You're So Old Jokes part 1 a list of you are so old jokes and you're so old jokes. Your so old you got your mail with a carrier pigeon. You're so old your phone. Pin this on Pinterest! Christmases in my house are very different from the Christmases I had as a child. My mother would shower us with giftstoo many giftstoo.

As an adult, I didn’t know any other way, so when my children were young, I did the same thing. Dozens of gifts and hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars spent. It wasn’t until the year after my divorce that I realized how crazy my holiday shopping had been.

That first year…not only did my children get a dozen gifts from me…but they got a whole bunch from their dad…. All of a sudden, my kids were up to their ears in gifts! And the worst part is…if you asked them what they got for Christmas. In 2. 01. 1, I put a stop to the crazy holiday spending and told the kids that they would now receive only 4 items from me. Only 4. I fully expected a coup d’etat to take place…but guess what…they were cool with it. They didn’t even complain once! So now every Christmas, my kids get the 4 items you see listed below (plus, this Christmas Eve Gift!).

And here’s what I’ve found…they are more grateful for the gifts they do get…they remember each gift and we get to spend more time together as a family instead of picking up wrapping paper! I dare you to take the 4 Gift Christmas Challenge this year: Something they want.

Something they need. Something to wear. Something to read. I think you will be surprised at how well your children respond to this new kind of gift giving!

The Bugs Bunny Video Guide. PART ONE - PART TWO - PART THREE - PART FOUR. In April 2. 00. 0 a team from Warner Home Video- -including Paul Hemstreet, Jim Wuthrich, Mike Finnegan with the programming division, Mike Radiloff with marketing, and others- -participated in an online chat.

All the group could say was, "We hope to release something along the lines of Vintage Looney Tunes Compilations in 2. While Looney Tunes enthusiasts of all ages and walks of life eagerly awaited news on the DVD front, Warner Home Video spent the rest of 2. VHS. The one exception came in late July when the label issued a second DVD of Space Jam for $2. Very little changed this time around, although at least the movie was being presented in widescreen. The DVD's lone noteworthy special feature was a newly recorded commentary with director Joe Pytka and special guests Bugs and Daffy.

The lack of any classic cartoons or really anything referencing vintage material wasn't giving fans any hope for the cartoons on the format. On the same day of Space Jam's reissue, Warner Home Video also issued its final entry in the Looney Tunes Presents line. With such extremely popular characters as Tweety, Bugs, and Marvin already given a spotlight, it was all but inevitable as to who would be next. Taz's Jungle Jams sadly didn't promise much that was new; it couldn't, given the Tasmanian Devil's very limited filmography, all of which had already been included in the Stars of Space Jam series just four years before. Priced at just $1.

VHS price point the label was testing) and issued in a Taz- like brown clamshell case, Warner tried desperately to drum up enthusiasm for what was essentially a double- dip.

Watch Quarantine Download Full there. When the title had originally been announced back in March, things looked quite promising with the bonus selections. The Beaky Buzzard cartoon The Lion's Busy had only been available in the mail- order Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition series through Columbia House. The Chuck Jones musical one- shot Nelly's Folly had only been released on laserdisc. And though the Bugs cartoon Apes of Wrath was a double- dip, the other Bugs title announced was the much- requested Bushy Hare featuring a wild Australian native. Unfortunately, the announced content list was changed just a month later.

Of the four extra cartoons, all but Apes of Wrath had been swapped out with less- anticipated films. The 1. 93. 7 Friz Freleng Merrie Melody The Lyin' Mouse was new to VHS but hardly as sought- after, while Gorilla My Dreams and Dough for the Do- Do were dusted off once again for video release. Ultimately, the switcheroo made the pointless repeat- filled Taz's Jungle Jams all the more unnecessary. The once- promising Looney Tunes Presents line ended without celebration, while plans for a Road Runner compilation in the series never materialized. The final Looney Tunes releases of 2. Warner Home Video's curious disinterest in the franchise, as neither release contained any classic cartoons.

