I Love to Singa
By the way, it's hell being a trendsetter. You're only as good as your last failure. Therefore, as humbled as I am by everyone else's glomming onto the fact I am lazy as hell and posted old rock videos as a result, I must declare that meme daid.
No, the new paradigm is old cartoon videos from our collective childhoods. Even worse for you non-boomers than old Lennon videos. But I grew up watching the fuzzy black & white from 6 AM to 7 AM with no one watching me. How I met the Stooges. It marked me.
Anyway, I begin the new thang with a classic Merry Melodies cartoon:
You know, that sucks, and I ain't ya friend no more, for making this new, far more stooooopid meme.
What are you, the Pied frickin' Piper or sump'n?
Posted by: Erica at April 25, 2007 6:55 AMWhat a thrill to hear "merrie melodies" so early in the morning! Thanks, V-man.
Erica, get bent.

Posted by: Chickie at April 25, 2007 9:22 AMAwesome!
Posted by: Dash at April 25, 2007 9:27 AMWhat? Are you still building up to the screeds about old Gunsmoke episodes? Is this what turning 50 does to one's brain? Shit, what a drag it is getting old.
(And Joan...I don't think Erica was really being mean anymore than I am. Rather, I suspect she was also participating with the ever-popular "Fuck With The VelociSot" meme. That meme never goes out of style. Poke him wif a stick and listen to him holla. But he loves the attention.)
Posted by: zonker at April 25, 2007 1:22 PMI wonder what's on TV Land?
Posted by: Velociman at April 25, 2007 1:28 PMSo Zonker, I can't "fuck with the Erica-girl" as a meme?
(And no, we're not going pay-per-view with any visuals that statement may elicit.)
Me 'n Erica are cool. We go way back.
;0)
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at April 25, 2007 2:01 PMVman - Looks to me like the Red Hatters are gonna have the last cackle.
Joan - Ugh. See what happens to me when work cuts into my sleep time? Humor deficiency and general cluelessness. Sorry 'bout that. I'm all in favor of busting on Erica. Not just Erica, mind you. In my opinion anyone's fair game as long as it's not me...for a change. ;)
Posted by: zonker at April 25, 2007 2:13 PMI call bullshit on this whole mess.
Surely the Veloci-Brain was not shaped, within its tender, incomplete-fontanelled Skull-Vault, by cartoons such as "I Like To Sing-A." Fuck, no. That douchebag owl with his douchebag parents? Yeef.
Surely there were other Looney Tunes characters that wreaked their havoc on the delicate Velocibaby-Brain. Daffy Duck, at the very least. All that frustration and madcap behavior must've come from somewhere, and it sure didn't come from that fucking owl.
Posted by: Elisson at April 25, 2007 3:32 PMI liked Heckle and Jeckle. Spy vs. spy in Mad magazine. Deputy Dawg. Especially the possum, "Wha happened?"
Posted by: vetfromhell at April 25, 2007 5:05 PMFuck off, Elisson. That cartoon is a deeply troubling exploration of parental abuse, expectation versus desire, stoppled talent, and unbridled individuality. Also a jaundiced take on the vagaries and brevity of popular culture, and the grim outcome of public humiliation.
I like it.
Posted by: Velociman at April 25, 2007 7:09 PMah, yes... there is no other place like this place! Dontcha just love it here??? I know I do.
:)
I'm sorry, did I hear my name mentioned? Ahem...eh'scuse me while I go all ghetto on ya assies:
NOFUCKINGBODY is gonna do any bustin' on the delicate flower here (if youse know what's good for you and all your specialhappy parts), and, if anything, I am gonna do the bustin' on all of youse, so if you'll excuuuse me, bd'bd'bd'bd'bd....Dat's all, folks.
*mwah* to those of you who have defended my honor. Expect some free pizza for dinner this evening, which I have charged to Zonker's credit card account.
Posted by: Erica at April 25, 2007 7:30 PMI can't believe I found the one I wanted on You Tube. *grin*
Posted by: Teresa at April 25, 2007 10:48 PMThanks. I spent a good three hours last night watching Bugs Bunny cartoons. I had no idea they were all up on You Tube.
Now I have to find the Yosemite Sam/Bugs Bunny episode with those immortal lines that are burned into my brain:
"Open that drawbridge varmint! Open it I say!" **CLANG!!** "Close it! Close it! Close it up again!!"
