IT DID?

[whodaimen]

[Davey Rootbeer]

Or maybe a Green one?


Maybe it will be a BIG monster.

Maybe it will be a teeny monster.

a Fancy monster?

[KLEIN]

[Meat Load]

I hated that book when I was 5.

I was all psyched to see the monster at the end that Elmo's so afraid of and it turns out to be himself. What a letdown.

[Takker]

turn to page 25 to take the right path of the maze. turn to page 56 to take the left path

[Zorkporker]

Read about this and other crappy childrens books now on sale at your local goodwill (http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0901/)

[Takker]

I love goodwill. I was there a couple of weeks ago and saw this pretty homecomming dress, but it was too small for me and I wasn't planning on going to homecomming anyway because it sucked last year.

[Zorkporker]

Yeah DUH!
See elmos all short and red.
And grovers all tall and blue.

[whodaimen]

I had a book, where grover gets like covered in tape or something

[Zorkporker]

I had a book, where grover gets like covered in tape or something

"The bondage fetish pictures at the end of this book."

When I was younger, my parents bought me little kids books on "going potty" ...

That may not be something you want to own up to on a public message board.

Whatever. Like I'm going to remember every detail of that shitty book.

what the fuck trogg you are the worst person ever

[Meat Load]

At least I don't obsess over crappy children's books starring TV puppets.

<i>Like some people I know.</i>

hey

HEY

it is a childhood memory and i'll thank you not to shit all over it with your negativity

[Meat Load]

I'm sorry, man. I didn't realize it was so deeply rooted in your past.



<i>stifled laughter</i>

[reef]

WELL IT IS

IT WAS A FANTASTIC BOOK WITH A SURPRISE ENDING

[Meat Load]

IF YOU SAY SO

SHEESH MAN GET OFF MY BACK ABOUT THIS

[Takker]

I had a book, where like, monsters were in all different colors, and they would hide in something that was the same color as them, but one of them was a multicolored monster and he couldn't hide anywhere, but then he found out that he could, in fact, hide in a wildflower patch, or a colorful crowd, etc.

[banky]

That may not be something you want to own up to on a public message board.

Whats they worst they could do? Some obvious joke about me getting them 1-2 years ago or the something about them not working? Pffsh.

[Retard Girl]

I remember The Monster at the End of This Book fondly. I had gained a sadistic glee from turning the pages when he told me not to.

[KLEIN]

I too loved that book.

Anyone who didn't love anything related to sesame street is a person with no soul.

[Retard Girl]

That was basically my ONLY connection with Sesame street. My family couldn't afford cable until about fourth grade.

[banky]

Three letters ...

P B S.

Its free.

[Retard Girl]

We didn't have a TV either.

EDIT: I remember, we did have a TV, but we only ever used it for videos.

And we might have cable in very early years, as I remember being a fan of Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles, but I don't ever remember our family having enough money to pay for it. My memory sucks. I know that there was this long length of time before fourth grade when we couldn't afford cable and thus we never watched TV.

[Takker]

my mom said I loved sesame street. I don't remember that. I DO remember loving barney and power rangers and thomas the train engine

[banky]

Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles were on a free local channel as well, in my area.

I wanted to hump the Pink Ranger. Anyone else think the fact that the Yellow Ranger was asian was kinda funny?

[BeastDad1987]

I too loved that book.

Anyone who didn't love anything related to sesame street is a person with no soul.
I <i>hated</i> Sesame Street. I don't even know what TV I watched before I was six, but I know that as soon as I turned six, it was all about video games for me. The only purpose the TV had after that was to watch the Sonic shows.

I probably just watched Totoro over and over again.

[Takker]

pfft. whatever, Iodine. WHATEVER

did anyone hate Mr. Rogers as much as I did?

[Vile]

More like mr dress up.

[Meat Load]

Guys, guys.

Bill Nye.

Best kid's show ever.

[banky]

Ive met Bill Nye. He's an asshole. Always acted like he was trying to just get out of the room as fast as possible.

