Speaking of dreams, after kid watching for a friend the other day and being subjected to a couple of hours of Spyro the Dragon on the playstation, I dreamt that I had to rescue Teppy and Billytea from the evil sorceress. I was quite annoyed when I was woken up because I hadn't rescued them and they were still there.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

evil jimi: They probably already had those in the can when they cancelled the show, hoping by presenting them all on the foreign markets they will make back their money...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
IIRC, there were only two Birds of Prey episodes filmed but not broadcast when the axe fell. The WB broadcast those two episodes back-to-back as a Special Two Hour Birds of Prey Special Event a few weeks later (did I mention that it was Special?).
t edit Just double-checked with an on-line episode guide. All thirteen were definitely broadcast in the US.

So an English guy called me an anorak last week. Was he implying anything more insulting than I'm just a big old geek. (It was because of my frightening knowledge of cheesy music.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Ummm, so he meant something above and beyond your being a hooded jacket that keeps you warm in windy weather?
Or is it one of those funny things, like how in my family if you are a complete fool we call you a "drinkbox"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's British slang for geek, Nutty.

Apparently the term is now used to describe geeks, and people with a head load of facts. The way he described it was that people like trainspotters wear anoraks, so by implication, people with a mindful of useless facts are called anoraks.
