In honor of April Fool's Day, Cartoon Network has been taken over by chimps. It's Monkey Marathon Day, where every show features a monkey.
First, the cartoon network. Next...the world ? ? ?
Posted by jpoulos at April 01, 2003 09:37 AMI say the Food Network is next. Let's hold Emeril at gunpoint and force him to cook our way. Starting here....
Posted by: jonmc on April 1, 2003 09:41 AMI gave up teevee for Lent. Curse you, Cartoon Network!
Posted by: ColdChef on April 1, 2003 09:43 AMMy five-year-old and I got to watch two classic episodes of Space Ghost this morning thanks to the monkey invasion. He kept asking "Where's Brak? Where's Zorak?"
It was then that I realized the countless hours of cartoon watching are finally paying off. *sniff*
Posted by: whatnot on April 1, 2003 09:50 AMHa! I watched two classic eps of Space Ghost this morning, and I kept asking "Where's Brak? Where's Zorak?"
Posted by: jpoulos on April 1, 2003 10:07 AMDamn. I'm considering recording this whole day to DVD.
Posted by: adampsyche on April 1, 2003 10:16 AMWait til you see chimpanzees beating the piss out of those Survivor babies.

Posted by: Thomcatspike on April 1, 2003 12:20 PMah shucks...you guys; thanks for the compliment[looks at calendar], Not…
Posted by: Thomcatspike on April 1, 2003 12:28 PMYou know what sucks? I went to MetaTalk BEFORE I went to MetaFilter this morning. Damn. I bet that would have been funny, too.
Posted by: ColdChef on April 1, 2003 12:30 PMSo you go to MetaTalk to talk about stuff before you know what it is that you want to talk about?
I just go there to pick fights.
Posted by: kafka the drum slowly on April 1, 2003 12:39 PMAfter mostly lurking, I give to you a splendid bit of monkey material: A quicktime movie of Jeff Krulik's documentary, "I created Lancelot Link."
Posted by: machaus on April 1, 2003 01:16 PMMachaus is the friend to all children and my personal idol. I have built a grisly shrine to him in my basement out of the femurs of my victims.
Posted by: kafka the drum slowly on April 1, 2003 01:24 PMMachaus lurks here?!?! I *loved* your killahs.
I know, I know, that's old news - but with five dogs and a cat chez moi, I read it and wept.
Posted by: tizzie on April 1, 2003 01:28 PMHey, remember that really great TV show, Jennifer Slept Here?
Posted by: witchstone on April 1, 2003 01:50 PMWith John Cusack and Tom Poston. A piquant yet soggy combo platter of soon to be's and has beens peppered with the occasional guest never-was.
Posted by: jonmc on April 1, 2003 02:06 PMWhy, jon! You have the pithy sensibilities to be a feisty TV Guide critic! You have missed your calling, son.
Posted by: kafka the drum slowly on April 1, 2003 02:12 PMWith John Cusack and Tom Poston
I am puzzled. I was talking about this show.
Posted by: witchstone on April 1, 2003 02:24 PMOh my christ I do remember that, Witch Person.
Now I'm having It's A Living flashbacks.
Aaaughh! Help!
Posted by: kafka the drum slowly on April 1, 2003 02:26 PMLook into your heart! I'm praying to you!
Posted by: kafka the drum slowly on April 1, 2003 02:34 PMWait a cotton-pickin' minute. I distinctly remember a show featuring Ann Jillian as a ghost, John Cusack, and Tom Poston. Glen Scarpelli was the skinny little rat on One Day At A Time with Bonnie Franklin who reminds me of my own mother. This is confusing the living shit out of me. I am way too stable for erroneous nostalgia.
Posted by: jonmc on April 1, 2003 02:36 PM*considers kafka's plea*
*looks into heart*
*finds twisted and charred black lump*
*cries*
*reaches out hand to kafka*
April Fool!
*cruelly snatches hand away*

Being April 1st only reason to view the war-filter Blue today for me.
Thanks Machaus, just love the part from memory; (jersey accent) is it safe to do the interview right here...sure, rarely does a car go by here...[hearing the Rattling sound of a sliding outdoor metal chair] Then a large truck rolls by...

That's the nice thing about being a nondenominational charismatic. No Lent! w00t!
Please don't tell me that has a meaning I'm unaware of.
Posted by: b*nnyf*re on April 1, 2003 05:17 PMIt's a slow day at work. I just went through and read all the taglines. What a bunch of geniuses we are. Juvenile, sure, but fucking geniuses.

Also, machaus ate my baby, but I live him anyway.

Bunny totally cheated on her charisma roll. I kept telling her 3d6 is 3d6, but would she listen? No!
Fine. Be a beautiful elf maiden. See if I care. Cheater.
