It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

So Vision is a religious channel? Hmmm, perhaps Canadian religious channels are not like US ones.

I dropped in to see if you guys knew yesterday because there was a strange lack of comment over in Minearverse.

It's not religious in a "you will suffer the fiery pits of hell" way. It does have a spiritual bent but with a lot of inclusive, multicultural programming. I think Sundays they have a huge block of Indian programming, including a show of Bollywood videos.

They show reruns of Seventh Heaven and Touched by an Angel and Little House on the Prairie, also have a classic movie night. I do think they show a lot more fire and brimstone god stuff too, but i never stay on it when I land on it.

They play lovely music on those programs.

Hey! Vision also shows The Littlest Hobo!

Hobo theme in Spanish!

I can't even.

Cool news, sumi. Thanks!

You're welcome!

Actually, that sounds like an interesting mix of programming. Wonderfalls may fit in better than say, 7th Heaven or Little House.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Woohoo! This means I don't have to beg someone to make me a *cough*unofficial*cough* DVD. Thanks for the heads-up, Sumi.

ION, our backyard is being torn up by a bobcat (the mechanical variety) so that the landscapers can put in interlocking brick. They were supposed to start last week but rain delayed them. Molly loves it - a chance to track mud and sand in every five minutes! Dog heaven.

Okay -- you say mechanical bobcat and instead of a bulldozer I get a picture of a robotic wildcat in my mind.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Sounds like the inside of your head is a fun place.

I don't tend to watch Vision much (mostly for the music videos Sue mentioned) but it does make me happy that the only (national) religious channel here is multi-faith. (Ok, that's giving me pictures of duplicating Faiths. Also a fun image.)

Yeah, we're the kind of neighbours that shovel your driveway when you're out of town and the Bush admin is the kind of neighbour that has loud parties where stuff gets broken and the cops get called.
