You can't honestly expect me to believe that you find that more disturbing than this one:

"Pingywon

I have killed for "Robotech."

[Sparky]

I punched my sister once because I wanted to watch the Muppet Show.

[Brad Grenz]

I punched your sister once cause I wanted to watch the muppet show too!

[Ben Sones]

What Sparky neglected to mention is that her sister wanted to watch the Muppet Show too, and Sparky punched her anyway...

A grim, cautionary tale.

[Sparky]

Well, she got me back -- punched me in the head. And BROKE HER FINGER. My head is harder than Fermat's last theorem.

[Kool Moe Dee]

Except that problem's been cracked. Has your, umm, skull been cracked?

Robotech is dangerous. Having served duly under the dominion of a brother four years older in childhood, you know my skinny ass was relegated to watching cartoons on the shitty B&W in my bedroom, while he got to watch whatever he damn well pleased on the family room color jobbie. YES YES I'M OLD AND WE WERE POOR. Moving on.

I didn't much care having to watch most weekday cartoons on my TV. And he slept in, so I got my surfeit of Saturday morning gems (my schedule was thus: Superfriends, whatever pre-Looney Tunes, Looney Tunes, Dungeons and Dragons, Thundarr). But Robotech was on afternoons, I was smack dab in my teenage years, a proverbial pencil-necked doofus, and there was Robotech. I was already buying the mediocre Comico adaptations featuring some of the worst artists extant in comics at the time (I did buy the odd Macross #1 that featured bogarted cels from the first ep), so I had to see the cartoon. And I had to see it in color. I had been way too young and wimpy to say a damned thing when my favorite cartoon ever, Battle of the Planets (I know, I know, Gatchaman. I'm afraid to buy the DVDs. Does it suck, now?), aired.

But, my brother would have none of it. He just shook his head and changed it to Happy Days. So, I slapped him in his face for the affront and he threw an Electronic Battleship upside my head. It was not as steadfast as Sparky's ever-luvvin' noggin, though. I crumbled like yesterday's cookies. YOU SUNK MY CEREBELLUM!

Yeers later, I discovered to my shock that Gilligan wore red and the Skipper wore blue. Sigh.



Edit: this is an old thread. I hate you all.
