    I have a similarly hilarious story.... My almost-four-year-old daughter attends a Spanish-only daycare here in Austin, so she occasionally busts out some EspaƱol on her mom and dad when we least expect it, sometimes even in the form of the familiar "Spanglish." Once, in a crowded restaurant, I was sitting next to her and couldn't resist reaching over and tickling under her chin, which usually results in a wonderful cacophony of toddler-giggle. But that day, she was kinda grouchy, so she yelled, "Daddy, STOP MOLESTING ME!" Luckily nobody heard her, or so it seemed. I hope.

    Im glad you are working on improving BBTV. I have huge issues with the player and rarely stick around to watch whatever it spends hours downloading. I'm on a very fast connection so its obviously the player thats the problem.

    Is it possible to put BBTV episodes on Youtube? Even if you have to double up it would be preferable..

    At least some people would watch them then.

    Anonymous: what are you smoking? We've been publishing each and every Boing Boing Video episode to YouTube for more than a year. I insert the YouTube link at the top of each post.

    These @bbvbox posts are not original content we create, but quick pointers to interesting stuff our guests find on the web.

    What "huge issues" are you having? We don't receive complaints about the Episodic flash player, yours is the first I've heard in some time.

    uhhh, you may be right Xeni. I am a bit retarded these are all Youtube links. Its a gripe I had with the BBTV player and I just ranted a bit but I now see this is about BoingBoingVideo which is apparently a distinct entity from BBTV. Im still getting slow loading times for BBTV (eg Joels post on cameras next to the masthead.) but I guess this isnt really the place. Carry on then.


    PS Smoking bongs.
