Whoa, amro, you weren't kidding. I don't think even asavage has had that much face time on American network TV.

Wow, congrats. I didn't see it but I'm sure you conducted yourself with all the dignity expected of a Mefite.

Er...arcticwoman... you're lovely and all, but I think you haven't paid attention much. Dignity and MeFite go together like, uhh.... chicken-fried steak and ice cream.

oooooh Mefite dignity, that rare and elusive beast. I've seen it upon occasion, but sometimes it seems more elusive than a free camera on the Internet.

but, on topic. Congrats, if that's what is in order. National face-time indeed.

Oh yeah, sorry. Congrats!

I bet a mefite was on COPS and showed the dignity we're all famous for.

Dignity. Always, dignity.

Cheers amro! Unfortunately I did not see it either, but I'm sure if you weren't on the cutting room floor, then you must have done well!

And not just dignity and congrats, crazy story and the Velveteen Rabbit too.

Hey, that could be good. Maybe not with sweet ice cream, but surely you could make a savory ice cream, maybe with shallots and bacon, and put that on top of some fresh from the skillet CFS. TO THE BATCAVE! Atomic fryers to power... stovetop to speed...

Also congratulations and make sure you get an imdb page.

Is this something I'd need a television to...

um...

Seriously though. I don't have cable. Shouldn't there be like a youtube or google video link or something to the appearance in question? Or maybe a New York Times review of the 20/20 piece or something?

Hey, remember when rcade was on TV? Wasn't that cool? (See how there's no link there? Isn't that annoying?)

20/20 is on ABC, which is network television.

Unless, I guess, you're in Canada. Sorry.

No offense to amro, but come on 20/20 — isn't that story about three years old?
posted by Brittanie at 11:59 PM on January 12, 2007

The new part of the story was that they identified the kid in the photos that were being sent out.

Hmm, serves me right for skimming.

There's a clip of the story on the 20/20 website, but unfortunately only seems to be a small snippet of the segment.

Also, can we get a fix on the facial position of that fish?
