I'm truly enjoying this new Loony Tunes feature. Please keep it up and don't be shy about Foghorn Leghorn :P

I hate Looney Tunes, but I love Tiny Toons.

@5: I also didn't like any of the Peanuts specials, was not a big fan of Fraggle Rock, and while I enjoyed The Muppet Show, I disliked Swedish Chef with a burning passion.

There's no such thing as an "abortion doctor." Surely you mean "gynecologist," or "obstetrician," or both? "General practitioner," if that was his specialty. Stop playing into the hands of the crazies by letting their language seep, unexamined, into your vocabulary.

I am shocked Nokia is laying off workers. Especially since I hold 500 direct shares of them. Time to reject the exec pay increases - they just lost my votes.
