"Clowns hate tangelos. Messes with their equilibrium"!

You don't watch The Cartoon Network! Have you ever seen The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, which is a totally awesome show? It's a line from the show. I guess it's part of an ad campaign, but it's only playing to people who know the line already, like me. I think.

Nope. . no cable. . .although I DID see the headquarters of the Food Network in the Chelsea Market, or at least what I took for the headquaters. It was morning and it was closed up but I took a pic to send to my mom and brother in CA who watch nothing but food and poker on TV.

Thanks for clueing me in.

And here I thought it was an anagrammatic message exhorting me to attach Glen's woolens.

Hey my husband only watches food and poker on tv too. I think his idea of the perfect show would be to watch Food Channel chefs playing poker and whipping up dishes whenever it's not their turn.

I can't believe there's a wikipedia page about this.

these are billboards for the hip kids in the know and all others who still have their childlike unbridled curiosity intact.

I really like that sentence.

The one near my house says "Hot Toe Picker". I would love to know what the heck that means in context, but I often just keep repeating it to myself on the way to work in the morning.

Well, apparently that was just an ad. Here is the clip from the episode.

P&C - that was good of you - now when I say it to myself, it'll be more along the lines of "it's HOT, HOT, HOT in TOPEKA, I'm a HOT TOE PICKA, TOE PICKER, PICK MY HOT TOE, TOE PIKER. Much better.
