"If you don't know what something does..."

"If you don't know what something does, don't push its buttons."

I heard this new public annoucement for Eureka not long ago today after moving the TV/DVD/VCR/CD combo from the livingroom to the dining nook and reconnecting the TV, the VCR and the DVD player. I was quite bothered because I distinctly remembered having plugged less cables back in than I had unplugged and yet there were no unhooked cables lying around. And everything was working fine. Then I realized I had not hooked up the CD player and that I had distractedly taken its cables into the garage. That works too now. I am so proud of myself. That being said, I wouldn't last 5 minutes in the town of Eureka.

"Don't push that button -- Jeezus, Fred,
Don't push that button! Use your head.
You don't know what it's hooked to, you don't know what it does;
You start that foolin' round and we'll be worse off than we was.
Don't push that button -- Jeezus, Fred,
Don't push that button! Use your head.
Your luck won't last forever, as everybody knows;
I just hope I'm not with you when it goes!"

A filksong worthy of Eureka... As for the above public annoucement, I thought quite appropriate that it was uttered by Fargo. There was an ad for the 2nd season that showed him disappearing into the sky after he accidentally activated one of Henry's gizmos that turns out to be a gravity nullifier.
