  1. What on earth for?! by FFFish · · Score: 1, Troll

    Frankly, I just don't see any value in being able to search for key phrases out of old Welcome Back Kotter episodes, The King of Kensington, or Three's Company. There's nothing worth looking for in The Electric Company, Rompus Room, or Friendly Giant. The Mutual of Omaha programs were all staged, and aren't worth searching, and The $64,000 Question was rigged, and isn't worth searching.

    Good lord. Here we are, supposedly at the height of human civilization, and Survivor and Friends are the message we're beaming to the future.

    Two hundred years from now, if humanity should last that long, I hope against hope that our descendents look back at us and think "What a bunch of fookin' retards!"

    God help us if they look back and wish for the good old days...

    Fuh, who cares? Now, here's a real question: Where is my penis? I've been looking for it everywhere. I seem to have lost it last time I was poking it around where I shouldn't have been (men's asses, yeah, yeah, I know, shut up). I hope the goat didn't eat it...
