Alright. I’m either going insane or I have some kind of “Shining” thing going on with the people who come up with television lineups. About a month or so ago, I was waiting for my girlfriend to bring me food at work, and I was singing “They’ll be food around the corner, food around the corner, food around the corner for me,” which is a reference to an old Looney Tunes cartoon about a dog, owned by Elmer Fudd, who is attacked by a flea who sings the song. A couple weeks back, I was waiting for a bus, and I was thinking about an old Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs convinces Elmer that he’s got a disease called Rabbititis. I haven’t seen a Looney Tunes cartoon in quite some time (save for “Duck Amuck,” which I purchased on the Xbox Live Marketplace some time ago), and much to my surprise, there’s a Looney Tunes marathon on Cartoon Network today. The first cartoon that was on when I tuned in was the cartoon with the flea that I thought about a little over a month ago. That was then followed up by the Rabbititis episode of Bugs Bunny. Seriously - first two Looney Tunes shorts that I see in years are the two that I thought of at some point over the last couple months.
Ok, so you say it’s a coincidence. Well, explain this to me - I sometimes get random Family Guy or Simpsons jokes in my head. Over the past week, every episode of “The Simpsons” or “Family Guy” that I thought of a joke from happened to be the episode that aired in syndication later that day. If I’m not mistaken, it also happened with an episode of “That 70’s Show” at some point last week as well.
This used to happen to me all the time when I was younger, though more with music videos or songs on the radio than television shows. I like the fact that this happens to me, but it’s starting to get kind of creepy…
