(My parents used to say "duggers" a lot in this context when I was growing up, but to my knowledge I haven't heard them (or anyone else) say it since then. I guess I should say "duggas" given that I've only heard it spoken in their accent and therefore have no proof that it's spelled otherwise. Then again, their Downeastah accents weren't very strong when we all lived in Mass, as they had been outside of Maine for more than a couple of decades at that point, so maybe they actually did say "duggers".)
So, farting around on my work Windows box again. Have Debian on it (yes, nostalgic ADMers, I gave it the hostname
thud
), but I can't actually use it unless I can run WinMSIE on it, as that app is the primary acid test for any software I make here. I know this is possible, probably in any number of ways, so I'll probably just mumble an incantation to summon one of the Bearded Helper Grogs for this task.Didn't get much done this weekend. Went to a Snappy Dance show with

Date: 2004-06-07 11:22 am (UTC)I saw enough Herculoids to recognize the Schmoo, and the triceratops-with-eight-legs thing, but probably not enough to recognize other more detailed references. (Oops, I see it was not the actual Schmoo, but two similar protoplasmic creatures named Gloop and Gleep...) The original run was before my time, and the USA reruns were after my time, but I guess they made occasional appearances in the Saturday morning line-up when I was of the right age.
I have more detailed memories of The Mighty Heroes: Diaper Man! Rope Man! Strong Man! Tornado Man! Cuckoo Man! I guess that's not Hanna-Barbera, though.
