The Catalan/Spanish runs were "uncensored" (whatever was in the Japanese script, afaik). Never watched the English one.

It was a mature-ish show, if you think little kids don't play with their genitals and generally behave like idiots :p My entire cohort watched it every evening, and it's not like the world is burni--oh.

I WISH I could get anime into my kids' diet, but thus far, Pokemon is the only thing to come close.

The worst part was, my daughter got over Caillou... then my son started watching him.... so my daughter started watching him again. *eats Glock*

Thanks to Netflix, my daughter's been into quite a few animes, although she is now suffering through the latter Rurouni Kenshin seasons, as well as going through YuGiOh. My son is crazy about Lego and Angry birds, which led him to Star Wars and us watching all the movies, Clone Wars series and Rebels, together, and got him interested in Harry Potter, Jurassic World and the Hobbit. This Christmas I'm getting him Lego Indiana Jones, and we're gonna watch the movies after playing the games.

But my 4-year old? Backyardigans and some weird clown show from Brazil, now its Pokémon all day long, with the odd Peppa thrown in, and worse, has started marathons of Dora and Diego on Netflix.[DOUBLEPOST=1479913437,1479913330][/DOUBLEPOST]Nothing is freakier then getting out of the shower at night, walking to your living room with a towel on, and have Dora staring out at you from a paused TV screen, awaiting an answer for a question.

Reading a bunch of Silver Age comics recently makes me think....why do new comics have such unimaginative ads? Back then, they'd have new ads for all SORTS of stuff, now its just recycling the same few ads, INCLUDING that one where its Doomsday, but then he eats a Snickers and it turns out to be Wonder Woman-ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE! HIRE SOME AD ARTISTS!

Ads just aren't themselves when they're hungry.

You think that's bad? Try reading the first Rebirth arc of Action Comics, in which Superman is fighting Doomsday, and have that multi-page ad be in the middle of the comic. Very confusing.

So far browsing through years of halforum posts I've discovered that most of the image guys are gone, none of the pre-image board guys remain, some of you have the hots for some of the other users, Gas got his finally well-deserved promotion and a user that looked like me that I saw in Facebook though I was a creepy stalker. Also found weird photos of me cooking, and that's three days.

BTW, where is Tiq?
Edit : none, not nine, good catch.

I bet you're not counting me in any of that. I've gone through 3 or 4 name changes since before image, so you probably have no idea who I am. No, I'm not Tiq. No, I'm not Calleja. No, I'm not anyone you would remember :(

I used to go by another name over on the Image boards. I wasn't one of the big names, but I changed my username across the Internet when some looney-nutbag-goober set his sights on me.

"The holidays are here, and everything in America is going really well. To celebrate Black Friday, Cards Against Humanity is digging a tremendous hole in the earth," the company said. It's as insane as it sounds, but people are already paying up to see the John Deere digger continuously scoop up dirt. So far, the stunt has raised more than $41,000, which means it will be digging a hole for at least the next 32 hours - and that number just keeps climbing. Each dollar donated extends the dig time by about another 1.8 seconds, according to the site. The company has been digging since 12 p.m. CT, and it has already made a decent dent in the ground.

I just got a new Pixel, and I am amazed that even on Google's own phone, Inbox is not the default mail app, instead of the god awful Gmail app. Still waiting for all of my apps to finish transferring before I even glance at my email.

Went to visit our rat's new home. She looks so much better; she had come to look so old and weary when she was alone at our house. Not any more; she looks younger now. She was okay seeing us, but after a while wanted to get back into the cage with the other rats, so she seems to have accepted the new place as her home now. I'm so relieved to see her doing this well.

I'd love to hear the rationale for the exclusion lists I'm coding right now...

A: "Ok, so we all agree--if they've ever failed to pay a highway toll, or parked on a highway, we will not insure them."
B: "What about hit and runs that result in a bodily injury, or motor-vehicle felonies?"
A: "Eh, just put those on the 5-year exclusion window. No big deal."

Could be a legal thing. If there's a law on the books somewhere that says companies are only allowed to refuse to insure someone because of a hit & run for 5 years, but there's nothing about the toll thing so companies get to make up their own rules there.

I'm sure there's a halfway-reasonable explanation for all of it. I just want to know it :p

Another one that cracked me up (different state/carrier): Hit and Run is a permanent reject, Hit and Run with Bodily Injury is a 5 year.

"Look, if you can't do some damage in a Hit and Run, we just can't respect you. Automatic rejection."
