Have you ever watched early early cartoons, Aqizzar? Stuff like Thundarr, the Barbarian?

OOKLA THE MOK

Yeah, I've seen Thundarr the Barbarian.  Oddly, I've only seen a handful of episodes from the original Transformers and G.I. Joe and so forth, except for the stuff that got replayed on Cartoon Network all the time a decade ago.  I'll be honest though, except for old-ass Looney Toons, I'm not that familiar with cartoons before the early 1990s.  Surprise surprise, I remember contemporary stuff from my own childhood.

...lot's of stupid anthropomorphic kritters ran around blowing things up, saving the day, trying to take over the world, or just generally being morons.

Has anyone else ever wondered why from 1989-1996ish, so many shows did that?  What was it about humanimals that made them so popular with animators for that little period of time, after kinda disappearing since the 1960s?  I kinda know why they stopped, but the damage was done I suppose.

Saying 'you feel old' when you're only 16-24 is kind of stupid.

I feel old relative to Jack.  It just tugs at something deep in me to know that there's people I can hold a genuine conversation with who weren't conscious during Bill Clinton's reelection campaign, or don't remember the Y2K bug in all its glory, or who didn't beat the crap out of their friends on a regular basis watching the original American-adaptation of The Power Rangers.

Don't worry bro, I'm still here.  I did all those things.

Remember Hale-Bopp?  I remember that mofo.  Most boring once-in-a-lifetime event ever.

See, I was waking up during Clinton, barely remembered the Y2K bug, but didn't really get what it was about (I got better), and thought the Power Rangers were the shit.

But yeah.  Silly furies, spent too much time in front of the TV watching those shows.

About Thundarr:  I just was watching some of this week, and I realized that they only had like 4 voice actors.

Well feeling old relative to someone is fine. I meant like feeling old in general.

My father once told me when he was a kid, he thought 30 was old, because that's around the age his parents died.

But when he reached 30 himself, he realized he still had the whole rest of his life to go through, a good 50-70 years more.

At any rate, as far as I can tell, most cases have it so age doesn't really start affecting you til you're in your 40s or so.

Because really, the thread wouldn't be complete without blatantly stealing XKCD's bandwidth.

If it weren't for this forum, which was like the gateway to the internet for me, I'd still be calling people fags and giggling away on MSN. So really, it's partly your fault.

Yes. This place as well as, surprisingly, 4chan, seem to use perfect grammar the majority of the time.

Going elsewhere and seeing "u no u can get that ez lulz" is quite aggrivating now.

In other news: The fact my vocabulary is generally larger than most people I know is nice, although it seems to fall short when I come here.

Edit: My dyslexia on the other hand, does not make me happy.

Sig'd. That's worth people reading if they ever glance at it.

The child part of my childhood is a crushed, bloody mess of weeping humors.

And I'm like, three years out of it.

Now that I think of it, I also knew a 13 year old with the literary skill of a Professor in Yale, and he acted just as well.

But he was also asian and we come to expect that from them.