[Forever Finite]

i hate finding out that someone is an asshole. i just don't want to hear that crap.

[banky]

GAH! No more Land Before Time avatar!

[Forever Finite]

it was a two day thing. joke's over.

[banky]

Aw ... not only did you get rid of it, but now you burst my bubble telling me you had it as a joke.

Boo.

i can't talk to you anymore takker.


:(

[BreadObama69]

thomas the tank engine takker
does anyone else remember plain old shining time station?

with such characters as scheamer, and little scheamie?

the wise indian and that woman from grease?

and best of all ringo starr as the conductor for some of the shows...

and george carlin on the others.

yeah. george carlin.

on a kid's show.

george carlin

kid's show

[Takker]

i can't talk to you anymore takker.


:(oh ok. but I still hate him.

[MST3Kakalina]

why? his show was so calming, and he showed you stuff and it was fun, and you learned, and...and...


i cried when Mr. Rogers died. =C

[BreadObama69]

mr. mcfeely.

why? his show was so calming, and he showed you stuff and it was fun, and you learned, and...and...

he was so boring though. I couldn't stand watching him.

does anyone remember lambchop?

[BreadObama69]

yes! charlie horse was the best character on that.

but shari louis has died.

[banky]

This is the song that doesnt end ...

[Meat Load]

Lambchop was the second-best kids' show ever.

[BreadObama69]

This is the song that never ends.
It just goes on, and on my friends.
Some people started singin' it not knowing what it was.
And they'll continue singin' it forever just because...
This is the song that never ends....ETC

[t3]

thomas the tank engine takker

jeez people really need to get their childhood priorities straight.

Damn straight. Man, how many train derailings did I bear witness to as a lad? Kids today don't get that sorta stuff from this "JayJay the Jetplane" shit. Have I mentioned how downright HIDEOUS those characters are? I mean damn.

I remember a Sesame Street book where Ernie thought there was something out to get him, but he was looking at something inanimate the whole time or some crap like that. I dun really remember.

As for Mr. Rogers, the Trolley was the only neat thing about the show. I mean, where the hell did it come from? How did it come by those interdimensional travel powers? Therte could have been tons of backstory about it, but they left it a total mystery. It's MYSTERIOUS. Like Mr. Tastey. Which makes it good by default.

Also, I saw a part of Lion King 2 the other day, and there were rivers running UPHILL. I call "no way" on that.

EDIT:


does anyone remember lambchop?

Rrr... I believe this was covered in the porn thread. (corn thread??)

[banky]

Just kinda curious after re-thinking the title of this thread ...

Is the last person to post in it going to be the monster, or is it going to be another crap-shoot with reef just ending up as the monster?

[KLEIN]

Hey.

Shut the fuck up.

[reef]

this thread was more about childhood memories man since the corn thread was taken over by

well

corn

and liz being dumb but that was only for a second

[Forever Finite]

Also, I saw a part of Lion King 2 the other day, and there were rivers running UPHILL. I call "no way" on that.

but, keith. everything is wild and wacky in UPENDI!

like love conquers all, the river conquers gravity. and thus we are a part of the great circle of life.

[Meat Load]

The Lion King 2 was the movie equivalent of the Frankenstein monster.

It was based on something that was great, but assembled crudely from decaying parts and wound up being pure evil.

[Forever Finite]

they can have the world, we'll create our own.

i may not be brave or strong or smart, but somewhere in my secret heart
I KNOW LOVE WILL FIND A WAAAAY.

refrain

like dawn turning into day, somehow we'll come through
now that i've found you.

[kyle!]

that was beautiful....

:U

[Meat Load]

No it wasn't!

That movie was awful!

GRRPOUT

[t3]

The Lion King 2 was the movie equivalent of the Frankenstein monster.

It was based on something that was great, but assembled crudely from decaying parts and wound up being pure evil.

