Did you see the spoof they did on Conan back during his early NBC years?  http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/086eddcd7a/slim-organbody?_cc=__d___&_ccid=ed5817df-f0a2-400d-9fa2-a7f44612f658

My favorite daytime PBS show was Safety Frog. Or at least that's what we used to call it.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A few deletions can add a lot!
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
