By the banana bologna or just bologna? B/c the latter does it for me.

Is it Hank that likes the PB&Bacon sandwich?

Ironweed is number one superguy. Or would that be Mr. Bunny? I'm confused.

And for your amusement ... funny, I never noticed the porn music riff as a kid.

[Spoken] Who is this superhero? Sarge? NO!
Rosemary the telephone operator? No way man!
Henry the mild-mannered janitor? Could be!

Hong Kong Phooey,
Number one superguy;
Hong Kong Phooey,
Quicker than the human eye.

Oh he's got style,
A groovy smile,
A bod that just won't stop.
When the going gets rough,
He's super tough,
With a Hong Kong Phooey chop (woof).

Hong Kong Phooey,
Number one superguy;
Hong Kong Phooey,
Oh he's quicker than the human eye.

Ong chicky bong chicky dong diddly dong,
Iddly bom bom diddly dong bow wow wow.

[First refrains repeat]

Chicky oh chicky loh chicky bow wow wow,
Didda dickety dong dickety dickety dog dog dog.

(Random vocalizations continue, including "Do you wanna do the dogs".)

[First refrains repeat]

(Screams.)

Hong Kong Phooey, boys! Fanriffic!

Mmmmmmm. Finger-print peanut butter sandwiches on wheat bread, with just that little bit of condensation on the inside of the plastic bag. A pear with more bruises than Courtney Love. Warm chocolate milk.

Unless it's a product of my fevered imagination, I recall eating "chicken" sandwiches that were make with "chicken" that was sliced, cold-cut style, from a chicken loaf. Did this actually exist? Good god we were poor.

Yes. I remember chicken loaf during some lean years.

And no, it's not like spam, it's like bologna made out of chicken. Processed and pressed into disgusting sliceable form.

MMmmmmm. Peanut butter and honey sandwiches with just a bit of crystallization on the bread. Durkee's potato sticks that came in a can. Milk in a carton with the leaky paper straws.

Chicken loaf, is that the stuff you see the pattern of all the 'pressed' chicken in?

How about Underwood's Deviled Ham. I loved that stuff when I was 6. Bought some a few years back and couldn't stand the smell when I opened the can. Had to throw it away without tasting it.

Heh. My older brother was an odd child. One day my mom got a call from the school. My brother had decided he didn't like the tuna fish sandwiches she was packing for him. Instead of throwing them away, he just left them in the locker. People noticed. Mom was so embarrassed.

Your impersonation of NFH with this post was spot on. Bravo!

But please, don't do it again.

I just remember its pasty paleness and essential wrongness. Ugh.

how could you open a useless news forum, and not make nfh the moderator? I'm not saying I feel she should be, but it would be playing to consesus.

Thanks, I've been following it on Game Cast. Can't wait to see the replay of Campbell's disallowed goal. Portugal are now up 2-1.

If a Hong Kong Phooey reference blows your mind, it is probably best that you avoid drugs.

Such jealousy does not become you.

Perhaps it's merely a ruse . . .

but has anyone else been warned by their employer that a security hole in Internet Explorer is being exploited by hackers to obtain credit card and other financial information when one does any online shopping?

Guess it means more posting, less shopping for me.

If not true, it is certainly a truism - every torjan horse, virus and keylogger attack takes advantage of one security hole or another in either Windows or Internet Explorer.

But more problematically, there has been a relatively new virus that inserts itself into a message that warns the user of a new Microsoft exploit and appears to come from the IT department of the recipient (it takes information from the @ section of the e-mail address, so if your e-mail is mburger@lawtalkers.com, it will make the top of the message say "An important message from your Lawtalkers security team." Sometimes this makes sense, sometimes it doesn't, but it's remarkably effective on average.)

To protect oneself, one should do several things in general:

- Access the Internet from behind a firewall.

- Keep anti-virus software up-to-date. Best option is one that automatically updates itself whenever a new version is available. This is the best $50 a year a netizen can spend.

- Check Microsoft.com for updates daily. This takes about a minute once you've bookmarked the page.

- Always be suspicious of any e-mail that claims to come from a financial institution that askes you to open an attachment or provides a link to log-in. Log in by going to the web page the normal way (typing in the URL / favorites). While any e-mail from any bank, brokerage, etc. is suspicious, Paypal, Citibank and US Bank are especially suspect.


Is it obvious that I've been spending way too much time on this shit lately?
