    It isn't in my Oxford dictionary but per Websters on-line dictionary

    Main Entry: wow·ser
    Pronunciation: 'wau-z&r
    Function: noun
    Etymology: origin unknown
    chiefly Australian : an obtrusively puritanical person.

    As for my next show ...

    This inherently violent children's show mollified the censors by including at the end of each show a short safety tip section. Invariably one of the characters would rescue some dumb ass kids after they put their lives in danger doing something mind numbingly stupid. The rescuing character would proceed to provide these kids with safety advise. One of the kids would invariably respond "Now I know" after which the rescuer would respond "And knowing is half the battle."

    It has been suggested that given the nature of these accidents and how quickly the characters show up to help these kids, the characters must have rigged these accidents and sat there waiting for the poor kids to stumble into their traps. I read quite an amusing rant about this the other day, complete with several examples supporting this theory. :lol:

    Either G.I. Joe, or G.I. Joe Extreme, which wasn't really G.I. Joe, just some dumb rip off.

    Yes, it was Gi Joe.

    Here is a link to the rant. Scroll down to the bottom where it talks about the extras included on the DVD. Actually, the whole review is pretty damned funny.

    I never realized that so many Canadian T.V. shows existed which had never aired on US Television.

    I thought GI Joe was some army guy fighting in wars, not a child safety officer. Shows what I know.

    Claiming the right of IJA...

    Each episode of this half-hour program deals with the science and history behind a particular item before presents methods for using the item.

    Connections? I loved that show.


    BTW what does IJA stand for?

    IJA = Impatient Jack-Ass. As per the rules set out a while back...

    If it's your turn, you must respond with a new quote within 1 day (24 hours) to keep the thread going. Otherwise the thread may be hijacked by the next available impatient jackass.

    If the person who's quote you've responded to does not confirm that you are correct within 24 hours of your answer, you are then assumed correct by default, provided no one else chimes in with the correct answer within that time or disputes your answer.

    Hint #1: Just because the host mentions science and history doesn't mean that the primary focus of the show IS science or history...

    Hmmm. I can think of several shows that fit the bill, but knowing Rally's penchant for the FoodTV channel, I'll say "Good Eats"

    Love that show :)

    One of the stars from Cheers is the host of this show where he showcases a particular manufacturer and the product that is made.
