That's awesome.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Clutch Cargo--now there's a flashback! I grew up watching that on Garfield Goose and Friends on WGN.

Something I only know about via MST3K references and Pulp Fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was that one of those where they superimposed a human's lips moving over the characters as they talked? Scary! (There's an awesome homage/parody of this technique in the extras for the Incredibles DVD.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I don't even like OK GO, but their videos are consistently awesome.

Me too! Garfield Goose, the King of the United States. Beauregard Burnside III, the head of the secret service, who could only be awakened by yelling the names of food in his ear. Garfield's nephew, Christmas Goose.

Let's not forget the other WGN kids classics, Ray Raynor (better than Captain Kangaroo any day) and Bozo's Circus. The Chicago-based Bozo was terrific, mostly due to the other characters including Cookie, Wizzo the Magician, and the inimitable Mr. Ned, the ringmaster. When I was a kid, you had to submit your requests for tickets for Bozo's Circus years in advance--we didn't get ours until five years after the parents ordered them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
New Guy took my power supply again. Which, in theory, if I'm not there, I don't care about. AS LONG AS HE PUTS IT BACK. Because once I try and wake up my laptop in the docking station without power, it means I need to restart and I lose all my unsaved data. That query took fifteen minutes to run, and I hadn't even saved the SQL.
