After dinner last night hubby asked me if there wasything in particular I had planned on watching last night.....I just laughed and told him to go ahead and watch the football game!!!!
He works on sunday, so rarely gets to catch any of the games unless he can find one on the car radio.
I wish I had known about the Fairly Oddparents movie - I would have at least taped it. I think that show is a hoot!!!!

It's a cartoon, in which the kid has fairy godparents that basically do anything he wants them to do. It's hilarious.
Cartoon network, I believe.

We need action just like Denmark is taking in this country, and screw the liberals if they don't like it. They need to get a clue that it isn't their watch any more.

Outtakes from cartoons has to be the funniest idea ever!
To: Gabz
Some of those cartoons are quite bizarre. It's hard to top Yosemite Sam or Foghorn Leghorn.
