This makes me a very happy monkey. Quisp is back, as are my beloved Sister. All we need is for the Woody Woodpecker where the dog in the sattelite says, "Alligator, Go Home!!" to be made into a major motion picture, and we will have acheived Retro Nirvana.

Posted by: b****fire on October 26, 2002 10:19 PMActually, does anybody remember this cartoon where there were two bears living in a Park who scrounged food offa people, and when a jalopy-load of teenagers happened by, sculpted his head hair into a pompadour grabbed a guitar and sang something like (no shit) "Hound Dog, Hound Dog, Rock and Roll, Hound Dog, Boogie Woogie" after which he was showered with goodies?
Anybody remember or have I finally gone nuts?
Posted by: jonmc on October 26, 2002 10:32 PMNope, wasn't Yogi. From the animation style it looked Warner Bros. but who the hell knows.

Posted by: jonmc on October 27, 2002 12:09 PMOk, this is totally not related, but I don't have posting rights to the front page...and I just have to share this with you guys...
You know those times when you see something, and you think...wow, I wonder if I'm having a flashback? Well...Show me the monkeys!
Ok, I return you to your previous discussion now. ;)

Posted by: dejah420 on October 29, 2002 11:32 PMA note about posting images:
We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys
wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone
else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts
on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found
