Clutch Cargo
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.)

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

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

Yeppers.

That was sublime.

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

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
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.

That there's a hanging offense. If you know enough to scavenge someone elses power supply (i.e., you know you need power to run those new-fangled computerization thingies), you know enough not to do so.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita, can you booby-trap it to shock him the next time he tries to steal it?
I confess, my first fanfic was written about Battle of the Planets. I was 15.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
New Guy came in just as I was stealing the power supply back. He was all "oh, good, you found it." Very unapologetic. I told him to put it back where he found it next time. I have no hope that the suggestion took.
Co-worker had me at thinkgeek.com (looking up his fake paper coffee cup), and I noticed this T-shirt. Kinda teared me up. Zoe's the third woman they mention, and they even call out Agent 355! She never gets called out.
I still haven't found my one true mug. I hope it doesn't end up being SPN just because I can't find Buffy or Batman.
