Dr. Sanity (Pat Santy) THE COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN ! — “This week’s winners in the Watcher’s Council are now posted at the Watcher of Weasels .

TMH’s Bacon Bits (DL) I Hate My Remote! — “I can’t for the life of me figure out how to really use or program my cable TV/VCR remote. I dread going near it as I fear it will morph (I swear without touching it sometimes) into closed caption, or no voice, or the channels wont move when I hit channel up, or the screen goes into noisy blizzard mode, or the VCR wont record, or if it does, I can’t get back to the TV, and I don’t know why.”
