Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 01:06 pm     Tksoard, I'm so glad DirecTV has chosen to improve the quality of your TV programming.  |
Tksoard | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 01:29 pm     Me too, Weinermr!! Don't know how I ever got along without Jerry all these years!! ' |
Tess | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 01:50 pm     Tk, I was eating lunch while reading your description of the JS show. I've never seen one of his shows and now I'm positive I never will. However, I was laughing so hard at your description that my lunch almost hit my computer screen if you know what I mean. |
Tksoard | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:28 pm     Sorry Tess!! It was just SO BAD, words can't even start to describe it!! And she was so frumpy on top of it!! It'll be a while before I can look at a steak in the same way again!!  |
Dahli | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:40 pm     TK, I used to watch Springer years ago, when it was mostly amusing and kind of strange, now I can't even bear to hear the intro, the show is just so GROSS, that's all it is & I fear for where it must go next. I often wonder what those from other countries must think of a culture that has enough people to fill an audience let alone keep ratings up there....sad sad sad and just a bit scary. |
Tksoard | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:46 pm     Dahli, what is really scary, is that there are actually people in this world that would go on TV and act like that!! These stories Can't possible be true, and to lower yourself to those standards in front of God and everybody is just SICK!!  |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:50 pm     So... uhhhhhhhh... I suppose this would not be a good place to announce that Juju is going to be on Springer next week?
 |
Max | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:51 pm     Ah, yes, the decay that is Jerry Springer. Just think what your impression of America would be if that was the first TV you saw! EEK! Just checked my tv listings and found that Dish Network is now carrying ALL my local channels! Happy New Year to me! They slipped them in at a new location the sneaky dogs! I upgraded to America's Top 150, too, so now I can watch the Discovery DIY channel and the Soap Opera channel (which shows reruns of the soaps in the evenings in case your tape messes up). I only watch one soap, but what the heck. |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 02:58 pm     Juju, Aha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So you are a Springer spaniel are you?? I knew it!!!!!
 |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 03:01 pm     Oh and Juju - Remember that little conversation we had (OK I was on a tirade) about self-determination? I think that might be applicable to the portrait above. <weinermr hops the first train out of town> |
Tess | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 03:09 pm     So THAT'S what Juju really looks like. |
Moondance | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 03:37 pm     hmmmmm but thats a boy Springer!  |
Tess | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 03:58 pm     oooooooooops!! So sorry, Juju. |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 04:05 pm     But that's what I mean about self-determination!! <hops back on the train and ducks down real low> |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 05:31 pm     Uhhhhhhhhhh, ... unless that is a foot... Yeah, a back foot. Like if I was sitting askance or something... We might have to have Sage touch this one up a little too. Cute, Weinermr, very, very cute.

Car54 | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 05:43 pm     Oh, man, I log in after a 12 hr day at work while my STEAK dinner is in the broiler- and check to see what anyone has to say about DirecTV, and ewwwwwwwwwww. Jeez, guys, warn a girl next time. Not hungry any more. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 05:56 pm     Hey, Car, can I have the steak? I promise I'll just eat it.
 |
Tksoard | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 06:00 pm     Juju, do you want my duct tape?  |
Car54 | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 06:07 pm     Ewwww... Juju, its all yours BYO Duct Tape, Happy New Year! |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 07:26 pm     My sincere apologies Juju for my faux pas, or faux paw perhaps - well that thing isn't actually a paw is it? See it's like this - I had to go to work today, and I was under a tremendous strain to actually look like I was working so that they would pay me for sitting at my desk, shuffling papers, and posting on TVCH while looking like I was disciplining the rest of the poor souls that had to go to work today and pretend like THEY were working, so that explains everything, doesn't it? Well, at least I didn't put up a picture of a cocker spaniel...OK weinermr, keep it clean, keep it clean, keep it clean.... well anyway, I TRIED to explain, and well, you know, and well, you know, and...... gosh........ and....... well...................geez..... someone get me out of here will ya? <weinermr hangs his head in shame, realizing it isn't the first time, realizing it won't be the last time> |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 08:06 pm     New Years Resolutions 1. Take class on anatomy. 2. Look before you leap. |
Urgrace | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 08:51 pm     We had rib eye for supper. Sure am glad it was a few hours before I read about Tks experience with the grossest show on American tv! Oh come on! That is the cutest springer spaniel I have ever seen! The last one I saw in person (so to speak!) was the ugliest mutt, and I decided I would never have one! Juju will just have to grin and 'bear it'! urgrace flutters out of the room as fast as she can ~~ ~ ~ ~ |
Weinermr | Monday, December 31, 2001 - 08:59 pm     But Urgrace.... the problem is........ Aw nuts, never mind! |
Meme9 | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 09:32 am     I'm glad I didn't read this post until this morning! Last night I had a wonderful, medium well, 8 oz., filet...MummmmMummmmm. (And a few drinks... ..hic..up.) Had I read this tread first, I would have been rolling on the floor laughing so much the whole time I was eating that steak. Not to say we weren't ROTFL anyway. Wish you all could have joined us..(Well MOST of you..hehe)! |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 10:48 am     Well now, Weinermr, if you will just go to the Zelda/Moondance folder you will find out that I have a lousy monitor and can't see really well into some of the pictures posted, so I actually think it could be a foot. In fact, I am almost sure it is a foot. IF we are all talking about the same, er, thing of course. And I warned you about that trying to pretend-to-work stuff on New Years Eve. Good thing you had the eggnog.
 |
Sage | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 12:15 pm     Um Juju, I just checked, lightened the pic of the cute litlle springer, and I can assure you, that is no foot. What is this place coming to? I think Weinermr has a thing for weiners. |
Spygirl | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 02:06 pm      |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 03:47 pm     Uhhhhh, you might want to look again, Sage. Maybe you could look at it with a laser magnifier or something? I think Weinermr was just going for the self-determination angle.
 |
Tksoard | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 03:53 pm     Whatever, it sure does look like a happy puppy!!  |
Urgrace | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 04:34 pm     Weinermr, I know that this springer does not have the correct anatomy for Juju, but it is a cute puppy! You didn't have to explain.... I just thought Sage or somebody was going to modify the picture! That would work. Or maybe this cutie has a sister. A Co*ker Spaniel is obviously not going to work! Hey just crop the bottom off the picture! hehehe |
Sage | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Cropping I can do, but I think that would just take away the full effect of the cuteness of our little buddy here. Juju, no amount of zooming will change what we see, of this cute little darling and his proper anatomy. You think its a foot? A foot long maybe. How about a campaign to name the cute little feller? I nominate the name Joe Cocker.

Spygirl | Tuesday, January 01, 2002 - 05:37 pm     Okay...again, I can only say " " |
Donut | Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 11:38 am     well i just had an urge to go to the bottom of the list and resurrect whatever was the very lowest of posts, and boy did i discover one that was lower than low! but very entertaining! btw, car54, our apt bldg switched to direct tv recently, we had no choice, but i love it. Even old leave it to beaver episodes are sharp as a tack, and the info provided about each show is great.I am so spoiled now, that i dont like being at other peoples houses who dont have show descriptions and not being able to know instantly what exactly will be cooking on any food network show or what actors are in a movie and who directed it and in what year. And you get to make up your own menus so you dont have to scroll thru hundreds of channels each time. and we havent had any problems in storms yet. and i think it basically costs the same as most cable. well this thread was certainly educational, sorry i missed it first time around, i guess being a vegetarian, i will need a few veggie burgers and some duct tape , EWWWWWWW! |
