8/2     Which came first.. the South Park episode about special olympics
        and steroids?  Or the Family Guy episode about special olympics
        and steroids?  Someone has got to pay.  Dammit, don't nuke this,
        I must know.
        \_ since Family Guy looks like Michael Moore, i'd have to
        say South Park came first
        \_ Family Guy episode first aired 12/20/2001.  Dunno for the South
           Park, but I would guess it was later.
        \_ Family Guy episode first aired 12/20/2001.  South Park was 3/24/04.
           Some day you will realize Parker and Stone for the hacks they've
           always been.  And you shall walk in the light eternal
           \_ While I don't disagree about South Park, I have to note the
              vast majority of Family Guy plots were ripped from the Simpsons.
              Except the Family Guy doesn't have the notion of a Halloween
              Except Family Guy doesn't have the notion of a Halloween
              special.  They are all like that.  -- ilyas
              \_ I think trying to evaluate shows like Family Guy or The
                 Simpsons based on "how original is the plot" is missing the
                 point. They both ironically poke fun at standard sitcoms
                 by recycling their plots, so pointing out that they have
                 similar plots doesn't mean the Simpsons is "being ripped
                 off".
                 by recycling their plots, so just because they have similar
                 plots doesn't mean the Simpsons is being "ripped off".
              \_ Eh, if SP had stopped after a handful of seasons, they might
                 have managed to remain funny.
                 \_ Simpsons started making me sad when all the writers left for
                    Futurama. -- ilyas
        \_ I will answer your questiong with another question: "Which
           came first the chicken or the egg?"  I believe it is provable
           that this more general question implys your question.  CS170
           buffs are welcome to comlete said proof. -mrauser
           \_ This is such a stupid false dilemma.  Eggs evolved before
              chickens.

8/12    Bored, watching TV, and came across this synopsis nugget
        for a Three's Company episode:
        "[Janet's boss] Tina blackmails Jack into being at her
         beck and call; otherwise she'll fire Janet."
        The 70s were a weird time.
         \_ there is a _Friends_ episode that could be described zactly the same

1/28    the baby borg episode of star trek:voyager is so sad!
        \_ Jeri Ryan's firm rear end gave us Obama.  God bless her.
           \_ What about the front?
           \_ How was this supposed to have come about?
           \_ I thought I rehashed this for the motd.  Jeri Ryan used to be
              married to an Illinois senator.  They had a messy divorce.

12/15   Anyone have opinions on media streamers that connect to your tv and
        let you play all those bittorrented movies?  I'm getting sick of
        my xbox refusing to play every other video.
        \_ My current solution is an old pc with a cheap video card, using
           Synergy on my laptop.  This plus every episode of MST3K has provided
           much entertainment.
