*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR TRIVIUM ***

  No, you are not going senile.  There was such a show, called 
Winky-Dink.  The kids who watched it bought a plastic screen which they
attach to the TV screen.  This was so that whenver W.D. and his dog got
into a peck of trouble, you could save him (oh no!  winky dink will
fall if you don't draw in a rope!  they would then place a bunch of
dotted lines where the kids where to draw the brige or whatever).
Upon returning from the commercial, W.D. was saved!

  For those of us who didn't have a magic screen, the normal screen and a box
of crayolas worked just fine (much to the anger of our parents!)
