Lebowski Note and Freakalink

The bowling alley in "Lebowski" was located in Hollywood. My friend was there for a farewell party in 2003 (?) just before they tore it down. He said the bartender was getting pissed at hearing, "Another Caucasian, Gary."

H/T to MetaFilter and their link-rich article on Freakazoid.

The replies to that Freakazoid article are made of awesome and love.

My verification word for this post is pigmen. I'm almost afraid to hit the publish button. Somewhere, perhaps in another dimension, I'm releasing hordes of pigmen to do, who knows what....

I miss Freakazoid, Animaniacs, and especially Looney Tunes. Why cartoon network thought it would be a good idea to take those off air is beyond me. Why WB doesn't make more of them is an even greater mystery. I wish I could talk to the people responsible for these choices. And by talk I mean hit about the head with something large and wooden until in a vegetable state.

So finally just caught Dini's "Legends of the Bat-Mite" episode of Brave and the Bold, and was severely enjoying the Freakazoid-like nods. Have you had a chance to catch it? There's a great revisit to the Comic-Con joke in there...

JP Mac said...

I have not.

Where did you see it?

Cartoon Network aired it last week and my Tivo was kind enough to pick it up for me. But there's several clips online. A couple of my favorites:
