes you think that you and I are the same person - since the above post was mostly about cartoons?
And no, you don’t have multiple personality disorder - it’s just a out-of-body/time-travel/time-warp/bad science thingamajiggy gone bad. Just nod and smile.

Rue said my name, all is now right in the world. The only dark cloud is Bumbazine’s failure to flirt with me–I fear I cannot compete with Bonnie Hunt. However, my SD cartoon alter-ego Betty Boop sure can! <flutter eyelashes,
swing hips to make skirt (very short skirt) go swish, swish, head cocked to the side, flutter eyelashes again> Whoop dup de doo!
And Rue, just how hairy is your ass?
I haven’t watched cartoons in ages. I’m into the Food Network these days. I really enjoy cooking, too susan_foster
Aw, geez, now you’ve got me thinking about Rue’s ass. You’ve destroyed the wholesomeness of our Special Friendship and tainted it with ass.
And no, it wasn’t his ass in my sig. twicks can attest to that. Because when I think of pizza on an ass…
Oh, never mind.
