This is the original video icon

The Three Little Pigs - Italian Style
Nov. 8th, 2007 01:47 amOnce upon a time there were three little pigs. The straw pig, the stick pig and the brick pig.
One day this nasty old wolf came up to the straw pig's house and said,"I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!!
So the straw pig went running over to the stick pig's house and said, "Please let me in, the wolf just blew down my house." So the stick Pig
let the straw pig in.
Just then the wolf showed up and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!!
So the straw pig and the stick pig went running over to the brick pig's house and said, "Let us in, let us in, the big bad wolf just blew our houses down!"
So the brick pig let them in just as the wolf showed up. The wolf said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." The straw pig and the stick pig were so scared! But the brick pig picked up the phone and made a call.
A few minutes passed and a big, black Caddy pulls up.
Out step two massive pigs in pin striped suits and fedora hats. These pigs come over to the wolf, grab him by the neck and beat the living crap out of him, then one of them pulled out a gun, stuck it in his mouth and fired, killing the wolf, then they got back into their Caddy and drove off.
The straw pig and stick pig were amazed!!! "WOW! Who the hell were those guys?" they asked.
"Those were my cousins... the Guinea Pigs."

Dexter, Weeds, and Tivo
Nov. 8th, 2007 11:01 amOne of my neighbors loves Dexter as much as Matt and I do. If you're not up to speed on the story, it's a Showtime show about a guy who as a kid witnessed his mother's murder and sat in her blood for two days before he was found. As a result, he's become a serial killer, but his adoptive father, a cop on the Miami police force, Harry, taught Dexter to kill people who deserved it rather than kill for killing's sake.
The premise is really interesting. The show is based on an awful book called Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Once in a while, my neighbor starts up a conversation about the show because of something in the show that surprised her, or that she can't wait to see fleshed out. Currently, she's intrigued with the complexities of Dexter's new girlfriend, and is glad to see Rita take the back burner. Matt thinks that Sgt. Doax is a drag queen: His brows are too tweazed...
We still have a Tivo'd episode of Weeds to watch, and that show is getting more and more interesting. The writers (and I'm all for the strike!!) are quite adept at providing REALLY good twists.
Thing is, we just got our new Tivo and Matt's setting it up today. I'm skeptical of the thing and the impetus for Tivo to have offered these new machines. I feel that for lifetime members, they're trying to kill the lifetimers and make them (who are hooked and addicted to Tivo) change to a month-by-month service agreement. But, since we got the digital cable, there have been little glitches that will hopefully be squelched with the upgrade. Thank goodness I'm not as vested in the thing or TV watching as Matt is.