Bugs Bunny's Halloween Hijinks came out in September for $9. Instead of a collection of spooky cartoons in the vein of the Looney Tunes After Dark laserdisc, the video simply combined the two previously released Halloween TV specials, Bugs Bunny's Howl- oween Special and Bugs Bunny's Creature Features, and packaged them in a kid- friendly clamshell case. Slightly more promising was the first ever direct- to- video Looney Tunes movie released that same month, Tweety's High- Flying Adventure. Produced by the team behind the inventive Saturday morning series The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, the full- length movie found Tweety defending Granny's honor from Colonel Rimfire(!) by going around the world and collecting paw- prints from eighty different cats.

Almost every Looney Tunes star made a cameo one way or another, including such characters as Bugs who never appeared on the Saturday morning show. It was an entertaining effort that tried to appeal to fans of the classic cartoons, but it was hardly a substitute for the original material. Priced at $1. 9. 9. Warner Home Video embarked on a major promotional campaign for Tweety's High- Flying Adventure, but strangely the movie was only released on VHS. Considering it was a brand new production, no further mastering work would have been needed to issue a DVD version, but alas the label seemed to have wanted to hold off any Looney Tunes release on the format for the time being (save for Space Jam). Tweety's High- Flying Adventure did make its way to DVD soon after its video release, but only in Japan.

It would be the first of a number of interesting digital releases to come from that country. The year ended just as it had begun, with vague promises pointing to a vague future. At the industry- wide Studio Day press event in November in Studio City, California, Warner Home Video announced a number of grand DVD plans for many of its popular movies. In addition to DVD releases of the studio's various Stephen King- related movies and its Tim Burton films, Warner also promised that "a Looney Tunes collection" was on its way soon, with no date or further details attached to that. At this point, even the press covering the event chalked it up to another "next year" brush- off.

In April 2. 00. 1, while the rest of the world was focusing on the completion of the historic merger between Time Warner and America Online, Columbia House announced plans for a second and final wave of videos in its Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition series. Five new volumes were issued to continue subscribers' collections, with the first one arriving in late June, and again with Jerry Beck serving as a programming consultant and liner- note scribe.

Unlike the history- focused compilations of the first assortment, the five new videos were all character- based. Bugs got his own dedicated collection with Wabbit Tales, which contained an odd mix of lesser Bugs material like Elmer's Pet Rabbit, Mad as a Mars Hare, and Box Office Bunny along with one VHS debut, Compressed Hare. Everyone's favorite duck and pig were paired up in Porky and Daffy, which strangely only featured eleven cartoons (an all- time low for the series) but at least featured a number of unreleased black and white shorts such as Plane Dippy, Porky's Bear Facts, Naughty Neighbors, and Porky's Prize Pony, among others.

Three videos were also released featuring a variety of Looney Tunes characters. Like with Canine Corps in the first wave, Comic Cat- tastrophies focused on felines, with a great assortment of cartoons debuting on VHS such as Catch as Cats Can, Bell Hoppy, It's Hummer Time, and both shorts starring Robert Mc. Kimson's oddball lazy cat Dodsworth. Cartoon Superstars tried to feature as many different characters as possible, including such double- dipped character clashes as Dog Pounded and The High and the Flighty but also such debuts as The Million Hare, Fastest with the Mostest, and The Squawkin' Hawk. Finally, A Battle of Wits took a look at chases and rivalries, debuting such fan- favorites as Zoom at the Top, A Fox in a Fix, and the black and white Daffy's Southern Exposure.

With the Looney Tunes: The Collector's Edition series now over with, fans started to again wonder when the bones they were thrown in the collection would turn into something more substantial- -on DVD. At this point, Warner Home Video seemed content only utilizing clips of cartoons in documentary features on such DVDs as The Iron Giant and Casablanca, using the shorts as mere illustration than as content on their own. After four long years of waiting, fans finally got their wish of seeing uncut classic Looney Tunes on DVD- -but only in Japan. Similar to how Japanese laserdiscs could be viewed on American players, DVDs from the country could also be watched in the United States.

All one had to do was configure their Region 1 DVD player to also play Region 2 discs; tricky, but not impossible. Watch The Life Of Emile Zola Full Movie.
