| That's absolutely hilarious. Can't wait to see what Steven Colbert can do with that. |

Michael Phelps Returns To His Tank At Sea World
ORLANDO—Fourteen-time Olympic gold medalist and SeaWorld main attraction Michael Phelps returned to his seven-million-gallon water tank Wednesday to resume his normal schedule of performing in six shows a day for marine park crowds every day of the week.
Phelps, the 6'4", 200-pound aquatic mammal, and the first ever SeaWorld swimmer to be raised in captivity by foster swimmers (Mark Spitz and Dara Torres), was recaptured by trainer Bob Bowman in a hoop net baited with an entire Dutch apple pie following Phelps' final Olympic event last Sunday. Phelps was then tethered to the rudder of a container ship bound for St. Petersburg, guided down local waterways, and introduced back into his home habitat, the tank in SeaWorld's 5,500 seat stadium, known to park officials and visitors alike as "Phelps' Happy Harbor."

"I see what you did there" what? I don't understand this! As for a review, I hope to have one out by around Halloween, complete with Halloweeny vibe. You'd know what it will be if you frequented the Reader Review board.

From the Wiki page, A running gag is that Hong Kong Phooey is such a respected hero that when his incompetence caused him to crash into, harm, or otherwise inconvenience a civilian, the passerby declares what an honor it was to have so interacted with "the great Hong Kong Phooey." For example, he drives the Phooeymobile through some wet cement, splattering the workers, who say that it was an honor to have a whole day's work ruined by "the great Hong Kong Phooey."
That looks like a funny show, I'd like to check it out sometime.

Seconded. Although, she's a bit of a youngin' and probably never saw that cartoon before, so I could buy her not realizing she'd done it.
Having seen it on Boomerang a while back, HKP held up all right; there were still some chuckles to be had. It holds up better than the Godzilla cartoon it was paired with in my youth, for what it's worth.
