OK, what the hell happened to my circumflexes?
In Dreamweaver my Bâby's are right as rain, but when I bend over (loading them in IE) there's a stabbing pain (they turn into capital betas).
10 points for naming the reference, and 100 points for telling me why they got messed up.
No fonts were harmed in the creation of this problem.
Greg,
I checked the Player Stats and also the 2003 stats... both show up fine in Mozilla on OS X. Could be an IE thing... but since Age's work on here, maybe he (or someone else) could tell you why it's not in IE.
-10 cause I don't get the reference :-/

Bless you, my child.
Ms. McGill (no tea jokes) is awarded 100 points and extraordinarily good karma for correctly diagnosing the problem!
10 points are still on the line, and I'll be very impressed if anybody under the age of thirty nails it. Oblique hint: there is a Cornell hockey connection involved.
Tea jokes? ::shifty:: ::help::
Glad that solved your problem!

No, I didn't know that, but Google did. Do I get partial credit?

I'm assuming that's actually an Ess-Zett (German sharp S, i.e., ß).

Robb, you don't win jack because you cheated, however it appears someone can still earn, say, 25 points by giving the context of the quotation (a cursory search of the Net suggests it won't help you).
I'm probably going to look stupid for asking this, but...what exactly is the part of the first post that is making the reference, which obviously I don't get?
"When I stand up I'm right as rain
But when I bend over, there's a stabbing pain."
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
Dang, and I need a few more points for the championship, too! :-(
If I hadn't been away on vacation, the Underdog points would have been mine...mine...mine!!
See what happens when you go to Maine?
Serves ya right.
Are you waiting for someone to go to the Underdog archives at the Museum of Television and Radio, or are you going to tell us the context, Greg. ;-)
(Can you ::help:: us out, Anne?)

Sorry, BRA, but I thought Greg's explanation would do. Here's a version for the Underdog-impaired.
In one episode, Underdog has trouble saving the day, criminals run rampant, and Sweet Polly Purebread is endangered because, as he repeatedly says:
[Q]"When I stand up I'm right as rain
But when I bend over, there's a stabbing pain."[/Q]
Warning, spoiler ahead.[/B]
As it turns out, someone has dropped a sword down Underdog's back (under his cape and Shoeshine Boy outfit), and it only stabs him when he bends over. In the end, the sword is discovered and the day is saved by little old Underdog.
That's all I remember, but I could do a little research if you're still dissatisfied.
Shouldn't TV Land, or Nick at Nite, or Cartoon Network be showing Underdog at this point?
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Anne.

Underdog is on Boomerang, the Cartoon Network affiliate that shows classic cartoons. It can be found on Directv on channel 297. It is on at 10:30 PM Central time for all you Underdog fans.
Dang, that's one of the handful of channels (along with VH1 Classic) that's not in my almost-but-not-quite-completely-expanded package.
I can't resist to nitpick, because Anne is almost never wrong.
In the episode in question, Underdog rescues a cache of stolen swords. He carries them back to their owner in his cape but forgets one (Underdog, for all his charms, was always one milk bone short of a meal). Hence, his bending over pains.
Of course, this is nothin' compared to Sweet Polly's unbelievable idiocy during the "balloons" epsiode. Hopefully, those two will never have puppies.