It seemed to me to be a somewhat more upbeat take on Romeo and Juliet, just as the first movie was an upbeat take on Hamlet. "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders" is the true cinematic equivelant to frankenstein's monster. Just as "Chronicles of Riddick" was the cinematic equivelant to huffing spraypaint.

So. Anyone seen the second pokémon movie? Truly that was the one the dodgers wrote! (Sorry. But seeing as how we've already covered TV nostalgia it would seem like a break in tradition if a pokemon discussion wasn't brought up at some point.)

[Meat Load]

Holy shit, I didn't even think of that. Now it all makes sense. Never mind, it wasn't the worst movie ever.

ALSO: I'm assuming you're talking about Pokemon 2000, which was pretty good in comparison with some of the series. The villian was believeable enough, and the addition of Lugia made it more interesting, but Ash's love interest was unnecessary to the max.

[t3]

Yeah, 2000, or the power of 1, or lugia's awakening or WHATEVER it's called. James openly admitted his homosexuality, Oak and Ms. Ketchum's ongoing love affair was made quite evident by Mr. Mime's reactions to Oak's arrival, Madam- er... I mean, Professor Ivy's boobs caused a helicopter to crash, and team Rocket acted all heroic and proved that they are not 1 dimensional cartoon villains.

It had some things going for it, yeah...

[Meat Load]

I need to see that one again. I don't remember all of that.

Almost anything Team Rocket does winds up being funny, though. They're even dumber looking in the movies, because they ususally have to compete with actual, competant villans.

[t3]

Yeah, that's why I wish the new episodes would focus on teams Aqua and Magma more often. That's like the first continuing story arch in Pokemon that hasn't sucked. I mean, if Oak wants Ash to hand-deliver him a Gratuitous Sex ball, fine, but why must lapras have anyhting to do with it? And May's pokemon contests. Jeez. As if they didn't flesh out the gym badge collecting enough already. Now it's like, filler x2.

[Meat Load]

They did have one semi-decent storyline, the one where Misty returns.

But what was the deal with that one where Aqua and Magma are fighting over this ancient tomb, and then Ash finally gets rid of them and opens it and it's full of fucking RELICANTH?! That was such a letdown.

[t3]

Yes. Misty is finally rid of that awful egg. But now Togetic is off plotting world conquest somewhere. Ghudlawd.

When Ash ran in on that volcano and dumped the moon rock into the lava, Team Aqua was all "dude we totally pwned those n00bs" and I was all like "no you just sat there while a 10 year old meathead did your job for you. I mean DAMN." Jeez.

I cannot wait to see the "Pokemon Housou" episodes. I think they're calling them "Pokemon Chronicles" over here, but there's a buncha cool backsotry on characters, and also stuff about supporting cast members when they weren't with Ash. Like how Misty got a Gyrados, how Brock had to save his gym and his idiot dad from an evil water pokemon trainer, and (yeee!) how Jesse James and Meowth met up. RAWK.

[Meat Load]

Pokemon? Without Ash? It's like a dream come true! I'm looking forward to this new season.

[Takker]

Yes. Misty is finally rid of that awful egg. But now Togetic is off plotting world conquest somewhere. Ghudlawd.

When Ash ran in on that volcano and dumped the moon rock into the lava, Team Aqua was all "dude we totally pwned those n00bs" and I was all like "no you just sat there while a 10 year old meathead did your job for you. I mean DAMN." Jeez.

Like how Misty got a Gyrados, how Brock had to save his gym and his idiot dad from an evil water pokemon trainer, and (yeee!) how Jesse James and Meowth met up. RAWK.haha! that volcano one was on this morning and I was thinking the same thing. I mean, team aqua was all like "we foiled team magma's plans" and I was like 'no, you got defeated in battle and wasn't seen for the whole rest of the episode.' lame. anyway, I hate May and Max with a fiery burning passion. May sucks at life and Max is a snobby weenie. Misty was totally cool.

[Vile]

More like Takker and Vile, Takker!

