My little one saw the trailer the last time we were at the movies. She said we were going. So we will.

Ah, seven year olds.

NDD...you're going to get your wish.

Come this Fall, you're going to be seeing Drill Sergeants, dressing up their young recruits as Underdog.

I echo what Col. Jack said....

I picked that up as a nickname courtesy of Bill Parcells when we played ball in highschool. Then, as nicknames do, it "morphed" into Mimo and everyone thought I was adopted by an oriental couple because many thought it was my last name.

Bro- pm me - I have 2 Underdog VCR tapes, the originals - with Simon Bar Sinister, That evil Cat, Sweet Polly. Yours if you want them, might be kick for the little people (THE KID, and your charges). I think there are 4-6 total episodes and a couple of special clips.

Don't let the barbarian, uncultured non-18D's get to you, Underdog is the shizzle - right up there with Rocket J. Squirrel, Bullwinkle J. Moose, Mr Peabody and his Pet boy Sherman, Fractured Fairy Tales, and Marvin the Martian.

Bah on the Philistines who dis the Dog!

One of my all-time fav's was Commander McBragg.

(elbow propped on high wing backed leather chair, tugging on pipe, ascot tight)

McBragg: "Roight Livingston... there I was, in the Congo surrounded by fuzzy-wuzzies!"

Livingston: "And what did you dooo Commander!?!"



"Quite!" Classic.
