Ay, kids these days... this evenings Jeopardy, included the topic 'American Animation' and neither the participants, nor the girls, knew who had made thier first cartoon appearance playing 'Frog Baseball'.

When I told her, she still didn't know who I talking about

I'm usually pretty good at Jeapordy, but have no clue who/what/where "Frog Baseball" is.

[Big RR]

Not sure, but I think frog baseball is baseball played using the frog as the ball.

I saw this with my daughters last night and they both guessed Renn and Stimpy (as did one of the contestants); of course I knew it had to be Beavis and Butthead (but I thought R&S was a good guess).

And I just saw some English dolts on Millionaire

During World War 1 Wilhelm II was the leader of which country?
Austria Poland
Germany Idaho The chump phoned a friend who said "Germany - Kaiser Bill isn't it?"

And the idiot makes the fatal error - said "How sure are you then?" And the phone friend said "Oh. 60% maybe. No wait...(click)"

So he walks with 8000 quid after refusing to "guess". This was a man who looked to be in his forties - not some spotty adolescent who knows his cartoons.

Jade: "I know I'm from Bermondsey and I know that's London, but where is Cambridge?"
Spencer: "It's in East Anglia."
Jade: "Where's East Angular [sic] though? I thought that was abroad."

"The Union Jack is for all of us, but the St George is just for London, isn't it?"
