I used to watch it every Sunday!

Immense, eh? Started over here, we sold them the format. I consequently attended a recording, only to find that they were taping some of the American version at the same time. Could not BE-LIEVE who I was seeing.

My god...is there anything nerdy that I won't watch? Oh yea Star Trek Voyager and Anime.

Me too!

Stuffing hell it's like the Big Bang Theory brought to life.

I didn't even know you guys got WWE let alone watched it?
p.s. My parents are awesome too. :)

I prefer WWF. Those panda fights are awesome and not staged, as far as I know.

-Bill Watterson (created Calvin and Hobbes) the guy got to create a now classic cartoon strip that was funny and intelligent. He also retired before it got old, and kept his integrity by refusing to sell off his character to marketing (t-shirts and stuff).

Love Calvin and Hobbes.

I don't think the geeks on Big Bang Theory would like WWF(/E)...

Would they?

Probably not, no. But I assumed it was the extent of our geekdom rather than the subject matter, to which was being referred.

(This week's new ep is fab. And thanks to the writers' strike, we're only two episodes behind! :))

In that case, continue...

The last one I saw was the physics convention. (which was my favourite so far.)

Ah, you're running a little behind then. That was episode 9. E4 just premiered episode 11 this evening. Episode 13 broadcast in the US on Monday night.

I refuse that name. It's WWF.

WWF is the Worldwide Fund for Nature.

They changed it from World Wildlife Fund because they couldn't translate Wildlife into some other languages.

That's your lesson for the day.

And, like university, it's a lesson where I'm told something I already know.

Unimpressed

I'll translate it into Welsh if you want. Newport docks on a Saturday night. See, easy.

And I'm doing some work for WWF at work.
