Welcome Parker 151,

Thanks for your post! I hope you realize that this is your last--- naw,just
kidding! I'm glad that you got to see that stuff and you laughed.
I've talked extensively about this subject.Here's a little of the story.

All the stuff you see or hear from when I was on-- ended 11 plus years
ago.Some of the audio replays are from 16 years ago.I got out when I was
at the peak of my radio career.You rarely get a second chance to go out
on top like that.I was all done with it in 1995.I started in Boston in
1981.That's 25 years ago.I'm a radically different guy than I was then.But
it's so pissa' to see this ''internet arguement'' continue until people's
fingers fall off.I'm just tending my garden and when a few A-holes attack
me over this stuff,I just give 'em the old ''digitus impunicus.''

I'm thisclose to selling my show--''Billy Bastard--Amateur Human Being,''
And the other good news is that they're doing 26 new episodes of
''Futurama'' for TV and we're hammering out the deal now.The original
plan was to have the DVD's first but that's no longer the case.I'm totaly
jammed dude.

Greetings from the year 3000! It still sucks!

Billy



as Bender would say, Oh... your... God!

I loved Futurama when it was on Fox, but lately they (Fox) have managed to even make Family Guy suck (even if it's not directly Fox's fault). Futurama, towards the end of its run, was starting to get a LOT worse than the earlier episodes. I have little hope for this (but I'll surely still watch it).

Well, they could have also told him to STFU so as to not ruin their negotiations. Who knows. Either way, we are getting some form of new Futurama so all is good.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.
