Hate the Jetsons, love the commercial. How odd is that?

I love cartoons but the Jetsons were never good. Loved the Flintstones though.

The advent calender is awesome, keep it up!

I sort of outgrew the Jetsons, coincidentally about the time they brought out "Orbity". Orbity is to Astro what Elmo is to Big Bird, only Elmo succeeded. The Sprint guy, however, is almost always cool. (There was that stupid bit about telling kids they were over their maccaroni minutes or whatever.) He’d make me want to use Sprint if I didn’t prefer Cingular.

Wow, I read the Advent while watching Fresh Prince, is that crazy or what? I thought the first mother was way better than the second. She seemed more into playing the role of Aahnt Viv.

I heard this song on the radio today, it was a Chipmunks parody talking about eating Chipmunks in stew, and with honey glaze and stuff. It was pretty funny, at the end the guy screamed "MELVIN" instead of Alvin.

I feed my fish beef heart too, and freeze dried blood worms that are also in handy little cubes (gumdrops, I believe they’re called).

I can’t wait to see Mare shove that wand up Waiterbot’s ass!

Matt, you’ve out-done yourself today. I don’t remember the Jetsons/Radio Shack commercial (this must be from the eight-or-so-year interim when my family didn’t have cable and I had no life and no friends to sneak over and watch their TVs), but the Advent Calender just gets better and better. How are the Stormtroopers (whose IQ appears to be the size of the cell phone Claire got today) going to get the wand back from Her Imperial Nastiness? Has Mare found a spell? Can they rescue Random Jim in time for the appearance of the Big Guy In Red?

And, most importantly of all, what kind of crank calls could Claire whip up with a cell phone the size of a peanut?

Totally off topic, I know, (and I hope nobody has mentioned it yet), but I just saw this commercial...

Matt- are you going to be buying your cat(s?) Ch-ch-ch-chia(!) Cat Grass this year? It comes in a Sylvester and Tweety container!

Also: I am waiting to read the update in the morning. Only a few more hours! Then I get to take two exams! Yay!

And: I really like your tree, Matt. Ours isn't up yet (Dad was SUPPOSED to do it today, but he's lazy. Too bad.) I guess it'll be up a week before Christmas like it always is. When my mom was a kid, Santa would bring the tree on Christmas Eve. I don't know how many families do that now, but I can't imagine putting up and decorating a tree on Christmas Eve, while trying to not wake up the kids. (Yeah, that totally belonged in the previous comment space.)
