is that a remake of the original Family Affair? if it were the original, i would say it is most prescient of them to be critical of the phonetic spelling that public schools condone!

Homework:
Jejune bugs are huge, obnoxious-looking, brown-black crawling insets (bugs actually) that don't really do anything.
Kinda of like your average democratic Senator if Lott had any nerve and starts passing the President's agenda instead of trying to appease ABCNNBCBS, the Washington Post and NY Times.
To: xsmommy
Yes it's a remake. Gary Cole plays Uncle Bill (and does a good job of filling Brian Keith's shoes) and Tim Curry plays Mr. French (at first I was skeptical about the casting -- he's no Sebastian Cabot -- but he is excellent in the role, playing it perfectly as the somewhat snobby butler who doesn't like children but falls for his employer's nieces and nephew.) It airs on Thursday nights on the WB network and retained the attitude and feel of the original show even though it has been updated.

A-. You didn't provide a link to a story.
To: VRWCmember
Ahhhhhhhh heck!
Ya can't really link to a jejune bug, ya know ....
They're sort of mobile and quiet and don't have wireless bug hookups:
Now, a cricket?
Yes, a cricket could be hooked up since they're already digitally enhanced and noisy. (Just have to lay a 128-bit engyptian hierglyphic decoder ring around the sound they emit, and you're off to the races.)
But a Rodent Of Unusual Size in the fire swamp? I ain't touching that thing with a ten-foot pole.

If you can't produce a note from your xsguardian, we'll have to mark your a$s lardy tardy!

I didn't know you have a big behind! Huh. You learn something every day.
Hey, Miss C! More Mounties:

From the article on NRO, I'd say Jonah's got a lot of this country pegged. But a lot of us appreciate our neighbour to the south, but we don't get paid much attention by the liberal powers that be up here.
