Slow week on the site, I know. Don’t worry, bidness will be a’pickin’ up next week — three new articles between this weekend and the next, and absolutely none of them having to do with Italian thumb wrestling or Crayola crayons. Next article’s looking pretty saha-wank so far.
Oh, an early request: I’m gearing up for the coming X-E Halloween season. Had shitloads of fun doing last year’s Halloween Countdown and I can’t wait to get on the ball with that again this year — especially because the length of the daily entries won’t preclude me from actually letting them be “daily.” Loads of fun stuff planned, stay tuned. My request: if anyone out there has any Halloween materials they think I might be able to use on the site, please e-mail me. (feel free to use this link to do so) I don’t have very many specifics on what I’m looking for, but here’s a few: Halloween television specials, Halloween commercials (these can be in file format or on VHS), Halloween-inspired print ads, so on and so on. If it looks like something that would be on X-E during the Halloween season and you’re willing to part with it, lemme know. Oh, please don’t post what you’ve got in the comments section — kinda ruins the surprise for everyone else if I use it. :crazy:
To close things out, another survey topic: name your five favorite television shows ever, in any order. Did we already do this one? Oh well.

Ally I know exactly what you mean about Conan the Barbarian cartoon. I used to watch it all the time on Fox. There was one summer when they moved it to like 3 pm weekday afternoons, and I’d do all I could to run home from volunteering as fast as I could to make it. I saw the entire series that summer. Except when they got to like the last episode I either missed it (doubtful), Fox didn’t play it, or they never made one. I remember them about to go into some huge climactic battle with the snake guys again, one that I’d never seen before, and then it just ended without finishing the battle. The next day they went back to playing the very first episode.
Man that pissed me off something fierce for a couple of months. I had forgotten about it until now. ARGH! It makes me so mad. If it weren’t for that, that cartoon would easily be in my top five, I remember it as being awesome but since I feel that the show screwed me, its cut.
My top five shows (and this is so unfair to a bunch more shows I used to love)
-Futurama
-Simpsons
-Trailer Park Boys
-Star Trek TNG
-Seinfeld
