They've changed the site again!? I should have seen it coming sooner, first they changed the episode guides to where the seasons and episodes were in decending order instead of ascending. (what for?) And now they've gone and changed the home page from "hard to use" to "ridiculously hard to use," I mean the changes they've made to the member menu are stupid, it used to be where if I wanted to go to a certain favorite show of mine, I'd click on an easy to find menu and select the show I wanted. Now I have to roll my mouse over my now hard to find name and select the show from an overly large dropdown menu. (I have to do the same thing to check my messages, check my queue (I'm an editor), get to my profile, change my preferences, etc...)

I think the people in charge must be on drugs or something.

Disclaimer: This is not my work, I found it on a joke website.

Cartoon Law I

Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.

Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further land. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over.

Cartoon Law II

Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter intervenes suddenly. Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease.

Cartoon Law III

Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter.

Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyses this reaction.

Cartoon Law IV

The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.

Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it inevitably unsuccessful.

Cartoon Law V

All principles of gravity are negated by fear.

Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch the ground, especially when in flight.

Cartoon Law VI

As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once.

This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that are spinning or being throttled. A `wacky' character has the option of self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to achieve the velocity required.

Cartoon Law VII

Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel entrances; others cannot.

This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generations, but at least it is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science.

Cartoon Law VIII

Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent.

Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed, accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they re-inflate, elongate, snap back, or solidify.

Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container.

Cartoon Law IX

Everything falls faster than an anvil.

I just finished watching The Batman Vs. Dracula last night, and at the end I was wondering what Batman did with Dracula's ashes.

Well, after thinking about it (way too much), I finally figured out that he put the ashes in the container that he gave to Superman. (you know, the one that he threw into the sun which was supposed to have kryptonite in it?) Thus the lead container would have melted and Dracula's ashes would have been exposed to sunlight for all eternity!

I clearly have too much time on my hands.:P

Well, simply put, I hate it....

Fine, I'll elaborate.

1: All the extra white hurts my eyes
2: I liked being able to see the pictures on top of the shows' pages, now they don't have that.
3: The Boards look messed up
4: Did I mention the extra white hurts my eyes?
5: The page layout used to be more streamlined in my opinion. Heck this looks more like the old tvtome.com than it should. (kind of a step backwards, don't you think?)

This is all just my opinion, but I wonder how many people will feel the same way.

(NOTE: I didn't get this up right away because my blog wasn't working at the time of change)

Yeah, some people may not know or care about this, but I'm the editor for the Mega Man page on tv.com. But I'm just bored because there's hardly anyone who watches the show and is a member of tv.com, thus I rarely get submissions, the boards never have any posts on them, and the one person who was a fairly regular contributor hasn't posted anything since I made him trusted contributor. Go figure.

I don't really expect people to watch the show or even go on the boards because of this blog, I'm just venting my semi-frustration.

This is actually a mix between a rant and an opinion, but anyway...

I was on one of the boards the other day, and I asked someone if they knew where I could find episodes of a certain program online. Some time later, I was modded for asking where I could find episodes of a copyrighted program online.

The only thing was the show was only available in Japan (TV wise). So asking if I could find episodes with english subtitles that can't be found either in Japan, the US or even on imported DVD was somehow cutting into the company's profits? I think not. This has happened to me with other shows too, ones that aren't shown on TV anymore, have season DVDs of them, or weren't even popular enough to warrant being put on DVD or into syndication! (there were even episodes that weren't shown on TV because of some weird reason that they were upset about)

So I think people really need to get a life about what they mod people for.

Various people have commented about my seemingly nonsensical name. The reasons why I put this name down instead of something cooler sounding is because, for one; If I did find a cool name, odds are someone would have already taken in by now, and I really don't like the idea of pasting meaningless numbers onto my name.

Two; my user name is important to me because it contains the first two initials of me and my siblings in order of our ages. (Joshua Wade (me), Grace Rebecca, Loretta Rachel, Ruth Anna, and Joseph Nathaniel)

So, next time you see someone with a wierd screenname, you can assume that it's somehow important to him/her. (unless it's something like: qwertyuiop, asdfghjkl, or zxcvbnm)
