I grew up on Classic Who. Sunday nights from 11:00 pm to around 12:35 in the morning--Mom didn't let me stay up that late until I graduated from junior high (14 y.o.). The local PBS station had its Brit Block starting at 10:00 pm (Monty Python or Fawlty Towers, sometimes The Goodies), followed by (usually) Dave Allen At Large at 10:30 (sometimes The Two Ronnies), then the full story of Doctor Who, instead of the serialized half-hour ep as was originally shown on the BBC.

Can't sleep. Rain will eat me, or something.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Growing up, I got pretty much that line-up starting from 6:00. Goodies followed by Dr Who, then Fawlty Towers or Yes Minister or something like that; Two Ronnies was just Wednesdays, IIRC. Dave Allen was later at night, but still fun.

All is well that ends in pizza.
and a quick Congrats to Nilly... er rather DOCTOR Nilly!!!
Indeed. Yay Dr. Nilly!
Hmmm. "Dr. Nillytown"?
Too bad it's not Nillyville. It has more flow as an earworm.
Linking away again with Doctor Nillyville
Looking for a good link to those shows.
Some people claim that they can search for the same,
But who cares? Nilly already knows.
On the other hand there's
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly
Hey! Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly. Doc-Doctor Nilly!
Doctor Nilly. Doc-Doctor Nilly!
Oh Man am I up too early. Time to hit the shower and back to bed.

Just how wrong is it to "reply all" with a Snopes addy when you get some stupid, pseudo-patriotic, forwarded email?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Depends on how much (or *if*) you care about ticking off the sender.
I tend to "reply all" with a Snopes link when someone sends a ridiculous, unfounded health-related e-mail (like, don't drink cold beverages with a meal, because the cold beverage will hit the food in your stomach and solidify the fat in the meal and prevent digestion -- that was a real e-mail my mom sent me, and I Snopes-ed her on it).

Oh lord, someone sent me that one just yesterday. Gives my Coke Zero-loving self the screaming irrits, it does.

This was not the first time this person has forwarded utter crap. In the past, I have taken the more subtle approach of sending the Snopes link to her saying, "You'll be relieved to know that is not true...." and hoping she would also forward the Snopes link to all she misinformed. I kept hoping she would learn to check things out first before forwarding. At this point, seeing as she has not learned that yet, I figure I can't trust her to correct the false information she sends out. So I want to make sure to spread the truth myself. And to be honest, if it just happens to cause a smidgeon of embarrassment, just enough for her to either stop sending me crap or check the crap out on Snopes first, I won't be horribly taken aback at the depths of my own evil.
