Seeking a Cartoon Source

Anyone know where I can get my hands on any of those old Warner

Brothers cartoons featuring Spike the bulldog and Chester the terrier?

Their cartoons always start with Chester bouncing around Spike, going

“C’mon, Spike, let’s do somethin’!”. Chester would suggest an activity, to which Spike respond with a “Naaaah!” and

slap Chester, who would fly backwards into a nearby wall. Chester would chuckle, brush himself off and say

“Yeah, that was a dumb idea,” then look at the camera and say “I like

Spike, ’cause Spike’s my friend!”

If you know where I can find these — either online or if it was ever

released for sale on video or DVD, let me know in the comments!

Yeah, it’s all “Money for blogging and chicks for free” when you’re the Technical Community Development Coordinator.

But seriously, here are my most recent entries on the various Tucows blogs to which I contribute:

You Have Been Following the Adscam Thing, Haven’t You?

It’s been a busy week at work and at home, so I haven’t had a chance to

cover everything. Rather than do a full writeup on it, I’ll simply point you to some writeups about the big story going on up here in Accordion Land

What to Do with All that Moolah

Deenster has a question:

OK, so apparently the STAR TREK fans raised

more than $3 million dollars to try to save Star Trek Enterprise from

cancellation. What do you think they should do with their money if they

are unsuccessful?

a) hire many women for pleasure
b) donate it to the Aspergers foundation
c) start a fund to send kids to space camp
d) start a sci-fi fiction endowment fund

Putting aside any question as to whether $3 million is enough — remember, an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation cost about $1 million per episode

— Deenster has neglected option e: starting a colony of die-hard

Enterprise fans who live by their own rules [Quicktime video, 464KB,

enclosure].

“Inspired by the most logical race in the galaxy — the Vulcans —

breeding will be permitted once every seven years. For many of you,

this will mean much less breeding. For me, much much more!”

Well Done, Pippa!

I don’t like to end the blog day with a post full or ire, and I’ve been meaning to post this photo for a couple of days now.

Ladies and gentlemen, AKMA’s daughter Pippa’s excellent remix of a “God Bless America” T-shirt:

Photo: Pippa Adam and her 'God Bless America...and everybody else' T-shirt.

Click the picture to see the original.

For the full story, see AKMA’s entry.

Normally, when I salute someone, I say “A filet mignon on a flaming

sword to you!” However, AKMA’s family are all vegetarian, so I shall

accomodate Pippa’s diet: “A grilled portobello on a flaming sword to

you!”

One More Thing…

According to Google, I own the phrase “I’ve seen better paper after wiping my ass”. I might donate it to NOW magazine, though.

Toronto (a.k.a. Accordion City)

In Which Our Hero Begs to Differ with the Local Alt-Weakly

After reading this article, I think that Toronto’s NOW Magazine should adopt a new slogan:

“I’ve seen better paper after wiping my ass”.

When the Dalai Lama — who also has my esteem and respect — passes

away, I’ll bet good money that these asshats will be mutilating

themselves with grief and carpet-bombing him with effluvious praise in

their elegy.

If you want a far better left/liberal write-up, try this post in Joshua Micah Marshall’s Talking Points Memo.
