    That’s from “Robot Chicken,” Seth Green’s action figure stop-animation sketch show on adult swim. Great show.

    Robot Chicken, especially the second season, hits far more than it misses, and that was one of the better bits so far. New episodes Sunday night at 11:30 pm on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.

    I was soooo depressed. Its frickin’ raining on Memorial Day weekend. I figured I’d check into RI one more time.

    Then I clicked on this link (it took forever to load and play, I have a 400mHz iMac from the Stone Age).

    I laughed. I cried. I feel better.

    I think I’ll get another beer and watch some more cable.

    Too bad I don’t have cable. :(

    Did you notice…

    … the Emperor seems voiced by Seth MacFarlane?

    … the telephone rings are similar to the ones of 24?
