If you used to watch a certain morning channel until some time ago, Agro was
the co-host and puppet on a TV show which ran cartoons with this puppet and
his sidekick/volunteer from the audience joining in. Somewhat wild in
places, goofy in others, they eventually stopped showing it.
Good show, *if* you were a kid. Otherwise, time for that mute button on the
remote! ;-)
Cheers ...

| (...) What is "agro"? (...) FWIW, I haven't noticed any recent changes -- other than the usual flare-ups of debates that happen from time to time. Sometimes they seem like changes because they take things by storm, but they've been here since day 1 (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
