Not to steal any thunder from Alice's dog, I was watching the credits roll on Iron Chef America when my cable box suddenly tuned itself to Encore.  Saturday Night Fever is coming on.

I wonder if this has anything to do with jacking ignom's Hemingway thread with a BeeGee's song earlier?

Weird.
11:42:24 [Gamplayerx] I keep getting knocked up.
11:42:28 [Gamplayerx] Er. OUT!

Is it possible that you haven't coated the inside of your house with tinfoil?  Are you just taunting the aliens to mess with you?

I figured that laying down a double-layer in the attic crawlspace would be enough.  Apparently I was wrong.

I thnk my wife set it up to record for some strange reason.  This is the first time it has ever spontaneously switched channels, however.

Has it started with the emergency broadcasting system warnings yet?
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.

My VCR does that randomly too because I watch my cable through it's receiver because the remote is faster for it than my TV remote.  I never figured it out.

No, but I don't want it to start, either.  How thick is your tinfoil?

I don't trust the tinfoil. That's where they get you.

Dammit!

I can't believe I'm actually watching this.

I can't believe Grumpus has switched the channel to Alien vs. Predator.  Again.

I'd rather watch Saturday Night Fever than Iron Chef America.

Apparently so would my cable box.

Tell him if he changes the channel, he can dork you.
