I know you are, but what am I?!*

Funny how time can change things. I was looking through the on-screen guide for my cable, and Pee Wee's Big Adventure was on. No big deal, right? Then I looked at what channel it's on, and it's on HBO Family. That's right, HBO Family. Sure, the movie is relatively family friendly, but I am surprised that it would air on that channel after Paul Reubens' run-in with the law many years ago. (Turns out there is a more recent incident as well.)

Now, I have nothing against the man, and I still find the movie (and his television series, and the original HBO Special that I first saw him in) humorous and witty. I just found it interesting that of all channels, the movie was being aired on HBO's "family" channel.

Yes, I watched the movie while it was on. And yes, I still laughed my ass off at all the things in the movie I always have. It's still effin' hi-larious.
