Unleashed

This Unleashed Luke Skywalker was one of the first of the Unleashed series to be made. If you want to invest in a good action figure the Unleased have been good investments so far. They sell for about $14.95 and some have Quadrupled or more in price. They can be tough to find, but that's part of the fun of collecting. This is #2 on my Aquire list.


Futurama

Hey, I am asking people to start a letter or e-mail writing campaign to FOX to get them to put Futurama back on. Please help me. E-mail them at: askfox@foxinc.com

Here are some of the reasons I listed for renewing the show:

1. It was on TOO early the first time around. They had it on at 6:00pm BEFORE the Simpsons. Now there's a lovely time slot between the Simpsons and the Family Guy.

2. Why not repeat Cartoon networks success by pairing up Futurama with the Family Guy?
Most of America now already associate the two together.

3. Any marketing or rating genius can see that since they placed the live action piece o' crap between the Simpsons and the Family Guy, that ratings have slipped. Ratings can only be helped or improved by placing Futurama in this time slot and removing the piece o' crap.

4. Because it is/was one of the funniest shows ever.

5. Anything else you might think to add.

Go out and bring some great sarcasm and full belly laughs back to FOX!

SAVE FUTURAMA!!!!

why

I work a retail job as some of you may know. It's not a retail job like wally world, where you expect that every 9 out of 10 people that walk in are morons. No, it's a book store. I won't say which one, but the one Jeb Bush probably wouldn't pick. Some bright person actually called today and asked to speak to the astrology dept. And they were serious. The ASTROLOGY department.....oh, hold on, let me see if Madam Ruby is still here or if she's gone home for the day. GEEZ! I love the calls..."CAn I speak to someone in the Book Dept.?" What! We are a freakin' BOOK store! And how many of our customers DON'T understand what Out Of Print means? I know sometimes when you work somewhere you get used to the lingo, but come on people, f-n THINK! Out Of Print. What does Out of Order mean? Do you continue to put quarters in the machine? Out of print means they don't PRINT it anymore. DUH! When I say, "oh, I'm sorry, it looks like we can't order it for you because it has gone Out Of Print.", your reply should not be, "What does that mean?" or, "So you can't get it?" THAT's WHAT I JUST SAID!!!! Maybe some of Those people don't know that they even PRINT books. They were just put there on the earth all put together in the correct order like that "other" book. I know, I'm ranting, but doesn't anyone use their brains anymore? I admit, sinces Sam's Club moved in next door, our customer IQ has dropped considerably, but it's not just our customers. In the last month, I have been honked at 3 times for making a complete stop at a stop sign in a residental area. Honked at! For stopping at a STOP sign. What the Hell!? Has anyone else encountered this?
