I said it once, I'll say it ten million times. John Dimaggio is the freaking man!

Heh yes he is, yes he is. So many people love him as Bender from Futurama but if I ever see/meet him in person, I'm gonna say "HELL YEAH there's Dr. Drakken over there" .

That's the role I love him best in.

I'm of the opinion that DiMaggio's best role is Bender. Of course I'm not alone on that one. Who can't love that precocious little scamp?

I don't know... he made a strong impression with his performances as the Scotsman (Samurai Jack) and General Grievous (Clone Wars)

Last show I watched happened to be the favorite of most of us here. Eppie was "Dinner is Swearved". Yeah, this is another episode you don't want to watch with me as I quote almost the whole thing. And I like to do it out loud. I'd become very annoying very fast.

Last thing I watched was some documentary about some fraudster ventriloquist who is selling strips of land on the moon as he's 'claimed it'. Apparently there's no legal prohibition on him doing this, in which case I claim the rest of entire universe. Anyone want to buy a galaxy off me?

Actually the film was about people who'd bought some Moon at £20 an acre ( about $40) for which they recieved a certificate that looked, well...not very legal anyway. Some guy had 22 strips! At first there was the amusement factor that kept me watching but a kind of horror crept in that a good chunk of these buyers were single men with a few funny ideas in their heads who were filling their lives with distractions that further pushed them away from what's laughably considered mainstream. Um... it's hard to describe what I'm getting at but a shiver really went down my spine. Sometimes life is just unbearably sad.

More cheerily, one of the moon's new owners was a fellow from round my way (Denton)who has his own private space program called STARCHASER. I've actually seen his rocket and it's pretty impressive. Hmmm that sentence was ill-judged. Anyway he's cool, he regarded the whole Moon-for-sale thing as a big joke. It's a little bit offensive as well though, isn't it?

Haha, there was actually a boy in my English class back in secondary school who prided himself upon - apparently - having purchased a couple of acres on the moon. Got to say, I found the whole notion highly questionable at the time.

IMO, the only one who has any right to sell plots of land on the moon is Ratzilla. He was there first, after all.

How much had it cost him? However much it was, he could have spent it on sweets or comics here on Earth, shared them out and at least got some popularity and maybe a bit of kudos. Or maybe a tattoo on his forehead that said 'I AM GULLIBLE PLEASE EXPLOIT ME'

Hope no-one on this forum owns any of the moon or they might be a tad offended. Please don't! I'm just jealous, I don't even own any of the Earth.

Ok I'm ignorant (or old and forgetful). Explain Ratzilla. ???

Sadly, I can't remember what kind of price he'd attached to that claim. Oddly enough, he always struck me as being one of the shrewder members of my class back then. Maybe it was some kind of ruse on his part.

I could explain the glorious Ratzilla myself, but it would probably be a lot easier to let the film itself do the talking. Hope youtube don't yank this one too quickly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzbA6kqSceI

I only discovered this in March last year, when I'd rented a couple of Night Gallery DVDs. I'm pretty convinced that if you look back far enough, you can find my initial reaction in this very thread. Since then, I've decided that Ratzilla rules.

The last TV show I watched was that ^

Well I'm glad that's cleared up. Spooky how these old sci-fi things managed to get so close to the truth, I mean, these days everyone's well aware of the Spoiler Below

enormous rodents that infest the moon

. No-one gives it a second thought.

It was hard to tell but was there a Spoiler Below

big bit of cheese in that trap?

Cheers JJ. Woot!
