Boy, you have to be an old-schooler from Orlando to get that reference. If not, that was the intro from the now defunct Ranger Bob Cartoon Show on TV-63 back in the late-80s. It's kind of sad, because now the kids get the Cowboy Bob & Buster Show on local TV. What makes that sad are that "Cowboy Bob & Buster" are cartoon spokesman for a local group of car dealerships. Indoctrinate them while they're young I guess.
Are You In the Christmas Spirit Yet???
Wow, so far here in the Sunshine State we've had a whopping ONE DAY of semi-cool weather. Hopefully, the weatherman is saying that another cold front will be coming through the area tomorrow and cooler temperatures will come back over the weekend. But this is Florida, where cooler temperatures means highs in the low-60s. Brrrr....
But it's time for my favorite thing about Christmas... I'm talking, of course, about absurd car ads that make it seem like common practice that people buy $40,000 luxury automobiles as gifts for each other. There was a great little segment in this week's *tbt (that's the Tampa Bay Times for you unhip readers out there). But really, if there's any incredibly hot women out there who normally buy their boyfriends BMWs as Christmas presents, please send a picture and what you're willing to buy me in care of AOwL.com.
But I'm just a big kid at heart, so my favorite part of the season is watching the old Christmas specials of my childhood. With my Tivo player, I've been able to get most of them but I've noticed something. The Christmas specials that usually would air over a week or so are now just repeating endlessly on several stations. The classic Grinch will be airing on the WB, the Cartoon Network, and TBS. I mean, I love it but it's becoming over-saturated.
