I wish, I'd just ramble on about how they should continue the classics

According to Dragontail of TAAU (who actually has met the guy and knows him), he doesn't have an online presence.

I already knew this! My mum told me last week :grin:

. Seriously, what gets scarier is that she knew this from my grandmother (You guys do know that I'm 16, right?)

That being said, it's irritating that I'm at Youth Group when this is on. But I'm sure I can get Mum or my sister to tape it. And if the collector is against the movie, then I'll eat the tape.

Why was the Ben Yee one cringeworthy? I didn't even know it existed.

Just the stupid 'edgy', 'hip' style they used. Damn MTV. I don't think this one will be like that though, from what I've seen it's a relatively straight-shooting show.

Its on the ABC Sheo, I dont think we have to ever worry about anything being hip and edgy. The closest thing the ABC has to hip and edgy is Spicks and Specks, and possible The Sideshow. The Chaser isn't edgy or hip, its downright hilarious (once you get rid of Chaz).

I'll have to try and remember to tape this, Im going out to the Drag Racing at Eastern Creek tonight.

I'll try and watch it if I can.

Iamtrunks: I like Chaz on Chasers myself. The Chasers guys make the Logies worth watching imo.

cool I love seeing other peoples collections and thinking how lucky they are to have the figures I don't and how lucky they'd be if they had the ones I do!

I hope we get some clips!
