[color=#000000ost_uid0]Woohoo! I guessed TMNT when I was talking to IJD on IRC Sunday. Of course, I guessed every other thing on imdb too, but that's not the point.

[quoteost_uid0]Splinter: And that is how they became the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Raphael: After all that talking, we're technically now the Young Adult Mutant Ninja Turtles.
April: Wow, what a catchy name for a group of talented, yet unknown artists.
Splinter: "The Turtles" was taken.[/quoteost_uid0]
Heh. I'm sure they're very happy together.

And Superfriends? That was just great.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]Sadly, I saw an episode where a whale and gaint squid mutated from the leaking reactor of a nuclear sub. [/quoteost_uid0]

Where do you think I got it from? The voodoo vampire, the black hole with the offswitch and the Titanic eats the lighthouse are all from the show as well (you may remember "The Titanic! She's eating my ship!" from my .sig many months back).

There's cheese, and then there's [iost_uid0]cheese[/iost_uid0].

Matt Groening once said that Saturday morning cartoons are evidence that grownups hate children. Superfriends is a prime example.

[quoteost_uid0]Just the right amount of gay....[/quoteost_uid0]

I was gonna say something along the lines of "no comments about Robin's tights," but I couldn't find room for it amongst all the BatParaphernalia.

[quoteost_uid0]I'd like to say I don't believe it either, but...[/quoteost_uid0]

I've declared a fatwa against the writers.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0="Zeke"]Nobody's got "schrok" so far. Â Hint: It's a reference to something on the site, and it's pretty obscure.[/quoteost_uid0]
Okay, there was a use of the word in a News update, back in August. If that's not it, consider me clueless.

BTW, my earlier comment about Steve Allen [iost_uid0]is[/iost_uid0] correct, though the word used in [iost_uid0]APotA[/iost_uid0] was probably "schronk".[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Got it, Shark -- I was referring to that News update. Â In the August 24 entry, I said "And so ends another week... not with a bang, nor with a whimper, but with a schrok. If you don't know what that sounds like, I can't help you."

Heh. Clever.

Never actually saw [iost_uid0]Lexx[/iost_uid0]. I'm not even sure whether it was shown where I was, but it sounds wonderfully bizarre ... or something.

Also discovered I'd completely forgotten to click on the [iost_uid0]Survivor[/iost_uid0] cheeser, but I think someone may have quoted substantial chunks earlier.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]It was a weird series. Funny, but weird.

Some would say this is because it was developed by Newfies and Germans, but I think it's just the general collective psyche of the cast and crew.

Example:

giant woman stomping around Tokyo
killer vegetables
Oberon, unambiguously gay king of the faeries
brain-eating lizard thingies
the Wozard of Woz
a main character getting killed off by being transfigured into a sort of custard (which is then collected in a bowl)

Had some neat production design during season 3. And way, WAY too many Canadian actors for one series.

(I can't watch Nigel Bennet (Prince) in anything now without thinking he's going to swing an axe or something.)

Good times.[/colorost_uid0]
