Today's secret word is...

You know, I had an interesting childhood: I grew up with nuclear holocaust movies, the AIDS crisis, and some of the lamest music ever. It wasn't all bad, though. I had Pee-Wee's Playhouse. This afforded me the opportunity to scream real loud, watch some fucking bizarre-ass cartoons, and generally annoy my dad by barking out that little laugh Pee-Wee had. Then, there was the "unpleasantness" (I think you all know about that to which I refer). The ride was over; the Playhouse closed to me, seemingly forever. Now, it's back on Adult Swim, the after hours bit of Cartoon Network (check your local listings), weeknights at 11:00 p.m. Which brings me to my main concern: is the secret word good only until the end of the day, like Pee-Wee says, or for a full 24 hours like I will need (since the show is on so late and the probability of me talking to someone during that sliver of time is really low) in order to scream really loud? Just like the number of licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know...
