Well, did you stop the fat man before he finished making his wabbit stew?

(I'm checking "TV Guide", but I can't find any cooking shows starring
Arthur Q. Bryan... However, I do see that Casey Kasem and Frank Welker
will be making Scooby Snacks, and June Foray will be frying squirrel.
Why did my cable company decide to combine The Cartoon Network and
The Food Network?)

           Also, they renamed it the "Emergency Alert System" a few years ago,
           presumably because some people have cable TV now instead of just
           picking up broadcasts with an antenna.  Personally, I think they
           should go back to "CONELRAD", just because it's a lot of fun to
           say the word "CONELRAD" in any sort of cartoon voice.

           It's even more fun to hear Elmer Fudd spell out the whole thing,
          "Contwol of Ewectwomagnetic Wadiation".
