**orion** : The show is shown on Noggin, which is part of the standard Dish Network (digital satellite) package. So are Nick and Nick West, come to think of it, so you can watch SpongeBob Squarepants, Invader ZIM!, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and, soon, Ren and Stimpy. Oh, _joy_! 😃 -Derleth, who is currently watching M_A_S\*H. Nyah. 🙂 ---

I got in trouble just yesterday teaching my niece this song, but we made up our own words: “If you’re happy and you know it fake a fart” (ppppffftt) (make swishing noises near your bunghole) She enjoyed it. She is five. I am mentally about the same age. (clap clap) ---

Obligatory Denis Leary quote. [Leary] **God… “I’m just not happy. I’m just not happy. I’m just not happy because my life didn’t turn out the way I thought it would.” Hey! Join the fucking club, ok!? I thought I was going to be the starting center fielder for the Boston Red Socks. Life sucks, get a fucking helmet, allright?! “I’m not happy. I’m not happy.” Nobody’s happy, ok!? Happiness comes in small doses folks. It’s a cigarette, or a chocolate cookie, or a five second orgasm. That’s it, ok! You cum, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep, you get up in the morning and go to fucking work, ok!? That is it! End of fucking list! “I’m just not happy.” Shut the fuck up, allright? That’s the name of my new book, “Shut the Fuck Up, by Doctor Denis Leary. A revolutionary new form of therapy.” I’m gonna have my patients come in. “Doctor, I…” “Shut the fuck up, next!” “I don’t feel so…” “Shut the fuck up, next!” “He made me feel so much better about myself, you know? He just told me to shut the fuck up and nobody had ever told me that before. I feel so much better now.” Whining fucking maggots.** [/Leary] 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\*Obligatory Denis Leary quote. > > \:D \*\* One of the things that makes me happiest is singing along to “Asshole” by Denis Leary. "Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces, while handicapped people make handicapped faces. "I use public toilets, and I piss on the seat; I walk around in the summertime sayin’ ‘How about this heat?’ I’M AN ASSHOLE-LEO-LEO, LEO-LEO…" -Dirty ---
