The show, for the lack of a better word, is a spin-off of the extremely popular "Arthur" show. For those unfamiliar, the characters are all animals in human form. (their wear clothes, drive cars, etc...) Buster, Arthur's best friend, is a bunny who travels with his Dad from time to time (he is an airline pilot). An interesting fact is Buster's parents are divorced. Something they have talked about on the show. The "Postcards..." show deals with those travels. On the "Arthur" program they have talked about divorce, different religions..etc. Whether or not they will address the issue of them being lesbians, I don't know. But its not something this show has shyed away from in the past. I'm sure all they'll mention is that, if they have a child, a child with two mommies is still a family. The "Arthur" show and this one helps children understand the different cultures and people that you could meet in this world. It's an excellent and smart program that speaks intelligently to its intended audience. Unlike other flashy shows with no substance. My son is 6 years old. He loves both programs and I see the values I taught him and the values he receives from this show in his everyday life. Let me tell you...he is a big-hearted, exceptional child. It is so easy to teach children to be ignorant, to be mean, to be violent and to hate...escpecially from TV. When a program teaches caring, good values, honesty it should be applauded, no matter who is teaching the lesson. Children are lot more understanding than you may think. In my capacity in the Theatre, I have several friends who have alternative lifestyles. My son asked me once if a certain couple, 2 women, were married because they are always together and they live togther. I said "Well Mikey, no they're not married, but they do live together." "But they love each other?" They had professed to each other many times, he overheard. "Yes, they do" "But Dad...Girls like Boys" "Most do Mikey...but it's just nice to be with someone you love. Boy or girl" "I love girls" "Me too" He hasn't mentioned it since... And the last time I checked, he isn't damaged in any way.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) Let's play devils advocate --- Lee>Podsednik Maggs>Dye That's making yourself worse with two acquisitions. Let me remind you of some transactions that happened not too long ago... Griffey>Cameron/Ichiro A-Rod>Boone Johnson>Garcia Take into account Griffey was at the top of game at the time and Ichiro was unproven. I am not saying that the White Sox are going to strike lighting in the bottle like Seattle, but it proves that speculating individual players greatness against each other doesn't prove anything. Playing as a team does... I am surprised Neyer hasn't learned this...

Thanks Cheat!

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Collapse is a strong word. Every story I've seen says she just fainted. She was in Buffalo...

At one time Neyer was complaing the Sox were too dependant on the longball and needed to be faster and better defensively. KW makes those moves and...we didn't improve. :banghead I know some might disagree with Kenny's moves, but out of 32 teams we are NOT in the bottom 10 of improvement. Here is the FULL article. It's illegal to post that full article from insider. Isn't a mortal sin to question Bill Beane in Bristol?!? However, it's not illegal to give a link to the Lite version of the ESPN site, which displays the same content for free.... Stupid ESPN. http://lite.espn.go.com/mlb/columnist?id=1980522 Edit'd by Cheat

I think that might be only 5 degrees, but I'll let it slide

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) this is getting down right sick. soon you'll be hearing about 5 year olds playing YMCA basketball getting scouted. My 6 year old son is represented by Scott Boras. We're seeking a long term deal in TeeBall. PM me for his medical records!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) And are still going on, today. Are you telling me the World can be an Evil place?!? I refuse to accept that broad statement!

QUOTE(winodj @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) Yes, but LeRoy didn't get to see his audition. He's currently in jail for shooting someone in the hip. Here's a link to that story... http://tv.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,15800,00.html

Honorable in this day and age...

My problem isthat after that doughy William Hung, half of the people auditioning were trying to be soooo bad. They are trying to achieve the level of "fame" that William Hung received. It's rather sad. It takes away from the enjoyment of seeing real people really suck and think they don't. Instead we get overactors trying to REALLY suck and be comical to get a shot to be on the next season of the Surreal Life on VH1.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 08:29 AM) That is hilarious. Haven't the Tigers learned anything about giving out long term deals to injury prone players? They just got out from under that horrific Higgenson deal, they almost paid Juan Gonzalez over $140 million, and now they are going to offer Maggs that kind of money? Well I can always take heart in the fact that De-Troit sucks. What tickles my whiskers is that after a horrendous injury, he has yet to physically workout for any team, and the numerous conflicting doctor reports...Boras is STILL convincing Mags that 5/$70 mil is not good enough. UN-Believable!!!

Insert "Pussy" and "Lick" joke here!

The amazing amount of bad advice he has received over the past months is astounding. Even more amazing...he is listening.

Thanks for the suggestions!