[Takker]

oh yeah. we need kewl anime names. you can be nekoVile and I'll be kawaiiTakker. the ratings will skyrocket

[Meat Load]

I hate how they couldn't think of an original character, so they took one from the games. I can see the Gym leaders, but May as an actual character? She has no personality! She's you!

[t3]

And what's odd is Team Magma went on to kid themselves and say "well at least we foiled THOSE GUYS". Yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself. Team Rocket may not be the most competent bunch around, but at least they can admit when they're beat.
I saw a preview for an episode modeled after the part of the GBA game where the ancient pokemon are awakened and it starts raining and Doomsday is upon us at last. Yet I have seen naught but a silly episode about Lunatone since. WHAT UP WITH THAT??

edit: Yeah and what about that other playable character in the game? Where's he? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to be her rival than this "drew" fella'? I mean, sicne gary is quitting Pokemon training I see the need for a new nasaly cocky rival to get all up in the hero's face and all, but really.

[Meat Load]

That was the probably the Relicanth one. It even had footage of Groudon and Kyogre in the previews, but the episode had nothing to do with them. Which SUCKED.

[Takker]

remember when there was only 150 pokemon? let us reminisce

[t3]

Yeah, but there would have to be 151, by merit of the fact that MewTWO is an altered clone of another Pokémon.

So there.

[Meat Load]

I think the Gold/Silver set was the weakest. I only really got back into the series when Ruby/Sapphire came out.

[t3]

Yeah, what really annoyed me was the striking similarity to Blue and Red, especially starting out. I mean, what's with all this Pidey and Rattata bollocks? Throw that shit away. Zigzagoon? THERE's a pokemon you can set'cher watch to. (Though, Sneasel is a pretty cool pokemon too...)

[Meat Load]

Sneasel, Murkrow, and Scizor were the three best things in Gold/Silver. And maybe Steelix.

[t3]

What about Houndour/Houndoom? They seemed reasonably awesome. (To be honest, I never bothered to get past that bug-catching place...)

[Davey Rootbeer]

The pocket monster at the end of this thread.


We've come full circle, guys.

[t3]

I noticed that, too, but frankly I've been thinking about egg rolls too much to bother saying much else. Damn, now I'm hungry. That's whatcha get for posting in a food thread, I guess...

[Meat Load]

What about Houndour/Houndoom? They seemed reasonably awesome. (To be honest, I never bothered to get past that bug-catching place...)
Them too.

The vague allusions to demons made them kind of funny.

come on guys!

[Neon Tears]

I DO remember loving barney and power rangers and thomas the train engine
I know someone whose band did a cover of the Power Rangers themesong for their demo.

[tass]

I too loved that book.

Anyone who didn't love anything related to sesame street is a person with no soul.
i didn't like sesame street when i was little. so that's what's wrong with me.

[CSMatt]

I'm surprised the rest of you are actually interested in the newer Pokémon stuff. I quit after beating the Jhoto half of Pokémon Gold. Everything just got way to complicated and strategic for me, as well as time-dependent.

[Young Jeff Bridges]

i liked gold and silver over red and blue, and zigzagoon is the dumbest pokemon. ever. that thing pisses me off. that and the new caterpie ripoffs. boooo.

p.s. BOO I'M ACTUALLY THE MONSTER.

[Takker]

you're mistaken. Metapod is the worst pokemon ever.

[Davey Rootbeer]

Metapod! HARDEN!


..HARDEN SOME MORE!

THAT'S RIGHT, GLISTEN WITH THE SWEAT OF MIDDAY HEAT AS YOU CONTINUE TO HARDEN!

GET HARDER! COME ON METAPOD, YOU CAN DO IT!

But but but Linoone is kinda snazzy. And it knows surf! Well... CAN know surf. Ah dunno. I just have an affinity for them normal type pokémon.

I should get a copy of silver or gold at some point...

[Young Jeff Bridges]

butterfree could learn surf
